Understanding Orthopedic Treatments

Hey everyone, my name is Belinda. When I was a young girl, I injured the muscles in my legs performing complex gymnastic moves. I was under the care of an orthopedist for several months during the recovery period. I had to complete a number of strengthening exercises to regain my range of motion and mobility. The orthopedist performed regular examinations to determine if the given treatment was working. I will use this site to talk about different orthopedic treatments. I hope you will visit my site often to learn about this fascinating subject.

Improper Wheelchair Posture Can Cause Back Pain

If you use a wheelchair, poor postural alignment may be responsible for causing your back, neck, and shoulder pain. Although the purpose of your wheelchair is to provide mobility, a wheelchair can also help stabilize weak torso muscles to keep you upright when you sit. As a result, using proper posture when you are sitting in your wheelchair can prevent unnecessary backaches and muscle pain. Why You Feel Pain Generally, people tend to slump back and slide themselves forward in a wheelchair in an effort to feel more stable.
