Why YOU Should Take Back Pain Seriously
Pain in general is like a warning sign from your body.
COMMON CAUSES OF BACK PAIN
Undue pressure on the spinal nerves, tensed or fatigued muscles, spinal disc damage, arthritic changes or structural issues in the spinal cord may result in back pain.
- Accidents/injuries that had an impact on the back
- Lifting heavy objects
- Constant strain to the lower/upper back due to bad posture
- Age-related factors like osteoporosis and arthritis
- Disc-related diseases like sciatica
- Hormonal imbalance during pregnancy
- Genetic diseases Basically, anything and everything that puts a strain on your nerves/vertebral bones can trigger back pain.

CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT SOLUTIONS
Chiropractic care provides targeted solutions for managing chronic back pain.
SELF-CARE TIPS
In addition to professional chiropractic care, self-care practices are essential for managing chronic back pain.
- Maintain good posture: Practising proper posture throughout the day can help alleviate strain on the back. Whether sitting, standing, or walking, maintaining an upright posture with the shoulders back and the spine aligned can reduce the risk of exacerbating chronic back pain.
- Exercise regularly: Engaging in regular exercise is crucial for strengthening the muscles that support the spine. Low-impact activities such as swimming, walking, or yoga can help improve flexibility, enhance posture, and reduce the frequency and intensity of back pain episodes.
- Stretch and strengthen the core: Specific exercises targeting the core muscles, such as abdominal and back muscles, can provide stability and support to the spine. Strengthening these muscles helps alleviate pressure on the back and reduces the risk of future pain episodes.
- Practice stress management: Chronic back pain can be exacerbated by stress and tension. Incorporating stress management techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or mindfulness can help relax the mind and body, reducing pain and promoting overall well-being.
- Maintain a healthy weight: Excess weight puts additional strain on the back and can worsen chronic pain. By adopting a healthy and balanced diet, individuals can manage their weight effectively, reducing the burden on the spine and alleviating chronic back pain.
- Use proper lifting techniques: When lifting heavy objects, it is essential to use proper lifting techniques to prevent back injuries. Bending at the knees, keeping the back straight, and using leg muscles instead of the back can minimise the risk of strain and injury.
- Improve sleep posture: A supportive mattress and proper sleep posture are crucial for managing chronic back pain. Sleeping on the back or side with a pillow that adequately supports the neck and spine can help maintain proper alignment and reduce discomfort during sleep.
