Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation

Physiotherapy (PT) is a proven non-surgical/conservative treatment for spine-related pain caused by spondylosis (spinal arthritis), degenerative disc disease, whiplash and other disorders. PT is often part of a patient’s multidisciplinary treatment approach that may include medications and spinal injections. Furthermore, active and passive types of physical therapy may be part of post-operative recovery.

Who benefits from physical therapy?

Many and all can benefit from physical therapy. It is important to realize that physical therapy for the spine is beneficial in decreasing the level of discomfort as well as increasing the level of activity of the patient. This is important for patients attempting to avoid surgery as well as those patients who have had surgery and are attempting to restore their activity level.

  • Degenerative disc disease
