Anyone who has had pain lasting longer than 3 months should consider seeing a physical therapist. This kind of pain is chronic pain and it requires professional care. This pain is caused by chronic conditions like arthritis, sciatica, and others, and although these conditions may not be curable, the symptoms and pain can be relieved greatly with physical therapy.

Someone who has suffered an injury and is experiencing significant pain may want to see a physical therapist, as physical therapy can significantly relieve pain and rehabilitate an injury. Also, a person who recently had surgery and received a referral for physical therapy should definitely see a physical therapist. Athletes might want to consider seeing one too, even if they’re not experiencing any issues, as physical therapy can help prevent injuries from happening in the first place.

This kind of doctor provides professional physical therapy for patients. Physical therapy can help with relieving pain, treating an injury, rehabilitating after surgery, or managing a chronic condition. At Harborside Sport & Spine, one of our physical therapists can offer a particular kind of physical therapy that may work better for you over other kinds. Our treatments include:

● Active range of motion treatments – Moving your own body through a range of therapeutic motions
