Unlocking Lasting Relief: Essential Exercise Tip After Steroid Injections for Neck, Back, Nerve Pain
If you are one of the many busy moms juggling the demands of work and family while battling chronic neck, back, or nerve pain, you understand the importance of finding effective, long-term solutions. Steroid injections offer a reprieve from the relentless pain and discomfort, providing months of relief. But there is one essential exercise tip that can help you to get the most out of your steroid injection. Whether you are dealing with a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, arthritis, or sciatica, this essential exercise tip could be the key to reclaiming your life from the grips of chronic pain. In this blog lets discuss the essential exercise tip to get the maximum pain relief from your steroid injection.

Injections are used to treat a wide variety of conditions in the body such as back pain, neck pain, nerve pain, tennis elbow, heel spurs, etc. The steroid injections are used mainly for their anti inflammatory properties. When the inflammation in your neck, back and nerves decreases the pain also reduces. 

Watch this video to learn more about using Steroid Injections for back and nerve pain relief. The content discussed here is also applicable for neck pain relief. 


You may be concerned about getting a steroid injection as repeated use of steroid injections can lead to muscle tears. But those are not caused by a one off injection. Anyways, most doctors will not advise more than two or three injections in a year. This of course can vary as per the condition and doctors discretion.

The pain relief from a steroid injection is short lived and can last for a few months but it can also vary from person to person or from one area of the body to another in the same person. Most people stop all exercises and taking all precautions when the pain decreases almost dramatically. On the contrary, don't fall into the common trap of neglecting your exercise regimen once the pain subsides. This pivotal period of reduced pain is a golden opportunity to implement targeted exercises. These can be discussed with your doctor and physical therapist even before you get the injection. These exercises can include strengthening the spinal and core muscles along with working on the muscular imbalances and rehabilitation for the nerve pain. When the pain relief starts to wear off, your spine and nerves will be better prepared for it and thus your body can deal with it better then. Whether you're grappling with a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, spinal degeneration, spinal arthritis or sciatica, this essential exercise tip could be the key to reclaiming your life from the grips of chronic pain. 

Whether you get an injection for neck, back or nerve pain, you need to address the basic cause of your pain. For this you need to lower the inflammation in your spine and nerves.

MEET SWATI

 
Hi there! 
I am Swati, an Executive Mum Power Coach & Certified Posture Expert

I help mums of young kids working in high-stress executive jobs manage back, neck, and nerve pain, even with low energy, brain fog, and little time to spare. My proven system delivers real relief without stealing hours from your already packed day. The result? More productive professionals at work and guilt-free mums who can be fully present with their kids, instead of being sidelined by pain.



My passion comes from personal experience. I’ve been where you are: in pain, overwhelmed, and exhausted. After two pregnancies in three years, juggling my kids, housework, and a demanding job, I was stuck in a constant cycle of back and nerve pain. The physical load of motherhood added strain to my spine and joints. Meanwhile, adrenal fatigue left me drained, even after 10–12 hours of sleep.

Everyday tasks became a struggle. I was forgetful, foggy, and low on energy. Even as a trained physiotherapist and posture expert, I couldn’t escape my own pain. I stood all day at work, spent evenings on the laptop, rocked my kids to sleep, sat through endless meetings, traveled frequently ... I’ve been through it all.

I kept my pain hidden at work, afraid to speak up. I felt like a fraud, someone who coached others on relief strategies but couldn’t find relief herself. I loved my job and my children, but I couldn’t give 100% to either. Pain was holding me back.

One New Year, I made a resolution: to get healthy, not just fix pain, fatigue, or weight. I focused on reducing inflammation, healing my adrenal fatigue, and reclaiming my energy. Slowly but surely, the pain faded. I lost weight, my brain fog cleared, and my energy skyrocketed. Today, my pain is nearly gone. I feel stronger, clearer, and more in control than I have in years.
And now, I want that for you.

I combine professional expertise with lived experience to support other mums like me, those with young kids, high-stress jobs, and no time for complicated health programs. I’ve helped hundreds of women reduce spinal and joint pain, lift their energy, and clear the mental fog that holds them back.

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. I’ve been there. I got you, mommy!

Let’s get you feeling strong, confident, and fully present at work and at home.
Are you ready to start? Curious about how this works? Just ask.

Let's DO THIS!
xx Swati
