LIVE LIFE WITHOUT BACK PAIN
PATIENT SUCCESS SPOTLIGHT
Thank you Aspen Rehab!
For some, back pain is a daily occurrence that dictates the way you live your life. Every movement, every motion is determined by the pain in your back. Standing, sitting, laying down, driving, walking or running — the pain persists. In ages past, back pain was difficult to treat. If you experienced back pain, whether as a result of awork injury, trip-and-fall accident, or even just as a result of aging, the answer was almost always the same: head home, take
for long-term back care. Spending too much time on the couch or off your feet can cause the back muscles to weaken and can even weaken bone strength. This could lead to more long-term issues with back pain — not fewer. Exercise, in general, is shown to increase strength and flexibility, supporting healthy muscles and bones, and therefore supporting ideal back health.

things go anymore, and for several reasons. To start, the world isn’t as forgiving. Heading home and taking a long rest until your back is healed may work for some, but not for most. With deadlines and carpools and work schedules to keep up with, there needs to be an alternate solution to dealing with back pain that doesn’t require you to completely remove yourself from your responsibilities.
by your physician in the early days following an injury, it is not a long-termsolution. Physical therapy offers a long-term solution to back pain by using targeted exercises that focus on the cause of the pain. Through a combination of strength and flexibility training that focuses on muscle development and jointmovement, physical therapy can address the underlying cause of the pain and significantly improve your quality of life.

UNDERSTANDING THE WHY & HOW OF BACK PAIN
and effort, and when back pain is obstructing you from getting started, it requires help.
There are a lot of different reasons that back pain can develop. Evenwhenyou break down injuries,whether from overuse or athletic pursuits, there are different problems that can develop.

You might be amazed to discover the different factors that could be influencing your back health. Such as: • Your personal level of physical activity, including how often you exercise and the intensity of your typical workouts. • The types of shoes that you wear, in addition to how frequentlyyouwalk indifferent types of shoes, particularly shoes that lack support or those with high heels. • Prolonged engagement in sedentary behavior, including sitting at a desk for eight hours or more consecutive days of the week, or spending free time on the couch or otherwise relaxed. Aerobic activity and strength training exercises actually make it possible to reduceyour risk of injuryand to improve your ability to overcome back pain by strengthening the vertebrae and improving blood flow and nutrient disbursement throughout the back.When you are inactive, blood flow can actually become impeded, and this can have a negative effect on the overall health of your back and spine.
