Common Reasons for Total Joint Replacement:

Total joint replacement surgery is typically recommended for individuals who:

  • Suffer from severe joint damage, often caused by debilitating arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Have experienced a traumatic injury to their joint(s), sometimes necessitating surgical intervention depending on the extent of the damage.
  • Endure chronic, excruciating pain that significantly impairs daily activities, with no improvement from other treatment options.

If you suspect you might require total joint replacement surgery, it's crucial to consult your primary physician. For those who have already undergone the procedure, your primary physician is likely to refer you to a Columbus, OH physical therapist as part of your recovery plan.

How Can Physical Therapy Benefit You?

Physical therapy plays a pivotal role in the rehabilitation process following total joint replacement surgery. Our skilled physical therapists will devise a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs, aimed at restoring your range of motion, flexibility, strength, endurance, and overall mobility. Physical therapy can also be beneficial both before and after your surgery to ensure a smoother recovery journey.

What to Expect:

Your initial appointment will involve a comprehensive physical evaluation to determine the most suitable treatment course for your unique situation. Subsequently, our physical therapist will create a customized treatment plan focused on your rehabilitation and ultimate physical well-being.

Initially, your treatment plan will incorporate passive physical therapy techniques primarily aimed at pain relief and recovery. This may include manual therapy, gentle therapeutic exercises, or a combination of therapies as determined by your physical therapist. As you progress, you'll transition to active physical therapy, which includes strength-building exercises conducted under the guidance of your Upper Arlington, OH physical therapist, as well as at-home exercises for you to perform independently. These efforts will expedite your recovery, enhance your functional abilities, and reduce discomfort.

If you believe our total joint replacement rehabilitation services could improve your life, don't hesitate to schedule an appointment at FYZICAL Upper Arlington today. We're dedicated to helping you regain pain-free and unrestricted movement, enabling you to live your best life!
