Do You Feel Like Your Back Does All the Yard Work?

By Tom Herrin

Most people have been told that they must use their legs rather than their backs when they do work.  It is pretty standard.  They assume that this is in reference to lifting and tugging on heavy objects.  When they get a little excited about making their homes' exterior appear more attractive, they may get a little carried away.  This enthusiasm may cause them to forget just how much work is involved as they try to maximize the time they have available to produce good results.  If your drive for curb appeal ends up with back pain for you, a visit to a chiropractor may have you enjoying the view, and the work, again in no time.

Why Do Pain and Joy Go Together?

Many times, when people get busy with a project, they lose track of time.  They may also forget that they have not done such work for a while.  That means they may not be physically prepared for it.  When they begin work with their hands, they often end up digging, raking, and pulling.  This can end up straining the muscles that support the back.  When this happens, those muscles may fail to provide the support intended.  A joint dysfunction may occur in which pressure is placed on a nerve.  This can cause pain.  There are times in which this pain is felt immediately, and there are times in which it seems to grow and become worse over time.

Chiropractors Can Relieve Pain

When people go to a chiropractor with back pain, they can expect to be given an adjustment in which the injured joint is gently manipulated so that it is restored to its optimal position.  This can take the pressure off of the nerve and relieve the pain.  Since this is done all naturally, no pain medications are used.  This means that there is no risk of side effects and no addictions.  It also may mean that they are able to return to their daily activities sooner.  This may save time and money.

Regular Visits Could Be Part of a Healthy Lifestyle Plan

Once people experience the relief that chiropractors can provide, they may well want to have more of it.  At The Joint Chiropractic, they have plans that can make these visits work for them.  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 that drive for curb appeal feels like a road over your back, drop in at The Joint Chiropractic today and enjoy the fruits of that labor.
