Does that Bowling Ball Seem to Knock You Down?
By Tom Herrin
How long has it been since you went bowling? Maybe you are a regular, but I suspect there is a good chance you haven’t been in a long time. A lot of times when we do something we haven’t done in a while, we find that we all of a sudden have pain in places we don’t remember hurting. This may be because of a new activity we aren’t conditioned for, or it may be that we have a joint dysfunction that is causing a nerve irritation. The best course of action to take next is to see a chiropractor.
What Happens
Our bodies seem to work pretty well until we change activities. The sudden introduction of something new and different can be a little bit of shock to the body. Our muscles are used to working one way, then suddenly there is a new force. It is kind of like a strong east wind to trees that always bear wind from the west. The result in trees is usually damage. The result to our bodies is usually similar. We experience pain as a result. There is a sudden onset of a nagging pain that feels like it won’t let up. Just about everybody has had it at some time. That irritated nerve begins to give us fits.
Pain Relief
Far too many people seek pain medication for relief. After all, we see ads on television as well as on the internet and just about every other media form. The big problem with medication is it only masks the problem. There are some real horror stories about people who have become addicted to pain medication. The results can be devastating to our health. A chiropractor seeks to relieve pain through natural means. Most of the time your chiropractor will perform an adjustment that allows that joint to return to its normal function. Relief can be almost immediate in some cases. In others, it may take a few treatments since it may have been damaged for a while.
