When is surgery necessary?

When conservative treatment options for an injury or health condition fail to provide effective relief, many physicians will recommend surgical correction. Common conditions that lead to surgery include, but are not limited to:

  • ACL, MCL, and/or meniscus repairs
  • Rotator cuff tears
  • Full or partial knee replacements
  • Total hip replacements
  • Heart surgery (ablations, stent placements, cardiac pacemakers, etc.)

What to Expect?

The impact of these surgeries on your body should not be understated. Most surgeries incur at least some degree of pain, inflammation, mobility limitations, and swelling. To complicate matters, you likely were already experiencing pain and dysfunction prior to your operation!

To accommodate healing tissues and to avoid recurring dysfunction, it’s likely that you’ll have to learn how to do certain things all over again. For example, something as simple as walking and/or getting dressed. Our Riverside, Corona, Chino, Redlands, and Beaumont, CA physical therapists can teach you how to perform tasks safely while following critical post-operative guidelines. These guidelines include hip precautions, sternal precautions, spine precautions, non-weight bearing, etc.

Why Physical Therapy?

Both pre- and post-surgical rehab are essential elements to successful outcomes. Any type of surgery can be considered a form of trauma and can affect the body differently. Even minor and uncomplicated surgical procedures can have a major impact on your health. Because of this, post-surgical rehab with a Riverside, Corona, Chino, Redlands, and Beaumont, CA physical therapist is especially important.

Individualized post-surgical rehab with a physical therapist not only minimizes your pain and accelerates your rate of healing, but it can also reduce the chances of postoperative complications, including infections, bleeding, blood clots, muscle weakness, scar tissue, decreased function, and other factors that can negatively impact your long-term health.

Another critical reason for electing post-surgical physical therapy is its ability to help you reduce or completely avoid prescription painkillers, including opioids. An opioid epidemic is currently gripping the country and impacting every socioeconomic class. According to the CDC, an estimated 115 people every day die from an opioid overdose, and upwards of 29% of people, prescribed opioids will end up misusing these dangerous drugs.

For this reason, the CDC advises people to choose physical therapy over prescription painkillers whenever possible.

Why, Post-surgical rehab?

Whatever surgery you may be undergoing, physical therapy can help you regain your function once again. Our physical therapist will design you a personalized treatment plan with exercises and stretches that will maximize your post-surgical recovery.

While pain-management drugs simply mask the pain, physical therapy helps resolve it at the source! Your Physical Therapy Appointments vary with the following treatments: joint mobilizations, home exercise programs, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation. We reduce your pain through specialized therapy techniques, methods, and modalities.

Depending on the limitations your surgical operation brings, our physical therapists can provide you with tips on how to safely move while you are recovering, such as how to get in and out of a car, go up and down the stairs, or put on your clothes. We can give you adaptive tools to compensate for reduced movement. And work to restore your body’s normal range of movement as quickly as possible.

Part of your rehabilitation process will also include education on lifestyle and nutritional techniques that will help in optimizing your long-term health. This will help you avoid re-injury, recurrent surgeries, and prolonged downtime.
