LIVING LIFE WITHOUT BACK PAIN “Time To Tackle Simple Tasks Pain Free!”
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. 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 Spine Care program, 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. Look inside to learn more about our programs and say good-bye to that aching back!
“I felt like a million bucks!” “I came in with horrendous back pain. I work full time, run a farm, and am a father to small children. My back was not allowing me to take care of business. I came to ARI with a desire to get limited mobility with my back and my life. After two sessions, I felt like a million bucks! I got more than what I expected in terms of the results. Amanda, was excellent in her administration of my therapy. Many thanks ARI!” - Jason H. Patient Success Spotlight
