Treat Your Back With Care

By Tom Herrin

There are lots of ways to protect or abuse the back.  One that can creep up on it unexpectedly is walking up and down uneven, rough, or sloping surfaces.  Doing so can place a strain on the muscles that provide support for the spine.  While it may seem simple enough, walking on surfaces that cause the body weight to shift unevenly can strain these muscles.  This can result in pain or cause that proverbial catch in the back.  If walking on such surfaces causes you pain, a visit to a chiropractor may put your back on even ground.

The Tilt May Get You

When people walk on rough or uneven surfaces, good footing may be a problem.  Anytime this happens, the muscles that support the back can be placed in a position that is not so much the norm.  This can place a little more unbalanced load on these muscles which may cause them to be strained.  This can cause them to be weakened and fail to provide support.  This may result in a joint dysfunction in which pressure is applied to a nerve and causing pain.  It may seem minor at first, but it may grow into a significant nuisance.  Before long, it may seem that there is no relief.

Chiropractors Can Relieve Pain

When people go to a chiropractor with back pain, they can usually expect to be given an adjustment in which the injured joint is gently manipulated so that the joint is restored to its optimal position.  This can relieve the pressure from the nerve and the pain.  Many times, the chiropractor will suggest some exercises that can help to strengthen the muscles that support the joint.  Since this is all natural, no pain medications are used, so there is no risk of addiction or side effects.  Recovery may be faster and a return to normal activities may be sooner.

Regular Visits May Mean a Healthier Lifestyle

Once people experience the relief that chiropractors can provide, they often want to continue it.  At The Joint Chiropractic, they have plans that can help to make that work.  No insurance is required, no appointments are necessary.  They are open days and evenings, weekdays and weekends at all of their more than 450 locations nationwide.  If walking on slopes or rough surfaces gives you back pain, drop in at The Joint Chiropractic today and enjoy that relief today.
