- Joint replacements (hip, knee, shoulder)
- Sports injuries (ligament tears, sprains, strains)
- Arthritis and osteoporosis
- Post-surgical recovery (spinal surgeries, tendon repairs)
Rehabilitation Techniques
- Physiotherapy – Strength training, stretching, and mobility exercises
- Manual Therapy – Massage and joint mobilization for pain relief
- Electrotherapy – Ultrasound, TENS, and heat therapy for pain management
- Hydrotherapy – Water-based exercises to improve movement with less strain
- Assistive Devices – Braces, crutches, and orthotics for support
Importance of Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Early and structured rehabilitation ensures faster recovery, prevents complications, and helps individuals regain an active lifestyle safely.
