Why Rehabilitative Exercises
The spine can become misaligned or develop motion restriction but the muscles are what move the joints through the ranges of motion. Quite often muscles are involved in causing spinal restrictions or malpositioned segments. Without treating and correcting muscle function, it would continually cause your spinal joint restrictions to return.
Many of our problems come from poor work postures, bad sleep positions, and over use issues. Through a combination of stretching and strengthening muscles we can take the stress off the spine helping it maintain proper spinal movement after spinal manipulation.
Benefits of Rehabilitative Exercise
Ideally rehabilitative exercise help patients reduce the overall number of office visits they need and the number of reoccurrences. In some cases they are also needed to stabilize and area thus reducing the pain generated from abnormal movement.
