4 Tips to Begin the New Year Pain-Free

By Virginia Laird

So you suffered with some back pain this year, huh? Wouldn’t it be nice to have this burden off your back? There is no reason to have the same pain in 2018. Lucky for you, chiropractors have offered several suggestions to help those who struggle to keep back pain at bay. Some of these helpful tips include:

  • Stretch daily
  • Get plenty of sleep
  • Make time to exercise
  • Visit the chiropractor routinely

Stretch Daily

If you are looking for a way to eliminate some of the pain in your life, daily stretching is a great place to begin. Chiropractors suggest this light aerobic activity to release tension and stress which can build up in the body, more specifically in the back. Daily stretching does not need to be sweat inducing. Simple, light stretches can do the job. Some of the stretches in a daily routine can include:

  • Toe touches
  • Shoulder shrugs
  • Neck rolls

Get Plenty of Sleep

Chiropractors suggest one great way to decrease back pain is to make sleep a priority. Getting enough sleep allows to body to rest and repair any damage that may have occurred throughout the day. Without enough sleep, both the brain and the body can suffer. It is recommended that the average adult should get a minimum of at least six hours of sleep each night.

Make Time to Exercise

Exercise may seem like just the opposite thing to do when trying to avoid back pain; however, exercise can help prevent pain. Chiropractors recommend patients exercise at least three to four times each week. This does not mean hitting the gym for hours, it can be as simple as a brisk walk. Exercise is another way to release stress which may be mounting in the body.

Visit the Chiropractor Routinely

Routine chiropractic visits are another great way to prevent and manage back pain. Chiropractors work to improve posture and keep the spine unrestricted. When the spine’s function is restored, pain is less likely to wreak havoc on your back. Chiropractic visits are safe and effective for people of all ages.

Chiropractors work with you to devise a personalized healthcare plan to help meet your health and wellness goals. To begin your path to a pain-free life, stop by The Joint Chiropractic in your community.
