Because each person’s genes and lifestyle influence their posture, it’s impossible to treat and fix pain without understanding the unique mechanics of the individual.

 

The spinal hygiene program focuses on understanding an individual's history and pain pattern, and then provides a tailored solution to that problem. We will inquire about your pain history from the start of the treatment.

 

Often during your 20s, 30s and 40s, you will experience severe back or neck pain at least once. Most of the time, the pain will go away by itself in two to three weeks with some ice, heat, pain patches, and medication.

 

You will feel better but perhaps deal with some occasional aching, discomfort or stiffness that remains. You should understand that your initial excruciating pain was the result of a disk tear or similar damage, and its remnants are there imposing a certain measure of discomfort.

 

These can be the signs that alert you to the potential of more severe conditions like a bulging or herniated disk, or a pinched nerve / sciatica. 

 

Once we understand what initially caused the pain, and the nature of your periodic discomfort, we will explain the steps you can take to reduce it. Strong posture, appropriate stretching, and correct exercise will be the foundation of the treatment.

 

Your posture when sitting, sleeping, and resting forms the basis of both the problem and the solution. These postures initiated the pain and, when you know what to do and what not to do, they will also help correct it. 

 

Patients frequently attempt the wrong stretches and exercises which ultimately worsen the problem. The spinal hygiene program is designed to address each component of the problem and correct them one by one.
