INSIDE: How Can I Prevent Back Pain Or Sciatica While Gardening?
Gardening offers the opportunity to plant flowers and clean out the flower beds and vegetable garden. However, you have to take the necessary steps to protect your back from injury during gardening. Gardening is a great way to get outside and take advantage of the fresh air, but it can also put a strain on your back. Millions of Americans suffer from debilitating back pain each year that affects their quality of life. It can present itself in a number of ways – whether you are having trouble getting out of bed, picking up your kids, putting on your socks and shoes, or partaking in your favorite hobbies, physical therapy can help relieve your back pain. Our clinic can also diagnose whether the pain you’re feeling is a result of general back pain or sciatica. Back pain typically develops as the result of an
injury ormuscle strain, which iswhy it is so commonwith the repetitive bending, digging, and reaching that gardening entails. Sciatica is a specific type of back pain that is extremely common. It develops from issues surrounding the nerves and can be felt in the lower back, legs, or buttocks. Sciatica occurswhen the sciatic nerve becomes “pinched” or otherwise damaged in some way, thus resulting in a “shooting,” “stinging,” or “burning” sensation. Whether you’re experiencing general back pain or sciatica pain, our physical therapists at Advantage Physical Therapy are licensed and trained in helping alleviate your discomfort. They can also provide you with helpful tips for avoiding back pain and sciatica while gardening (and doing other daily tasks) so you can comfortably enjoy your leisure activities.
