If you have sustained an auto accident injury or personal injury, you may struggle to perform basic activities, like walking up and down the stairs, looking from side to side, or even bending over. Due to a musculoskeletal injury, these movements can be incredibly painful if they aggravate a pinched nerve or strained muscle. Physical therapy is an important complement to the chiropractic care you may already be receiving.

Get Active Again with Physical Therapy Exercises!

Spinal adjustments can help restore proper alignment to the body, correcting the underlying cause for your pain. At the same time, physical therapy treatments can accelerate the healing process, helping to restore a full range of movement and flexibility to your body.

We recommend beginning a Lake Worth physical therapy program as soon as possible following your accident or injury. The earlier our chiropractor, Dr. Cacic begins treatment, the more we can do to prevent the formation of painful scar tissue. However, physical therapy exercises are helping at any time - even if it has been months or years since your accident.

Our chiropractor will create a treatment program tailored to your individual recovery needs, such as back pain relief or healing from a sports injury. Electrical stimulation is a safe and effective physiotherapy technique for promoting internal healing by increasing circulation while also relaxing muscle spasms. Hydrotherapy uses water during the healing process in the form of hot baths, wraps or cold compresses to relieve pain and restore health. We also offer massage therapy to help relax muscles and release deep knots and tension.

Corrective exercises are also an important part of our rehabilitation program. When your body is in pain, it's natural to resist movement - after all, you may be afraid that exercising could aggravate an injury or worsen pain. However, immobilized tissue lacks the oxygen-rich blood necessary for healing, becoming stiff and sore. Stretching and strength training exercises help restore proper movements to the body, increase flexibility and enhance coordination.
