How will I benefit from post-surgical rehabilitation?

Physical therapy treats the underlying cause of the problem, whereas pain relievers only mask the sensation of pain. A physical therapist will assist you in healing through the use of specific treatments, therapies, and techniques.

Physical limitations may occur following surgery, but our physical therapist will show you how to work around them. This is possible in many cases, thanks to the use of assistive technology.

Your rehabilitation plan will include recommendations for any lifestyle and/or dietary changes you can make to improve your long-term health, prevent future damage, and avoid additional surgery.

Our Baltimore, MD physical therapists will create a customized recovery plan for you to help you heal and return to your normal daily life.

The effects of opioids

The opioid epidemic continues to grip the United States, affecting people of all socioeconomic backgrounds. As a result, the CDC recommends that people use physical therapy instead of prescription pain relievers whenever possible.

According to their website, an estimated 115 people die each day as a result of an opioid overdose, and up to 29% of people who are prescribed opioids end up misusing these dangerous drugs.

Excellent postoperative outcomes necessitate both preoperative and postoperative planning. One of the most compelling reasons to choose post-surgical physical therapy is the possibility of reducing or eliminating the need for prescription pain medications such as opioids.

Post-surgical rehabilitation can help with the following conditions

Some of the more common conditions that may necessitate surgery are as follows:

  • Ablation, stent placement, cardiac pacemakers, and other types of heart surgery
  • Knee replacements, either total or partial
