Your Home Can Get You

By Tom Herrin

It is often stated that the largest number of accidents occur in, or near, the home.  Back injuries are no exception.  A slight spill can cause a painful slip, or an item of clothing or something left unattended can cause a trip.  When these things happen, they often catch people off guard.  That means that they are not prepared and unable to catch themselves in time.  As they hit the floor or some other thing, an injury may occur in which the spine is jarred.  What may seem like a minor accident may end up in big pain.  It can nag and make life miserable.  If one of these accidents ends up wrecking your back, the next move to make is a quick trip to a chiropractor.

How Does Such a Small Incident Create Such Big Pain?

The spine is a critical part of the body.  It is somewhat of a center for virtually all movement.  When it is injured, a joint dysfunction may occur in which pressure is placed on a nerve.  This can end causing pain.  If this is the true nature of the injury, it is unlikely to go away on its own or as a result of taking pain medications.  Until the joint is restored to its proper position, the pain may well last.

Chiropractors Can Relieve Back Pain

When people visit a chiropractor, they will usually be given an adjustment in which the spine is gently manipulated so that it returns to its optimal position.  This can relieve the pressure and the pain.  Since this is all natural, no pain medications are used, and there is no risk of addiction or side effects.  Recovery may be faster and a return to daily activities may happen sooner.  Many times, the chiropractor will suggest some exercises that can help to strengthen the muscles that support the injured joint.  

Regular Visits Can Be a Part of a Healthy Lifestyle

Once people experience that relief that a chiropractor can provide, they usually find it refreshing.  At The Joint Chiropractic, they have plans that can meet all kinds of needs.  No insurance is required, no appointments are necessary.  They are open days and evenings, weekdays and weekends at all of their more than 475 locations nationwide.  If falls around your house cause you back pain, drop in at The Joint Chiropractic today and get back to enjoying life.
