What is Physical Therapy?

Physical Therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on conditioning and stretching the body in order for patients to improve their balance, flexibility, mobility, strength, and above all reduce any pain they may be experiencing.  At Block Chiropractic & Sports Physical Therapy, with locations in both Smithtown and Selden, our highly skilled physical therapists are trained to create individualized programs that are specifically tailored to your body’s needs. If you are experiencing any of the following conditions, physical therapy is a great form of treatment for:

    • Low-back pain
    • Arthritis
    • Sports injuries
    • Post-surgical cases
    • Balance and vertigo disorders
    • Neurological disorders
    • Fractures
    • Head injuries
    • TMJD (Temporal Mandibular Joint Disorder)

How Does It Work?

First and foremost, our physical therapist will be with you every step of the way to ensure that your body is getting the proper care it needs and to help you reach your goals.  As mentioned before, the goal of the treatment plan will be to improve your balance, flexibility, mobility, and strength.  However, the overall goal of physical therapy is to make sure you are eliminating any and all pain from your body so that you may lead a healthier and happier life. At Block Chiropractic & Sports Physical Therapy, our physical therapists have a number of treatment options to choose from and will create an individualized program that is right for you.  These include:

    • Skilled manual therapy
    • Individualized exercises programs
    • Modalities (cold laser, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, moist heat, and cryotherapy).

Our physical therapists are movement and body health experts who optimize the quality of life through exercise, hands-on care, and patient education. Our physical therapists will create a tailored treatment plan catered to you and your needs. The goal is to improve the patient’s mobility, pain,  flexibility, combat symptoms due to chronic conditions, injury, and prevent future injury from occurring, as well as a chronic disease. Our physical therapists promote our patients to be active contributors to their own treatment since they truly know their body best. It is a process of collaboration to guarantee that our patients obtain complete and thorough care.

Physical therapy is beneficial as an additional treatment or on its own.  It is great for post-op rehabilitation, stroke patients, those suffering from osteoporosis or arthritis, and for those who want to avoid opioids as a form of pain relief after a major accident or surgery. It is a natural, safe, and effective treatment option that promotes long-term relief. Our highly skilled team at Block Chiropractic & Sports Physical Therapy in both Smithtown and Selden is available if you want to start your treatment program. Call us today to book an appointment!

ACL Reconstruction: How Physical Therapy can help

smithtown physical therapy

ACL reconstruction surgery reconstructs the ligament that’s located in the center of the knee. Also known as the anterior cruciate ligament, the ACL connects the thigh bone to the shin. An ACL tear commonly occurs in sports that require a lot of physical movements, such as soccer or basketball. While ACL reconstruction surgery can certainly help your injury situation, getting properly rehabilitated is just as important. The difference between a good and bad recovery process can mean the possibility of re-injury. That’s why at Block Chiropractic Sports & Wellness providing physical Therapy in Smithtown and Selden, we’re dedicated to helping you with your recovery process.

How Physical Therapy Will Help

A trained physical therapist will be able to bring you through a series of different exercises and training to improve your condition and recovery time:

  • Weight balance – after your surgery, you will be put on crutches to allow some weight off your recovering knee. Depending on the type of surgery received, your therapist will be able to give you a timetable of how long you will be on crutches.
  • Movement exercises -in order to regain motion around your knee, your physical therapist will guide you through some gentle exercises that you can do at home and at your appointments.
  • Icing/Compression – immediately following surgery, you will be told to use ice and compress against the injured leg in order to reduce pain and swelling.
  • Strength exercises – a month following surgery, your therapist will be beginning to build back strength in your leg. Exercises ranging from non-weight to weight-bearing will slowly strengthen the new ACL and how much pressure it can support.

If you’re looking for physical therapy in Smithtown, Block Chiropractic Sports & Wellness is the clear answer. Since ACL tears are something that should never be taken lightly, our trained staff will work through your injury to make sure that you’re 100 percent recovered.

