Chiropractors often advise their patients on various strategies to minimize and prevent back pain as part of a holistic approach to spinal health. Recommendations include maintaining proper posture, especially during long periods of sitting or standing, to reduce stress on the spine. Chiropractors emphasize the importance of regular stretching and exercises that strengthen the core muscles, which support the back and improve stability. They may suggest incorporating gentle movements like yoga into a routine for increased flexibility and better posture. Proper ergonomics are also highlighted; patients are encouraged to use chairs with good lumbar support and adjust computer screen to eye level. Lifting techniques are essential, with advice to bend the knees and keep heavy objects close to the body.
Different chiropractors have different philosophies concerning adjustments. Some chiropractors help you return to your prior state of health, and don’t necessarily expect to see you again, unless you have further problems. Other chiropractors believe in a regular preventive maintenance program that might range from a visit each week to a visit once every couple of months. To schedule an appointment, please call our clinic at 860-621-2225. The Raya Clinic is located at 200 Queen St., Southington.
P.S. Chiropractors may recommend a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and hydration, and maintaining a healthy weight to help alleviate excess pressure on the spine.
