Orthopedic Injuries: Fractures, Sprains, and Dislocations

Orthopedic injuries encompass a range of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. Fractures involve the breakage of bones and can vary in severity, from hairline fractures to complete breaks. For instance, you might experience a wrist fracture from a fall or a sports-related leg fracture due to impact. Sprains involve the overstretching or tearing of ligaments, which connect bone to bone. An example could be twisting your ankle while hiking, resulting in a sprained ankle. Dislocations occur when the ends of bones become dislodged from their positions at joints. Imagine a fall causing your shoulder to dislocate, causing pain and loss of movement. Treatment varies but often involves immobilization, rest, and physical therapy.

Physical Therapy for Orthopedic Injuries

Physical therapy services for orthopedic injuries aim to facilitate recovery and enhance musculoskeletal function. Expect a skilled therapist to assess your injury's extent and devise a tailored treatment plan during each session. You'll perform targeted exercises to strengthen weakened muscles and improve joint mobility. For instance, if you've sprained your ankle, expect exercises that gradually restore your range of motion and stability. Manual techniques, like joint mobilization or soft tissue manipulation, may also alleviate pain and improve tissue healing. Your therapist will educate you on proper body mechanics to prevent re-injury and guide your return to daily activities. The overall goal is to reduce pain, restore full function, and provide you with strategies for long-term orthopedic health.
