Chiro Care to Improve Wellness & Well-Being
Chiropractic adjustments do more than relieve pain. Discover how your chiropractor can help improve your physical health & mental well-being.
The new year is officially here and with it comes a fresh start…but for those suffering from back pain, the new year signifies more time suffering! If you are seeking back pain relief, here are our New Year’s resolutions to relieve back pain.
Sitting, standing, and even sleeping should all be done with proper posture as it can help protect your spine and maintain its health. Poor posture puts unnecessary pressure on your back and can cause spinal misalignments. To prevent back pain from improper posture, avoid slouching, hunching your shoulders, or bending sideways while standing.
Exercise isn’t just about losing weight. When you strengthen your core muscles, you can help reduce chronic back pain and the risk of back injuries. If you aren’t already working out, make a resolution to exercise at least two times per week. Focus on building strength in your back and abdominal muscles. This resolution should also include moving more in general. If you sit at a desk all day long, make sure you get up and stretch regularly. For tips on what exercises and stretches will most benefit you, just ask during your next adjustment.
A diet that is high in vitamin D and calcium and full of antioxidants can help strengthen your spine. Deficiencies in both vitamin D and calcium can lead to health problems, such as osteoporosis, which is a common cause of back pain for older women. Additionally, a diet that is full of nutrient-rich foods can help your body (and spine) heal faster, which can relieve pain.
Back pain isn’t something that people have to just accept and live with. There are many treatments available that can help reduce if not completely eliminate back pain.
