Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is an important adjunct to the medical management of many diseases including arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome, as well as sport injuries and non-sport-related injuries.

Often physical therapy is viewed as providing various forms of exercises for the patient. In reality, that is only a part of the services that a physical therapist offers.

Through the use of innovative drug delivery systems, including phonophoresis (using ultrasound, to drive medication through the skin), and iontophoresis (using electrical current to drive medication through the skin), a variety of analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents can be moved through the skin into deeper tissues by a physical therapist.

Broadway Apothecary can provide the physical therapist with the necessary compounded prescription medications that then can be administered to patients utilizing these electronically controlled drug delivery systems.
