 Spine
care program
Statistics show that nearly 8 out of 10 people will experience a back
disorder at some time in their life. Most are caused by a combination of
cumulative trauma, poor posture, faulty body mechanics, stressful living
and working habits, loss of flexibility and a general decline in
physical fitness.
The incidence of back pain can be significantly reduced through
correction and modification of these common causes of back pain and
injury. Successful treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis by a
physician. Treatment recommendations may include physical therapy.
