Advantage Rehab Inc. Is The Best Option FOR BACK PAIN RELIEF
Back pain...here we are again. Why do we talk about it so much? Because most of us can name a dozen people or more in our life who suffer with it. It is so very important to understand that the sooner you get on top of it, the easier it will be to understand it, control it and get rid of it! Time after time, we have people walk through our doors with back pain and some of them for the very first time after having dealt with it for years. Physical therapy may have never been offered to them as an
option before, they thought they could do it on their own instead of PT, or they just didn’t have a good experience with a therapist in the past. Whatever the case may be we urge you to try PT again...or for the first time! We pride ourselves in our high success rate when it comes to helping individuals with back pain. Don’t wait anymore. Please call if you’d like to talk further about how we treat and get rid of back pain in our clinic.

It has also been found that exercise and aerobic activity, like walking, assists in bringing nutrients to structures in the spine. Some of these structures, like the discs between your vertebrae, have a poor blood supply and rely on your body’s movements and aerobic activity to circulate nutrients. When a person is inactive, less of these nutrients are able to get to the structures in the spine to keep them healthy. In our programs, we look at your individual health history as well as your current mobility level and interests. Following a thorough exam, our spine specialists will develop an individualized treatment program specifically for you. We combine our expertise in manual therapy, exercise prescription and patient education to relieve your pain, restore your function and prevent your symptoms from recurring. We want to be your partner in health to guide you back into your previous activity level without pain.
Discussing Back Pain with Mike Savageau, PT
Dear Valued Client,
In the old days, when your back was hurting, your doctor told you to rest until it felt better. However a lot has been learned about proper treatment for back pain since those days, and gone are the days of prolonged bed rest. New studies show that proper movements, posture

and a gradual return to activities, has been found to be much more successful to control back pain. This allows you faster pain relief and a return to normal pain-free activities. Bed rest and inactivity have been shown to weaken muscles and bones. Whereas exercise in general, increases strength and flexibility of the muscles, aiding in healing through increased blood flow to the affected area.

ARE YOUR FEET CAUSING YOUR BACK PAIN?
When your foot hits the ground, your whole body feels the effect. Imagine in your car if your shock absorbers were worn out. You would feel every bump and jolt from the road. Your feet and legs are much the same way. The greater the impact of your step, the more impact it has on your body. Sometimes our legs are not quite the same length due to joint replacements or arthritic conditions in the ankle, knee, or hip. Even small differences may cause back or leg pain. A small heel lift can often change symptoms dramatically. Many times tightness in the ankle can also contribute to back pain. When the ankle joint is tight, this essentially makes that leg “longer” which can cause the spine to curve slightly and result in back and leg pain. Your feet and legs need to be able to support the rest of your body during walking tasks. We will evaluate your leg and foot strength and mobility and focus on improving the muscles that are weak and stretching those that are tight. This in turn will allow you to walk with better form and help to eliminate back pain. If we find that you need some type of modification to your shoes or inserts we will make those recommendations as well. We want to look at everything that can be contributing to your back pain, not just your back. This can be done under the guidance and expertise of our physical therapists at Advantage Rehabilitation Inc..
