Nerve Injuries
Physical therapy is essential for rehabilitating nerve injuries,
aiding in recovery, restoring function, and preventing further issues.
Treatment plans commonly involve:
-
Manual Therapy:
Gentle techniques to alleviate nerve tension and enhance blood flow.
-
Therapeutic Exercises:
Strengthening and stretching routines to improve mobility and avoid muscle imbalances.
-
Neuromuscular Re-education:
Methods to enhance coordination, balance, and sensory feedback.
-
Pain Management Strategies:
Modalities such as electrical stimulation, heat, or cold therapy to alleviate discomfort.
Recovery duration depends on the severity of the injury, but with
appropriate therapy, many patients can regain function and alleviate pain.
If you have nerve-related symptoms, a physical therapist can create a
customized treatment plan to facilitate your recovery journey.
