What Does Physical Therapy Do?
Physical therapy is a healthcare profession that focuses on restoring and improving physical function and mobility after an injury or to help manage a condition or disability. It is a non-invasive and drug-free strategy to reduce pain, improve strength and flexibility, and enhance the patient’s overall quality of life. Let’s explore the goals of physical therapy and how it can benefit you.
Pain Management: One of the primary goals of physical therapy is to alleviate acute or chronic pain. Physical therapists use various techniques and modalities to help reduce pain, relieve muscle tension, improve joint mobility, and facilitate healing. By addressing the underlying causes of your pain, physical therapy can help you work towards improved function and long-term relief.
Rehabilitation: If you’ve lost physical function or developed pain as part of an injury, surgical procedure, or illness, physical therapy will play a crucial role in your rehabilitation and recovery. Our office works closely with patients to develop targeted treatment plans that focus on restoring strength, flexibility, and mobility. We use targeted exercises, stretches, and functional training to help our patients work towards a more complete recovery.
Improved Mobility: Physical therapy is highly effective in improving mobility and function, especially for individuals who have disabilities or movement limitations. We can assess a patient's movement patterns, balance, and coordination to identify areas of weakness or dysfunction. Next, we can work with you to design a treatment plan that is designed to improve your strength, flexibility, and coordination.
Prevention: Physical therapy is not only focused on treating existing conditions; it can also be used to educate patients with changing abilities to help maintain strength, reduce the risk of injury, and improve balance.
Symptom Management: Physical therapy is an essential component of managing chronic conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or chronic pain syndromes. We can develop comprehensive treatment plans to help individuals manage their symptoms, improve their quality of life, and reduce their reliance on pain medications.

"When my patients don’t need surgery but need a comprehensive, well-rounded, holistic non-surgical program, I often refer them to the physicians at Buffalo Spine and Sports Medicine. They are also excellent outpatient rehab specialists and ideal for patients that need to maximize functionality after surgery. - Eric P. Roger, MD"
