How do I begin my treatment?

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle takes work, but once you get into the groove of it, it becomes much easier. For example, eating nutritious foods is one of the easiest ways to improve your health (although we know those sweets are hard to kick.) Physical activity is the hardest aspect to get in the habit of doing, especially if you are being held back by chronic pain. Some people try to mask their symptoms with anti-inflammatory or pain-relieving medications, while others, unfortunately, give up on the idea of being active altogether. Luckily, there is an alternative option: physical therapy. With the help of a physical therapist at Sports & Ortho Physical Therapy, it is possible to reclaim your pain-free, healthy lifestyle, and get back to doing the activities you love.

How will PT help me?

The purpose of physical therapy in Greater Chicago, including Bridgeport, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Glenview, Northbrook, Beverly, Mt. Greenwood, Edison Park, Evanston, Skokie, Niles, Sauganash, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Midway, and Park Ridge IL remains the same, no matter what you are seeking its services for. Perhaps you are still suffering from the lingering pain of an injury. Perhaps you are recovering from surgery and trying to get your range of motion back. Perhaps your joints simply aren’t what they used to be, and you are looking for relief. Whatever the case may be, physical therapists are dedicated to relieving your pain and getting you back to your peak level of physical health.

A physical therapist is a movement specialist, educated in analyzing mobility issues with walking, running, jumping, bending, stretching, and almost every other form of physical activity. Our physical therapists can pinpoint problem areas and create a customized treatment plan aimed at improving those areas. Through in-office sessions and at-home exercises, patients strengthen their muscles and joints, improve their balance, build endurance, and experience pain relief, all without the unwanted harmful risks of drugs or surgery.

What should I expect from physical therapy?

Everyone has different needs based on the conditions of their bodies. There is no cookie-cutter approach to health and wellness, as one treatment plan may not work the same for one person as it would for another.

Greenwood, Edison Park, Evanston, Skokie, Niles, Sauganash, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Midway, and Park Ridge IL will work closely with you to evaluate your mobility, balance, range of motion, and severity of pain. Your physical goals will also be taken into account when creating your treatment plan, as well as any health risks that may be holding you back. At your initial evaluation, you may be asked to perform basic movements, such as sitting down, standing up, walking, lifting, stretching, or other motions. Once your physical therapist in Greater Chicago, including Bridgeport, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Glenview, Northbrook, Beverly, Mt. Greenwood, Edison Park, Evanston, Skokie, Niles, Sauganash, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Midway, and Park Ridge IL has a clear picture of what you need, he or she will begin constructing a treatment plan to help relieve your pain and achieve your goals.
