National Physical Therapy Month allows patients to share their stories about how PT has changed their lives for the better, sometimes almost miraculously. It also gives Physical Therapists a forum for spreading the- word about the different kinds of treatment patients can seek assistance for.

WHY #CHOOSEPT?

In recent years, National Physical Therapy Month has focused on the alternative that PT offers over opioids. With opioid abuse at an all-time high, and tragic overdoses on the rise, alternatives to this class of prescription-medication are even more important. The National Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that opioid prescriptions have quadrupled in recent years. Yet, the number of people reporting chronic pain has not gone down. Of course, many people who have conditions like back injuries or arthritis already understand that Physical Therapy can increase their range-of-motion, strength and mobility. But aside from these benefits, Physical Therapy is a viable way to reduce chronic pain. Prescriptions certainly have an important role to play in pain management. So how can you tell if or when physical therapy is a better choice than prescription opioids? The CDC suggests that if you fall into any of these categories, physical therapy is likely to be beneficial: •When pain comes fromfibromyalgia, lowback pain, knee arthritis or hip arthritis. These conditions in particular are known for responding well to Physical Therapy when it comes to pain management. • The pain has lasted more than 90 days, meaning that it has gone from “acute and sub-acute” to “chronic.” • In the early days after an injury or an operation, painkillers help patients function without crippling pain, but with long term use the risks opioids pose outweigh the rewards. • If you’ve become afraid of any and all pain. Obviously, nobody welcomes physical pain, but some people become dependent on a pill’s ability to remove all aches and twinges. In Physical Therapy, discomfort can be given a proper non-threatening place, and pain can be used again as an injury guide. This requires a medical team approach and your primary and pain physician and possibly a pain specialist psychologist should be part of this team.

If your deductible is met, your Physical Therapy may not cost you anything. Patients with family plans or those who have had major surgeries or have a chronic illness are especially likely to have a $0 balance remaining on their out-of-pocket expenses. This means that the cost of physical therapy could be minimal or completely covered by the patient’s insurance plan. If you are close to or have met your insurance deductible for the year, then now is the time to come in for Physical Therapy! Are you feeling aches and pains? Need to work on your core?
