DEMENTIA VERSUS ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are often terms used interchangeably, but they refer to different aspects of cognitive impairment. Dementia is an umbrella term for cognitive decline that is severe enough to impact daily life, which includes various conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder and is the most common cause of dementia.
Contusions, also known as bruises, can occur after a blow or repetitive blows to a part of the body. No matter the cause or severity of your contusion, your physical therapist can help to manage and treat your contusion using a variety of therapies, including rest, ice, heat, compression, elevation, and others so that you experience a speedy recovery.
Manipulative physical therapy is a specialized type of physical therapy that uses hands-on techniques to effectively treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This type of physical therapy involves applying specific manual movements and manipulation to the joints, muscles, and soft tissues of the body. The goal of manipulative therapy is to restore normal joint functioning, decrease pain, increase range of motion, and enhance overall function.
