Reducing Dependence on Pain Medication After Surgery
One of the biggest benefits of post-surgical physical therapy is minimizing or eliminating the need for opioid painkillers.
Our trusted therapists use advanced pain control methods, such as manual therapy, dry needling, electrical stimulation, laser therapy, taping, and bracing. These techniques help relieve pain while improving function.
With the ongoing opioid crisis, the CDC recommends physical therapy as a safer alternative to prescription pain meds when possible. Many patients tell us how therapy has helped them manage pain without heavy reliance on medications.
