Physical Therapy
The physical therapists at Arizona Chiropractic Group & Medical help patients reduce pain and improve their mobility and flexibility. Physical therapy is often a necessary component to rehabilitation following an injury or fall and is one of the foremost treatment methods for recovery. Physical therapy, together with chiropractic care, provides an effective, non-surgical treatment for various musculoskeletal injuries and diseases by enhancing flexibility, strength, movement, coordination, endurance, and balance. Pain management is achieved by teaching safe stretching, conditioning, and strengthening techniques.
Like a chiropractor, physical therapists use a hands-on, drug-free approach to treat patients suffering from pain due to an accident, injury, disease, or aging. Dr. Mioni and his staff of trained physical therapists are committed to rehabilitation programs that work to restore your daily, recreational, and work activities.
Physical therapy focuses on improving muscle flexibility and strength, joint function, and proprioception (awareness of the position of the body in space), resulting in increased balance, coordination, kinesthetic awareness, and better posture. Physical therapy also reduces pain and dysfunction by correcting imbalances.
People generally seek out physical therapy because they are in pain. That pain may be acute, meaning that it came on suddenly, likely due to a traumatic injury such as a torn ligament, strained muscle, ankle sprain or even a fracture; or it could be chronic, meaning it has been in your life for some time. Chronic pain often starts out as a minor annoyance but escalates into debilitating pain that can lead to missed work, decreased physical activity, and even depression. When pain affects your daily activities, physical therapy can often provide relief.
Physical therapy requires active participation. Depending on the issue, we will likely recommend seeing a physical therapist 2-3 times per week (30-45 minutes) and incorporating daily home exercises, as dictated by your individual condition. Patients who participate in their recovery by completing the home exercises as advised by their physical therapist, benefit the most from their rehabilitation program.
Physical therapy can comprise a variety of techniques including exercise, hot or cold packs, Kinesio tape, ultrasound, electrical nerve stimulation, and manual therapy. As important as what you DO, we will also help educate you on activities to avoid, such as certain twisting movements and excessive weight lifting. We will also help you understand proper body mechanics. At Arizona Chiropractic Group & Medical, we advocate for ownership. It is your body. We want you to understand how it functions and how to maintain it for many years to come.
One of the more highly effective forms of physical therapy employed by the trained technicians at Arizona Chiropractic Group & Medical is Electrical Muscle Stimulation, or EMS. EMS uses electric impulses to cause the muscles to contract. EMS therapy is commonly used in the prevention of muscle atrophy due to inactivity or neuromuscular imbalance, which can occur after musculoskeletal injuries.
Kinesio Taping is also highly therapeutic and an effective pain reliever. Kinesio tape alleviates discomfort and facilitates lymphatic drainage my microscopically lifting the skin. This lifting affects convolution in the skin thus increasing interstitial space and allowing for a decrease in inflammation, reducing pressure while enabling a more effective flow of blood and lymphatic fluid in and out of the target area.
Clinical studies have shown the greatest recovery within the least amount of time in patients who receive physical therapy in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments.
At Arizona Chiropractic Group & Medical, we work one-on-one with each of our patients to establish a treatment program that addresses individual goals and needs. Using a real world care approach involving therapeutic exercise, manual techniques, and home exercise programs, we ensure our patients are given the best opportunity to return to the highest level of function possible.
