Read on to discover more and learn all about Neurosurgery & Spine Consultants commitment to helping our patients on their path to health and wellness once again.
Past Injuries
Past injuries may end up causing current spine pain. This is true of most injuries throughout the body. If you’ve experienced an injury in the past, and it either didn’t properly heal or was not properly treated with physical therapy; you may end up encountering issue slater on in life. If you’ve experienced injuries in the past and have ignored them over the years, don’t give up hope just yet. There are many forms of therapy and tools available for us here at Neurosurgery & Spine Consultants.
Repetitive Movements or Exercise
Repetitive movements such as swinging, jumping, running, etc… may cause issues to arise over time. The problem with repetitive movements in the same spot, in the same fashion, and within the same style of activity is it can possibly lead to wear and tear on the body in multiple areas. The area which can be prone to wear and tear over time is the spine, as it’s quite a sensitive area when not allowed to rest or recover from intense, physical exercise.
Work Life
If you work within an office environment or a physically demanding job, such as construction; you may find yourself experiencing back, neck, and spine pain. Life is all about balance and when we overexert ourselves by lifting heavy objects all day, we may end up developing some issues. When we sit all day in the same position and we choose not to stretch and perform mild exercises to keep our blood flowing and joints moving, we may also end up experiencing issues. Again, life is all about balancing both activity, and inactivity; and then meeting somewhere in the middle.
General Posture
The way you carry yourself and how you hold your posture can eventually wreak havoc on your neck., back, and spine if your form is improper. For this reason, it’s important to have the right guidance on how to stand up straight and confident to ensure your natural posture eventually becomes as close to “perfect” as you can have it. We’re happy to guide our patients on proper posture techniques via physical therapy sessions, posture correction devices, and more solutions to have you standing straighter and promoting an overall healthier neck, back, and spine.
Your Mattress
We all should be sleeping for at least eight hours per night to ensure we’re alert, aware, and ready to take on the following day. Eight hours per day is a third of your life. You’re spending a third of your life regenerating and replenishing your energy on a mattress of your choice. Why not choose a mattress which is going to provide you a nice baseline level of comfort and support? Your choice of mattress doesn’t have to be the most expensive choice out there, but you’ll at least want to look for a reputable brand and one which backs their quality guarantees.
Unhealthy Lifestyle
A generally unhealthy lifestyle can cause issues to arise anywhere within your body. Being sedentary, poor diet, chronic stress, consumption of alcohol and cigarettes; all of these things may lead to general deterioration of your health. If your health is deteriorating in general, you can expect your spine to follow suit as well. Make the right choices today, and you’ll thank yourself tomorrow.
Medical Conditions
Having medical conditions doesn’t help with your potential for experiencing spine pain at some time. With this being said, it’s important to address any and all medical conditions you may have, or currently have, to best position the end outcome to be in your favor. Sometimes, chronic medical conditions may be causing your spine pain to be worse. It truly depends on which medical conditions you have and how they affect your body. Every case is unique and we’ll work with you to determine if your medical condition(s) are a contributing factor and how we may be able to help you overcome your spine pain.
