After suffering a back-related injury, any responsible worker wants to get back to work quickly. While bed rest was once recommended, that strategy has been largely discounted in favor of getting back to normal activities as soon as possible. As the injured worker does this, it is important to restore his or her confidence so that no further harm will result. Chiropractic can help in the recovery effort by addressing underlying structural misalignments that give rise to muscle spasms and other softtissue stresses. It is essential to address pain-related immobility in the early stages of disability so that imbalances do not lead to chronic problems. Chiropractic’s proactive approach gets patients back on their feet and back to work.
It has been said that a body in motion stays in motion and a body at rest stays at rest. Whether at rest or in motion, your lifestyle choices impact the health and function of your joints. Chiropractic care provides a safe and natural option to locate, correct and prevent joint dysfunctions. It can play a vital role in keeping your body balanced, flexible and functioning at its best. To schedule an appointment, please call FAMILY PRACTICE OF CHIROPRACTIC at 617-472- 4220. Our practice is located at 112 McGrath Hwy., Quincy.
P.S. Injured athletes are more apt to “work through” back pain because they are highly motivated and not depressed in the way that some injured workers are.
