Sitting or standing for an extended period of time can cause stress to your lower extremities and spine. This stress may cause back pain and discomfort from restricted joints otherwise known as subluxations or joint dysfunctions. These joint dysfunctions can cause improper joint motion and decreased nerve flow to the organs, tissues and cells of the body. A healthy spine is essential to limit and help prevent discomfort and pain.
How does chiropractic work?
Your spinal column is made up of 24 independent vertebrae allowing your body to move, twist and bend through everyday motion. It also helps protect the delicate central nervous system that controls and coordinates every organ, tissue and cell of the body. Chiropractors apply a gentle, targeted movement where and when indicated to improve motion of the body’s spinal column and extremities. This is commonly known as a chiropractic adjustment.
Routine Chiropractic can help with:
Back Pain
Neck Pain / “Text Neck”
Headaches & Migraines
Leg Pain / Sciatica
Knee, Ankle & Foot Pain
Shoulder, Arm, Elbow & Wrist Pain
Arthritis & Bursitis
Fibromyalgia
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Tips to Help Reduce Low Back Pain in the Workplace
Sit with a back support (such as a rolled-up towel) at the curve of your back.
Keep your hips and knees at a right angle. (Use a footrest or stool if necessary.) Your legs should not be crossed and your feet should be on the floor.
Stand with your head up, shoulders straight, chest forward, hips tucked in and weight balanced evenly on both feet.
What is Repetitive Stress Disorder?
Repetitive Stress Disorder is an overuse injury that occurs when excessive amounts of stress or strain has been placed on a particular part of the body resulting in either pain, swelling, muscle strain or tissue damage. Repetitive Stress Disorders are in the same family as strains, sprains, and repetitive motion injuries. These kind of injuries are particularly common for those whose job requires repetitive motion or those who play various sports or musical instruments at high intensity. But, be cautious because repetitive stress disorders result in nearly 50 percent of work-related injuries.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help Those with Repetitive Stress Disorder?
Chiropractic care can be a great way to manage and relieve swelling and pain caused by repetitive stress disorder. Routine chiropractic care provides patients with repetitive motion injuries a safe, non-invasive, non-addictive alternative to prescription medications or over-the-counter pain medications (OTCs), which are commonly prescribed to patients to help them manage their pain and swelling.
Chiropractors deliver a gentle, non-invasive, non-addictive therapy, known as a chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic adjustments reduce joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other joints in the body in an effort to reduce inflammation and improve function of both the affected joint and nervous system. By increasing joint mobility and improving your nervous system function and spinal health, your body has the ability to better manage symptoms caused by repetitive stress disorder.
Below are some of the health benefits chiropractic care and chiropractic adjustments can provide patients with repetitive motion injuries:
- Improved joint motion and coordination
- Relief from joint discomfot and pain
- Improved flexibility
- Decreased Inflammation
What is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine. While this may sound uncommon, scoliosis affects nearly 3 percent of the population, totaling at over 7 million people. For those 7 million, quality of life can be diminished, and participating in activities or sports can be limited due to pain, reduced respiratory function or diminished self-esteem.
Most scoliosis cases occur during the growth spurt just prior to puberty causing potential deformities. Other causes can include cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy. To date, doctors do not know what causes scoliosis, although it appears to involve hereditary factors. While there is also no clear cure, there may be ways to provide relief and improve quality of life for scoliosis patients.
