Physical Medicine in Santa Ana CA

Injuries from a car accident, workplace accident or even slipping in your home may interfere with your normal behaviors and activities. When you experience pain from an accident or need help recovering after a medical procedure, physical therapy provides a solution to help with your rehabilitation goals. At the First Hope Medical Clinic, we offer the tools you need to recover and heal.

What is Physical Medicine?

Physical medicine is a natural treatment process focused on mobility, flexibility and healing from pain. The treatment process, which is also called physiatry, works with your goals by developing a personalized plan of action to address concerns related to mobility and pain.

The medical process starts with diagnosis and evaluation before focusing on the treatment solutions that may assist with recovery. We use a variety of solutions to encourage natural healing and help you recover after an injury.

What to Expect During Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a process and it starts with the initial visit to our clinic. On your first visit, we ask for some basic information related to your health and medical history. We may ask for details about an injury if you were involved in an accident. We identify the reason for your visit and then focus on diagnosing the underlying cause of your pain and discomfort.

The diagnosis and evaluation depends on your individual situation. We may use diagnostic tools, like an x-ray, as well as observation of your movements and posture before developing a treatment plan.

A physical therapy treatment focuses on your individual needs, so we develop a personalized plan for your goals and health. We may use stretches and corrective exercises to encourage healing and improve your mobility. We also use natural pain relief solutions and appropriate medical treatments when necessary for your situation and goals.

When to Visit a Santa Ana Doctor

Seeking treatment from a Santa Ana doctor in our clinic depends on your situation. Generally, we recommend physical medicine after an accident or a procedure interferes with your mobility and health. We also recommend visiting our clinic if you experience persistent and chronic pain that complicates your health and well-being. 

You may want to consider the treatment after a surgery, but only when a doctor recommends the treatment as an appropriate solution for your health. We may recommend simple stretches and exercises while you recover and heal after a medical procedure to limit the risks to your health and help improve your mobility.

Each individual has different needs, so the timing of an initial visit depends on your situation. As a general rule, visit after an accident or when you experience chronic pain.

Recovering from an injury requires the right tools and strategies. When you need treatment after an accident or a surgical procedure, you want an effective rehabilitation plan.
