While physical therapy can be beneficial in managing symptoms and improving joint function, it may not directly heal joint damage caused by Lipitor or other statins. Joint pain and damage are not listed as common side effects of Lipitor[1], but some studies suggest a potential link between statin use and increased risk of musculoskeletal disorders, including joint pain and stiffness[2][3].

Physical therapy can help manage symptoms by improving joint mobility, strengthening the muscles around the joints, and increasing overall function and flexibility[4]. However, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the cause of joint pain and the most appropriate treatment options.

In summary, physical therapy can help manage joint pain and improve function, but it may not directly heal joint damage caused by Lipitor or other statins. Patients experiencing joint pain or damage should consult their healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
