Physical Therapy
Unlike painkillers, physical therapy treats the root cause of your pain. Physical therapy provides a clear diagnosis, education, and hands-on treatment to help you recover from your injury or illness. It can also reduce pain and improve your overall quality of life. Active Solutions Therapy offers high-quality physical therapy services in Albuquerque that can extend your range of motion and work to get you back to the things you love.
Comprehensive Orthopedic Physical Therapy
Our physical therapists provide specialized care for patients with impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions caused by problems with the musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and integumentary systems. We focus on a holistic approach and provide a relaxing, comfortable environment for our patients.
Our PTs treat all ages and injuries, from sports injuries to chronic diseases. They use their expertise in the areas of pain management, injury prevention, joint mobilization, and dry needling for neck and spine conditions. They also help you improve your strength and flexibility, so you can do the activities you enjoy more easily without pain. The therapists will work with you to create goals for your recovery and monitor your progress as you get better. They will make adjustments as needed to help you reach those goals.
Recover from Sports Injury
Injuries are a common part of participating in sports. But physical therapy can help prevent injuries and speed up the recovery process when an injury does occur. Using a combination of hands-on techniques, the physical therapists at Active Solutions Therapy can help patients manage pain and discomfort. They also work on correcting the root cause of the pain rather than just treating symptoms.
Our clinic specializes in providing one-on-one patient care. This patient-centered approach helps us provide a higher level of service and better outcomes. The therapists are highly trained in the field of orthopedic physical therapy. They have experience with a wide variety of conditions, including neck pain, lower back and shoulder pain, sprains and strains, and joint replacement surgery.
Prepare for Surgery Before and After
Physical therapy can improve the way you move and function after surgery or an injury. It can also help prevent pain from recurring, so you can avoid costly surgeries down the road. Whether you need treatment before or after an injury, our physical therapists are here to help. They will assess your condition and create a personalized rehabilitation plan to fit your specific needs.
Getting physical therapy before surgery can help shorten the amount of time spent recovering in the hospital by reducing atrophy. It can also reduce the chance of falling depending on the type of surgery you receive. We recommend starting physical therapy six weeks before your surgery is scheduled.
There are also benefits to getting physical therapy after a surgical procedure. Some positive benefits include reduced swelling, inflammation, and stiffness. It also promotes healing by increasing blood flow and reducing scar tissue that could potentially reduce mobility. Since it increases your movement, it also lowers the chance of complications such as infections and blood clots.
Improve Quality of Life Through Physical Therapy
Recovering from an injury, surgery, or illness can be challenging, but physical therapy can help you get back to the fun activities you enjoy by reducing pain and increasing movement. We work closely with our patients to create a customized treatment program that fits your goals and lifestyle.
Physical therapy can also help increase your strength, endurance, and flexibility, and it can also correct problems such as sprains, dislocations, tendonitis, and more without the need for surgery. Physical therapists can also help you prevent being injured again by engaging in techniques that allow you to stay active while reducing the chance of harm.
