Why Choose Physical Therapy for Muscle Strains?
When you strain a muscle, it’s tempting to rest and wait for the pain to pass. However, muscle strains often need more than just rest. Physical therapy helps accelerate healing while strengthening the affected area to prevent re-injury. Dr. Singh’s treatments are tailored to each patient’s specific needs, ensuring that the recovery plan addresses not only the pain but also the root cause of the injury.
Dr. Singh focuses on a hands-on, individualized approach. From athletes with sports injuries to people with everyday strains, his treatments are designed to get you moving comfortably again. And because we accept most major insurance plans, high-quality care is accessible to all.
Common Causes of Muscle Strains
Muscle strains can happen to anyone, and the causes are varied, including:
- Overuse: Repeated movements, such as lifting weights or running, can lead to muscle fatigue and strain.
- Sudden Movements: A quick twist, turn, or lifting a heavy object improperly can cause an acute strain.
- Poor Warm-Up: Jumping into physical activity without properly stretching or warming up can make your muscles more vulnerable to injury.
- Weakness or Imbalance: If certain muscles are weak, other muscles overcompensate, leading to strain.
Dr. Singh conducts a thorough evaluation to determine the cause of your strain and any contributing factors. This allows him to create a recovery plan that not only treats your current injury but also helps you avoid future issues.
Treatments for Muscle Strains
Dr. Singh uses a variety of evidence-based treatments to ensure a full and lasting recovery. Here are a few of the fundamental techniques:
- Therapeutic Exercises: Gentle stretching and strengthening exercises are essential for healing strained muscles. These exercises gradually restore flexibility and improve muscle strength without aggravating the injury.
- Manual Therapy: Dr. Singh uses hands-on techniques such as soft tissue mobilization to relieve muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and promote faster healing.
- Heat and Cold Therapy: While cold therapy lowers edema and inflammation, heat can help increase blood flow and relax tense muscles. During treatment sessions, Dr. Singh makes strategic use of various methods.
- Body Mechanics Education: Understanding how to move safely is key to avoiding future strains. Dr. Singh will teach you proper techniques for lifting, bending, and exercising to protect your muscles from further injury.
Home Exercise Program: Recovery doesn’t stop when you leave the clinic. Dr. Singh provides you with simple exercises to do at home, ensuring continued progress between sessions.
