Back Pain Relief in Dundalk
As one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care, back pain can range from being a bit bothersome to highly debilitating and affect individuals of all ages. While it can stem from sudden injuries or trauma, prolonged sitting, poor posture, and stress are leading causes. The forward tilt of your head, often referred to as “text neck,” adds extra strain on the spine, worsening discomfort over time.
According to Dr. Stuart, for every inch the head goes forward, the workload on the spine doubles. Poor sitting posture—whether at desks, while driving, or at home using devices—can place significant strain on the spine. Over time, this can accelerate degenerative changes and lead to knock-on systemic effects, such as impaired breathing and disruptions to other bodily functions.
How Chiropractic Care Helps
Chiropractic care addresses the root cause of back pain rather than masking symptoms. By focusing on spinal alignment, chiropractic adjustments can reduce degenerative changes, improve mobility, and enhance overall posture.
Unlike painkillers, which offer temporary relief, chiropractic care helps resolve the underlying issues for long-term benefits. For example, consistent chiropractic maintenance has been shown to help patients lead long, healthy lives, excelling in their favourite activities with fewer interruptions from pain.
Daily Habits to Prevent Back Pain
In addition to chiropractic care, Dr. Stuart also recommends the following:
- Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet with local, seasonal, and organic foods.
- Take regular breaks every 20 minutes to move if you sit for extended periods.
- Practise good posture with lumbar support at work.
- Adjust your computer screen so that it’s at eye level.
- Engage in strength and mobility exercises regularly.
