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
