At 'Five, Six,' How Many Sticks Can Cause Back Pain?

By Tom Herrin

When people have a raised level of awareness about what can cause them injury, they often try a little harder to avoid it.  After all, no one wants to hurt.  The fact is that even the best prepared of people can sustain injuries without realizing they are at risk.  Almost everyone knows that lifting something that is heavy is a risk, so many will simply lift small things in multiple trips to try to even out the load.  This can be a good strategy until they overdo the small trips.  Those multiple efforts can add up to something much bigger.  If you end up with back pain after spending a long period of time picking up small loads, a visit to a chiropractor may help to make life more bearable.

Where the Back Fits In

When people do something that requires a considerable amount of bending over and picking something up, it can overwork the muscles that support the spine.  When this happens, the muscles may become strained.  A joint dysfunction can occur in which pressure is placed on a nerve.  This can cause pain.  When this occurs, it may seem that there is no letting up.  What may begin as a minor pain can turn into a lot of misery in a short period of time.  Using pain medication may only mask the problem.

Chiropractors Can Put Things Together Again

When people go to a chiropractor with back pain, they can expect to be give an adjustment in which the spine is gently manipulated so that the injured joint is restored to its normal position.  This can take the pressure off of the nerve and relieve the pain.  This can be a great feeling of relief.  Since it is all done naturally, no pain medications are used.  There is no risk of addiction or side effects.  Many times, a chiropractor will suggest some exercises that can help to strengthen the muscles that are intended to provide support for the injured joint.
