Physical Therapy Q & A

What conditions benefit from physical therapy?

Physical therapy is beneficial for a wide variety of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. At Chiropractic Rehabilitation and Acupuncture, patients commonly seek treatment for:

Back and neck pain
Sports injuries and sprains
Post-surgical rehabilitation
Joint stiffness and arthritis
Balance or mobility issues
Chronic pain conditions

By focusing on restoring movement and strength, physical therapy not only helps with recovery but also reduces the risk of reinjury, supports long-term mobility, and promotes overall wellness and independence.

What modalities are used in physical therapy?

To maximize healing and recovery, Dr. Ferguson incorporates advanced therapeutic modalities into individualized care plans, including:

Interferential current (IFC): A gentle electrical stimulation that reduces pain, improves circulation, and promotes healing.
Ultrasound therapy: Uses sound waves to penetrate deep into tissues, reducing inflammation and accelerating tissue repair.
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT): Stimulates cellular regeneration, decreases inflammation, and relieves pain.
Therapeutic exercises: Strengthening, stretching, and stability routines designed to restore mobility and function.

These modalities are often combined with chiropractic care, soft-tissue therapy, or acupuncture to create a comprehensive, integrative approach that addresses both immediate recovery and long-term health.

How does physical therapy support recovery?

Physical therapy works by improving how the body moves and functions after injury or strain. By restoring flexibility, strength, and balance, patients often see reduced pain, greater mobility, and improved performance in daily activities. Regular physical therapy also helps prevent future injuries by correcting imbalances, improving posture, and building resilience in vulnerable areas.

What can I expect during a physical therapy session?

During your first session, Dr. Ferguson will evaluate your condition, health history, and treatment goals. Your plan may include a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic modalities, and customized exercise programs. Each session is designed to progress at your pace, ensuring safe and steady improvement. Patients often notice greater comfort, mobility, and confidence as they continue therapy and gradually regain independence in their daily lives.
