|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.
