Can physical therapy help neck nerve pain?
Physical therapy can mostly help with range of motion in the neck, improving strength and balance that may have been compromised if there is compression to the spinal cord. Physical therapy can also help to improve cervical alignment and posture which secondarily may relieve some nerve pain. Additionally, therapy may help to improve any associated muscle pain in the neck. Karwin McCain, MD Board Certified PM&R and Brain Injury Medicine READ MORE
How long is physical therapy after hip surgery?
Typically, patients will have home therapy for first 1-2 weeks until their first follow up with the surgeon. After that, most patients will transition to outpatient physical therapy for the next 3-4 weeks depending on progress. The main exercise after a hip replacement is walking. Overall recovery, can take 6-9 months but most of that is working on your own doing exercises at home. Karwin McCain, MD Board Certified PM&R and Brain Injury Medicine READ MORE
