Though anyone at any age can experience back pain, there are some people more at risk than others. Regular visits to Houston County Chiropractic can help address the risk factors before you have to deal with the pain – or help you get rid of it if it’s already started.

Obesity

Excess weight on the spine is a common factor when it comes to chronic pain in the back. Our chiropractors can help reduce that weight. Chiropractic care for weight issues? You wouldn’t be the only one to ask such a question, but it’s true. Chiropractors can help you lose weight through nutritional guidance, personalized health plans, lifestyle recommendations, and targeted exercises.

Pregnancy

Many women experience chronic pain in the back during pregnancy due to the excess weight and pressure of a growing baby. Chiropractic care is a great way to alleviate that pain, reduce stress, and even decrease labor and delivery time.

Specific Jobs

Whether you constantly move and lift things at work or you sit at a desk, your spinal health is at risk. Repetitive movements and lifting can quickly lead to muscle tension and injuries. Sitting at a desk tends to lead to poor posture, which can cause misalignment, herniated discs, and more. A chiropractor can not only help undo the damage but help prevent that damage in the future.

Lack of Activity

People who live sedentary lives are at constant risk for back pain. That might seem strange since they really aren’t doing that much moving. That lack of movement weakens the core, which can directly impact your spinal health. Like weight issues, a chiropractor can help you enjoy a more active life with nutritional counseling, specific exercises, and lifestyle guidance. Additionally, chiropractic care can help ensure your body is in the best shape and that you are energized so that nothing is stopping you from being more active.
