Bumpy Roads and Back Pain? Try Chiropractic Care
By Stephen R. Farris
If your town is like my town, I'm sure there are many complaints to local officials about the condition of most streets and roads. Some of them can be so treacherous to ride on that they can literally cause damage to your car.
But that's not the only damage that can happen on those city streets. Not all vehicles are alike in the fact that seating offers lumbar support, so it's not uncommon for drivers to grab at their lower back when exiting their vehicle, wrenching from the pain.
Most older model pickup trucks are even worse, due to the roughness of their suspension. Back pain can be elevated even more with all of the jarring going on while driving potholed paved streets, dirt roads, and even out in the pasture tending to cattle or checking on a newly planted field of corn.
And if you're into dirt bikes, well, that can be a whole different kind of animal when it comes to back pain.
Whatever the case may be, if you find yourself experiencing lower back pain or back pain in general from riding in your vehicle multiple hours during the day, it might be time to consult with your local chiropractor, such as the ones found at The Joint Chiropractic.
Any one of their licensed chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic can answer any questions you might have about chiropractic care. During your initial consultation, they'll ask specific questions concerning your pain, and suggest treatment options and for how long you may need them.
How does chiropractic care work for back pain? Your chiropractor (he/she) will perform a chiropractic adjustment to align your spine to make sure it's lined up properly. This is done with a gentle, all-natural, and noninvasive hands-on approach with no medication needed to help ease and heal your pain.
The benefits from receiving chiropractic adjustments are many, but here are a few that stand out the most when dealing with lower back pain issues.
- Reduction in pain and discomfort
- Improved range of motion
- More flexibility
- A decrease in inflammation
- An increase in muscle tone and strength
So the next time that pothole jars your back out of whack, visit the chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic. With more than 500 nationwide locations there's bound to be one near you, and remember, no appointment is needed and treatment options are available to fit your budget.
