Conditions That Physiotherapy Help in West Jordan UT

Physiotherapy helps restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities of patients suffering from injuries or disease. Physiotherapy or "medically directed rehab" helps restore, maintain, and promote overall fitness and health. Our West Jordan UT patients include accident victims and individuals with disabling conditions such as low-back pain, arthritis, heart disease, fractures, head injuries, and cerebral palsy.

Treatment often includes exercise; especially for patients who have been immobilized or who lack flexibility, strength, or endurance. Physiotherapy helps encourage patients to use their muscles to increase their flexibility and range of motion. More advanced exercises focus on improving strength, balance, coordination, and endurance. The goal is to improve how an individual functions at work and at home.

Physiotherapy also helps treat a wide range of disorders; such as pediatrics, geriatrics, orthopedics, sports medicine, neurology, and cardiopulmonary physiotherapy.

FAQs About Physiotherapy

Do I need to see a physician before I can receive physiotherapy?

How Physiotherapy Works

Summit View Health Center of West Jordan UT was designed to provide an ideal environment for healing your body, through chiropractic, massage, or physiotherapy. When you arrive at our office, our physicians will take a thorough history, and evaluation of the entire body including posture and biomechanics, range of motion, and joint mobility to find out the cause of pain or disability. You will then discuss treatment options and goals so that we can customize a treatment plan catered to you.

Each session will last roughly one hour. The frequency of visits and the length of treatment is determined by the physician who prescribed the treatment. The results are typically a result of the patient's commitment. When the patient follows the plan, does their exercises as often as suggested, and uses the proper techniques, the treatment is typically very successful.

Before Your Appointment

It is a good idea to arrive at your physiotherapy appointment properly dressed. It is best that you wear snug comfortable clothing that doesn't restrict your movement. It is also a good idea to bring your insurance card, a form of identification, the prescription that your physician gave you, and if needed, your co-pay.

Types of Physical Therapy We Offer

Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Electrical muscle stimulation involves using low-level electrical currents to stimulate muscles. This can be used to reduce pain, improve muscle strength, and re-educate muscles after an injury or surgery. EMS can also be used to improve blood circulation and reduce swelling.

How Does Electrical Muscle Stimulation Work?

At Summit View Health Center, we will place electrodes on your body over the pain point or injured area. Once turned on, an electrical current is transmitted into soft tissue and/or muscle. The strength of the current will depend on the injury, the targeted area, and how deep the therapy should be.

The electrical current stimulates small but rapid muscle contraction, which can cause a prickly or tingling sensation. However, it is not usually unpleasant, and the sensation ceases when the current is turned off. EMS is meant to tire the muscles so they can relax. It also triggers the release of endorphins that help naturally relieve pain. EMS can be administered on various points, with the back and neck being the most common target areas.

Therapeutic Ultrasound

Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to generate deep heat inside the body’s tissues. This can help to reduce pain, muscle spasms, and inflammation. Ultrasound is often used in conjunction with other treatments, such as exercise, to promote healing and improve tissue mobility.

How Therapeutic Ultrasound is Administered:

In this treatment, ultrasound gel will be applied to your skin at the pain or injury point. This will reduce friction while the ultrasound-emitting wand is passed over the point of interest. The gel also helps transmit the ultrasound waves so they can penetrate the soft tissues in the problem area. Your skin will not feel much of the heat being transferred from the wand into the body.

A Natural Alternative to Cortisone Shots

Unlike cortisone injections, which primarily focus on blocking pain signals, our homeopathic injectables actively promote healing and reduce inflammation. This leads to longer-lasting relief and can help prevent future flare-ups.
