What to Expect During Physical Therapy

Physical therapy refers to a type of treatment used to improve your mobility. At the Back to Health Wellness Center, we offer physical therapy to help with certain injuries or complications that limit your mobility. During the initial visit, you can expect several questions regarding your health, injuries and the current situation. A chiropractor may evaluate your movements and we use different tools to assess your current abilities. 

After the initial examination and assessment, we develop a treatment plan for your goals. We may use a variety of different tools to help with your long-term well-being.

Ways Physical Therapists Assess Your Condition

Physical therapists use a variety of information to assess your condition. During the initial examination, we may test the effected area for strength, flexibility, mobility and pain. We also evaluate your balance and range of motion when it applies to your situation and injury. We may ask about the level of pain you experience and any further symptoms.

Certain symptoms, like numbness or tingling. may indicate problems with the nerves from an injury. Depending on the location of the sensation, we may provide further evaluations to clarify the situation. The specific steps we take to evaluate and assess your situation depend on the injuries; however, we usually start with clarifying your range of motion, strength, and flexibility. We also ask about any pain or other sensations you experience.
