Medical Services Combined with P.T. 

After an injury, inflammation and muscle spasms are commonplace. Often the pain is at its highest levels for weeks and can prevent PT modalities from being immediately successful. Many pain management doctors and clinics report good benefit with interventions such as trigger point injections for pain. Depending on the type of medication used, the patient will often report immediate pain relief and will show less muscle guarding and spasm. However, this pain is usually short-lived because the root cause of the pain isn’t being addressed. However, by combining the expert medical guidance at Forest Hills Rehabilitation with the numerous clinical treatments we offer, you get the benefits of medicinal relief to more quickly and effectively then treat the underlying cause. 

When pain is alleviated through techniques such as trigger point injections, this is the perfect time to offer physical therapy or joint mobilization if indicated; and this is what separates our clinic from many of the others. Therapy sessions preceded by trigger point injections have shown substantial improvements in both pain and function versus sessions without. Additionally, there are very few contraindications and results can be quite profound.
