subject: Low Back Pain Relief Is Closer Than You Think In Daphne, Al Now [print this page] The phrase tied to my desk describes the plight of an enormous chunk of the American work force. The computer, local area networks and the internet ensured that almost all the information we need to accomplish our work can come to us over a global network of fiber and cable. This translates into day after day of sitting behind a desk, a situation a visit to a Daphne chiropractor could easily ameliorate.
At the end of the day, many of us wonder how it is that we feel so physically tired from sitting all day. Despite the progress intentionally made int he science of ergonomics, the very fact that we remain in a single position for long periods of time causes difficulty. The pain manifests itself in the lower back region of millions of workers and calls out for relief. Fortunately, there is an alternative to the use of chemicals to relieve the pain.
Our upright position makes for an architectural nightmare as far as distributing weight while maintaining flexibility is concerned. Add to this our penchant for remaining in stationary positions which are ergonomically stressful and you have the makings of a pandemic of pain. Regular exercise and proper diet are part of the remedy for the condition.
For those whose life is so full that finding the time to get out and truly exercise is difficult, paying attention to getting up from our desk or out of the drivers seat for about five minutes an hour focused on stretching would do wonders for our joints, muscles and tendons. Our bodies are designed to move, and in fact our circulatory system is degraded when we remain sedentary. In addition, we actually expend considerable energy sitting still.
When we sit at a desk and spend the majority of the day typing away, even if we avoid the crisis of carpal tunnel syndrome, we are continuously stressing the muscles in our neck, shoulder and back to maintain our position. We can lessen the impact by consciously getting up from our desks, moving around and stretching our muscles every hour or so.
Lower back pain is a common and growing concern for workers everywhere, and one of the most frequently known malady complained about. A visit to a Daphne chiropractor can ease the stress and relieve the ache. In addition, you can learn more about how you can do simple things during your day that will help you maintain that balance which yields a wellness you may have thought you had lost permanently.
