Medicare Open Enrollment is October 15 through December 7. That’s when seniors can switch coverage between Traditional Medicare & Medicare Advantage or change a prescription drug plan.

If you or a family member are exploring choices for Medicare coverage, research the differences between Traditional Medicare & Medicare Advantage, & the risks you may take when enrolling in or making a change to your healthcare coverage.

🌞Did you know?🌞 According to the American Physical Therapy Association Book of Body Maintenance Repair:

Major nerve roots branch off from the spinal cord and pass through openings in the vertebrae called the foramina. These nerves allow our muscles to contract and allow us to perceive sensations such as touch, temperature and pain. One of the most significant of these is the sciatic nerve-- actually made up of five nerve roots coming from the lumbar spine -- which runs all the way down the leg, from low back and through the buttock to just below the ankle. (Because of this, pain in the hip, buttock, and leg is sometimes the symptoms of a problem in the back.)

Fun Fact Monday: Did you know that 50–80% of adults will experience back pain at some point in their life — and around 40% deal with it in any given year? 🤯

Back pain is normal… but it doesn’t have to control your life. The natural history of back pain shows that it can be persistent, recurrent, and one of the leading causes of disability in the working population. In fact, the total costs of back pain are higher than for almost any other condition!

That’s why at Vestavia Spine and Rehabilitation, we focus on effective, evidence-based care (like the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy, cited from the McKenzie Institute) to help you get moving, stay moving, and feel your best. 💪✨
