Chirosports - Randwick

Do you suffer from backache but don’t know the cause?  Often back pain may be the result of poor posture - sitting, standing or sleeping in a position that places stress on the spine.  Here are a few examples:

Injury elsewhere in your body may result in you standing awkwardly or walking with an altered gait. A broken toe, for example, might lead you to transfer most of your weight onto the opposite foot, so that your spine is twisted. The potential result: a sore back as well as a sore toe.

Uneven distribution of the weight of a heavy backpack may cause you to twist your spine potentially resulting in tight, sore shoulder muscles or a stiff upper back or neck.

Sleeping on your stomach may stretch your neck and place your head in an unnatural twisted position.  This poor sleeping posture stresses muscles and upper vertebrae and may lead to a sore, stiff neck or back ache.

Slipped discs aren’t always caused by a sudden jolt to the spine.  Often it’s wear and tear of the vertebrae that accumulates gradually during years of poor posture.  The result may be intense back pain.

Chiropractors have extensive training in the analysis and treatment of back pain and other posture-related ailments.  If you think a chiropractor might be able to alleviate your back pain, call Chiropractor Randwick today to book your appointment.
