GET MOVING AND GET FEELING BETTER!
SIMPLE COMBINATION CAN PROMOTE LONG-TERM PAIN RELIEF
PATIENT SUCCESS SPOTLIGHT
If your back hurts, should you lie in bed or take a rest on the couch? Neither! In fact, while it might feel good to take a load off temporarily, either one of these can actually prolong or even worsen your symptoms. In reality, one of the most common reasons people miss work or visit their doctor is low back pain. According to a study conducted by the American Physical Therapy Association, one third of adults surveyed say that low back pain impacted their ability to sleep, work or exercise. Yet more than half of Americans who experience low back pain have jobs that require them to sit for the majority of their day. This means the answer to pain relief is not found in less movement, but more. Read more inside this newsletter to find out how getting up and getting active can help your persistent pain!
