FAQs
What is the difference between a fracture and a dislocation?
A fracture is a break in the bone, while a dislocation occurs when bones in a joint are forced out of their normal positions. Both injuries affect mobility but require different treatment approaches.
How soon after a fracture or dislocation should I begin physical therapy?
Physical therapy typically starts once your doctor clears you and the initial healing phase is underway. Early rehab helps reduce stiffness and muscle weakness, but timing depends on your specific injury.
Can physical therapy help prevent future dislocations?
Yes, therapy focuses on strengthening the muscles and ligaments around the joint to improve stability and reduce the risk of repeat dislocations.
Will physical therapy be painful after my injury?
Some discomfort is normal as you regain movement, but your therapist will tailor exercises to your pain tolerance and adjust treatment to keep you comfortable.
How long does recovery take from fractures or dislocations?
Recovery time varies based on injury severity and location. Most patients see significant improvement within weeks, but full rehab can take several months. Consistent therapy improves outcomes.
