Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Orthopedic rehabilitation is a vital part of recovery for individuals who have undergone surgery, experienced injuries, or suffer from chronic musculoskeletal conditions. It aims to restore mobility, strength, and function while reducing pain and preventing further injury.
Conditions Requiring Orthopedic Rehabilitation

- Fractures and Trauma: Rehabilitation to regain strength and mobility following bone fractures.
- Sports Injuries: Recovery from injuries such as ACL tears, rotator cuff injuries, and muscle strains.
- Chronic Conditions: Management of arthritis, tendonitis, and other long-term orthopedic issues.
Rehabilitation Techniques
- Physical Therapy: Exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the affected area.
- Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to reduce pain, improve circulation, and enhance mobility.
- Pain Management: Techniques such as heat, ice, electrical stimulation, or ultrasound therapy to relieve pain and inflammation.
- Functional Training: Focusing on regaining the ability to perform daily activities and improve overall body mechanics.
Benefits
