How Does Rehab Help You Recover After Surgery or Trauma? 

The key goals of rehabilitation exercises include restoring your range of motion to the level it was before the surgery or trauma. Rehab will strengthen your muscles and reduce the pain you feel when moving. You will also learn how to do daily tasks while you heal, such as climbing stairs, rising from your bed or chair, getting into a car, dressing, and bathing. These measures keep you from reinjuring yourself and prevent you from experiencing chronic pain.

Importance of Rehabilitation Exercises 

Surgery may correct a condition, but every the most precise surgical procedure can damage the tissue around the surgical site. Some patients report that they have continued pain for long periods after surgery, and our chiropractor can prevent this from happening to you. Surgical procedures are being performed more often today than ever because they have grown safer and less invasive over the years. This has led more patients than ever to visits our chiropractor to facilitate recovery after surgery.

The goal of the initial adjustments performed by our chiropractor center around reducing inflammation and swelling throughout your body. This will allow healing nutrients to flow freely to your damaged tissues, enhancing the body’s natural ability to heal itself. After the initial stage of treatment, the focus will shift to keeping your body in optimal condition to reduce your chances of being injured or requiring surgery again in the future. Exact adjustments performed will depend on the cause, location, and severity of your pain and immobility.
