Rehabilitation/Physical Therapy

When you first come to New Mexico Orthopaedics, one of our doctors will initially assess the nature and severity of your condition.  Patients that do not require immediate surgery are often referred for rehabilitation to help them regain mobility and reduce inflammation and pain.  If your ailments do require surgical intervention, you may be referred to a rehabilitation professional later in your course of treatment.  Such measures are an important part of the process as they can help to build strength, improve stability, increase flexibility and reduce swelling after a surgical procedure.  These benefits not only improve your ultimate outcome, but also help to prevent sustaining additional injury to the affected body part and improve overall health and function. 


Our therapists use a wide variety of treatment techniques to address your needs and create programs and individualized advice for how you can continue the recovery process at home.  New Mexico Orthopaedics has assembled an elite team of certified clinicians, therapy assistants and support staff dedicated to providing quality care.  Based out of four state-of-the-art locations throughout the greater Albuquerque area, our personnel, equipment and methods are tailored in order to serve you better.
