Physical injury physician involvement

Previous trauma or certain medical conditions involving bones, joints, muscles, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels can also contribute to back-related disorders. Psychological factors, such as stress, may influence the reporting of injuries, pain thresholds, and even the speed or degree of healing. Physically fit individuals tend to have fewer and less severe injuries. Remember to consult with a physician or physical therapist about which aerobic, strength, and flexibility exercises to do. This is especially important for those individuals who have preexisting injuries or medical conditions.
