PHYSICAL THERAPY/INJECTION PROGRAM
What You Can Expect
SOS Physical Therapy has developed a program with the Christiana Spine Center specifically for their patients who are receiving injections to speed their return to activity and prolong the injection benefits. All sessions are one-on-one with our physical therapists.
-
Schedule your first session prior to your injection
-
Schedule your next session approximately 2 weeks after your injection
Whether you've just undergone a spinal injection to relieve pain, or you are still considering such a procedure, keep in mind these important points:
-
Spinal pain often consists of both a mechanical and a chemical (inflammatory) component. An injection will help reduce pain from inflammation, but you may continue to have some pain from mechanical causes. A mechanical assessment by a physical therapist specifically trained in this can help you find the correct exercises to reduce any remaining pain.
-
SOS Physical Therapy specializes in working with patients with spinal pain. Our individualized approach and working with the input from your doctor can help you minimize the potential for re-injury and optimize your return to fitness.
-
Not all exercises are correct for all issues, so searching for exercises on the internet, or doing your own exercises without guidance, often is not effective.
-
Our approach focuses on self-treatment and effective posture strategies for most daily routines, including sitting, sleeping, housework, gardening, stretching, and strengthening.
-
If you are not having any pain following the injection, we will help you return to activity and gain strength to help prevent recurrence.
-
We invite you to come in for an evaluation and experience the results.
