PTs suggests conservative treatment for opioid overuse The American Physical Therapy Association has launched a national campaign called #ChoosePT to raise awareness about the risks of opioids and the choice of physical therapy as a safe alternative for long- term pain management. By Jeffrey Buis, PTA & Kyle Salsbury, PT, DPT Personal Commentary Making the Choice: Physical Therapy Over Opioids "Physical therapy and other conservative treatments should always be considered first before medication or surgery." And "Don't put anything into your body that's not good for you and don't have surgery unless it is the last resort with all others treatments having been exhausted." These sound like something our grandparents would have told us, being just good common sense. It is not a secret that all medications have side effects. This begs the question: Why choose opioid pain killers when physical therapy may be a viable option? The American Physical Therapy Association has launched a national campaign called #ChoosePT to raise awareness about the risks of opioids and the choice of physical therapy as a safe alternative for long- term pain management. According to the website, MoveForwardPT.com:
The patient and the PT can discuss treatment options to use in conjunction with medications or possibly in lieu of medications. The situation is critical. With quick action in reaching a physical therapist, those in need of pain relief can have access to much needed options. The physical therapist/physical therapist assistant team in turn must work harder to meet the needs of our clients. - Kyle Salsbury PT,DPT, Orthodyne Physical Therapy; and DPT Jeffrey Buis, PTA Orthodyne Physical Therapy Orthodyne Campbellsville, KY This story was posted on 2017-03-20 09:39:41
