Physical therapy is a versatile healthcare discipline that can effectively treat various conditions and musculoskeletal issues. Physical therapists are trained to assess, diagnose, and provide comprehensive treatment plans to improve mobility, function, and quality of life. Our chiropractor can provide physical therapy at Houma-Thibodaux Spine & Rehabilitation in Houma, and Thibodaux, LA. We offer both chiropractic and physiotherapy treatments.

Joint Replacement

When a joint has worn away the protective cartilage between the bones, surgery needs to be performed. Physical therapy should start as soon as you are physically able after the surgery. Usually, about a week is the average time. You need to regain your balance and the range of motion you had with your natural joint. 

Parkinson's Disease

One of the things that Parkinson's Disease causes is stiffness in the muscles. It also causes postural changes and balance issues. These are all things that physical therapy can help with. Exercise can improve balance and posture, and hands-on manipulation can help loosen the muscles' tightness. The stretching exercises are beneficial to help with any further symptoms.

Auto Accident Injury 

When you have been in an auto accident, you may be suffering from whiplash, back pain, and shoulder injuries. All of these can be helped with therapeutic exercise as part of physical therapy. The shoulder joint may be manipulated to restore range of motion and mobility. Stretching can reduce the pressure on the neck and back.

Sports Injuries

Massage, stretching, and strengthening are all things that need to be done to get an athlete back on the court. Everything from tennis elbow to knees sprained and strained. Physical therapy can restore the ability to move joints and tight muscles.
