Orthopedic Physical Therapy

How orthopedic injuries/conditions affect an individual’s life:

Orthopedic injuries/conditions can affect an individuals life in many ways, including but not limited too:

• Work/life balance
• Social activity
• Ability to perform normal daily activities
• Psychosocial well-being
• Fatigue due to increased energy expenditure
• Injury in other areas of the body due to compensation

If you feel that you have experienced an orthopedic injury that is affecting your lifestyle in any way, a physical therapist at Pick PT can help determine the root cause of the problem and help get you back to living an elevated life!

What Causes the Condition

An orthopedic injury/condition can have many causes but may also be idiopathic in nature (i.e. idiopathic scoliosis). More often than not, there is a reason behind your injury and a physical therapist will perform various assessments to determine the root cause of your pain. Some of the more common causes of musculoskeletal/orthopedic conditions include, but are not limited to:

• Trauma
• Overuse
• Accidents
• Poor body mechanics
• Hyper/Hypo joint laxity
• Muscle weakness

What Pick PT Does to Help

At Pick PT we specialize in treating Orthopedic injuries. Our evaluation process goes beyond the typical localized assessment of pain to also examine the additional effects that an injury or illness can have on posture and global body mechanics. We also take care to explore the various possible causes of the immediate problem that brings a client to our office – some of which may be rooted in mechanical patterns that have existed for a prolonged period of time. We treat bones, joints and muscles, in a manner that recognizes the global relationships between parts of the body and between different body systems. We understand that injury to one body part not only affects that specific structure, but also the way that the whole body moves. Effectively treating global musculoskeletal function results in better rehabilitation outcomes and reduces the risks of repeated injury. Our customized treatments will assist patients in returning to daily functions and desired daily physical activities as soon as possible. Your customized physical therapy program will help you efficiently achieve therapy goals and optimized results. Pick PT knows this is the best way to help you continue living an Elevated Life!
