Back pain is one of the most common health issues people face. While many people assume that living with back pain is normal, it doesn’t have to be. A visit to a chiropractor can help you feel better and get back to doing the activities you love. Here are some tips from Holten Wellness on how to manage your back pain with the help of a chiropractor.

Stretch Regularly
Stretching regularly can help reduce tension in your muscles and make them less prone to spasms, which can cause back pain. Your chiropractor will be able to recommend stretches that will benefit you specifically, so make sure you take note of these and add them into your daily routine.

Watch How You Lift
A lot of people have poor technique when it comes to lifting heavy objects, leading to strains and sprains in the body. Make sure you use the correct technique when lifting heavy items – if you’re ever unsure about how best to lift something, ask for help rather than risking an injury! Your chiropractor can also give advice on proper lifting technique if necessary.

Avoid Sitting for Long Periods of Time
Sitting down for long periods of time puts pressure on your spine, which can lead to discomfort as well as other issues such as sciatica and herniated discs. Whenever possible, make sure you take regular breaks from sitting down throughout the day – even just standing up and stretching for a few minutes is helpful! Over time this will help relieve any pressure caused by long hours spent sitting down each day.
