Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids pose risks, including blood clots, heart issues, cataracts, high blood sugar, and bone loss. Physical therapy stands out as a safer and healthier alternative. During your consultation, your physical therapist will delve into your medical history, lifestyle, and specific pain areas to create a tailored treatment plan. This approach ensures long-term results, allowing you to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle without the reliance on medications.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-94de8b7cf18343d92 fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h3 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_94de8b7cf18343d92\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"94de8b7cf18343d92\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-1052-1\" data-target=\"#94de8b7cf18343d92\" href=\"#94de8b7cf18343d92\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Can physical therapy address conditions like tendinitis and cartilage damage?<\/span><\/a><\/h3><\/div><div id=\"94de8b7cf18343d92\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_94de8b7cf18343d92\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">Yes, physical therapy is an effective approach for addressing conditions such as tendinitis and cartilage damage.

This specialized form of therapy helps correct faulty movement patterns, enhance proprioception (awareness of joint position), and restore proper muscle function. By retraining the neuromuscular system, individuals can regain stability, balance, and coordination, contributing to reduced pain and improved functional movement.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For individuals engaged in sports and an active lifestyle, knee pain can be a formidable obstacle.
