Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Physical Therapy care with Dr. Jacquelyn DPT:

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Jacquelyn DPT, is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement. They use hands-on care, education, and exercises to improve quality of life, prevent injuries, manage pain, and restore function after illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Jacquelyn DPT will be a comprehensive assessment. We'll discuss your medical history and goals, then perform a physical evaluation of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This is the starting point for creating a completely personalized prevention and recovery plan.

Can physical therapy help me avoid surgery?

Yes, in many cases. Physical therapy, like with chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis, can be just as effective as surgery in reducing pain and improving function. It's a powerful, non-invasive first step that can potentially prevent the need for more invasive procedures.

What is dry needling?

Dry needling is a skilled technique where a physical therapist inserts a thin needle into a muscle "trigger point" to release tension and relieve pain. It's based on Western anatomy and physiology, unlike acupuncture, and can be a valuable tool to accelerate your recovery.

I'm having joint replacement surgery. When should I start PT?

Prehabilitation, or pre-surgery physical therapy, strengthens muscles to speed recovery. Post-operative physical therapy, starting soon after surgery, is crucial to restoring range of motion, building strength, and achieving the best possible outcome from your new joint. Dr. Jacquelyn DPT will work with you to develop a personalized plan for both prehab and post-op care.

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Jacquelyn DPT's physical therapy approach for chronic back pain goes beyond temporary relief. We focus on identifying the root cause and creating a personalized program including core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on posture and body mechanics to prevent future episodes. This empowers you to manage your pain and improve your overall well-being.

I have arthritis. Can physical therapy actually help?

Yes, physical therapy is a cornerstone of arthritis management. While it can't reverse arthritis, a targeted exercise program from Dr. Jacquelyn DPT can strengthen the muscles around the joint, improve flexibility, and significantly reduce pain, helping to prevent disability and maintain an active life.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy, provided by Dr. Jacquelyn DPT, is a specialized area of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles of the pelvic floor. It's a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and issues related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery, benefiting both men and women.
