This You Can Try to Alleviate Back Pain

 Are you tired of waking up with back pain?

Are you looking for relief? 

Here are a few things we recommend you try at home to temporarily alleviate back pain:

Move: Movement of the spine in different directions can help muscles work, ligaments stretch, and work the discs between your vertebrae. Small controlled movements throughout the day for everyone, especially if they are experiencing back pain. 

Stretch: Stretching the muscles surrounding the back can help loosen the muscles and improve your range of motion. This can help reduce pain and stiffness. 

Ice: Ice decreases the inflammatory response your body puts in place to protect and help heal damaged tissues. Ice can often help things feel better, but also to move more and decrease swelling that can put pressure on nerves. 

Practice Good Posture:  Having good posture seems simple, but can impact back pain. Core engaged, chest out, shoulders back and down, and eyes straight ahead will drastically change your body's movement, pain pathways in your nervous system, and breathing. Improved posture often takes the pressure off your vertebrae you didn't know you had.

Exploring Common Causes of Back Pain

 Do you sit for the majority of your day?

Do you make time to get up and stretch between tasks?

Many estimates predict 8 in 10 Americans will experience back pain in adulthood. 

Common Cause of Back Pain

Back pain is typically caused by one of three things: muscles, nerves, or bones. Subluxations lead to back pain in these three ways primarily. 

1. Improper movement of vertebrae leading to pain and discomfort.
2. Nerves are “pinched," causing pain and other symptoms.
3. Muscles that attach to the affected bones are spasmed and work harder to protect joints and surrounding tissues. This can often cause soreness and inflamed muscles.

Sciatica doesn’t just go away on its own, it requires care and attention. If you’re between chiropractic adjustments and need relief, try these quick tips below: 

What You Can Do for Relief 

1. Stretch: Stretching the back of your leg, especially the hamstring, along with the glutes, hips, and low back can reduce your sciatica symptoms. Simple stretches can be found on YouTube with a guided walkthrough. 

2. Nerve flossing: Nerve Flossing is a specific movement that allows the sciatic nerve to "floss" or slide through the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds the nerve like a sheath). 

3. Ice: Another thing to try is icing the affected area. Icing inflamed nerves can help with reducing inflammation and limiting pain. Ice for 10 minutes once an hour.

What is Sciatica?

Do you experience pain or discomfort in the back of your legs? 

Sciatica can present itself in various ways, and it doesn’t affect everyone the same way. 

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica refers to pain, muscle tightness, and discomfort that stem from the sciatic nerve. 

The sciatic nerve runs down the bottom of your glutes, down the back of your legs, and all the way to your heels. It’s made up of a large group of smaller nerves that start in your low back and tailbone. It’s the largest nerve in humans! 

The nerve can be affected by the alignment of your pelvis, hips, and low back. It can also be affected by the muscles in your low back and those surrounding your pelvis. If you suffer from "sciatica," you will typically have pain and discomfort that runs down the back of your leg. You may also experience, numbness, tingling, muscle spasms, or even burning. 

Sciatica isn't always the same, so it could affect you and someone you know differently.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Your Baby

Are you a new or expecting mother? 

Are you looking for ways to improve yours and your baby’s health? 

At the Bridge Chiropractic, we help future moms alleviate symptoms like lower back pain, carpal tunnel, fatigue, and even acid reflux! Additionally, we help you maintain a healthy pregnancy, proper pelvic balance, and improve neurological communication between your body and baby.

Chiropractic and Pregnancy to Delivery

The first thing to develop in your baby is the brain and spinal cord; this is why chiropractic care should be an essential part of every pregnancy. Since the nervous system of the mom is responsible for telling the baby how to develop, we want it to be functioning at its best.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses heavily on the structure and balance of the mother’s pelvis. By helping the pelvis balance and create room for the baby, moms feel significantly more comfortable, and create a healthier and more optimal space for the baby to develop.
