Pain Management

Pain management is an important aspect of rehabilitation. It may entail a combination of drug therapy, massage, therapeutic ultrasound, acupuncture, and/or spinal manipulation.

Hot and cold packing and passive range of motion exercises may be performed multiple times per day to prevent joint stiffness and postoperative pain. Therapeutic ultrasound (pictured below), neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and massage are other treatments.
