Treatment Options for Back & Neck Problems
Unfortunately, once a person has experienced back or neck pain, it can easily recur later in life.
Many people may be surprised to learn that surgery is not usually the answer in helping correct this type of pain. Instead, treatment options often include:
- Pain medications
- Exercises to strengthen the abdominal and back muscles
- Heat and cold wraps
- Spinal manipulation
- Stress management
- Pain control methodologies
- Stretching exercises
- Proper posture training for sitting, standing and sleeping
If a back or neck injury has left a debilitating mark on your life, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) may be available to help you improve your quality of life.
Please contact our Virginia social security attorneys at Kalfus & Nachman PC today to get on the road to recovery. Call (855) 880-8163 or complete our online form for a free consultation.
Seeking SSDI Benefits for Back & Neck Problems
Dedicated Social Security Attorneys in Norfolk, Roanoke, Newport News, & Surrounding Areas
Nearly everyone, at some point in his or her life, will experience a form of back or neck pain. In fact, the Mayo Clinic has estimated that 4 out of 5 people will experience low back pain at least once in their lives. Usually the pain and discomfort is minor and will subside over time with proper rest and exercise. However, because the spine is the main component of the back and neck regions of the body, any injuries sustained in this area can affect a wide range of other normal body functions.
