As the wisest always say, prevention is the best medicine. We agree here at TriCounty Chiropractic and Rehabilitation in Pottstown, PA. Whether you are recovering from a painful back injury or you want to be proactive in protecting your back, we have you covered. Check out some of the best tips for protecting the muscles and spinal column. 

Does Poor Posture Affect My Back?

Yes, if you have poor posture this can lead to upper back pain, as well as lower back pain due to increased strain on the muscles. By improving your posture you can protect your back against pain caused by sitting or standing for long periods of time. Here at Tri-County Chiropractic and Rehabilitation our chiropractors Dr. Christine Treacy and Dr. Caitlin Redding provide posture correction to help remedy this issue. 

How Do I Protect My Back When Sitting for Long Periods of Time?

Most adults in the US are spending more time in sedentary positions either at work or at home. This can result in severe back pain due to the lack of muscle use or circulation in the back muscles. We recommend getting up every 30 minutes and stretching the back to stimulate circulation. One easy motion that you can do anywhere is to stand up and bend your upper body at the hips. Let your upper body hang over in a relaxed manner. Gently sway back and forth if you are feeling up to it. This reduces strain on the lower back and improves circulation.

Can Chiropractic Care Protect My Back?

Chiropractic care is highly effective for protecting your spine and back muscles. When you get a regular chiropractic adjustment you realign your spine and increase circulation. Both of these offer pain relief, as well as improved protection against injuries, such as sports injuries or repetitive use syndrome.
