Physical therapy is extremely effective at treating neck and back pain. There are many methods available to relieve symptoms, such as hot/cold packs, massage therapy, and more. These techniques improve blood flow and restore circulation to the affected area, thereby reducing swelling and inflammation. If you’re feeling pain in your neck or back and have a sneaking suspicion that it’s a result of poor posture, have no fear. At Aspen Rehab, our physical therapists can help improve your posture, and alleviate your pain symptoms with these three steps: 1. Diagnosing your condition: We conduct thorough physical examination tests and look into your medical history to diagnose a herniated disc and rule out other conditions 2. Treating your condition: Your physical therapist’s treatment goals for your condition focus on relieving pain and inflammation in your neck or back, and alleviating compressed nerves. Your physical therapist might use various techniques including stretches, massages, joint mobilizations, therapeutic exercises, and modalities such as cold laser therapy and electrical stimulation. 3. Preventing your condition from recurring: Your therapist will also teach you how to improve your posture (dingdingding!) andbodymechanics, improve the strength and conditioning of your core, and enhance spinal health through healthy lifestyle changes, such as increasing physical activity and improving nutrition, to ensure that you don’t find yourself suffering again in the future from back or neck pain.
