Are you living with back pain? Do you notice your pain worsens when you have to stand for more than 10 minutes or when you have to walk long distances?
At FYZICAL Palm Beach County, our physical therapists are experts at helping our patients resolve their pain and get back to doing what they love!
The severity of back pain can range from minor dull aches to sharp stabbing pains. Pain that radiates from the spine to the buttocks and down the leg(s) may be a sign of sciatica. Understanding why you are having pain and what to do about it can be tricky.
Your Spine Does a Lot for your Body
it protects your spinal cord, allows you to breathe correctly, and it is what allows your body to move. Almost every function in your body is directly connected to the health of your spine. You may even wonder how to tell if your spine is healthy. When we think of health, we typically focus on nutrition, exercise, and heart health — but spine health is also essential. At FYZICAL, our therapists can help you resolve your pain and get your spine healthy again! Call today to schedule an appointment with one of our experts and rest assured that you’re in good hands in our clinic!
The Importance of Good Spine Health
Your spine is a complicated structure of bones, joints, muscles, discs, and nerves. It takes a delicate balance to make sure it is at its peak level of health and function. Back pain is often the result of a breakdown somewhere in the system and can be avoided by improving your spinal health.
To make sure your spine is at its optimum health, you must achieve the following:
- Good posture and spinal curves
- Strong trunk muscles (i.e., core, gluteus, and spinal muscles)
- Good joint and muscle mobility
- Good balance and coordination ability
- Good nutrition and rest at night
Of course, much like anything else, maintaining great spine health is easier said than done. Fortunately, our team of physical therapists knows how to make sure you understand what to do to keep it functioning at its peak level!
Our licensed physical therapists will conduct a physical evaluation to determine where the weakness is rooted and what muscles must be strengthened to correct it.
Contact our FYZICAL clinic today so we can help you LOVE YOUR LIFE!
