Ways to Reduce Your Back Pain from Sitting.

Here we have some healthy ways to reduce, or even stop, back pain caused by too much sitting.

Take short breaks:
-It’s a good habit to get up and move about every thirty minutes.

Stretch:
Taking stretch breaks every hour or so is helpful. Stretching can loosen tight muscles and can give you an energy boost.

Use a stability ball:
A stability ball is another great idea to reduce back pain. Sitting on a balance ball helps to strengthen the core and improve posture, which can all help decrease pain in the lower back.

Optimize your workspace:
Try to make your workstation as friendly to your body as possible.

So now that you have the tools to help reduce low back pain, what are you going to do about it? What changes are you going to make? How do you want your back to feel? The choice is up to you.

Running Off The Quarantine Gains?

Beginning a running program can be a challenge to the body. Our muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons adapt to the stresses placed upon them, but when the load is greater than the body’s ability to adapt, injury occurs.

There are many risk factors associated with running related injuries such as, increased speed, mileage, change of terrain, and improper footwear.

Tendonopathies
- Hamstring, Achilles, Patellar. A low level pain that increases with running and returns to baseline within hours.
Low back pain

-Typically runners will present with non-specific low back pain due to poor form and alignment issues.

Plantar Fasciitis
– This is the third most common injury in runners caused by collagen degradation and overuse.

Iliotibial Band Syndrome
– This is the second most common injury in runners caused by repeated tissue strain deep to the lateral portion of the knee.

If you’re experiencing any pain or discomfort during or after your runs, be sure to contact our team for a consultation. To schedule an appointment with a Professional Pain and Injury Expert, visit us at https://primetherapy1.com/ or call at (800) 758-0097.

What do you think is causing your back pain?

Back pain is not something you want to ignore for long. One of the most common causes of pain among adults in the United States, back pain can develop for any number of endless reasons, and once it develops it doesn’t always go away all that easily.

When pain in the back lingers well beyond the time that an injury would traditionally take to heal it is called chronic pain, and chronic back pain is incredibly difficult to cope with.

The best way to determine what the pain you are experiencing in your back is with a Injury and Pain Experts. In many situations, our team will use a combination of a physical examination and imaging techniques to properly diagnose the cause of the pain, and then will work with you to develop a personalized program of treatment that addresses your particular issues with pain.

Does your desk job keep you sedentary?

Spending eight hours a day at a desk, two-three hours a day stuck in the car, somewhere between six to eight hours each evening in bed, and most likely a few hours a day on the couch or sitting at the table for a meal, how much of your day is actually spent engaging in physical activity?

Here are a few simple ways that you can start incorporating more activity into your workday:

✅Take a 5-minute break every hour to walk a lap around the office.
✅Try doing basic stretches at your desk.
✅Bring in a bit of small workout equipment to keep at your desk.
✅Swap out your traditional desk and desk chair for healthier alternatives, such as a standing desk, or an exercise/stability ball instead of a desk chair.

Should You Ice Your Injury?

The key principle is to get the ice on quickly. Icing is most effective in the immediate time period following an injury. The effect of icing diminishes significantly after about 48 hours.

Ice for 15-20 minutes, but never longer. You can cause further damage to the tissues by icing for too long.

Allow time between treatments. Allow the area to warm for at least 45 minutes or an hour before beginning the icing routine again. Repeating ice application can be helpful as inflammation and swelling can be prolonged processes.

Working with our Pain and Injury Experts can help to ensure you protect the injury appropriately, promote the healing response accurately, prevent further compensatory injuries.

Don't Ignore your Core!

A good understanding of how your core functions and why it should be trained is important for injury treatment and prevention.

Developing a healthy, fit core is one of the best ways to prevent and treat lower back pain.

Performing core exercises correctly is most important. From our experience, the fitness industry often misses the boat on helping people to train their core properly. Doing core exercise poorly not only inhibits the prevention of injury but it can also cause injury.

Lower back pain is the most common musculoskeletal complaint that we get at our clinic.

Our Experts can help you to consider your current fitness level, your desired activities and your own lifestyle factors to produce the right plan for you. To help improve your core stability and stay injury-free.

A 2008 study found that 1 in 15 cases of chronic pain can be attributed to sleep problems.

One of the biggest causes is something called long-term malpositioning. In short, your body is in the wrong position for too long.

Bad posture, poor workstation positioning, even sleeping on the wrong mattress and pillow can force your body into positions your back, hips, shoulders, neck, and head are not meant to be in.

The result is morning achiness, even if you have adequate sleep at night.

While it may seem strange to consult our pain and injury experts for aches and pains that may be caused by your mattress, their expertise may be just what you need. As experts in posture and movement, a physical therapist can assess your body’s position while you sleep and make recommendations on the type of mattress that best supports your body.

Experiencing Back Pain???

A herniated disc refers to an issue with one of the rubbery cushions that are in between the vertebrae.

Symptoms are dependent on where the disc is located and whether or not it’s compressing a nerve.

Typically, one side of the body is affected. You may experience arm or leg pain, tingling or numbness or weakness. If the herniated disc is located in the back, you’ll likely experience pain in the buttocks, thigh and calf.

Our treatment plays a critical role in recovery from a herniated disc. There are a variety of physical therapy techniques, including passive and active treatments.

All around, our experts can help you recover from a herniated disc and help prevent future injury to the spine. If you’re experiencing any symptoms of a herniated disc, it’s wise to see a doctor for an accurate diagnosis.
