What to Do When Your Back Backs Down
By Sandy Schroeder
Many of us have the attitude that if something is not broken, there is no need to fix it. Although that works for many situations, our backs really are different. Simply assuming your back is fine could put you in the company of millions of others with back pain. Paying a little more attention to your back’s needs might be a really good idea.
Back pain is one of the most widespread complaints in our country, and around the globe. Back pain can warn you with a few little twinges, or not. Endless hours before a computer screen, or some heavy lifting on the weekend, could change everything. Suddenly, real pain may dominate your life. Movement is iffy at best. Regular routines become impossible to maintain. And real worry about your back becomes a constant companion.
Chiropractic Rescue
If you or someone in your family faces back pain, seeing your local chiropractor at The Joint Chiropractic could be the answer you need now.
When you come in, the Joint chiropractors will explain how the health of your spine plays a real role in your overall health. The chiropractor will ask about your back pain, when it started, and how it impacts your life. He or she will also review your medical history.
The overall goal will be to seek pain relief for you without using pain medication or surgery.
A Spinal Adjustment
Using a spinal adjustment to fix any dysfunctions present in your spine may create far-reaching pain relief in your back. At the same time you may feel more relaxed, more energetic, and more focused.
As you assess your results, you and your chiropractor will want to consider an overall treatment plan, plus any additional issues that are present. In some cases, people with back pain may be carrying extra weight, be extremely stressed out, or working very long hours in fixed positions with bad posture.
Successful Smiles
Your chiropractor will help you chart a course that seeks to put you back in your regular routine. I have watched a couple of relatives go through this process. The look on their faces at the beginning, and at the end, after success had been reached was incredible. They went from scowls to smiles as they gratefully reclaimed their lives. In the middle, both lost weight, reduced work hours, and learned to let go of a lot of stress.
