Joint Care: Life Doesn't Have To Be A Pain In The Neck

Your Body May Be Trying To Tell You Something “Why Am I Suffering From Aches & Pains?”

Does the pain travel to a specific part of the leg or arm, or does it spread over a wide area to the buttock, back of the leg, or arm? Wide-spread pain is typical of muscle strain, inflammation, and weakness. Patients will typically relate this pain with prolonged standing, walking, and other physical activities. This is due to the fact that the muscles cannot support the spine or hips, and thus become strained. Specific pain in a part of the leg or arm can possibly be nerve related. In either of these cases, it is important for you to seek out the right professional help. Is the pain worse at a specific time of day? Achy, stiff pain in the morning can be due to muscle and tissue stiffness. Severe radiating pain to the lower back, buttock, and leg with bending in the morning is an indicator of a potential herniated disc. Wide-spread pain is typically related to the lack of flexibility and guarding in the spine; whereas pain towards the end of the day after moving and activity, is an indicator of spinal muscle weakness as the muscles fatigue during the day. Do you have difficulty with prolonged sitting, standing, or walking? Pain with prolonged standing and walking is typical of muscle fatigue of the spine as well as the hip muscles. It is typical to complain of pain to the low back and buttocks as your muscles cannot tolerate the activity. An easy test to check your hip strength is to lie on your side and lift your leg up 10 times. If you struggle with this, you most likely have hip muscle weakness, which will cause a lot of strain to your spine. Most people with back pain have a lot of weakness with these muscles and many others. The good news is that with the right physical therapy treatment plan, you can treat these problem areas and prevent the pain from returning. There is a lot that can be done to help pain, and the fastest way to relieve pain is to find out the true source and treat it. At JointCare Physical Therapy, our SPINE Program determines where your pain is coming from and then quickly relieves it. Furthermore, you will get stronger and be on the right path to return to the activities you love to do, without pain. Call us today to find out more.
