關於脊骨物理治療

 

What is physical therapy?

Physical therapy is a non-invasive treatment method. It can boost the self-repair function and reduce damage to our body. By restoring the self-repair function, one’s recovery can be facilitated, and pain symptoms can be relieved.



What is the difference between physical therapy and chiropractic therapy?

Both are conservative treatment methods which are non-invasive and drug-free. Specialised treatments will be practised to relieve pain symptoms of muscles and joints. They differ in:

1. Chiropractors are independent of the traditional medical system
2. Chiropractors specialise in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of neurological and muscular systems.
3. Chiropractors practise chiropractic manipulations to treat pain symptoms.
4. No doctor referral is needed for chiropractors.



How long will it take for me to get better?

While treatment length varies from person to person, there are a few rules of thumb you can follow. Newer injuries, if treated appropriately and immediately, tend to respond quickly and to fewer visits assuming that major tissue injury has not occurred. Many of these first-time injuries can be effectively managed in as little as 3 or 4 visits. Conditions that have been present for greater than 3 months and chronic, recurring conditions generally take longer to recover from and full resolution can take 20 visits or more. The best way to determine how long your treatment will take is to schedule a consultation and examination. It is important to remember that chronic, recurring conditions tend to respond more slowly to treatment and take longer for full resolution. Waiting for your symptoms to resolve on their own may work temporarily but it is important to address the underlying issues that are causing your recurrent symptoms.



What are the spine and physiotherapy treatment methods?

There are many treatment methods for spinal correction. spine and physiotherapy treatments include spinal manipulations, treatments for soft tissues and joint movements. You may need to receive one or more spinal treatments. Spine and physiotherapist will use proper manipulation techniques to improve the displacements of your discs and restore functions of the spinal system. Some medical equipment will be used to treat the discs in poor condition. For example, ultrasound treatment is practised to facilitate blood circulation and 3D traction force is exerted on herniated discs put the spine in the right place and help recovery.



Can I do physical therapy treatment by myself?

Education is a part of what is physiotherapy. A physiotherapist will teach a patient how to care for their injuries. He will teach exercises to do at home so that therapy can continue beyond the walls of the clinic or hospital. He will teach ways to overcome difficulties that cannot be cured.



Are Spine and Physiotherapy treatments safe and do they hurt?

Spine and Physiotherapy treatments are extremely safe for individuals of all ages - from infants to 100 year olds. Our treatments are safe because we only use natural and noninvasive methods of care. Research consistently shows that Spine and Physiotherapy care is among the safest forms of treatment available, with few side effects and complications than traditional medical care. The treatments themselves are generally not painful. In fact, most patients look forward to their treatments as many experience instantaneous relief. Sometimes, patients may experience some discomfort, soreness, stiffness or fatigue after treatment. These symptoms are normally minor and will resolve on their own within 24-48 hours. It is important that you talk to your Spine and Physiotherapist if you have any questions during any part of your care.



Can a child receive spine and physiotherapy treatment?

Neck and spinal damage can happen to anyone regardless of age. Parents’ ignorance in such damage can cause harm to children’s muscle, and bone development.



If I do not have obvious pain symptoms, do I need to receive physical therapy?

Spine and physiotherapist aspire to maintain patients’ spinal system in a stable and healthy condition. Professional advice in the prevention of spinal problems such as proper body postures and dieting habits will be offered during your visit. It is recommended to receive a regular spinal assessment to maintain spinal health.



Can pregnant women receive spinal treatment?

Pregnant women bear extra body weight and pressure on the joints. Spine and Physiotherapy is an appropriate way to relieve discomfort due to excessive pressure on the shoulders, lower back and legs. As it is a drug-free treatment method to ease symptoms of headaches or dizziness, many pregnant women receive regular chiropractic examination and treatment. However, as a reminder, it is always good to ask if your practitioner is experienced enough with similar cases on your first visit.
