Antara Senior Care | Holistic Senior Care Platform

Introduction

The majority of people deal with spinal problems because of poor posture. Our spine consists of 33 bones, known as vertebrae, that stack up with special discs between them. These discs let you move and bend freely. Problems with these spinal structures can lead to pain, numbness, & weakness in your arms and legs. The risk of spinal problems goes up with age, minimal exercise, demanding jobs, and extra weight. Back conditions like degenerative disc disease, slipped disc, and scoliosis can also substantially disrupt your daily routine. Right spine care depends on regular exercise and weight management to reduce back pain and boost your overall health. Sleep quality also affects your spine and posture. Patients recovering from spine surgery can also benefit from a meticulous, tailored spine care plan. This article explains how spine care specialists can help tackle these issues and bring relief to individuals with spinal conditions.

Type of Care Offered

Duration

We start spine care with a complete physical exam to find what's causing the pain. Our specialists then create individual treatment plans that match each patient's specific needs and conditions. The treatment journey has three main phases:

Initial Phase (1-4 weeks): Focuses on gentle exercises for circulation and mobility, including walking and stretching
Intermediate Phase (5-12 weeks): Emphasises strength development and flexibility through swimming, stationary biking, and supervised strength work
Advanced Phase (3-6 months): Gradually returns patients to pre-surgery activity levels with progressive rehabilitation

Intensity

Most patients need minimal physiotherapy beyond their first consultation. Some patients benefit from outpatient sessions or longer rehabilitation programmes. The length and intensity of treatment are determined by each patient's specific procedure and progress.
