A Trip May Be Murder on a Back
By Tom Herrin
Many times, we end up with injuries that we never expect. Of course, I guess that is what accidents are all about. The unknown has a way of getting to us when we least expect it. If you have always thought that back pain is the result of some kind of major accident, you may only be partially right. We often go about our day with little incident; then, when we least expect it, we may be taken by surprise. A small trip could be the beginning of a chain reaction that leads to back pain. If this happens to be the case for you, a visit to a chiropractor may have you back in good shape fast.
The Back Cushions Us
We have plenty of work for the back. It supports the head and keeps us upright. It also serves to cushion much of the shock that may be dealt to us. Even a small trip may cause the muscles to suddenly contract as they try to help our body to catch itself. The result can be that these muscles may become strained and fail to be able to provide the support needed. A joint dysfunction may occur in which pressure is placed on a nerve causing pain. It may be barely noticeable at first, but it may continue to grow into a major problem. All of your efforts to ease it may be of little use.
Chiropractors Can Treat the Source
When you go to a chiropractor with back pain, you will be given an adjustment in which the spine is gently manipulated so that the injured joint is restored to its proper position. This can take the pressure off the joint and relieve the pain. Since it is all done naturally, no pain medication is used. There is no risk of addiction or side effects. Natural healing may be faster. You may find that you are able to return to your normal, everyday activities sooner. For many, it is the beginning of a healthier new lifestyle.
