5 Helpful Back Exercises
If you’re suffering from back pain, there are solutions. At Total Chiropractic, we help our patients deal with their back pain every day. We believe in non-invasive pain management techniques and we’re also committed to avoiding medication whenever possible. Much of our treatment involves chiropractic techniques, but there are many other areas that we touch on to help you achieve total health. We’ll talk to you about other therapies, diet, and lifestyle choices. Another big part of your treatment involves exercise.
Sports Injury and Trigger Point Therapy
Exercise plays an important role in attaining optimum health, and participating in sports is a terrific way to exercise regularly. Whatever sport you participate in, you’re likely having fun, gaining strength and endurance and leading a healthy lifestyle. There is, of course, an occasional downside to sports and that’s when injuries occur. Some sports injuries heal quickly, others are more long-term and some sports injuries become chronic conditions.
Getting Adjusted for Spring
Feel like you’ve been hibernating and woke up in pain? Suffering from winter stiffness? Or have you been suffering from chronic pain and haven’t had a chance to do anything about it yet? If you’ve been staying inside all winter and not doing anything about your pain management issues, it’s time for the season of renewal. Spring is here and it’s the perfect time of year to come to Total Chiropractic Care and Wellness to receive chiropractic adjustment.
Scoliosis Treatment Options
There are plenty of reasons people come to Total Chiropractic Care and Wellness to deal with back problems. You could be suffering from pain related to a car accident or a workplace accident. You may have pain as a result of a sports injury or you could have chronic pain from lifting heavy objects. Another cause of back pain can be related to the spine being misaligned and one issue we often hear about from patients is scoliosis. This is a spinal deformity that can lead to back issues.
Back Pain and Mattresses
Among the most critical hours of our life from a health standpoint are the eight or so hours we spend sleeping. But way too many of us have a difficult time getting enough sleep. Sometimes it’s because we pack our days too much, but there can be other factors which can cause you to lose sleep’s restorative powers. A big contributor to lack of sleep can often be caused by sleeping on an uncomfortable mattress. It can cause back pain, neck pain and other health issues related to lack of sleep. Finding the right mattress can be a difficult task but Total Chiropractic Care and Wellness wants you to know that proper sleep leads to optimum health.
The Total Chiropractic Difference
We know managing pain can be difficult. If you’ve been injured or if you have chronic pain, you want to be treated by a doctor who understands what you’re going through and who knows how to help. You want to be able to get back to optimum health and you want a treatment plan that is as safe as possible. At Total Chiropractic Care and Wellness, we’re committed to trying to help our clients manage pain without resorting to surgery or prescription pain medication.
Winter Back Injuries
Sometimes a Winter Wonderland can turn into a winter nightmare. A landscape covered with a fresh blanket of snow can certainly be beautiful, but the process of removing that snow can certainly turn ugly very suddenly. That’s because winter weather is often a prescription for injury. Picking up that shovel makes you particularly susceptible to back injuries and icy conditions can cause slip and fall injuries. At Total Chiropractic Care and Wellness, we often see injuries of this type and we treat back pain on a regular basis.
