Does Back Pain Hinder You at Work?

By Tom Herrin

When people think about back injuries, they often think about auto accidents or some kind of a problem at work.  The fact is that even those who don't have jobs that require a lot of labor can end up with injuries, the kind that go unnoticed for a time but show themselves after people have had a somewhat normal routine with no apparent incidents.  Simple things such as lifting only a few pounds or moving things around in an office -- things that would seem to have little weight -- may end up straining muscles due to the fact that they are not very conditioned to the activity.  If your everyday routine seems to send you looking for relief, a visit to a chiropractor may do just that.

Why Does Back Pain Come Out of Nowhere?

Someone may be rocking along with little clue they are about to have back pain when it hits.  While this is not always the case, it may be at times.  The spine is what supports much of the work that is performed by the body.  Its finely made parts are designed for pretty good movement.  In order for that movement to occur, there must be muscles that help it to do so.  When it is overworked, these muscles can become strained.  This can allow a joint to move in a way it should not.  This is a joint dysfunction.  When it happens, pressure can be placed on a nerve causing pain.  It may be sudden or slow in its development.

Chiropractors Can Put Things Back in Order

When people go to a chiropractor with back pain, they will likely be given an adjustment.  This is a way of gently manipulating the spine so that it is restored to its proper position.  This can take the pressure off of the nerve and relieve the pain.  Since it is all done naturally, no pain medications are used.  This means no risk of addiction or side effects.  A return to normal activities may happen sooner.

Regular Visits Can Support a Healthier Lifestyle

Once they have experienced the relief that a chiropractor can provide, many people want to make visits a part of their healthcare routine.  At The Joint Chiropractic, they have plans that can help make that a reality.  No insurance is required, no appointments are necessary.  They are open days and evenings, weekdays and weekends at all of their more than 450 locations nationwide.  If back pain suddenly gets in the way of your work, drop in at The Joint Chiropractic today and you"ll be whistling while you work tomorrow.
