Our goal at AICA Marietta is to help you recover from your car accident using the most advanced techniques in orthopedic and chiropractic care. In most cases, our patients are able to recover without the need for surgery. However, if you do need surgery, your recovery will be facilitated through post-surgical physical therapy. Our Marietta physical therapists make sure that you have the best outcome through rehabilitation after surgery.
AICA Marietta’s approach to post-surgical physical therapy is unique. Our physical therapists have the benefit of direct communication with our in-house orthopedic surgeons about each patient’s condition. This allows our physical therapists to know which motions are permitted after a surgical procedure.
Knowing this information reduces the risk of re-injuring the affected area after surgery. AICA Marietta’s post-surgical physical therapy team also works to help you recover from surgical procedures performed by our affiliates. For example, as our patient, you may start your treatment us and then undergo a surgical procedure with one of our affiliates. Then, you will return to ACIA Marietta after surgery to begin rehabilitation with our physical therapists.
Post-surgical physical therapy strengthens the muscles around joints to support them as they heal. We use treatments that take into consideration the rebuilding process of bone and soft tissue. Our physical therapists use their extensive knowledge of the body and its movements to administer treatments that restore range of motion. This allows you to resume normal activities such as walking and lifting.
