POST SURGICAL PROBLEMS

Most patients of any kind will experience some pain after surgery. The amount of pain will usually depend on the kind of procedure and the patient’s level of health.

Most modern procedures are less invasive than they have been in the past, which results in less pain and faster recovery. Even so, there are many options when it comes to managing post-surgical pain. Patients should talk to their doctors before surgery to find out what to expect and how to deal with it.

When should a patient call their provider regarding their post-surgical problems?

If the patient’s symptoms post-operation seem beyond what the doctor had described in pre-operation then the patient should call the provider and list off their symptoms. From there, the healthcare provider will discuss whether you need to come in for an appointment or you should just monitor the symptoms from home.

What treatments are used to address post-surgical problems?

 Physical Therapy

Physical therapists diagnose and treat patients with medical problems or injuries that limit their ability to take part in their daily lives. Patients will usually see a physical therapist after a referral by their primary physician. Physical therapists work with patients who have experienced an injury or disease that has affected their movement and range of motion.

At Nextgen Pain & Injury Clinic, our team of licensed physical therapists and rehabilitation experts will focus on your total health and wellness. Regardless of the cause or source of your pain, we will develop a treatment plan with your unique issues in mind.

Our treatment philosophy emphasizes evidence-based manual and therapeutic exercise techniques that are tailored toward efficiently returning patients, athletes, and employees to their pre-injury status. We treat orthopedic and sports injuries, provide spinal rehabilitation, post-surgical rehabilitation, and industrial rehabilitation. Personalized physical therapy is used to treat a variety of conditions.

Between the bones and soft tissues all throughout the human body, small fluid-filled sacs known as “Bursae” cushion impact and help your body parts glide smoothly when moving.

If these Bursae suffer from inflammation or irritation, physicians call this condition “Bursitis”.

The subacromial bursae in the shoulder help lubricate the rotator cuff and commonly suffer from this condition. Patients suffering from subacromial bursitis may feel stiffness and pain in the shoulder, as well as swelling, redness, and soreness, which can cause difficulty sleeping.

Advanced Bursitis can completely immobilize the shoulder, leading to a condition known as “frozen shoulder.”

If you are feeling like your symptoms are beyond what your doctor has prepared you for, contact your healthcare provider and express your concerns. To schedule a consultation, contact us today.

Our mission is to help patients to return to work, improve their quality of life, reduce dependence on medication and healthcare providers, and avoid persistent injuries.
