Pain Relief

When you have a passion for fitness, you want to recover from injuries quickly so that you can get back to doing what you love. Whether you’re suffering from runner’s knee, a torn muscle, or other sports injuries, physical therapy can help you get back out there more quickly.

Use Physical Therapy to Recover from Injuries

Our bodies are wonderful things, and the ability to heal from painful injuries is part of their magic. While resting and other less active forms of treatment can potentially see you return to near normalcy, physical therapy addresses the issues head-on so that you can recover from injuries faster.

There are several key benefits to working with a physical therapist, and that includes minimizing pain in the present. Physical therapy naturally manages your pain and helps you work past it, and it does so without the need for potentially harmful medications or invasive procedures. It can also help lower the chances of recurrence or re-injury, letting you forge ahead with more confidence.

And thanks to physical therapy, you don’t just have the potential to get back to 100%—you have the tools to get even better than you were before you got hurt. A physical therapist can help improve balance, posture, range of motion, and flexibility, which can provide a big boost for athletic performance moving forward.

But physical therapy is about more than working directly with a professional at our offices. P.T. also includes performing recommended corrective exercises and stretches in your free time, which can further recovery from injuries like runner’s knee or tennis elbow. And it includes other positive lifestyle changes like eating better, drinking more water, and encouraging better health habits on the whole.

Wills Chiropractic Can Help with Runner’s Knee and More

Wills Chiropractic in Rochelle, IL, also recommends working with a physical therapist for help with conditions like vertigo and sciatica.
