Exercise and Back Pain: 3 Tips Help Prevent the Pain

By Virginia Laird

When back pain decides to run amok through your workout, it can be difficult to continue and achieve the goal you had in mind. For millions across the nation this is a battle fought daily in gyms everywhere. Rather than allowing back pain to interrupt your workout, chiropractors suggest there are a few things you can do to help prevent such pain from stopping you in your tracks. These tips include:

  • Use good posture while exercising
  • Stretch prior to working out
  • Consider routine chiropractic care 

Use Good Posture While Exercising 

Chiropractors suggest that using good posture while exercising is one great way to deter back pain. These chiropractors admit that when you notice yourself using poor posture in the gym it may be wise to step away from your exercise for a moment. This can allow you to correct your posture before moving forward. They also suggest to stretch the back muscles to release any tension that may have built while using poor posture. It is necessary to know that making good posture a habit does not take place overnight. However, with practice and stretching, before you know it, good posture in the gym will be a habit for you and you will experience less back pain as you exercise.

Stretch Prior to Working Out

Chiropractors admit there is truth to the theory that stretching prior to working out can help prevent back pain. Research indicates that far too many forgo this simple task in an effort to jump-start their exercise. Some even admit that skipping their pre-workout stretching is a time saver. Still, stretching is necessary to prevent injuries throughout the body, including in the back. Chiropractors suggest that your stretches should include the legs and arms, but also the neck and back. Make sure you are allowing time to stretch prior to your workout each day.

Consider Routine Chiropractic Care

There is plenty of research to suggest that routine chiropractic care can help prevent and manage back pain. Although you may not be aware, the joints of the spine are constantly moving in and out of place. Much of the time this movement can lead to restriction, which can cause a great deal of pain. Chiropractors use small adjustments to those joints to help reduce such restriction, which can cause a great deal of pain. If you are ready to begin your routine chiropractic care, consider dropping by The Joint Chiropractic in your neighborhood. With more than 450 locations nationwide you are sure to find one nearby. And with no appointment necessary, getting started on your routine care is as simple as dropping by when you find the time.
