What are the benefits of rehabilitation?

Dr. Yoder's rehabilitation services help your injuries to heal by increasing blood flow to the injured area. More blood means more oxygen, nutrients, and growth factors, all of which your body needs to repair itself.

Keeping moving is also vital to successful recovery. If you don't use your joints and muscles, they weaken and start to contract, causing problems like shortened ligaments and adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder).

However, if you exercise incorrectly, you could affect the tissue repair process and worsen your pain. Rehabilitation helps you move in the right way, so you stay flexible and retain muscle tone without overstressing tissues and joints.

How long will my rehabilitation program take?

There's no set period for a rehabilitation program, as each patient has unique needs. Dr. Yoder designs your program to suit the seriousness of your condition and adjusts it as required depending on how you respond.

Acute injuries like muscle or tendon strains could take several weeks or months to heal, while chronic conditions like arthritis are incurable, so your rehabilitation could continue indefinitely.
