The Injury Rehab Clinic

Injuries can be serious, but Injury Rehab Clinic is a team effort. Depending on the type of injury, patients may see a variety of specialists during the rehab process. Athletes, for example, often have a mix of orthopedic surgeons, physiatrists, osteopaths, physical therapists and outpatient physical therapy specialists (including athletic trainers).

In the early phases, pain management is key. The general rule is “Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.” Physical therapists also employ modalities such as ultrasound or electrical stimulation to reduce pain, swelling or inflammation. In later phases, the physical therapists focus on improving joint and muscle range of motion or flexibility by using stretching techniques. This improves overall biomechanics and helps prevent re-injury of other parts of the body that have to compensate for the injured area.
