Tramadol may enhance physical therapy by reducing pain severity, allowing more participation in rehabilitative exercises, which can promote faster recovery in chronic pain management.
Alternatively, tramadol’s side effects, such as dizziness and sedation, may impair a patient’s ability to engage fully in physical therapy, potentially hindering progress in rehabilitation.
