Preventative Spinecare
Preventative spinecare refers to any therapeutic management plan or self-care approach that seeks to help prevent spine disease, reduce the risk for injury, enhance spine health, or improve spine function. The approach often includes implementation of specific exercises and postural considerations to help reduce the risk for injury and inflammation.
Spine Performance Enhancement:
This type of spinecare
refers to the implementation of methods to enhance spine function beyond
normal. This usually involves an athletic/sports medicine approach with
conditioning/training of spinal tissues so that the spine can perform better
and accept greater demands without risk of injury. The primary difference
between this type of care and preventive spinecare is the level of performance
achieved. The type of training and lifestyle modification for performance
enhancement is typically more demanding than that required for the prevention
or treatment of back pain. Examples are pylometrics and cross-training.
