Physical Therapy is a great conservative means of pain management for various acute and chronic conditions prior to the use of medications, procedures, and surgeries. Physical therapy (PT) involves the treatment, healing, and prevention of injuries or disabilities and is used to help relieve pain, promote healing, and restore function and movement.
PT is practiced by a professionally trained physical therapist, and although some states are now direct access (patients can go directly to a Physical Therapist without a Doctors’ diagnosis and referral), in Oklahoma, PT requires the referral of a doctor.
