Why you should see your doctor after an injury
When you have an accident, you might think you can just wait it out and hope for the best. However, this decision can actually delay your healing process and even cause additional harm to your body.
When you visit us at University Pain Medicine Center, we provide a thorough exam that leads to an accurate diagnosis of your injury, which is followed up with a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, lifestyle, and goals.
Understanding rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is a treatment that helps you overcome the results of an injury. The type of rehabilitation you receive is determined by the type of injury you have and the severity of it.
At our practice, we provide numerous procedures to help your body heal. The rehabilitation process focuses on pain management, strength, endurance, coordination, flexibility, and range of motion. The last step involves making sure you can complete certain tasks to perform at your peak function.
Benefits of rehabilitation
Rehabilitation helps repair your injury and gets you back to your full physical function and mobility before you got hurt.
Benefits of rehabilitation include:
- Speeds up the healing process
- Reduces your time needed away from work or school
- Allows you to start exercising again
- Helps your quality of life return
In addition, when you take the time to treat your injury with medical intervention and supervision, you can improve your physical fitness and lower your risk of injuries in the future.
Rehabilitation can also help you emotionally. As you start to feel better, your mood improves. As your pain reduces, you can sleep better, affecting how you feel.
Once your body is healed, you begin to experience overall wellness, which gets you back to your normal daily routine and keeps you moving forward.
