Why Exercise is Good for the Back

By Genevieve Cunningham

Keeping your back healthy is incredibly important. Though we often forget about this part of our bodies unless there’s a problem or pain, our backs play numerous roles in our lives. They hold us upright, give us stability, and hold our spines … which brings a whole new world of functions and responsibilities. The bottom line is that protecting your back from harm, injury, or illness is a priority to take seriously. If you need help getting started, check out how exercise may help keep your back in tip-top shape and leave you feeling better than ever.

It Boosts Strength

Exercise boosts strength all over your body, and this includes the back. Your back needs to be strong because of all of the demands that we require of it. We use it for everything … standing, sitting, moving, working. We need that strength in order to complete our daily tasks as well as protect it from injury. Pick an exercise that you enjoy, perform it regularly, and you may find the health and strength of your back improve consistently.

It Keeps Your Weight Down

Extra weight is really hard on your back. It places excess pressure and tension, and can even lead to injury and chronic pain. Exercise is a great tool for maintaining your weight and losing pounds when necessary. For the best results, complete a mix of both cardio and weights, as this combination brings the most benefit and the highest level of positive change to your body.

Other Steps for Wellness: Chiropractic Care

While exercise is crucial for back health, so too is getting to the chiropractor regularly. Chiropractors keep the spine properly aligned, which then alleviates pain and discomfort and boosts overall spinal health. These misalignments can cause a whole host of negative side effects, so correcting them is a great way to keep both your back and your body healthy. Those who get care on a regular basis also report other benefits such as a reduction in headaches, improved flexibility, greater sense of well-being, and many others.