What Types of Physical Therapy Are Out There?

Our Aids

Physical therapy also referred to as Physiotherapy, is a program in which you work with certified physical therapists to improve your balance, movement, and strength. Usually, this practice is employed after an injury, although going for personal gain is also common. Since there are several reasons patients choose to go to physical therapy, patients’ reasoning for being there is also dependent upon the therapy that is provided.

Sports Physical Therapy 

Here at Block Sports Chiropractic & Physical Therapy in Smithtown, we accommodate every form of therapy and even include a special program for Sports Care. The Sports Care program, along with sports physical therapy, not only rehabilitates athletes after their injuries but also educates athletes on common injuries and how to prevent them. 

Pediatric Physical Therapy 

Pediatric physical therapy focuses on infants, toddlers, and young children as they begin to develop skeletal and muscular strength. When working with children so young, physical therapists can detect any issues the children might be having with movement or balance, which is key in preventing these issues from becoming worse as they grow older. 

Geriatric Physical Therapy 

On the flip side, geriatric physical therapy focuses on older adults. This form of therapy takes into consideration the changes an older body has undergone, then zones in on how therapists can restore mobility and remove pain from older adults. Whether you have pain from arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease or joint replacements, physical therapy in Smithtown will help you relieve the pain while regaining strength and mobility. 

Musculoskeletal Physical Therapy 

Musculoskeletal, or orthopedic, physical therapy focuses on improving the function of your musculoskeletal system. This system includes all of your joints, muscles, tendons, bones, and ligaments. Whether you’ve recently sustained an injury, have been working with an injury, or have just been feeling pain in your joints or muscles, making an appointment for physical therapy in Smithtown will help you identify the problem and create a personal plan for recovery. 

Cardiorespiratory Physical Therapy 

Cardiorespiratory physical therapy focuses on the respiratory system, including the heart, chest, and lungs. If you have asthma or chronic bronchitis or have suffered from pneumonia or a heart attack, this type of physical therapy will help you rehabilitate from these conditions and prevent them from occurring in the future. This form of therapy teaches you breathing techniques and circulation exercises you can use whenever you are feeling out of breath or uneasy. 

Neurological Physical Therapy 

Neurological Physical Therapy concentrates on the nervous system, which can be affected by strokes, head injuries, spinal damage, cerebral palsy, and many other complications. The treatments for the nervous system usually reestablish balance, motor controls, and coordination. While many problems in the nervous system can be chronic, physical therapy in Smithtown greatly impacts the lives of its patients by providing them with techniques to relieve the pain. 

Pain Management and Rehabilitation

While most injuries or ailments are covered under the other forms of physical therapy, basic strength training and balance restoration can also be achieved through physical therapy. Managing back, neck or hip pain can be stressful, but gaining helpful tips and exercises from physical therapy will be sure to relieve the pain. 

Block Sports Chiropractic & Physical Therapy

Dealing with pain or an injury by yourself can be painful and you may not always recover the way you imagined. Certified physical therapists are trained to help you make a smooth recovery. Block Sports Chiropractic & Physical Therapy in Smithtown can help you find a physical therapist that is right for you while answering any questions you may have about the program.

Super thanks to Dr. Block, Dr. Escobar, Dr. Anthony, Dereck, and all the staff of Block Chiro for helping me out with... my back that has been suffering from spasms and pain for years now.

I have been coming here for six months, three times a week for a car accident related injury and couldn’t be more... grateful for the experience I have been having. All staff members are knowledgeable, caring, genuine, and personable. The office vibe is nothing but positive due to the supportive culture the staff members create for their patients. Everyone makes each other feel like a family. Not only have I been experiencing relief from consistent chiropractic care, acupuncture, and trigger point, but I have also learned a lot about exercising and injury prevention. Dr. Anthony has been extremely helpful in my recovery process. I highly recommend this office!!!! They are amazing!read more
