 Outpatient Physical Therapy
The individualized "hands on" approach that characterizes a physical therapist’s care is highly valued by patients. When the McLaren Lapeer Region physical therapist sees a patient for the first time, an evaluation will be performed with a plan of care developed that promotes the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. The P.T. and PTA work side by side to make sure the goals of the treatment plan are met.

Many treatment methods are utilized and may include: ultrasound, EMS (electric muscle stimulation), massage, heat, ice, and traction to help reduce pain, swelling, and muscle spasm.
