Chiropractic and Stretching Moves May Help Your Back
By Sandy Schroeder
Wherever you are with back pain, you need to know why it is occurring and what will be the most effective way to handle it. You may be having a few small painful twinges, or facing serious back pain that demands treatment. Or, you may simply want to avoid the whole back pain issue, finding ways to treat your back better.
Whatever your situation, your local chiropractor at The Joint Chiropractic is well qualified and equipped to help you find natural whole person, drug-free solutions, and ongoing preventive measures.
Welcome to the Wellness Center
The Joint’s licensed doctors of chiropractic staff a wellness center that revolves around spinal health. The spine encases the central nervous system, which provides the brain-to-body communication that runs the whole body. When everything is working well, we do, too.
As your chiropractor talks with you about your back, and evaluates your spinal health, a gentle, targeted spinal adjustment may be used to provide far-reaching pain relief, and an overall sense of well-being.
As you assess your results, you and your chiropractor can select the best overall approach to maintain pain relief, and take steps to keep your back healthy in the future.
Stretching and Strengthening Your Back
Doctor and chiropractor approved exercise may help you build muscles to support your back. Your chiropractor will help you customize exercises and monitor your progress.
Strong abdominal muscles help treat and prevent low back pain, according to Harvard Health. Strong abdominal muscles create a healthy posture, reducing back strain. Strong, flexible upper legs support muscles that support the back.
Stretching helps create limber muscles that resist injury. Flexibility may be lost when we sit too much and exercise too little. Shorter, more rigid muscles, and connective tissues reduce joint mobility, inviting strains and sprains. Stretch regularly, but gently, without bouncing, which can cause tissue injury. Beginners should hold stretches for a few seconds, slowly building up to 30 seconds.
As you develop an ongoing program of back health, your chiropractor can help you work on additional aspects, learning how to lift correctly, carrying less in totes and backpacks, reducing stress, and shedding extra pounds.
If this sounds like a plan for your back, stop by The Joint Chiropractic clinic near you to find out about the affordable personal healthcare plans that require no insurance, and the convenient weekend and evening hours. Walk-ins are welcome. No appointments are needed.
