How Everyday Spine Care Can Provide Long-Term Pain Relief

What are the Common Causes of Back Pain?

Back pain can be one of the most debilitating conditions, affecting up to 80% of the population at some time in their life. However, many of these diagnoses are non-specific, meaning they don’t stem from a condition but rather a blend of factors. This lack of certainty means that not only do people suffer from back pain, but the exact cause may be difficult to identify. 

That said, the source of back pain is most commonly from the spine itself or the tissues surrounding the spine. Often, back pain originates from an injury or irritation of the muscles, joints (including the intervertebral discs and facet joints), nerves, or surrounding ligaments, as well as other soft tissues. 

The most common factors associated with back pain are:

Our therapists will assess your particular condition to identify the contributing factors and address all of them. Rather than focusing on one cause of your pain, your therapist will address all of the causes.

More About Our Root-Cause Approach to Back Pain

Your treatment begins with a detailed one-on-one evaluation. We’ll look beyond where the pain is felt to understand why it started. This includes how you move, how your muscles work together, and how your spine responds to daily stress. From there, we’ll create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs, blending hands-on care, movement retraining, and other targeted techniques.

iMove PT SWMO Emphasizes Access to Neurological Physical Therapy Through Mobile Care

iMove PT SWMO provides comprehensive neurological physical therapy through a one-on-one care model, where one physical therapist works with one patient in the patient’s home or location of choice. Neurological rehabilitation often involves complex conditions that require specialized clinical training and a commitment to treating patients whose needs extend beyond traditional orthopedic care.

iMove PT SWMO routinely treats individuals with diagnoses such as stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurological conditions. These patients commonly experience impairments in mobility, balance, coordination, and functional independence, requiring individualized and skilled therapy interventions.

In addition, iMove PT SWMO operates as a mobile physical therapy provider, delivering care in the patient’s preferred environment, including private homes and residential settings. This model helps eliminate transportation barriers—which can be particularly challenging for individuals with neurological conditions—and allows therapy to take place in the environments where patients live and function daily.

If you are experiencing impairments in mobility, balance, coordination, or functional independence, iMove PT SWMO may be the right physical therapy provider for you.

Recipe of the Month: Yogurt Covered Strawberries

Ingredients:

• 12 strawberries
• 10 ounces vanilla Greek yogurt
• pink food coloring

Instructions:

1. Wash the strawberries and pat them dry. No moisture should remain on the berries before dipping them in the yogurt. Place a piece of parchment paper on a large plate or cutting board.
2. Place the yogurt in a small bowl and holding onto the green leaves, dip each strawberry into the yogurt. Swirl it around to cover the berry, leaving a little red at the top. Place each yogurt dipped strawberry on the parchment paper. When you have dipped all the strawberries, place them in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes. 
3. Dip the strawberries a second time in the yogurt. To get a gradient of pinks, dip 4 berries in the yogurt with no food coloring, then add a single drop of pink food coloring to the yogurt and stir it till combined. Dip four more berries in the yogurt. Then add another drop of food coloring to the yogurt and stir to combine. Dip the remaining four berries in the yogurt. 
4. Place the strawberries back in the freezer for 40 minutes to 1 hour. The frozen yogurt will begin melting when you remove the berries from the freezer, so only pull them out when you are ready to serve them.
