The Biggest Wreck on a Commute May Be the Back

By Tom Herrin

When anyone is faced with the issue of driving to work each day for a number of miles, it can be a pretty tough ride.  Between rough roads and lots of stopping and starting, a person may be bounced around for much of that trip.  While the body is well-designed for shock and wear, it still has a limit.  If your drive seems to break down your back, a visit to a chiropractor may have you feeling like you're gliding on water.

The Back Takes on All Comers

When people get jostled around in a miserable commute, their backs must take a good bit of abuse.  Even though the back is designed for a good deal of work, it has its limits.  This may strain the muscles that support it, and fail to do the job they were designed for.  When this happens, a joint dysfunction may occur in which pressure is placed on a nerve, causing pain.  While it is sometimes minor, at other times it can haunt any efforts to find a reprieve.  Pain medication may offer little help as the problem will likely still remain.

Chiropractors Are Good at What They Do

When it comes to treating back pain, chiropractors are widely recognized as at the top of the list.  An individual is normally given an adjustment in which the spine is gently manipulated so that the injured joint is restored to its optimal position.  This can take the pressure off of the nerve and relieve the pain.  Since this is all natural, no pain medication is used.  This means no risk of side effects or addiction.  It may mean a faster return to normal activities saving downtime.   The chiropractor may suggest some exercises that can help strengthen the muscles that support the injured joint.  For some, it can be the start of a healthy new lifestyle.   

Many Choose Regular Visits

After experiencing the relief that a chiropractor can provide, many people decide that regular visits are best for them.  At The Joint Chiropractic, they have plans that are budget-friendly.  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 coming and going to work ends up jumping on your back, drop in at The Joint Chiropractic today and get it off your back now.
