Do You Have Neck Pain or Back Pain from Gardening? We Can Help.
Gardening is a relaxing and rewarding hobby, but it can take a physical toll on your body. Long hours spent bending over, lifting and moving heavy objects, and tending to plants can cause acute or chronic neck and back pain. At Kanter Physical Medicine & Rehab, our medical doctors and physical therapists can treat aches and pains and injuries from gardening. Here is a look at the benefits of visiting us for the treatment of neck pain and back pain in Richmond Hill, NY.
Collaborative Care for Faster Rehabilitation
Our medical doctors and physical therapists work together to create a collaborative care plan. By combining manual and physical therapy, we can accelerate your healing time and help you get back to your hobbies and normal routine much faster.
Reduced Reliance on Pain Medication
Our therapies focus on providing all-natural and drug-free pain relief. We can help you reduce or eliminate your reliance on prescription pain medication. When you continue to use prescription pain medication to treat gardening aches and pains, you may develop a reliance on it. This could lead to overuse or reduced efficacy of your medication. You may also experience uncomfortable side effects that prevent you from enjoying your hobbies, like fatigue, nausea, stomach issues, disorientation, and dizziness.
Improved Strength and Flexibility
Gardening requires some strength and flexibility in order to dig holes, move pots and soil, and operate equipment and tools. Aches and pains or an injury can make it harder to garden, and over time your injury may worsen and keep you out of the garden completely. Our physical and manual therapy programs will focus on building core strength and improving your balance, flexibility, coordination, and mobility. When you do return to gardening, you'll find you can do it longer without experiencing stiffness or discomfort.
