Incorporating More Movement Into You Day for Better Back Health

If you're struggling with any sort of pain or discomfort in your back, the last thing you probably want to do is think about moving around, let alone hitting the gym or going for a morning jog. As counterintuitive as it may sound, it turns out that getting plenty of physical movement while recovering from a bout of back pain is crucial toward helping you recover and get relief faster. While no one is suggesting you start taking up daily five-mile runs while nursing a hurting back, you simply want to make sure your muscles don't become stiff and sore from a lack of activity. 

How Does Movement Improve Back Pain?

The main thing to keep in mind about staying physically active is that it serves to increase blood flow throughout the body, especially to the affected area of your back. Increased blood flow can reduce inflammation and ease muscle tension in the surrounding area. 

The Best Exercises When Recovering From Back Pain

Rely on gentle, low-impact exercise moves and routines for the most beneficial workout sessions. The simplest thing you can do for your body is to take walks on a daily basis. Just spending 15 minutes strolling outside is a great way to get your blood flowing, not to mention walks have been shown to decrease stress, improve cardiovascular health, and reduce your chances of gaining weight. 

When you're ready to kick things up a notch, go for a swim or try indoor cycling. Swimming provides natural resistance, which is great for conditioning and toning your muscles in a safe and healthy manner. Cycling indoors allows you to have complete control over the pace and length of the exercise, so you won't ever have to worry about straining yourself. Also, there are no cars.

Finally, you may want to consider seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis for improved back health. Join the many people who have found a safe and effective way to experience relief from their back pain by trying out The Joint Chiropractic services. Using manual manipulation techniques, a licensed chiropractor can use natural methods to ease muscle tension and improve circulation of the blood. If you're worried about insurance policy issues, keep in mind that The Joint offers walk-in service without having to deal with the hassle of insurance. This will help keep you feeling free of stress, knowing you're placing your health in good hands. And when we say drop in, we mean it: The Joint doesn't do appointments.
