As individuals age, the body begins to become tired and worn down and injuries and chronic illnesses become more common. Every year, countless seniors in the Tyler, Texas area visit the emergency room or their physician’s office following an injury or from ongoing symptoms of a health condition. Senior safety and health is very important for both the elderly adult and their loved ones. One of the best ways older adults can keep their body mobile and healthy is with an elderly physical therapy program. The pain management physicians at Pain Recovery Center of Tyler specialize in a wide number of prevention and treatment options for injuries, pain and disability, including physical therapy in older adults.
