Doctors Community Hospital - Passion for Caring

Physical Therapy helps people who are in pain or have decreased strength and movement caused by injury, illness or surgery.  Patients work directly with a qualified Physical Therapist using an individualized treatment program.  A variety of techniques and equipment are used to decrease pain and increase muscle function.

Some common ailments treated by Physical Therapists include:

• back and neck pain from physical conditions or accidents 
• recovery from surgery, such as knee and hip replacements 
• regaining skills affected by stroke

In addition to the treatment provided at the hospital, Physical Therapists provide exercises that patients can do at home to enhance recovery.
