John Roger and Pain Management (Aired on July 1 and July 2 2017)

Pain Management with Physical Therapy (Aired on July 1 and 2, 2017)
John Roger, who has a doctorate in physical therapy, visits RadioRotary with the message that physical therapy is often the right way to treat chronic or acute pain
iead of or in addition to potentially addictive opioid medication. Beyond to the
joint pains that we commonly think of when seeking physical therapy, the
techniques are also useful for treating severe headaches, the chronic pain of
fibromyalgia, and the pain from tendon, ligament, or muscle damage, which is
often caused by sports injury. In many cases, the key to pain relief comes from
posture improvement, stress relief, and lifestyle changes that are addressed by a
doctor trained in physical therapy. A medical doctor may prescribe physical
therapy, but a prescription is not necessary to obtain treatment.
