Allegheny Medical (http://www. alleghenymedical. com/) is proud to announce that their staff physical therapist, Dr. Krista Shiwarski, is available to teach individuals how to prevent or manage a health condition, provide motivation during their treatment and work with them to help them understand their body in order to achieve long-term health.
Fortunately, many different conditions can be treated with physical therapy. Some of the most common include arthritis, migraines, fibromyalgia, sports injuries (http://www. alleghenymedical. com/physical-therapy/) and back pain. Allegheny Medical's physical therapy team examines patients and develops a plan of care incorporating a variety of techniques that can reduce pain, restore function, improve movement and prevent disability.
Dr. Shiwarski is an active member of the American Physical Therapy Association and has extensive experience rehabilitating patients with orthopedic problems and sports injuries. She works closely with staff members and the referring physician in order to coordinate treatment to promote optimal, quality results.
When a doctor has referred an individual to a physical therapist (http://www. alleghenymedical. com/physical-therapy/), the physical therapy team at Allegheny Medical will evaluate their medical history and perform a physical exam. Dr. Shiwarski can then establish a diagnosis by organizing the evaluation results into defined syndromes or categories to help determine appropriate intervention strategies. Typical interventions include therapeutic exercise, muscle and massage therapy, functional training, electric stimulation and more.
Whether an individual is recovering from a stroke or a sports injury, has experienced a fall or is living with diabetes, Allegheny Medical's physical therapy team will work closely with them to evaluate their condition and develop a personalized plan of care.
