Activity Modification Treatment for Orthopedic Pain in Canada

Activity modification is one all-too-frequently overlooked strategy that can significantly improve pain and function. Activity modification can often be as simple as avoiding the types of activities that are likely aggravating symptoms caused by your musculoskeletal problem. Unfortunately, many people are unaware of the types of activities that may be causing this aggravation.

 

Further, sometimes well-meaning treatment providers may endorse a “no pain, no gain” philosophy, and instruct patients to perform certain activities to “strengthen” the affected body area.

 

Without proper knowledge of the underlying problem and the associated aggravating activities, this can lead to a worsening of a patient’s symptoms. After thoroughly assessing your condition, Ortho South surgeons can often offer activity modification advice that is specific to your orthopaedic condition.
