New Year, New Activities, New Back Pain
By Tom Herrin
It seems that any time we have new beginnings, we try to look at lots of things differently. Many of us make resolutions each year that last for a few weeks. The point is to establish a fixed point in time in which we start over or reinvent something. Each year, sometime between Christmas and spring, people all over resolve to begin diet or exercise plans. Keeping them can be a challenge.
For those us who manage to keep a new workout program, we can become a little overenthusiastic and end up with injuries that sidetrack our efforts. If that injury is back pain, it can do a lot more and virtually put us out of commission. If your new program has you suffering with back pain, a visit to a chiropractor can get you back in good spirits.
The Back Has Its Work Cut Out for It
No matter what we decide we are going to do physically, our back will be pretty involved. It holds us up, supports our head, and carries many delicate nerves to other parts of the body. When we begin a new activity, we can strain the muscles that support the spine and cause them to fail. When this happens, a joint dysfunction may occur in which pressure is placed on a nerve causing pain. It may feel as if there is no way to get relief. You may walk the floor hoping for it to ease.
Chiropractors Feel Your Pain
When you go to a chiropractor with back pain, you will be given an adjustment in which the spine is manipulated so the injured joint is restored to its optimal position. When this happens, the pressure is taken off the nerve. The pain is relieved. Since it is all done naturally, no pain medication is used. There is no risk of addiction or side effects. Healing may be faster. You may feel that you have the opportunity to enjoy a healthy new lifestyle.
