Patient Success Spotlights
Spine Treatment
What to expect: Your physical therapist will perform a physical examination of your spine. Your physical therapist may touch points along the spine to determine any areas of pain or tenderness, and check your spinal movements; the strength in your spine, legs, and shoulders; and your balance. During the healing process when your activity is limited, muscles in the core, hips, and back can become weak. This weakness can make it difficult to resume your regular activities, and the weakness can put you at greater risk for falls. Your physical therapist can help you regain the strength and mobility that you may have lost while the fracture healed. Your treatment may include: Pain reduction. Your physical therapist may use different treatments and technologies to control and reduce your pain, and help you avoid the need for pain medications, including opioids. Flexibility exercises. Your physical therapist may teach you gentle spinal range-of-motion exercises for the neck, thoracic, lumbar, hip, and shoulder areas. Strengthening exercises. Your physical therapist will prescribe gentle strengthening exercises to help stimulate your bone strength. Exercises may include upper- and lower-body, abdominal, and back muscle- strengthening activities.
