Rehabilitation for Back and Neck Pain
Rehabilitation for Back and Neck Pain
A back and neck pain rehabilitation program is designed to meet the needs of the individual patient, depending upon the type and severity of the pain, injury, or disease. Active involvement of the patient and family is vital to the success of the program.
The goal of back and neck rehabilitation is to help the individual to return to the highest level of function and independence possible, while improving the overall quality of life - physically, emotionally, and socially. The focus of rehabilitation is on relieving pain and improving mobility (movement).
In order to help reach these goals, back and neck rehabilitation programs may include the following:
- Exercise programs to improve range of motion, increase muscle strength, improve flexibility and mobility, and increase endurance
- Help with obtaining assistive devices that promote independence
- Patient and family education and counseling
- Pain management techniques
- Smoking cessation counseling
- Gait (walking) and movement retraining
- Stress management
- Nutritional counseling
- Ergonomic assessments and work-related injury prevention programs
- Vocational counseling
