Wrist Physical Therapy
The wrist is susceptible to a variety of injuries, including fractures, tendonitis, and overuse syndromes. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome has been effectively treated both pre and post-surgically with PT. The compression of the median nerve, other tendons, arteries, and veins as they pass through the carpal tunnel is referred to as carpal tunnel syndrome.
The condition can result from a variety of factors, such as an injury or repetitive use of the hands. Fortunately, carpal tunnel syndrome can be treated with physical therapy, which can help to alleviate symptoms, reduce pain, and prevent the condition from worsening. By addressing the root cause of the problem, physical therapy can help to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome from coming back.
Ankle Physical Therapy Sessions
Ankle injuries, particularly inversion ankle sprains, are the most common type. PT can effectively treat many other ankle injuries, including fractures, tendonitis, and compartment syndromes. Acute swelling and range of motion are often critical to successful ankle rehabilitation.Foot heel issues such as plantar fasciitis, Morton’s neuroma, and overpronation are all treated in physical therapy.
Elbow Physical Therapy Sessions
Physical therapy is used to treat a variety of elbow injuries, including tennis elbow, golfers elbow and epicondylitis. Physical therapists are trained in many different techniques to treat patients with tennis elbow and golfers elbow such as strengthening exercises and modalities like ultrasound treatment.
Physical therapists can also help patients with epicondylitis by recommending exercises to strengthen the muscles in the hands and forearms, improving posture to reduce stress on the elbows, and providing manual therapy such as massage or pressure-point techniques.
TMJ Physical Therapist In Summerlin, NV
Patients suffering from temporomandibular joint (‘jaw’ joint) issues experience severe discomfort when chewing and talking, in addition to having difficulty opening and closing their mouths. Because the joint is contained inside the mouth, PT involves treating the face and the mouth internally.
Furthermore, the jaw joint is connected to the muscles of the tongue, lips, cheeks, and other facial muscles; therefore, many physical exercises also benefit the facial muscles, thus reducing wrinkles and improving the overall appearance of the face.
Physiotherapy for jaw joint disorders involves a variety of exercises, such as stretching the lips and cheeks, opening and closing the mouth, and strengthening the jaw joint with your tongue. In addition to exercises to improve the function of the jaw joint, it is also important to maintain good dental hygiene and reduce excessive stress to the jaw joint to prevent the recurrence of symptoms.
Hip Physical Therapy Sessions
Arthritic modifications in the hip joint are one of the most frequent causes of hip discomfort. Hip injuries, including piriformis syndrome (a condition in which the piriformis muscle gets locked up,’ resulting in sciatic-style pain), trochanteric bursitis, and tendonitis, are frequently seen. PT can be beneficial both before and after total hip replacement.
As with any joint problem, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding falls, and getting enough calcium in your diet can reduce your risk of developing a mobility-impairing arthritic hip. A combination of flexibility work and strengthening exercises can help maintain range of motion and muscle strength, as well as reduce pain and the risk of falls. Exercises that improve hip mobility and strengthen the muscles around the hip are most recommended.
Shoulder Physical Therapy Sessions
The shoulder joint is one of the most complex joints in the human body due to its mobility and large range of motion. The shoulder complex consists of three bones: clavicle, scapula and humerus (upper arm bone). The shoulder joint allows for movement in an arc that runs from front-to-back, up-and-down over your head.
Physical therapy is used to treat shoulder injuries, including rotator cuff tears and labral tears. Physical therapy can help improve the function of arthritic shoulders and decrease pain associated with shoulder injuries. Arthroscopic surgery is often performed to repair or reconstruct torn ligaments in the shoulder. Physical therapy is used to strengthen the muscles around the joint and to help restore the range of motion.
Physical therapists at Steadfast Performance Therapy are trained in many different techniques to treat patients with shoulder injuries, including strengthening exercises, modalities such as ultrasound treatment, and modalities like ice or heat.
Hand Physical Therapist In Summerlin, Nevada
Hands are a complicated and intricately designed region, and they are difficult to properly care for. Tendonitis, arthritic joints, and postoperative wounds can all be effectively treated with PT. Severely damaged hands are usually the most difficult to treat.
Since they are used for so many daily activities, hands are prone to overuse injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Surgery can also leave hands weakened and less flexible. Hands can be treated with physical therapy, and the process can often be accelerated. Hands need special attention because they are critical for many daily activities. Hands must be treated with special care.
Knee Physical Therapy Sessions
Physical therapy is used for all knee injuries, including ACL tears, meniscus tears and knee arthritis. Physical therapy can help improve the function of arthritic knees and decrease pain associated with knee injuries. Arthroscopic surgery is often performed to repair or reconstruct torn ligaments in the knee. Physical therapy is used to strengthen the muscles around the joint and to help restore range of motion.
