TIPS FOR BEATING BEAT BACK PAIN IN RENTON WA

One of the most common problems that a person will have in their life is a complication with their back. In many cases, with the popularity of back pain, people assume it is normal and deal with the pain the best way they know possible.

With that said, people with an understanding of the human body, are aware that back pain is not something you should live with. A visit with a chiropractor can help in more ways than one as it makes you feel better and also allows you to get back to the activities you like doing most. The following tips from a Renton WA chiropractor at Hughes Chiropractic and Massage are intended to help your back pain.

WATCH HOW YOU LIFT

A lot of people have poor technique while lifting heavy objects. This leads to strains and sprains so it is essential to use the correct technique while lifting. The legs should do most of the work no matter what you are lifting. The back should be straight but in most cases when we get tired we use our legs less. This leads to back injuries as the back has to do more work than the legs. While lifting a heavy object you should turn your feet until you are facing the proper direction as opposed to twisting.

PROPER NUTRITION IN RENTON WA

Nutrition is often overlooked when thinking about a healthy spine. Staying hydrated along with eating healthy prevents weight around your midsection. When individuals are carrying extra weight on their stomachs, the lower back muscles need to be pulling all day long due to the imbalance created. If you are overweight and have back pain, it would be a good idea to evaluate your diet in order to reduce the strain on your back.

SENSIBLE EXERCISE

Exercise is not only important for your back but for many other areas in your life. Exercising can also injure your back if you do not exhibit the correct form. A warm-up along with a cool down is important to a workout in order to ensure you are keeping your muscles loose. It is advised to avoid jumping straight into a workout while your muscles are tight and cold.

AVOID PROLONGED SITTING

Nowadays, people are in a seated position more than ever. Occupations that demand an employee to be sitting can take a toll on the body over the years. The body is meant to be moving and when you are seated the discs are being compressed in your spine. It is not realistic to constantly switch jobs but one is able to get up and walk around once an hour in order to stretch out.
