When would you see a Chiropractor? 

These days even when we think we are being healthy sometimes we aren’t. With many careers involving long hours of sitting, or repetitive movements it’s a tricky world to navigate. For people working an 8 hour day in front of a computer eye strain and back pain are common. Without the correct care and attention back pain can become more and more debilitating.

For instance, let’s compare two different back pain diagnosis :

  • Mechanical back pain – Usually only experienced a short period of time, and isolated to a specific area. Tailored Chiropractic care can help to improve function, so your body can start healing, while pain becomes less intense and frequent, before being a distant memory.

  • ‘Sciatica’ the term used for generic leg pain (potentially caused by a ‘slipped disc’ or other nerve compression) – Patients have often been doing the wrong activity for a long period of time, or repetitively not correcting their bad habits soon enough. These patients frequently admit they’ve suffered for a long time perhaps with just a low level back ache to start with.

Of these two if you have to have one diagnosis, mechanical lower back pains the one! This is usually an early sign things aren’t quite right. It’s important to listen to these, have some Chiropractic treatment and make some adjustments to your lifestyle (e.g. improve desk setup, correct your movement patterns, posture etc) to promote the optimal environment for healing.

Continue with your bad habits such as: 

  • Inactivity

  • Poor posture

  • Poor sleep

  • Poor nutrition

  • Ignoring your pain

  • High sustained stress levels

and you are likely to only continue into a downward spiral.
