How to Hurt your Low Back!

One of the biggest mechanisms of low back pain and disc problems is caused by how you stand during some very routine activities. Some of these activities include; washing dishes at the sink, vacuuming, raking leaves and shoveling snow. Always remember to stand straight up ie; head remain over your shoulders and waist.  If you lean forward during these  activities (even slightly) the weight of your head and chest is suspended by your lower back. This fatigues the lower back and paves the way for muscle spasms, Bulging Discs and lower back pain!

Always keep in mind the biggest problem with Low Back Pain is not the pain itself. The nerves in your lower back bring electrical nerve signals to the colon, prostate, small intestine, kidneys, bladder , reproductive system  and lower limbs.  If these signals are blocked or interrupted those organs will become weak and diseased. Adjustments and/or Decompression therapy are the safest and most conservative  approach to fixing low back issues and staying free of disease.
