What do exercises have to do with relieving your pain
from a sore neck or back? Lots. Research in sports medicine and spine
care show that a key aspect of the recovery and rehabilitation process
involves exercise and movement.
Taking drugs to mask pain is a band-aid approach, and
over time, can have disastrous effects on internal organs. The best
long-term solution to orthopedic problems involves making the muscles,
ligaments, tendons and joints stronger, more flexible and resistant
to injury. That way, you are more resistant to future attacks of pain.
Exercise can play a role before surgery to correct a problem as well
as after surgery, as you re-strengthen the muscles, ligaments, tendons
and joints to make them more injury-resistant.
If you have pain related to neck or back problems, you
should first visit one of our specialists to determine the cause of
the pain. They will identify the best treatment for your problem, and
one of our therapists will be able to customize an exercise program
just for you. Your program may involve some of the exercises shown
in our exercise library section.
Some of the exercises shown can help relieve simple neck
and back pain. Other exercises can also be effective at strengthening
for injury prevention.
Remember, never do any exercise that causes increased
pain. Never do any exercise after an injury related to a traumatic
event, such as a fall or sports injury or any onset of pain that has
emerged suddenly. Consult one of our specialists first.
