Dr. Petruccelli offers a variety of products and equipment to benefit
your back health and overall well being.
Sleep
Pillows and
mattresses have a significant impact on neck, back and hip pain. Our office always has a selection of Tempur-Pedic pillows available
including cervical, travel, and lumbar support. We can even provide you a sample to try. If you are interested in a new mattress,
we can order a Tempur-Pedic upon request.
Fitness
Simple stretches and basic exercise can go a long way to improving overall health
and well being. We offer exercise balls in multiple sizes, Therabands of varying resistances and BodyWedge 21 exercise ramps.
Assistance
Foam
rolls and Biofreeze can help relieve muscle tightness and soreness. Dr. Petruccelli can show you how to effectively use these items.
Orthotics
You
can choose between custom or prefabricated orthotics depending on your needs. A digital scan of your feet can assist the doctor in
determining if orthotics could assist in relieving back, hip or foot pain.
To ensure you are getting the correct support from your pillow, the American
Chiropractic Association
recommends the following.
Side
sleeper or back sleeper? Your pillow choice should take this into consideration.
Choose a pillow that is firm enough that the
material is not displaced by the weight of your head.
Replace your pillow every 3 - 5 years.
