Back and Neck Pain Stabilization Program

Commonly caused by poor posture and body mechanics, stressful living, working habits, loss of physical fitness, or accidents, neck and back pain are two of the leading causes of disability and time lost from work. In the acute stages of back disorder, patients tend to recover in a short period of time, approximately one to seven days. Sub acute back pain usually lasts from seven days to seven weeks, while chronic pain usually lasts more than three months. More than 85% of people with low back pain improve with minimal treatment. However, back problems are recurrent and progressive in nature.

At BenchMark, our goal is to break the cycle of recurrent neck and back pain through exercise, therapy and lifestyle change. We offer instruction in correct sleeping, sitting, and standing posture training, as well as proper body mechanics training for correct lifting, carrying, and reaching during everyday activities. We couple that with flexibility and strengthening exercises for the neck, lower back, legs, and abdominal muscles, and aerobic activity to help maintain a healthy weight. We also stress relaxation techniques to reduce emotional stress that can cause muscle tension, and modalities to reduce and manage acute pain.
