If you suffer from pain, tension, or a lack of mobility, or you haven’t achieved your optimal level of health, Dr. Pete Lazarnick "Dr. Pete" provides effective therapeutic exercise programs in Carrollton, GA that can help you meet your goals.
What Is Therapeutic Exercise and Why Is It Used?
Therapeutic exercise is a form of therapy in which targeted movements are used to treat specific issues in the body. In general, these movements are designed to help build strength and endurance while restoring mobility and improving flexibility. They can also help improve balance and coordination.
Therapeutic exercises are recommended according to the individual patient’s needs and symptoms. For example, if the patient is suffering from low back pain, the exercises used will help stretch out the lower back and strengthen the muscles, which should help relieve pain and help support the spine.
Often, therapeutic exercises are used in conjunction with other forms of treatment for optimal results. Dr. Pete typically uses them in a comprehensive treatment plan that might also include cryotherapy, spinal adjustments and manipulations, electrical muscle stimulation therapy, and spinal decompression. After a full evaluation, Dr. Pete will work to develop a personalized treatment plan according to your needs.
