|SPINAL INJURIES (Neck & Back)|
Eighty percent of all Americans will suffer from back or neck pain that requires a Doctor’s visit. Common causes include arthritis, degenerative disc disease, sprains and strains, bulging discs, stenosis, and osteoporosis.
Modalities including heat, electric stimulation, ultrasound, traction and massage can help to reduce pain and muscle spasms. Gentle stretching and strengthening can also reduce spasm, improve circulation to spinal tissues and increase core strength to provide structural support. Instruction in proper sitting posture and lifting mechanics can alleviate current symptoms and prevent future recurrences.
