Dr. Tsai C. Chao, M.D.

As a physician, I can provide you with general information about the recovery timeline for a broken ankle surgery. However, please note that individual recovery times can vary depending on various factors, including the severity of the injury, the type of surgery performed, and the individual's overall health and adherence to the rehabilitation process. It is always best to consult with your own healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the recovery time after a full knee replacement. The healing process after a knee replacement can vary depending on several factors, including the patient's physical condition, age, and the frequency of therapeutic treatments. Generally, patients can expect to see some improvements in their mobility and pain levels within a few weeks to a few months after surgery. However, it can take up to a year to fully recover and see the full benefits of the surgery.

Before considering a knee replacement surgery, it is important to explore all other advanced options and discuss the risks and potential complications with your healthcare provider. Some patients may be able to improve their knee function through non-surgical treatments such as PRP injections or injectable products containing cytokines, growth factors, natural nanoparticles, and proteins which
support the mechanical activity of joints, tendons, ligaments and other musculetal applications. It is important to weigh the potential benefits and risks of any surgical procedure before making a decision.

I encourage you to discuss all of your options with your healthcare provider and ask any questions you may have about the procedure. They can provide you with personalized recommendations based on your individual situation.

Exercises that are good for scoliosis depend on the severity and location of the curvature, age, physical ability, and overall health. In general, exercises that focus on strengthening back, abdomen, and pelvis muscles can help improve posture and reduce curvature. These may include spinal stretches, core strengthening exercises like planks and abdominal crunches, yoga or Pilates, resistance training using weights or resistance bands, and low-impact aerobic exercises like cycling, swimming, or walking. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any exercise program.

For joint rehabilitation, the first step is always restoration of normal range of motion of the joint. Shoulder is the most mobile joint of the body. The normal range of motion of the shoulder joint is up to 180 degrees in forward flexion and abduction, 90 degrees in external rotation, 80 degrees in internal rotation, 70 degrees in backward extension, and 30 degrees in adduction. The normal range of motion for dancers should be a lot more than persons with an ordinary job duty. Patients with shoulder pain always have some limited range of motion and shoulders with more severely limited range of motion are more painful and more functional limitation. While we always have to fight for gaining normal range of motion and therefore tolerate some pain in the exercises, deep heat modalities such as therapeutic ultrasound prior to or during the active and passive range of motion exercises as well as gentle and sustained stretching are very helpful to decrease pain and achieve better outcome.

Absolutely. Aggressive physical therapy to restore hip joint function and ambulation training is important part of the post total hip replacement rehabilitation management.

Yes.

This would be dependent on the nature and severity of the injury and all programs should be individualized.

With appropriate patient education and treatment, full recovery including prevention of recurrent would require three months.

About 80% headaches are cervicogenic. Physical therapy does treat neck pain and therefore would ease majority headache patients.

Exercise is usually doe during or following deep heating modalities such as therapeutic ultrasound. active and passive range of motion with low tension, gentle and sustained stretching to achieve functional range of motion. When this is satisfied, you may start progressive resistive exercise to increase muscle strength and endurance to achieve full recovery.

It's all depended on how long and how severely the nerve was damaged and also depended on how successfully done and your own healing power which is related to your age, nutritional status, and general health condition. If some of the nerve fibers were permanently damaged prior to surgery. the recovery may not be complete. In general, few months is required to see improvements.

A sport related leg injury should be evaluated by an experienced physician based on how and when the injury occurred, the associated symptoms and signs to determine the nature of the injury and therefore a clear diagnosis. A therapeutic program will then be established for physical therapist to carry out. The program may include modalities, joint range of motion, and therapeutic exercises to decrease pain and swelling, maintain functional joint range of motion, muscle strength and endurance, and functional restoration.

Physical therapists use deep heat modality such as therapeutic ultrasound and electric stimulation to ease shoulder pain. To restore functional range of motion is important to radically ease shoulder pain and therefore range of motion exercise and gentle stretching should be emphasized. Acupuncture before stretching may improve your tolerance to the therapeutic program.

Migraine is a neurological condition marked by intense, often debilitating headaches. It can also be accompanied by symptoms like nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and numbness or tingling. There are various treatments for migraine, and physical therapy may be helpful in treating migraine for some people. I personally do not believe that it could cure this disease.

Postoperative physical therapy is essential for pain release and functional restoration.

Bone spur such as the one with the heel bone is actually ossification of the tendinous attachment to the bone and need not and should not be surgically removed. All you need to do is to have your doctor to treat the associated focal inflammation as the cause of pain and ambulation difficulty. stepping on and rolling a gulf ball under your foot or have a steroid injection may resolve your symptoms.
