Frequently Asked Questions About Physical Therapy

Is physical therapy the same as physiotherapy?

Yes. Physical therapy and physiotherapy generally refer to the same type of care. In the United States, “physical therapy” is the more common term, while “physiotherapy” is often used in other countries.

What does physical therapy help with?

Physical therapy may help with pain, stiffness, weakness, limited mobility, injury recovery, balance, posture, and movement-related problems. It is commonly used for back pain, neck pain, joint pain, sprains, strains, sports injuries, and recovery after accidents.

Do I need imaging before starting physical therapy?

Not always. Some patients can begin care after an evaluation. If your symptoms suggest that imaging may be needed, Injury Care Centers offers digital X-ray and MRI services when clinically appropriate.

 

Can physical therapy help with back pain?

Physical therapy may help patients with back pain by improving mobility, strength, posture, core stability, and movement mechanics. Depending on your condition, your care plan may also include chiropractic care, spinal decompression, or other services.

Can physical therapy help after a sports injury?

Yes. Physical therapy may help patients recover from sports injuries by improving strength, flexibility, mobility, and confidence with movement.

How do I know if physical therapy is right for me?

You do not have to know before your visit. Our team can evaluate your symptoms, discuss your goals, and help determine whether physical therapy or another service may be appropriate.
