Tweaked Your Back While Shoveling Snow? Schedule Today.
As any Minnesota resident knows, the North Star State can get quite a bit of snow in the winter months. While it’s certainly picturesque, snow can be accompanied by extra chores like shoveling your driveway or sidewalk. If you’ve tweaked your back or aggravated an old injury shoveling snow, our professional chiropractic treatments at Northgate Chiropractic Clinic in Rochester, MN, can get you back on your feet.
The Causes of Back Pain
More than 80% of adults in North America will experience back pain at some point throughout their lives. Add shoveling snow to the mix, and it’s no surprise that you can injure your back after a blizzard. Shoveling snow consists of repetitive motions like bending and leaning, all of which put excessive pressure on your spinal cord and back. This force can lead to herniated or bulging discs, pinched nerves, pulled muscles, and more. If you’re noticing pain in your back, your chiropractor can help you determine the source of your discomfort.
How Chiropractic Can Help Back Pain
Many of the conditions responsible for back pain have a spinal, habitual, or muscular component that your chiropractor at Northgate Chiropractic Clinic has been uniquely trained to correctly identify and treat. Back pain is often the result of vertebral subluxations, or spinal misalignments, that can irritate the surrounding nerves and muscles. Using a series of gentle adjustments, your chiropractor can correct these vertebral subluxations and help you alleviate your pain naturally.
The Advantages of Chiropractic Care
If you’ve tweaked your back while shoveling snow, you may be tempted to simply reach for a bottle of over-the-counter pain relievers. While this solution can provide momentary relief, medications cannot target the underlying cause of your pain. Without addressing the source of your discomfort, your body will not be able to heal properly. Chiropractic care is intended to focus on the root of your condition and thereby contribute to effective results that last.
