5. How is physical therapy different than chiropractic?
Chiropractors typically 'adjust' or 'manipulate' the spine with a quick twist. At Physical Therapy Services of Guilford, with our positioning assistance, we will help you to self-correct the alignment of your spine through gentle exercise.
6. How many sessions of physical therapy will I need?
The number of therapy sessions you will need will depend upon your condition and the severity of your condition. The amount of time that you have had your condition also will affect your therapy time.
7. What should I wear?
You should come dressed so that you can move comfortably, whether sitting, standing, or lying down. We recommend that you wear sweat pants.
8. How are you different from other physical therapists?
At Physical Therapy Services of Guilford, we spend time with you, one-on-one. We have individual treatment rooms for your privacy. Through years of experience, we have found that hands-on therapy, as well as exercising, is more beneficial than exercise alone.
