Choose Physical Therapy for Safe Pain Management

It is possible to combat pain with physical therapy.

Physical therapy is a safe and effective alternative to pain medication. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends nondrug approaches such as physical therapy over long-term or high-dosage use of addictive prescription painkillers.

Effective physical therapy can help patients recover from an injury, illness or disease and return to daily activities.

In addition to traditional physical therapies, Mountainside Medical Center Rehabilitation Services offers multiple advanced treatments including trigger point dry needling therapy, post-concussion syndrome rehabilitation, stroke rehabilitation and more.
