Having Neck, Back or Knee Pain? Chiropractic Can Help

By Sandy Schroeder

Pain may begin slowly and pick up speed. You may feel a pain in your neck, a stiffness in your knee, or an ache in your back. Getting a grip on that pain before it gets a grip on you can be crucial. Chiropractic can help you do that.

How Your Chiropractor Can Help

When you come in, your chiropractor will want to know where it hurts, what you do every day, and what your health history is. Your chiropractor will focus on your spinal health to help you achieve better overall health. The spine houses the central nervous system that controls everything that we do from the minute that we get up to that last stretch at night. When that network of brain-to-body communication works well, we usually do, too.

A gentle targeted spinal adjustment may bring far-reaching pain relief with an overall sense of wellness. Often individuals sleep better, enjoy more energy and think more clearly.

As you assess the results you may choose weekly 15-minute spinal adjustments to feel your best. At the same time, you and your chiropractor may work on other issues to help you and your family.

Correct that digital slouch - If everybody in your family hunches over their phone and keyboard, neck and back pain may soon follow. Take a good look at that slouch and straighten up, using a chair with good back and shoulder support, and keeping feet flat on the floor. Monitors and all other screens should be at eye level.

Move every day - Target 30 minutes in your schedule to walk, jog, run or work out. Find a comfortable spot in your daily routine and make it happen. If you miss that slot, add 15 minutes at lunch and another 15 minutes after work.

Send stress on its way - Our society triggers a lot of stress. If we don’t let go of that stress, anxiety and depression may be added to the mix. Do something that you enjoy to release the tension. Listen to jazz, dance in a class or with friends, take a yoga or tai chi class, or learn how to meditate. When you find the stress release button, hang onto it to enjoy life more.
