Lifting Kids May Be Hard on Backs

By Tom Herrin

It seems like almost everyone enjoys spending time with children.  The small ones can be especially entertaining.  They may do more to brighten the spirit than many other endeavors.  Keeping up with them may be a bit of a challenge for many.  They often move quickly and constantly.  Attempting to pick them up, or pull on them, amidst all of these burst of energy can inflict damage on a back.  If your love for children turns into a painful experience for your back, a visit to a chiropractor may put love and joy back together.

How Can Kids Cause Back Pain?

For those who share that love for kids, it is pretty difficult to imagine how they can cause any kind of pain at all.  The fact is that with all that the back must do, it has a big workload.  Even with small children that seem to weigh very little, they can be highly active.  Repeatedly lifting them, particularly as they are moving around, can cause the muscles that support the spine to have to be prepared.  Some of this movement can be more than those muscles can absorb.  They may end up being strained.  This may weaken them and cause them to fail in doing their job.  A joint dysfunction can occur in which pressure is placed on a nerve and cause pain.  It may seem minor at first, but may continue to worsen and become a major discomfort.

Chiropractors Recognize the Sources of Pain

When people go to a chiropractor with back pain, they will usually be given an adjustment.  With this, the spine is gently manipulated so that the injured joint is restored to its optimal position.  This can allow the pressure to be taken off of the nerve and the pain to cease.  It is a great feeling to have this natural treatment.  No pain medication is used, so there is no risk of addiction or side effects.  There is no masking of the pain meaning less chance of additional injury without realizing it.

Once many people experience the relief a chiropractor can provide, they want more.  At The Joint Chiropractic, they have plans that can fit most budgets.  No insurance is required, no appointments are necessary.  They are open days and evenings, weekdays and weekends at all of their more than 500 locations nationwide.  If your love for little ones ends up causing you back pain, drop in at The Joint Chiropractic today and add joy back into your relationship.
