Orthopedic physical therapy outpatient can treat a wide variety of conditions affecting the muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and joints of the body. Here are some of the most common conditions treated in outpatient orthopedic physical therapy:

• Sprains and strains. These are injuries to the ligaments and tendons that connect bones to each other.
• Tendonitis. This is inflammation of a tendon, which is a band of tissue that connects muscle to bone.
• Arthritis. This is a condition that causes inflammation and pain in the joints.
• Fractures. These are breaks in the bones.
• Herniated discs. This is a condition in which a disc in the spine bulges or ruptures, putting pressure on nerves.
• Spinal stenosis. This is a narrowing of the spinal canal, which can put pressure on nerves.

In addition to these specific conditions, orthopedic physical therapy can also help people with generalized pain and stiffness, as well as balance and coordination problems. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see a physical therapist to discuss whether outpatient orthopedic physical therapy could be helpful for you.
