“ Don’t Disappoint The Ones That Matter Most Over Aches & Pain.” 4 Simple Ways To Beat Aches & Pains
Are you like many people, suffering from aches and pains? A daily back or neck ache may be more of a nuisance than anything. However, episodes of pain can become progressively worse, lasting longer and traveling to other parts of your body. If you don’t stop the cycle of pain and discover the root cause of each painful episode, the accumulation of damage to your body may lead to eventual failure of the spinal structures and possible surgery. However, if you address and treat the cause of your pain early through physical therapy, drastic measures such as surgery can often be avoided.

“Pain Relief Guarantees More Time For Fun! ” 4 Simple Ways To Beat Aches & Pains
1. ICE & HEAT. For muscle pain from overuse or injury, rest that body part and take acetamino- phen or ibuprofen depending on what your doctor may advise you is best. Apply ice for the first 24 - 72 hours of an injury to reduce pain and inflammation. After that, heat often feels more soothing. 2. SLEEP. Be sure to get plenty of sleep and try to reduce stress. The amount of sleep is depen- dent on your body. Some people only require 7 hours, others 9. Also, make sure you have a good mattress and sleep on your side or back with pillow support for your legs. If you sleep on your side, put the pillow between your legs. If you sleep on your back, put the pillow behind your thighs. 3. EXERCISE. Regular exercise can help restore proper muscle tone. Walking, cycling and swim- ming are good aerobic activities to try. Be sure to warm up before exercising and cool down afterward. Our experts at Lonoke & ProMotion Physical Therapy teach you stretching, toning and aerobic exercises to feel better and stay pain-free. Drink lots of fluids. Begin slowly and
increase workouts gradually. Avoid high-impact aerobic activities and weight lifting when injured or while in pain. Consult one of our experts or your doctor before trying exercises you are unsure of doing. 4. PHYSICAL THERAPY. Through our program, specialized hands-on techniques and treatments are applied, addressing the poor alignment and dysfunction of the spine, which can irritate and cause pressure on nerves. Physical therapy is the science of restoring pain-free movement with exercises and hands-on techniques. These principles are applied to the body when an injury is sustained to help facilitate a great recovery. Why Do Your Muscles Ache? Muscle aches and pains are common, typically involving more than one muscle. Muscle pain can also involve ligaments, tendons, and other soft tissues that connect muscles, bones, and organs. Muscle pain is most frequently related to stress, tension, overuse, or muscle injury from exercise or physically-demanding work. In these situations, the pain tends to involve specific muscles and starts during or just after the activity. It is usually obvious
which posture or activity is causing the pain. Most aches and pains are temporary and generally last 1-3 days. However, once muscle pain begins to go past 3 days without changing, or you feel the same aches and pains repeatedly, it’s time to give us a call as there may be an underlying problem such as muscle imbalance, or stiff tissues and joints. The most common causes are: • Injury or trauma including sprains and strains • Overuse • Tension or stress Muscle pain may also be due to: • Certain drugs, including: -Medicine lowering blood pressure -Medicine lowering cholesterol • Infections • Cold & Influenza (flu) • Electrolyte imbalances, such as too little potassium or calcium • Fibromyalgia If you are suffering from aches and pains, call us today to learn more about how you can return to a pain-free active lifestyle!

“On November 27, 2016, I had a head-on collision. I was expected to pass away. The doctors told me I wasn’t supposed to make it through the night but I did. The injuries were intense. My pelvis was shattered, 9 ribs on my left side were broken (one of those had punctured my lung), nerve damage to my left shoulder and my diaphragm had been ripped open. I was on a ventilator. A month passed by and I came off the ventilator. Things slowly started looking up for me. I was moved from the ICU at UAMS to long-term care at Baptist December 14, 2016. January 19, 2017, I got to leave the hospital. I was starting to gain some movement back on my left side. Fast forward to when I started therapy. I came to ProMotion Physical Therapy on February 7, 2017 ready to start my road to recovery. I was in a wheelchair. Two weeks after starting my therapy I was doing so well I ditched my wheelchair. I was noticing things getting easier. I was able to get in and out of the car, I started driving, going to church, and grocery shopping. Everything was getting easier. I was gaining lots of energy back, too. About a month later I ditched my walker. Today, I am walking by myself with lots of strength and confidence. I’m starting back to work in about a week and a half. Hats off to the staff here at ProMotion PT.” - Scott B. I ditched my wheelchair!

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
Outstanding Results My walking has really improved! “Over the weekend, I was able to ride my riding lawn mower and four- wheeler. Before, the vibration would irritate my back, but now I am actually able to ride them both with no trouble. I can also tell my walking has really improved, my leg doesn’t sting or feel numb anymore either. I am not using a cane either.” - B.N. I have no problems rotating my neck! “About a month ago I could barely move. After four weeks of therapy I am now pain free! I have no problems rotating my neck. I really appreciate LPT for helping me and teaching me how to better myself. My daily tasks are no longer issues, traveling is no longer a pain anymore and I just feel better overall.” - R.B.
