Do you go to the dentist every 6 months for a checkup, even if you aren't experiencing tooth pain? Going to the dentist for a cleaning is a preventative measure to ensure the health of your teeth, gums, tongue, and more. Then why do people not take preventative measure when it comes to their musculoskeletal system? Our team at Tennessee Back Pain Center thinks it is important to analyze how you are moving in order to prevent pain, prevent injury, and enhance your daily movement. 

Healthcare is currently called healthcare, but it should be called sick care because you don't go unless you are sick. The definition of healthcare should be, "what you do on a daily basis to take care of yourself." So our goal is to teach and promote self-care so you can care for your own health.

Through a movement screen, we analyze how you are moving through range of motion assessments, checking for full range of motion, asymmetries from side to side, and easy of movement. We will have you go through certain motions like deep squat or single leg stance to ensure that activities that occur each day are not troublesome. We will check for curvature of your spine, especially in the growing population to help identify and treat early on conditions like scoliosis. We will analyze the integrity of your nervous system to make sure the communication between your brain, your motor system, and your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints is well maintained. Finally, we will give you tips and tricks to help enhance your movement and stability so you can continue to do the things you love. Take the preventative measures today to avoid pain and stay in the game.
