Back injuries often happen during everyday activities—lifting, bending, even sitting too long. These quick tips can help keep your spine safe and supported:

✅ Maintain Neutral Posture – Keep your spine aligned to reduce strain.
✅ Lift Smart – Bend at the knees and lift with your legs, not your back.
✅ Stretch Regularly – Loosen up before and after physical activity.
✅ Take Breaks – Give your body time to rest and reset.
✅ Engage Your Core – Strong core muscles help protect your back.

A few mindful adjustments can go a long way in preventing pain.

Spring cleaning shouldn't leave you sore for days.

Whether you're deep-cleaning closets or tackling garage projects, protecting your body is key to preventing unnecessary pain.

✔ Pace yourself – Break tasks into smaller chunks and take breaks.
✔ Lift smart – Use your legs, not your back, and avoid twisting.
✔Switch it up – Alternate between tasks to avoid overusing the same muscles.
✔ Use supportive tools – Knee pads, ergonomic mops, and long-handled dusters reduce strain.
✔ Stretch before and after – Gentle stretches can reduce tension and improve mobility.

A few mindful habits can go a long way in helping you stay pain-free while checking off your to-do list.

Living with chronic joint pain? Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) might be the solution you've been looking for.

This minimally invasive procedure uses radiofrequency energy to block pain signals from your joints, offering long-term relief. Whether you're dealing with arthritis, sciatica, or degenerative disc disease, RFA can provide lasting pain relief for 6-12 months—or even longer.

At PMIR, we specialize in using state-of-the-art treatments to help you regain your active, pain-free lifestyle. Over 70% of patients experience significant relief with RFA, often with longer-lasting results than injections or nerve blocks.

Don’t let joint pain control your life any longer. Schedule a consultation today and see if RFA is right for you!

The chest or shoulder pain could be more than just soreness.

While delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is common, persistent or sharp pain may signal overuse, tendon strain, or even nerve damage.

If discomfort lingers beyond 48 hours or worsens with movement, it’s time to get it checked out. Proper recovery strategies, load management, and form adjustments can help, but if pain keeps you from moving pain-free, PMIR is here to assess and guide your recovery with non-invasive treatments.
