Is Bed Rest Good For Your Back Pain?
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. In our SPINE Program, our physical therapists put a plan together to ease you back into doing pain-free activities and we do this related to your individual health history, abilities, interest and availability. In addition to exercise, physical therapy utilizes a variety of gentle modalities such as ultrasound, electric stimulation, massage, and thermal therapy to help relieve muscular spasms. Physical therapy excels in the use of muscular strengthening exercises to build stability. Treatment through our SPINE Program, instead of lying in bed at home, will help relieve your pain faster. This means fewer repeat visits to your doctor with the same complaint.
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. 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.

When your foot hits the ground, your whole body feels the effect. Imagine in your car if your shock absorbers were worn out. You would feel every bump and jolt from the road. Your feet and legs are much the same way. The greater the impact of your step, the more impact it has on your body. When you run, your lower extremities absorb two to five times your body weight. This increased stress on your body can result in lower back pain. Poor mechanics of your feet and weakness in your legs can cause back pain. The feet play a major role in the comfort of your whole body. The old adage is often true, when your feet hurt, you hurt all over! As you walk, and your foot hits the ground, your heel swings from side to side. When moving properly, the foot is supposed to flatten and regain its arch during walking. If the heel is swinging too much, because of loose ligaments, the foot may flatten more than it should. In addition, if you have very stiff muscles and joints in the feet and lower leg, this can have the same result. If this happens, some of the joints further up the leg and even into your back are forced to support too much weight. The muscles then pull harder on these areas, making it more difficult for the tendons and ligaments to hold the bones and joints in place. This causes abnormal strain and results in inflammation and pain in these areas. It is important to consider the feet when determining the source of back pain. Fortunately, many of these problems can be improved by controlling foot and leg movement through proper physical therapy strengthening exercises. This can be done under the guidance and expertise of our physical therapists at Marketplace Physical Therapy &Wellness Center. Are Your Feet Causing Your Back Pain?
Back pain affects millions of Americans and for many it starts from the ground up. Ignoring how your feet affect the lower back can sometimes mean missing the source of back pain. When walking, the body must adjust to many forces, which affect both the feet and the spine.
