Raise Those Arms in the Air With Chiropractic Care
By Stephen R. Farris
When you work in a profession that requires repetitive movements involving your arms, back, and legs, it can leave you feeling tired and drained at the end of the day. But when you start to feel that twinge, or sharpness of pain start to set in, it can literally bring your work day to a halt.
While most of us either stand on our feet all day, or sit comfortably at a desk, others have to deal with lifting or extending with their arms. If continued for a lengthy period of time, this could lead to shoulder, elbow, wrist, neck, and even painful conditions in the upper and lower back.
Both workers and athletes are prone to injuries associated with these areas. If shrugged off, the pain could end up causing health problems such as tingling or numbness in the hands and fingers, rotator cuff problems, neck stiffness, or worse.
Most of the time when we feel pain in our bodies, our first thought is to grab whatever over-the-counter medication is nearby. But if the pain persists and the only way you know how to treat it is with medication, the likelihood of becoming addicted to the medicine you're taking increases.
Fortunately, there are natural alternatives to over-the-counter, or prescription medications, and that's with chiropractic care.
Chiropractic care is an all-natural, noninvasive, non-addictive, hands on approach to pain management. Chiropractic care, through a gentle adjustment process to the problem area where that's causing pain, has many benefits in providing relief.
- Reduction in pain and discomfort
- Improved range of motion (especially if your pain is located in the arms and shoulders)
- Decreased inflammation
- Increased flexibility
- An increase in muscle tone and strength
The only way to find out if chiropractic care is right for you is to visit your local chiropractor such as the ones that can be found at The Joint Chiropractic. The board certified chiropractors at The Joint can provide you with a consultation upon your first visit, and talk with you about treatment options available that won't put a strain on your budget.
No appointment is necessary. Just walk right in and get started to becoming more pain free and get back to the healthy, more vibrant and active lifestyle that you've enjoyed and deserve.
