Chiropractic is a system of natural health care that searches for and attempts to correct the cause of health problems, which relieves pain naturally. The pain usually derives from Subluxation (The Basic Underlying Cause).
As a poor health condition develops, pain is the last thing to appear. When the chiropractor works on the cause and the body begins to heal, pain is the first thing to disappear. To be most assured that pain does not return and new symptoms do not appear, the hidden cause of pain must be corrected.
Don't Stop Chiropractic Care When the Pain Is Gone!
Remove the cause of your problem, "the iceberg,” by following the complete recommended program you need. You'll add life to your years and years to your life.
Back Care Program
Maintaining good posture is really important for a healthy back. The first thing to remember is to always be aware of your back. Whenever you are driving in a care or sitting in a chair with a high back, remember to push your navel back toward your spine, and hold your torso upright.
Slouched shoulders are sometimes a bad habit for many people who have office jobs or work at a computer or on the telephone. If you have a tendency to round your upper back, exercises that retract the shoulder blades and stretch the chest and front of the shoulder will help.
When standing for long periods of time, check that your abdominals are pulled in and your hips are slightly tucked under with your knees relaxed. Wearing high heels can encourage a sway back, which can result in back pain and fatigue. And finally, check your posture whenever you pass by a mirror or a reflective window - It's a good reminder to keep your back straight throughout the day.
Rules To Live By
- Avoid bending from your waist only; bend at the knee and hips.
- Avoid lifting heavy objects higher than your waist.
- Always turn and face the object you wish to lift.
- Avoid carrying unbalanced loads
- Hold heavy objects close to your body.
- Never carry or move anything, which you cannot handle with ease.
- Avoid sudden movements. Learn to move more deliberately, smoothly and gracefully.
- Change positions frequently.
- In mopping, vacuuming, raking, hoeing, etc. always work with the tool close to your body. Never use a "giant" step and a long reach in these activities. Hold with two hands and move your body back and forth.
- Sit down to dress; shoes and socks, etc. Don't bend from the waist while trying to balance on one foot.
- Women should wear low heels.
- When you cough or sneeze, round your back and bend your knees slightly.
- When making a bed, do so from a kneeling position.
