Spinecare of the Pacific is in internal
medical facility specializing in restoring the function to your
back and neck. The program is proactive. Rather than prolonged therapy
with hot packs and ultrasound, we have developed a sports medicine
approach similar to those used to treat injured athletes.
Restoring spine strength, flexibility, aerobic and muscular endurance
are our goals. We teach you how to dynamically stabilize your spine
to help prevent future problems. You'll learn proper body mechanics
and lifting techniques and our office manager will guide you through
the haze of insurance billing. |
The Problem
Low back pain has been called the invisible problem. Your family,
your friends and your employer can't see any problem; yet bending,
twisting and lifting can cause excruciating pain.
Most physicians hesitate treating back pain patients because of
the time consuming and complicated problems of measuring the back
function, controlling the pain and dealing with frustrated patients,
family and employers.
The Focus
Finally, spine function can be measured and evaluated much like
an Electrocardiogram evaluates the heart. Computerized back machines
can measure your strength, your back mobility and your back endurance.
Usually, as the functions of the back approach normal levels, the
pain decreases. If you've had back pain for a prolonged period of
time, you've been burdened with fear, anxiety and frustration, causing
disillusionment with the medical system. Your haven't been "cured". |
