Whether you have back pain, neck pain, or radiating arm/leg pain, we can help. Your spine must be flexible, strong, and healthy in order for you to maintain a pain-free body. We ensure that you’ll achieve the best results for your back/neck pain with the South Toledo Physical Therapy spine program. CERVICAL SPINE Injury in the upper spine can often cause pain and tightness in the neck and shoulders, radiating symptoms into the arms and hands, and headaches. This area contributes greatly to overall body balance and the ability of an individual tomove their head and neck freely. Conditions involving the upper spine often present as limited motion and can contribute to a forward head posture. As a result, this increases strain on the neck which can causemuscle pain and tension and other associated side-effects. THORACIC SPINE Injury to the mid spine can cause limitedmotion andmid-back pain. The mid spine is responsible for the overall stability of the upper body and dysfunction in this area can make upright posture difficult. In addition, limited motion here can also increase the amount of strain on the upper and lower spine. LUMBAR SPINE Injury to the lower spine is amain cause of lowback and radiating leg pain. This is also a common area for disc herniation, which can cause pain, numbness, and tingling into the buttocks, thighs, legs or feet. Limited mobility and/or pain this area can also make turning, bending, and walking very difficult. “ Why Am I Suffering FromBack Pain?” 3 Common SPINE ProblemAreas
