In this newsletter we are exploring the difference between Osteoporosis and Osteopenia

Preserving the health and strength of bones as individuals age is an important issue that is not overlooked in the medical community. However, statistics show that osteoporosis and osteopenia are major health problems. Both conditions are characterized by low bone density, or low bone mass, but osteoporosis occurs due to the progression of osteopenia.

People with osteoporosis or those who are at risk of developing this condition due to osteopenia often benefit from Physical Therapy

LIVE WELL

The Right Backpack Makes a Difference

Backpacks afford many individuals the convenience of carrying large loads without straining the back, if they are using the right type of backpack. An ergonomic backpack can help support the back, core, and leg muscles, but choosing a backpack that's the right fit and packing it properly also reduce the risk of unexpected issues, such as shoulder pain or lower back pain.

You may not realize it, but keeping your body fit now will help you reap the benefits of good health later on in life. If you need Physical Therapy assistance call FYZICAL Mechanicsburg in Mechanicsburg today for more info.

Exploring Neck and Cervical Spine Anatomy

The cervical spine, or the neck region, is made up of many bones, ligaments, muscles, and nerves that require extra care to avoid neck problems. Understanding the structure and mechanics of the neck can help you prevent unexpected injuries or properly address them if problems arise. Knowing the anatomy of the neck can also indicate when it is time to see a Physical Therapist.
