Joint pain and stiffness can affect every part of your daily life. From walking and lifting to simple movements, limited mobility can make even routine tasks more difficult.
Orthopedic physical therapy focuses on restoring joint function, reducing pain, and improving overall movement.
Common Orthopedic and Joint Conditions
Orthopedic conditions affect the muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons that support your body.
At Farmington Physical Therapy, treatment often focuses on:
- Neck and back pain
- Arthritis
- Plantar fasciitis
- TMJ disorders
- Muscle imbalances and joint dysfunction
These conditions can develop from injury, overuse, or long-term wear and tear.
How Physical Therapy Improves Joint Health
A structured therapy program targets both the joint and the surrounding muscles.
Treatment may include:
- Spinal and joint manipulation to improve alignment and mobility
- Manual therapy to reduce stiffness and restore movement
- Strengthening exercises to support joint stability
- Mobility training to improve functional movement
- Orthotic fitting to improve alignment and reduce strain
By addressing the root cause of pain, therapy helps restore normal movement patterns.
