What steps can I take to Prevent Back Pain?


If you have back pain that is lasting or re-occurring longer than a period of 2 weeks, there is a problem. But there are steps you can take to resolve the issue. First step would be to visit your doctor of chiropractic. Your pain will often result from mechanical problems that your doctor of chiropractic can address. Chiropractic patients with long-lasting or recurring back pain feel improvement shortly after starting chiropractic treatment. The relief they feel after a month of treatment is often greater than after seeing a family physician. Typical you should expect to see significant results within 2-3 weeks.

Chiropractic spinal manipulation is a gentle and cost effective spine pain treatment. It reduces pain, decreases medication, rapidly advances physical therapy, and requires very few passive forms of treatment, such as bed rest.

Here are some tips to help prevent back pain.
• Don’t lift by bending over. Instead, bend your hips and knees and then squat to pick up the object. Keep your back straight, and hold the object close to your body.
•  Don't twist your body while lifting.
•  Push, rather than pull, when you must move heavy objects.
•  If you must sit for long periods, take frequent breaks and stretch.
•  Wear flat shoes or shoes with low heels.
•  Exercise regularly. An inactive lifestyle contributes to lower-back pain.
Things to keep in mind when you see a chiropractor is that chiropractic care are not a quick fix. Don’t plan on going for 2 or 3 visits and thinking you are good to go and ready to take on life. Just like a dentist can’t straighten teeth in a day, a chiropractor cannot correct your spinal problems in a few visits. It takes regular visits from 20-40 and 6 -12 weeks to correct spines. However it is well worth the investment. Next time you have back pain, consider chiropractic care and give a local chiropractor a call.
