The Role of Physical Therapy for Auto & Work Injuries

Physical therapy is essential for healing from an auto or work injury. Your physical therapist will thoroughly assess your condition and develop an individualized treatment plan that is tailored to your needs and goals. They may use a combination of modalities, including ice, heat, ultrasound or electrical stimulation, to help control your pain and inflammation. They may also use manual therapy and soft tissue therapy to control pain and restore normal movement of the injured area. Your physical therapist will also provide you with stretching and strengthening exercises to improve the strength and flexibility of the injured area and provide education on how to avoid further injury.

In addition to helping you physically, your physical therapist will also be in close communication with your doctor, case manager, and insurance provider every step of the way.
