At Progressive Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation we treat a wide variety of orthopedic conditions including those that require surgery and those that do not.
Pre- and Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Today, orthopedic surgery is more advanced than ever, allowing surgeons to treat a number of musculoskeletal problems safely and effectively. New developments in surgical techniques include minimally invasive arthroscopic methods that can reduce scarring, recovery time and post-surgical pain. Yet, even as orthopedic surgery continues to advance, physical therapy is still an important part of the recovery process.
Surgery is just the first step to getting back your life.
The goal of any surgical intervention is to help you get back to leading your life. However, the truth is that physical therapy is often necessary to facilitate the most complete recovery possible. If surgery is needed to correct an injury or trauma, it’s likely that there is tissue damage, inflammation and scar tissue, all of which can affect flexibility, range of motion, and even the healing process. Physical therapy is effective at improving circulation, breaking up scar tissue, restoring flexibility, building strength and stamina, and protecting the integrity of the surgical repair.
We are committed to your recovery.
At Progressive Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation, our highly trained and experienced physical therapists have the same goal as your orthopedic surgeon: to help you achieve the highest level of function possible. We have worked with many orthopedics that have come to trust our personal dedication and detailed communication as much as our advanced methods, proven therapies and close, personal approach to rehabilitation. We never forget that your injury, surgery and recovery needs are unique, which is why we customize your therapy program to you.
Sometimes, the most complete rehabilitation starts before surgery.
Our physical therapists can work with you prior to surgery to help ensure the success of the procedure. In some cases, flexibility, strength or range of motion needs to be improved prior to surgical repair. Physical therapy can also alleviate certain problems that might compli-cate the procedure. In other cases, physical therapy prior to a surgery may be able to minimize the scope of the operation or even help you avoid it. For more information about how our caring, well-trained therapists can help you get past your surgery and get back to the most normal possible function, please call us today!
Our highly skilled physical therapists at Progressive Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation are here to help. We offer a wide-array of treat-ments. With offices in Costa Mesa/Newport Beach and Orange/Tustin please give us a call if you would like more information or an evaluation. We can develop a customized treatment plan to help you relieve pain and restore motion and function for an active lifestyle.
Where Does it Hurt? We Can Help!
Shoulder
The shoulder is not a very stable type of joint and tends to be easily injured. Pain can arise from problems with instability or impingement of the soft tissue or bony structure. Injuries can occur while performing manual labor, playing sports, or very often by repetitive movements.
Hip and Groin
The hip is a ball and socket joint designed to withstand repeated motion, but can become damanged due to overuse or injury. A groin strain is an overstretch or tearing injury to the muscles of the inner thigh or front of the hip
Knee/Hamstring/Quads
Knee pain can restrict movement, affect muscle control in the sore leg, and reduce the strength and endurance of the muscles that support the knee. The most common disease affecting the knee is osteoarthritis.
Foot/Ankle/Calf
The feet and ankles work together to provide support and mobility to the body. With proper detection, intervention, and care, most foot and ankle problems can be lessened or prevented. Calf injuries usually occur as a result of a sudden pushing off movement or from excessive over-stretching.
Hand/Wrist/Elbow
Pain in the hand, wrist, elbow or fingers is generally caused by repetitive motions, overuse, or an underlying condition like arthritis or tendonitis. It is a very common complaint. Injuries can also occur during accidents or activities.
Head/Jaw
Many children and adults suffer from chronic jaw and facial pain. Jaw pain can happen all of a sudden, or it can start off mild and become more intense over time. Identifying the underlying issue is the first step in treating this condition.
Low Back/Lumbar
If you have low back pain, you are not alone. At any given time, about 25% of people in the United States report having low back pain within the past three months. In most cases, low back pain is mild and disappears on its own.
Neck/Cervical
The neck is less protected than the rest of the spine and can be vulnerable to injury and disorders that produce pain and restrict motion often affecting everyday activities. For many, it is a temporary condition disappearing with time.
Mid-Back/Thoracic
The thoracic spine encompasses the upper- and middle-back region and extends down about five inches past the bottom of the shoulder blades. Although it is solidly constructed and relatively stable, it can also be a source of pain.
