Can a Physical Therapist Prescribe Pain Medication?

Physiotherapy treatment is based on the therapeutic effect of natural or artificially created physical factors, such as light (phototherapy), temperature (infrared radiation, cryotherapy), electric currents, ultrasound, magnetic field, laser radiation, etc. Due to the influence of physical factors, inflammation in the tissues, swelling, and pain are eliminated, and blood circulation and metabolic processes in tissues are improved.

Physiotherapeutic procedures have both a local effect on individual organs and areas of the body and a generally beneficial effect on the human body. Physiotherapy, as a rule, is prescribed in combination with other therapeutic and rehabilitation measures, but sometimes it can be specified as the primary treatment. Physical therapy does not cause side effects or allergic reactions. It is compatible with drug therapy and other treatment methods. However, only a physiotherapist can prescribe an effective and safe treatment regimen.

Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Program

The weakening of the pelvic floor muscles entails many unpleasant consequences. These are involuntary urination, fecal incontinence, and constant pain in the perineum. The vagina becomes wide and loses sensitivity, and the quality of intimate life worsens. Women often face such problems after childbirth and who have entered the period of menopause.

In a woman’s body, there are pelvic floor muscles, the condition of which does not affect the appearance but can cause many diseases and disorders. These muscles support the pelvic organs (bladder, urethra, vagina, intestines), ensuring their proper functioning. It is impossible to pump up the powers of the pelvic floor in the gym. To solve such problems, clinic specialists have developed Pelvic floor physical therapy, which helps to eliminate not the symptoms but the cause of the disease.
