Banish Back Pain with Chiropractic

By Debra Rodzinak

The most common complaint that chiropractors hear is back pain.  A highly skilled chiropractor applies gentle pressure to relieve pain and discomfort for those who suffer from back pain related to the spine and nervous system.  When a spine is properly aligned, the body is better able to heal itself and work as intended.  Once the back is working properly, there are several steps a person can take to ensure that their back stays healthy and pain-free.

Continued Back Care After Chiropractic

Some steps a person can take to keep their back in good shape include:

  • Exercise on a regular basis
  • Good posture
  • Proper lifting techniques
  • Supportive chair with a lumbar feature
  • Lose weight if overweight

Ergonomics

Many business equipment companies are developing more and more ergonomic office chairs and desk features.  An adjustable workstation that allows a person to stand up while continuing to work for 15 minutes out of every hour helps those who have to sit for prolonged periods of time.

Ergonomic chairs with lower lumbar support features provide stability for the lower back.  A simple adjustment to an office chair may be all that is needed to allow for a 90-degree angle to be formed by the legs to the floor and the arms to the desk surface.

Some people use a fitness ball which constantly challenges the abdominal muscles.  Proponents argue that a strong core better supports the back, while opponents claim that prolonged balancing for hours may lead to discomfort of the back.

Acupuncture

Many people claim that acupuncture has helped their lower back pain, but the scientific community is mixed in its support for the effectiveness of acupuncture.  Experts are unsure whether the placement of the needles or a placebo effect is the reason for pain relief.
