A Workout Sans Back Pain? Here's How

By Virginia Laird

As back pain creeps into your exercise routine, it can be quite the struggle to battle through to its completion. As this pain interrupts your routine, it can be difficult to imagine exercise sans such pain. Although you think there is nothing that can be done to manage your pain, chiropractors say there is plenty you can do. A few chiropractic tips include:

  • Avoid overdoing it
  • Always stretch often 
  • Wear the right shoes
  • Check in with your chiropractor

Avoid Overdoing It

While it can be extremely tempting to make progress as quickly as you can, it is not necessary. Actually, chiropractors suggest that overdoing it can cause a great deal of pain and injury to the back. According to research, successful progress in the gym is achieved when you add slowly to your exercise routine. If you are unsure about how to and when to add to your routine, reach out to your local trainer for help. 

Stretch Often 

Although it can be tempting to skip the necessary step of stretching, it is essential. Chiropractors say that stretching well can help prevent unnecessary injury. It is advised that not only should you stretch before you exercise, but during (as needed) and after. Start today making this part of your workout a priority. 

Wear the Right Shoes 

The shoes you choose to wear can help prevent back pain. Chiropractors indicate that far too many choose to wear shoes that are old and extremely worn out. Shoes in poor condition can lead to back pain. Chiropractors say that your workout shoes should provide good support. If you are one who exercises often, it can be imperative that you retire your shoes every four to six months. Now, before you head out to hit the gym, make sure to double check your shoes. 

Check in With Your Chiropractor

Routine visits with your chiropractor can be key to exercise without back pain. Chiropractors use small adjustments to the vertebrae to relieve pain and restore function. This care can help keep you moving. If you are ready to commit to routine chiropractic care, stop by The Joint Chiropractic nearest you to get started.
