Manage Upper Back and Neck Strain...

Upper back and neck pain can stop you in your tracks, making it difficult to go about your typical day. The reasons behind this discomfort vary, but they all come down to how we hold ourselves while standing, moving, and most important of all sitting.

Causes of upper back and neck pain include:

✔️Improperly lifting something heavy
✔️Practicing poor posture
✔️Sports injury
✔️Being overweight
✔️Smoking

Our love of screens is also a likely culprit in upper back and neck pain. Sitting all day working on a computer screen, craning your neck to read the news on your phone on the way home, and slumping on the couch to watch several hours of television are great ways to throw your body out of alignment.

The Importance of Posture Breaks for Office Workers.

Many of us spend long periods of time working at a desk. If we do not sit properly, take regular breaks and adjust our furniture and equipment this can contribute to muscular and joint discomfort and pain.

✔️Sitting for long periods without adequate breaks or variety of work tasks may contribute to back pain.

✔️Headaches, neck ache, shoulder and arm pain can all be made worse
by the way people use computers.

✔️Using a keyboard or mouse can contribute to muscle fatigue, as well as aches and pains in shoulders, wrists and hands.

Research shows that taking frequent short breaks (micro-breaks) is more
effective in preventing aches and pains, than a single longer break in the middle of the day. It is important to remember that during these short breaks, you must move your body to maintain your blood circulation. Breaks as short as 20 seconds in length are better than no break at all.

Do you enjoy riding your bike?

Take the time to make sure your bike is fitted to your frame!

Bicycle-related pain and injuries are commonly associated with poor bike fit.

If you have pain related specifically to cycling, you might have a bike fit problem.

Bike Fit Basics:

Keep a controlled but relaxed grip of the handlebars.

Change your hand position on the handlebars frequently for upper body comfort.

When pedaling, your knee should be slightly bent at the bottom of the pedal stroke.

Avoid rocking your hips while pedaling.

If your are experiencing any pain while cycling give our team a call to help diagnose the emerging issue!

Over 45? Try These Exercises.

Aging brings with it wisdom and perspective, but it can also mean a slow decline of physical abilities. Strength, balance, and coordination can deteriorate if they are not being challenged and practiced each day.

Sidewalking:
Walking sideways "wakes up" the hip muscles on the sides of the pelvis, which are essential to support the knees, ankles, and spine. They also assist in keeping your balance when walking.

Shoulder blade squeezes:
Middle-aged and older people often have forward curved posture, usually as a result of simply not practicing proper upright posture. This posture can reduce how deeply we can inhale, and cause neck and back pain.

Front and back stepping:
Coordination and agility are important to athletes, but they are also essential for middle-aged and older adults. Loss of coordination and agility can occur with aging or inactivity, and can lead to an increased risk of falls and related injuries.

Tips to recover for exercise and prevent injury:

During exercise, the body undergoes a controlled amount of stress. Tissues in our bodies need this stress in order to improve their function and your performance. In fact, when you exercise, your muscles actually undergo “micro-trauma” due to the imposed demand of your activity.

The following tips can help you attain maximum benefit from your workout and reduce the risk of developing an injury.

Stretching:
The purpose of stretching is to maintain the flexibility of tissues that are tight or stiff from an activity or prolonged position.

Refueling (Hydration and Nutrition):
Refueling after a workout with a well-rounded set of carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats will help your body reap the most benefit from your hard effort. Water is also absolutely essential to overall health.

RICE:
RICE stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. If you find yourself having pain or swelling following exercise, particularly in a joint like your knee, ankle, or shoulder, you may consider using this four-part strategy to decrease inflammation and pain.

Tips to Avoid a Fall!

1. Maintain mobility and improve strength.
-Stay active by doing physical activities that you enjoy

2. Get a falls screening.
-Ask our Pain and Injury Experts about a falls screening.

3. Mind your medications.
-Many drugs can cause you to be dizzy, lose your balance, have blurry vision, and much more.

4. Eliminate hazards around your home.
-Look around your home with a friend or family member to identify anything that could cause you to trip or slip.

5. Improve home safety.
-Add a secure grab bar in the tub or shower and next to the toilet. A bar will give you sturdy support to hold on to when the floors or your feet are slippery.

Improve Quality of Life Through More Movement.

Regular physical activity is one of the most important things that you can do for your health.

Unfortunately, more than 80% of adults and adolescents do not get enough.

The good news is that you don’t have to spend hours at the gym or purchase expensive equipment to meet the recommended physical activity guidelines.

What’s important is to find leisure-time physical activities that you enjoy and do them regularly.

If pain or a condition limits your ability to participate in activities you enjoy, or you want to reduce your risk for chronic diseases, enhance your fitness, and prevent injuries, schedule a appointment with our Pain and Injury Team!

Poor Ankle Mobility affects Dorsiflexion.

Limitations in ankle mobility can cause quite a few functional and athletic limitations, but can be remedied with ankle mobility exercises.

In our experience, the most common reason people may have poor ankle mobility is a past surgery or injury.

This makes sense when dealing with big injuries, such as fractures, Achilles tendon ruptures, and ligament tears from acute sprains. Anything that requires a period of immobilization of the foot can obviously lead to a loss of ankle mobility.

But you don’t need to have a major injury or surgery, even mild injuries can lead to a loss of ankle mobility.

Several studies have been published that shown that limited dorsiflexion impacts many of our functional movement patterns, such as the squat, single-leg squat, lateral step down, and even landing from a jump.

Give our team a call at 951-684-2865 so that we can assess your ankle mobility and get you back on the right track.

Prepare Kids for the Demands of Playing a Sport!

Participation in sports offers tremendous social, emotional and physical benefits for children. As parents and coaches, there are simple things we can do to help reduce preventable injuries – so our kids can continue playing the games they love.

✅Before playing organized sports, make sure your child receives a pre-participation physical exam, or PPE, performed by a doctor, or a nurse practitioner or qualified clinician under the supervision of a physician. Whoever performs the exam, the same practices should be followed, including the need for a medical history.

✅In case of an emergency, provide your athlete's coaches with important information (phone numbers, doctor information and allergy information).

✅Meet with the coaches before the first practice to inform them of history with asthma or other medical conditions that require special attention.

Have you heard of your piriformis muscle? This muscle can be a big component in lower back pain.

The piriformis muscle is located deep in the hip, it is underneath your glute muscles and is responsible for rotating the hip.

In some cases the piriformis can become tight which can lead to limitations in hip and lumbar mobility.

Stretching the piriformis can improve function and decrease pain. Based on your current flexibility and pain symptoms reach out to our recovery experts and schedule an appointment!
