WEST ORANGE, N.J., April 13, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Almost any kind of exercise is healthy for the body, but when strenuous exercise is undertaken only sporadically with little preparation, then "watch your back," warns Kaliq Chang MD, an interventional pain specialist with Atlantic Spine Center. He says a certain level of fitness is needed to protect the spine and its corresponding parts from potentially life-altering trauma.
