Can Lounging Around Cause Pain?
By Tom Herrin
Everyone appreciates those days off. It is particularly enjoyable when you have been working a pretty tough schedule, stayed busy with kids activities, and been tapped for every volunteer group that gets you in their sights. When that day off comes, you are ready to sit back, relax and just do a lot of nothing. Then out of the blue comes the kicker. You slip or make a wrong turn doing something and you wonder what in the world you did to deserve this. Often injuries come when we least expect them. We call these accidents. When this pain hits your back, don’t wait. Now is the time to see a chiropractor.
Injuries At Home Are Common
Unfortunately we sometimes feel that when we are at home, we are off duty and on official break. It is a time when we are relaxing and maybe not as careful about what we do. After all, we are in very familiar surroundings and feel like we know our home from from top to bottom. But that item out of place or that spot we suddenly slip catches us by complete surprise. For older people, a large number of serious injuries happen at home. We are just not as physically prepared, and it costs us.
What Happens
One of the biggest things we all experience is that sudden jerk where we flinch and have some kind of sharp pain as a result. Many times, a sudden move creates uneven muscle tension, placing pressure on a joint that is used to being supported. Sometimes we experience a fall where a joint is literally separated from its correct place. The result is pain from pressure on nerves. Some injuries are even caused by the fact that we already have a restriction that has reduced our function in a particular area. Either way, a chiropractor is notably the most effective form of treatment.
