Two big reasons are back pain and neck pain

Often, people take action with regard to their health when they experience frequent pain. Eager to start, people frequently ask what kind of stretching or exercise they can implement right away. The best practice you can employ with a new injury is to apply ice packs and rest as much as possible.

During my more than 15 years in practice, I have noticed many enthusiastic people disregard this suggestion and as a consequence, their condition worsens. You want to start exercising and stretching your back when you are out of the acute stage of pain and not before.

The most challenging obstacles clients have to overcome are poor diet and lack of exercise. Outside of chiropractic care, exercise is one of the very few things that a patient can do at home to prevent or help diminish the chances of developing back pain or neck pain.

Exercise after an injury should be approached with caution - almost to a point where the exercise feels as if it is doing nothing. You should first attempt some low intensity workouts, and if you don't experience pain, increase the resistance a little at a time.

Understand your limits when reintroducing exercise after a back injury, and proceed cautiously. When exercising and stretching, make sure it's under the guidance of a health care professional. You can improve the support in your spine by strengthening muscle tone and adding flexibility.

Many patients of my chiropractic office have seen relief from back and neck pain from stretching and targeted exercises. Combining chiropractic care with stretching and exercising promotes faster, more complete healing.

Using Chiropractic and Exercise to Build a Healthy Spine

I provide treatment for many different kinds of injuries. There are many different causes for neck pain, back pain, chronic headaches, sciatica etc. and can include auto accidents, work related injuries, injuries as a result of domestic chores, and even sometimes something as easy to do as sleeping in an awkward position.
