Each patient feels the effects of physical therapy, but we have included some standard practices you should do when getting home from your appointment to help receive the healing physical therapy can provide. You should ice the sore areas for 20 minutes at a time and drink plenty of water. You need to stay hydrated, and this helps remove toxins from your body and helps your muscles heal quicker. You should also make a note of any additional pain or soreness so your specialist at Effective Chiropractic can improve upon your treatment plan.
