Content by-Jarvis Neergaard What Senior Health Care Service Covers ChiropracticChiropractors believe that giving birth while lying on your back can cause spinal damage to your newborn baby. Additionally, if the doctor pulls the baby from the birth canal the spine could be damaged. For this reason, chiropractors recommend giving birth in an upright position and allowing the delivery to progress naturally. Avoid sleeping on your tummy if you have chronic back pain. This makes your spine get out of the natural position it should be in. Instead, sleep with a pillow between your legs if you sleep on you side, or recline on your back and place a small pillow behind your knees. You can also roll up a towel and put it behind your neck for support. This allows your spine's three main curves to be protected. How Does Chiropractic Care WorkToo much sitting can be bad for your posture. Sitting in one position a long time can cause stiffness and other discomfort, too. Try taking a break to do some quick stretches. One quick spinal stretch involves standing up and raising your arms over your head. You could also try changing positions every half hour or so. Many people work hard to maintain and build core strength while fighting back pain. Side planks are an exercise that produces results without harming your back. Balance on your side (on one arm and the same foot), and reaching the other arm straight up. Hold as long as possible, and then roll to the other side. How To Add More Value To Your Chiropractic CareTo help you avoid stress on your neck while looking at your smartphone or tablet computer while you're in bed, either raise your arms so that your device is level with your eyes, or prop the table up on your knees so you are looking straight ahead. This keeps you from applying pressure to your neck. Allow your back to wake up before you start moving around. Stretch gently and get up slowly while you support your weight by your arms. To strengthen your core without damaging your back, take sit-ups and crunches out of the equation, because those movements can worsen the pain you feel in your back. Try the plank pose from yoga instead. This involves lying down on your stomach and then raising the body so that you balance on toes and hands, as in the top of a push-up. Hold this plank as long as you can. Chiropractic care is an effective treatment, but it is not an instantaneous cure. The situation that is causing you problems probably took time to develop and it will take time to remedy it. You have to follow your doctor's treatment plan and attend all of your scheduled appointments. After your treatment is complete, consider scheduling a monthly appointment for preventative purposes. When you are applying heat to your back, moist heat is best. You can hop into a warm shower and stand beneath the hot water, or you can put a heating pad in a plastic sack. Cover the sack with a damp cloth, and then turn on the heating pad to generate moist heat. It's easy to see that you can get a lot out of getting chiropractic care, you just need to know where to start with it. Take the great advice you were given here, put it to good use, and in the end you will see results. If you start now you'll be able to get the right kind of care you need! ![]() |
