A few major offenders stand out

“It started as a tingling. Then heat started to spread down my back. I was a fitness guru who saw no reason to change my workout routine. And after a month, I paid the price of the worst pain I’d ever been”. Talking to my aunt made me realize just how common back problems can be. She is a gym instructor who suffers along with my others from intense back pains due to physical strain and now regularly sees a chiropractor. Workout fanatic or not, there’s a strong chance that people throughout their lives will deal with back pain at some point. You can develop back problems in a number of ways, but a few major offenders stand out: absentmindedness during daily activity, poor lift technique, and overemphasis on fashion. While these are common pains that many people will suffer from, there are methods that ensure you do not experience chronic back pain in the future and methods chiropractors use to treat the pain.
A common way that people develop back problems is absentmindedness during their daily routines and activities. Simple tasks like vacuuming the house or washing the dishes can bend spines out of shape if the body is not ready. Doctor Michael Hisey, orthopedic surgeon and president of the Texas Back Institute in Denton, Texas says, “movement doesn’t necessarily have to be exaggerated or involve a heavy object” to strain one’s back. If a person’s mind is running on autopilot instead of focusing on what they are doing, they could get themselves into painful trouble. To prevent chronic back pain from absentmindedness in the future, you should train yourself to keep your core muscles engaged. An engaged core strengthens and supports your back. A simple way to do this is every day core exercises. One I personally like is to pull your navel toward your spine and imagine wearing a corset that’s pulling the sides of your abs inward. A strong core will lead to a healthier and easier completion of every day chores and routines. One technique chiropractors may use to ease this pain is corrective exercises. Chiropractors at Arctic Chiropractors Juneau emphasize that exercise programs are most effective when they are tailored to the patient’s condition and pain levels. Corrective exercises work on areas of weakness and help patients feel more mobile and healthy. These exercises likely include a stretching program, aerobic conditioning, and strength training.
