Tulsa prehab services: A proactive approach to injuries that require surgery

If you have a condition that requires surgery, you likely also experience pain, inflammation, scar tissue adhesions, and swelling at the injury site and surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Our chiropractors and physical therapists use Active Release Technique (ART) to break up scar tissue and reduce pain and inflammation.

Additionally, research shows that patients who undergo surgery in good physical condition greatly improve their chances for a successful operation. Proper “prehab,” including ART and controlled specific exercise, prepares your body and the injury site for the surgical procedure. When you go into surgery, your muscles will be optimized for recovery, improving the efficacy of surgery and shortening your recovery time. We’ve also seen many cases where prehab helped delay surgery significantly, and some patients have been able to avoid surgery altogether because their symptoms had resolved completely.
