Are you someone who pushes through those mysterious aches and pains that crop up occasionally? Do you just assume your lower back pain will get better on its own? While this can <\/em>work out, it\u2019s not a guarantee. If you\u2019re struggling with back pain, make an appointment with MMA Sports Rehab and seek the treatment you deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lower back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal ailments globally, with an estimated 80% of people experiencing it at some point. But just because it\u2019s a common experience doesn\u2019t mean it can\u2019t cause complications: around 23% of the world\u2019s population suffers from chronic back pain, pain that lingers for longer than three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that physical therapy can resolve most cases of back pain through techniques like manual therapy and therapeutic exercise \u2014 no surgery or dangerous pain medications required. Even better, our therapists can often help you improve your back strength and mobility so your back functions better than before your injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But to get to that point, you have to take the first step and make an appointment with the physical therapists at MMA Sports Rehab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need a little extra push? Keep reading to learn why you shouldn\u2019t ignore lower back pain.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Reasons to Seek Treatment for Lower Back Pain<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. It could get worse<\/strong>. People develop lower back pain for all kinds of reasons. If you suffered a sudden injury, your pain might indeed resolve on its own. But sudden injuries aren\u2019t the only cause of back pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people will develop back pain due to prolonged sitting, which can contribute to a weakening of the core muscles that stabilize the spine \u2014 and puts undue strain on your lower back. Your pain will never fully resolve until you work to strengthen those muscles and address those postural issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. It could indicate a serious underlying condition<\/strong>. Not all back pain results from an injury or poor posture. Certain medical conditions, such as spinal fractures, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis, can all cause back pain. If left untreated, your symptoms will get worse, and they might bring friends, such as restricted mobility or additional complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our team of physical therapists can help you determine the exact cause of back pain and suggest appropriate treatment methods. If you have developed a chronic condition, we can help you manage your symptoms and work with you to delay the disease\u2019s progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. You deserve a pain-free life.<\/strong> Back pain may be common, but it can also be debilitating. Intense, persistent pain can keep you from staying active, which only worsens your symptoms and delays healing. It\u2019s a vicious cycle that keeps you from fully enjoying your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than waiting for your pain to resolve, take a proactive approach with physical therapy. We\u2019ll give you the tools to build strength, improve your posture, and get moving \u2014 so you can experience lasting back pain relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Physical Therapy Help with Back Pain, Anyway?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to back pain, movement is definitely the best medicine. Research repeatedly shows that regular exercise can reduce back pain and keep it from occurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem is that exercise might feel like an impossibility when you’re in pain. That\u2019s why physical therapy is such an excellent treatment option: we make movement the center of our treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve decided to not <\/em>ignore your back pain, give MMA Sports Rehab a call. Here\u2019s what we\u2019ll do to help you find relief:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Quinoa Stuffed Peppers<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    \n

    Ingredients:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • 6 Bell peppers, medium<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 15 ounce can Black beans<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 cup Corn, frozen<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 2 Garlic cloves<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 Onion, small<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 15 ounce can Tomatoes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 2 cups Vegetable broth<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 cup Quinoa<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1\/2 tsp Salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1\/4 tsp Black pepper<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 tsp Paprika<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 tsp Cumin<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 tbsp Olive oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 cup Monterey jack cheese<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

      Directions:<\/h3>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Place the quinoa and vegetable broth in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower heat to a simmer, cover the saucepan with a lid and cook covered until all the liquid is absorbed, 15 minutes. Allow the quinoa to rest for about 5 minutes, without opening the lid, then fluff with a fork.<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F, and prepare the peppers by cutting them in half lengthwise and removing the seeds and membrane. Place the peppers in a baking dish cut side up, and pour water around the peppers \u2014 just enough to cover the bottom of the pan.<\/li>\n
      3. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions and saute until they start to soften, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 more minute. Stir in the cooked quinoa, diced tomatoes, black beans and corn. Season with cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook for additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently.<\/li>\n
      4. Carefully spoon the mixture into the sliced peppers and sprinkle the cheese on top.<\/span><\/li>\n
      5. Bake uncovered until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted, about 30-35 minutes. Add optional toppings and serve hot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
