Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a valuable tool to Om Hospital orthopedists that are helping their patients rehabilitate injuries or recover from major surgery. It is a non-invasive method that can be used as a stand-alone therapy or in combination with other treatments. Physical therapy is a term used to describe a collection of therapeutic methods, such as exercise therapy, massage therapy, hot and cold therapy and electrical stimulation therapy. It is designed to challenge the body’s musculoskeletal system, pushing it beyond the boundaries caused by disease, deformity or injury.

Did you know…

that physical therapy is thousands of years old? Although there is no way of knowing exactly when it was first used, scientists do know that both Hippocrates and Hector advocated for its use as early as 460 B.C. But it wasn’t until the late 1800s and early 1900s that formal schools of physiotherapy began to emerge, along with professional societies of physical therapists. By the 1950s, physical therapy began to spread outside of hospital settings and into outpatient centers and doctor’s offices where it continues today.

VISCO SUPPLEMENTATION & PRP INJECTIONS

Visco supplementation is the use of specialized injections to reduce pain and inflammation in the knee. The injections are composed of a dense gel that contains hyaluronic acid, a biological protein that helps lubricate the joint. The body naturally produces hyaluronic acid, though quantities diminish with age. When this gel is injected directly into the joint, it helps improve the viscosity of joint fluids while also improving joint mobilization.

PRP (Platelet rich plasma) therapy is gaining in popularity as “the blood injection of miracle”. PRP contains several different growth factors and other cytokines which may elicit gathering of stem cells around the damaged region stimulating cellular proliferation and tissue generation. Since the patient uses his or her own blood for the collection of platelets, there is absolutely no possibility of infection or other side effects.

For many, Om Hospital visco supplementation and PRP injections are an alternative to undergoing surgery. For others, the injections are merely a means of minimizing chronic pain caused by physical trauma or degenerative disease, such as osteoarthritis.

When to use this therapy?

  • Tennis Elbow/ Golf Elbow
  • Rotator Cuff Tear
  • Impingement Syndrome
  • Adhesive Capsulitis: Frozen Shoulder
  • SLAP
  • Acromioclavicular Joint
  • Damaged Wrist Ligament

Some experience instantaneous results, whereas others do not experience the benefits until one or two months after treatment. Depending on individual outcomes and long-term goals for treatment, some patients may opt to receive this therapy more than once per year. Occasionally, surgery is still necessary despite visco supplementation and PRP therapy.
