Habits You Should Quit to Protect the Back

By Genevieve Cunningham

We all have many habits, both good and bad. For the most part, our habits are relatively harmless. Biting our nails, staying up late, twirling our hair. These may not be the most ideal habits, but they’re not causing any significant harm. Unfortunately, a few of our habits may be contributing to poor health and pain in the body. Who knew? If you want to keep your body healthy and get rid of stubborn back pain, take a look at these habits to break … and one to begin now!

Inactivity

Inactivity is such a bad habit. Once we get used to not moving, we often continue to not move. And this can be incredibly bad for the back. Our entire bodies, and especially our backs, were intended to move on a regular basis. When we don’t, it can cause stiffness and eventual pain. If you want to avoid this pain, make sure that you remain active in life -- exercise, walk, or just get up and get moving.

Long Hours at Work

We might be a working world, but working long hours day after day is not good for your health. And it’s definitely not good for the back. Long hours usually mean one of a few things: hours behind a desk, hours doing a repetitive motion, or hours of stress placed on the spine. If you want to beat back pain, leave when the whistle blows. If you have to work late, make sure that you limit it as much as you can.

One Habit to Add: Chiropractic Care

While quitting bad habits will get you moving toward a healthier back, adding one healthy habit immediately will bring even more benefit to your life. Try adding chiropractic care to your normal routine in order to improve overall spinal health. Chiropractors use manual manipulation to remove restrictions from the vertebrae of the spine. This relieves tension and eliminates pain. With ongoing care, chiropractors may be able to keep the spine in better health and keep the pain and discomfort far away.

If you would like to try chiropractic care in your life, visit with chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic. At The Joint, getting care is easier than ever before. Just use their walk-in visits and affordable pricing to get the care you need without the hassle. Your habits can make such a difference in the way that you feel.
