By Sandy Schroeder

When we consider how widespread back pain is, making the effort to keep the back healthy and happy seems like a much better choice.

If your back is healthy, and you would like to make sure it stays that way, you might consider stopping by The Joint Chiropractic clinic near you to pick up a few tips.

When you visit, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn how much you can do to enjoy a healthy back and better overall health. Your chiropractor believes a healthy spine may result in a healthier you.

Chiropractic Assistance

Bring your questions and your concerns and get to know your chiropractor. He or she will ask about any current pain, your normal routine and your medical history.

If a spinal adjustment seems to be beneficial, your chiropractor will do an adjustment on a comfortable table in an open bay area. Spinal adjustments are used to correct any dysfunctions and may result in pain relief in areas such as the neck, back, sciatic nerve or other joints.

Patients often note more benefits, such as new energy, more alertness and better metabolism.

Wellness is unique to the individual. As you experience your results, you may want to continue chiropractic visits to keep the momentum going. At the same time you can learn more ways to protect your back and maintain your health.

Here are some good ways to protect your back.

  • Maintain a healthy weight and avoid tobacco.
  • Learn all you can about good posture and practice it.
  • When sleeping, use a pillow under the knees and sleep on your back or side. Make sure you have a good mattress.
  • When using totes, divide the load into two bags, or use a backpack with padded double straps. Only carry what is needed.
  • Eat healthy and exercise with your doctor’s approval. Include stretching.
  • Wear shoes with good support and low heels. Avoid high heels and flip-flops.
  • Avoid overloaded purses or fat wallets that you sit on.
  • When you lift, use the legs to absorb the load. Never bend from the waist or twist while you are lifting. If something is too heavy, get help.
  • For desk jobs, get the chair that fits, and sit with your feet flat on the floor. Keep computer monitors and other screens at eye level.

As you continue to protect your back, the Joint Chiropractic clinic near you is always on hand, keeping the whole process simple. An affordable care program eliminates the need for insurance. Doors are open seven days a week and evening hours are available. No appointments are needed.
