Cervicalgia, a clinical term for neck pain, is discomfort around the spine beneath the head. Cervicalgia can be caused by a variety of different issues, including muscle strains, poor posture, osteoarthritis, and stress. Common complaints include neck stiffness and soreness, decreased neck range of motion, and headaches. It is also possible to experience radiating symptoms down to the shoulders, upper back, arms, and fingers. Physical therapists specialize in diagnosing and treating cervicalgia, as well as ruling out conditions that may present similarly. A physical therapist may instruct in neck stretching and strengthening, as well as evaluate posture. Recommendations for workplace ergonomics and stress management may also be appropriate steps to take. If you think you may be experiencing cervicalgia, contact your local Baptist Health Therapy Center for help today!

Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition that is a result of inflammation of the plantar fascia, the thick band of connective tissue that connects your heel to the ball of your foot. Symptoms of plantar fasciitis may include pain on the bottom of your heel and a feeling of tightness and/or tenderness along your arch. Symptoms are typically worse first thing in the morning, with long periods of standing, after running and jumping activities, and climbing stairs. Physical therapists can use their examination and treatment skills to develop a program to include, but not limited to, stretches, strengthening, gait and balance straining, and footwear education. If you are experiencing foot pain that is limiting your ability to perform daily activities, contact your local Baptist Health Therapy Center and see how we can help!

An ankle sprain occurs when the ligaments supporting an ankle stretch beyond their limits. Ankle sprains are typically graded on three classifications based on the severity of the injury. For example, a Grade 1 sprain involves light ligament tearing and swelling, whereas a Grade 2 or Grade 3 sprain will involve increasing amounts of ligament damage, tenderness, and difficulty with weight bearing. An ankle sprain is a common injury for individuals of all ages; it may be involved with sports, falls, or walking on uneven surfaces. Initial injury management includes ice, elevation, and compression as needed for swelling. As movement tolerance improves, physical therapy is a beneficial next step in the rehabilitation process. Physical therapy treatment will include range of motion, strength training, and balance training. As you progress, gradual transition into endurance exercises like jogging and agility drills may be initiated as appropriate. A large majority of ankle sprains do not require surgery; however, surgery for chronic spains or sprains that fail to heal with conservative treatment may be warranted. In this case, physical therapy will still play a critical role in return to function. Contact your local Baptist Therapy center today for information on ankle sprain rehabilitation!

Whiplash is an injury that occurs due to a sudden and forceful movement of the neck. The most common mechanism for whiplash happens during a car accident, but can also take place with sports injuries or during a fall. Prevention for whiplash includes vehicle seat adjustments and proper seat belt usage, as well avoiding dangerous movements when possible with contact sports. A whiplash injury will strain neck muscles and can potentially damage bone, ligament, and nerves. Once serious injury has been ruled out with imaging, a physician may recommend physical therapy for treatment. Physical therapy treatment may include strengthening and mobilization of the injured muscles, as well as modalities like ice and heat for pain management. If you are suffering from a recent whiplash injury, or are still dealing with pain from an injury in the past, feel free to contact your local Baptist Therapy Center to see how we can help you!

A total hip replacement, also known as a total hip arthroplasty (THA), is a surgical procedure in which damaged bone and cartilage is removed from the hip and replaced with prosthetic components. A patient most often undergoes a THA due to severe and progressive osteoarthritis, although trauma and avascular necrosis are common reasons as well. Once the replacement has been decided on and completed, the orthopedic surgeon will likely request for physical therapy to begin soon after. Immediately following surgery, physical therapy emphasis will include decreasing swelling, safe transfers and ambulation, and adherence to post-surgical precautions. As healing progresses, more advanced mobility and strengthening can take place. The THA can be a highly successful surgery, and patients who undergo the surgery can expect a safe return to walking, biking, and other low impact activities. If you have had a total hip replacement, or have plans to have one done soon, consider Baptist Health for your outpatient physical therapy services!

Lateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, is an overuse injury of the lateral elbow musculature. This injury typically occurs with repeated overuse of the wrist extensor muscles; activities that may cause this include painting, hand tool use, gardening, and, as the name suggests, tennis. A patient presenting with tennis elbow will often have pain with wrist and elbow movement, as well as difficulty with gripping objects and potential decreases in range of motion. Imaging is often used to rule out other injuries, rather than rule tennis elbow in; rather, a diagnosis usually relates to history and manual testing. Once a diagnosis of lateral epicondylitis is confirmed, an initial treatment plan consists of rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Physical or occupational therapy may be prescribed to initiate stretching, strengthening, and pain treatment. A therapist can also help identify activity modifications, and educate on appropriate timing for return to exercise. Contact your local Baptist Health Therapy Center for help with tennis elbow treatment!

Blood flow restriction, also known as BFR, is an innovative treatment method that allows patients to improve muscle development and strength while working with lower loads or weight. Muscle weakness and atrophy is common after an injury, surgery, or periods of immobilization. Traditional methods for strength training require patients to lift heavier loads or weights in order to achieve muscle development and strength gains. These heavier loads can cause significant strain to an injured or surgical joint or tissues. During BFR, an inflatable cuff is used to safely decrease venous blood flow to the injured area. This creates a reduced oxygen environment for the tissues allowing a patient to work with significantly lighter weight to achieve strength gains and improve muscle atrophy. When combined with a patient specific treatment plan, BFR can help you get back to an active lifestyle following injury or surgery. We offer and utilize this treatment at many of our Baptist Therapy Center locations and would love to answer any questions you may have regarding whether or not this is a good treatment option for you!
