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

What is a Physical Therapist?

A physical therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in movement and improving quality of life. They use hands-on care, education, and exercises to 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. Keregay Coleman will be a comprehensive evaluation. We will 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 can be as effective as surgery for conditions like chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis. It's a powerful, non-invasive first step to reduce pain and improve function, potentially preventing the need for more invasive procedures.

I feel dizzy and off-balance. Can a physical therapist help?

Yes, Dr. Keregay Coleman and other physical therapists are specially trained in vestibular rehabilitation. They can treat common causes of dizziness, like BPPV, with specific head maneuvers and improve balance through targeted exercises to prevent falls.

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 is a tool to accelerate your recovery.

How does physical therapy help with chronic back pain?

Dr. Keregay Coleman's physical therapy approach for chronic back pain focuses on identifying the root cause and empowering you to prevent future episodes. A personalized program will include core strengthening, flexibility exercises, and education on proper posture and body mechanics. This proactive approach aims for long-term pain management and improved overall well-being.

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

Pre-operative physical therapy, or "prehab," can strengthen muscles and prepare you for surgery, speeding up your recovery. Post-operative physical therapy is crucial, starting soon after surgery, to restore your range of motion, build strength, and ensure the best possible outcome from your new joint. We work closely with your surgeon to create a personalized plan for your successful recovery.

My child seems clumsy or behind in motor skills. Can PT help?

Yes, pediatric physical therapists are experts in child development. Dr. Keregay Coleman can perform a developmental screening to identify any delays and create a fun, play-based therapy program to help your child build strength, coordination, and confidence to meet their milestones.
