Every patient seen in the Spine Center will receive a postural analysis and education regarding their personal condition. Each patient will receive a “tool box” of information to take away with them in order to continue to care for their back after discharge.
Treatment Options:
Patient Education
Patient education is a critical component of treatment. It is essential for you to understand your condition so that you can use that information to help yourself in the recovery process. Patient education includes anatomy, body mechanics and return to functional activities.
Manual Therapy Techniques
Progressive Physical Therapy feels it is very important to use the most important tool we have to treat the spine – our hands. Manual techniques are used when necessary and appropriate for musculoskeletal problems to restore muscle balance and prepare the body for exercise.
Therapeutic Exercise
Exercise is the most important component to keeping your back healthy. Maintaining good posture and body mechanics and keeping on a regular exercise regime will keep your back healthy and strong and less likely to encounter injury.
