Whether to use ice or heat depends on the type of injury and how long ago it occurred. Ice is best for reducing pain and inflammation within the first 48 hours after an injury. Heat helps relieve joint stiffness and muscle aches and is useful for chronic conditions. Both modalities have their benefits for different types of injuries. Consult with your physical therapist or physician to determine the most appropriate treatment for your condition.
Warming up and stretching muscle tissue before physical activity is important. Aim to stretch each muscle for 30 seconds with 3 repetitions, ensuring you hold each stretch for the full 30 seconds. Stretching after physical activity is also beneficial when the muscles are warmed up.
Tendons connect muscles to bones, while ligaments connect bones to other bones.
A strain refers to an injury to a muscle or its tendon, usually from overuse or stress. A sprain involves injury to a ligament.
Aquatherapy is effective for various injuries, particularly lower extremity issues that require reduced weight-bearing. This includes conditions such as joint replacements, ligament surgeries, and sprains or strains. It is also beneficial for spinal pain, surgery recovery, and neurological conditions affecting walking or balance.
A work-conditioning program helps restore strength, endurance and tolerance needed to perform work-related tasks and requires the injured worker to come between 3-5 days per week. Based on each injured worker’s needs and specific job demands, our therapists outline a customized program that addresses the deficits and limitations of the injured worker.
Dry needling, also known as trigger point dry needling and intramuscular stimulation, is a technique used by various healthcare practitioners, including physical therapists, physicians, and chiropractors, among others.
