Treatment for Lifting Injuries

It’s always good for your health to regularly hit up the gym or workout at home. By doing so, you can keep your body in good shape, which may lead to a longer, more active, and healthier life. That said, you may suffer a lifting injury while working out, or pull a muscle in your back, suffer neck stress, or experience an injury to your arms, legs, or elsewhere. If you do suffer an injury, it’s smart to visit Advanced Medical Solutions in Myrtle Beach, SC.

Our team of medical experts at Advanced Medical Solutions specialize in physical rehabilitation and treating lifting injuries.

How We Can Help

It’s very important to use proper form when lifting weights or other heavy objects. If you don’t use proper form, it could result in pulled muscles, slipped discs, pinched nerves, and could even throw your back out of alignment. If this happens, you may need medical care and physical therapy to realign your back and address other problems.

Lower back pain or neck pain are common results of injuries. However, this pain can occur from normal, every-day tasks. Repetitive motions or constant sitting or standing can cause aches and pains.

Good form and proper work ergonomics may reduce the risk of injuries. It is important to monitor how you are moving your body and to make sure you are not putting too much strain or stress on your body.

Pain medications can be used to temporarily mask these aches and pains. However, long-term healing often requires physical rehabilitation. Our physicians can help you heal through physical therapy. This includes stretching and strengthening exercises.

Through therapy, we can not only relieve your pain, but improve your body’s balance and range of motion. We also work to prevent future injuries or disabilities. Our professionals may recommend that you use heat and ice during the healing process, which can improve circulation in damaged muscles or tissues.
