Getting To The Bottom Of Back Pain
Manual Therapy MANUAL THERAPY is one method of hands-on physical therapy that is focused on manipulating joints and soft tissue. In an effort to increase range of motion, reduce swelling, mobilize joints or soft tissue, and decrease swelling and restriction, a physical therapist will use special massage and stretch techniques on different areas of the body. The best thing about manual therapy is that it is non-invasive and does not involve taking medications. While manual therapy is often uncomfortable at first, many patients begin noticing improvement after just one session.

Getting To The Bottom Of Back Pain There are a lot of different reasons as to why you may be experiencing back pain, and ignoring any of them is not a good idea. Some of the most common issues that cause back pain to linger include: • Muscle sprain or strain • Slipped vertebrae or disc • Tear or hyperextension to the supporting muscles or tendons • Arthritis These concerns can develop as a result of a myriad of environmental issues, such as having poor posture, prolonged sedentary activity, car crash, sporting accident, stress, heavy lifting, and so on.
When It Comes To Back Pain, Don’t Wait! When you experience an injury to your back, or realize that you are experiencing regular pain as a result of an ongoing injury or overuse, it is important to find out the cause of your back pain as quickly as possible. Back pain can quickly become chronic, as a potentially small issue can become complicated when it is not addressed early on. Working with a physical therapist can help you to identify the difference between environmental causes and something more medically based.
