Information On Physical Therapy
Mabel Said:
Physical Therapy... any information you can share.?We Answered:
At this point, concentrate on getting the courses you need to get into college...which shouldn't be a problem at your school. If you take four years of latin, you might be able to be exempt from having to take a foreign language in college. Latin is certainly beneficial if you go into a medical field...but you'll get all the medical terminology you need in college. I would actually learn Spanish....As an undergraduate, you can major in anything you wish...as long as you've met your PT prerequisites which usually includes a lot of science, math and psych...therefore, students usually pick a major that encompasses those. Kinesiology, movement sciences, etc are typical choices.
The APTA website is probably your most accurate information:

I need some information on Physical Therapy???We Answered:
In high school, there is no specific preparation you need to make other than taking the courses required for entrance into college.In college, you must take a list of prerequisite courses as an undergraduate which usually involves a lot of biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, etc. Depending on the structure of the program, you will most likely need to complete your BS (in any major your wish) prior to entering the professional phase of the PT program. You will also have to complete observation hours and usually have to sit for the GRE.
All programs in the US are now either doctorate or master's degree...taking about 7-6 years to complete (respectively).
If you would like a list of PT schools in your area, I would recommend you go to the education programs section of the APTA website at: http://www.apta.org

Is there any information on the web dealing with radiation damage to the cervical spine?We Answered:
I'm sorry to hear about your unfortunate case. Receiving radiation treatments does carry a certain amount of risks, which your radiation oncologist should have laid out for you before proceeding. Your rad onc should have planned the treatment to minimize the dosage to all critical structures (including the spine) such that long term damage should not occur. You could potentially file a lawsuit against the hospital and doctor in this case. Get a copy of your treatment plan and treatment record and see if there is a case for it.In terms of managing your symptoms, it sounds like you've exhausted most of the resources out there. You can also try going to a chiropractor. My mom was in a car accident which left her with nerve damage in her neck quite a few years ago. She's been to many doctors, physiotherapists, acupuncturists, naturopaths, etc but none have been helpful. A German friend suggested that she go see her doctor in Germany who also happens to be a chiropractor. She saw him once and it did wonders for her symptoms. She's been symptom free for about a year now.
Hope this helps!
