Rehabbing After Back Pain Treatments
Posted on Aug 23, 2016 3:40pm PDT
There are many different types of spine surgery procedures. One person
undergoing spine surgery in Miami might have a fusion procedure, while
another person has a laminectomy.
Back pain can also be treated through nonsurgical means. However, what all these
different treatments have in common is that it’s important to go
through a period of physical rehabilitation afterward. A spine doctor
will likely recommend physical therapy, which can help patients manage
their pain and other symptoms. Physical therapy is effective in reducing
reliance on assistive devices, improving mobility, building strength,
and improving flexibility. Physical therapy can also help patients develop
better balance, posture, and range of motion.
One strategy a physical therapist might recommend is Pilates training.
The Pilates approach to exercise emphasizes deliberate movement, muscular
control, precise alignment, and proper breathing. Because of the approach
that Pilates takes toward exercise, patients who are rehabbing from back
pain treatment may be able to reduce their risk of injuring themselves
again in the future.
