“I got it! I got it!” you boldly cry to your Tonawanda fellow workers as you go to lift all by yourself. Then, snap. Pain shoots up your back as it goes out!
Are you one of those men - or do you know one of those men - who thinks he can do it all? That doesn’t need any help? Well, Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation runs into them - and their bad backs - all day long!
Men who have not experienced back pain or leg pain and do a lot of strenuous physical activity like lifting heavy things are in higher danger for hospitalization later on in life for a herniated lumbar disc. (1) Heavy workloads wrench even the manliest of men’s lower backs!
“Why?” our Tonawanda chiropractic patients often ask. Well, there are lots of reasons, but one cause for concern in those who overdo it at work and have a tendency for degenerated lumbar discs is that degenerated discs tend to respond to spinal loading adversely. (2) The nucleus pulposus - the center of the disc - is most at risk of damage when it is degenerated. It just can’t absorb the load like a normal disc can. It’s run-down! But that's where Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation comes to the rescue. Our Cox Technic is tempering!
What disc degeneration? Possibly, overworking the spine. Loading and compression affect the transport of nutrients and oxygen to the spinal cells. The functional spine depends on a healthy disc to do its job of moving nutrients in and out. (3) And smoking…Don’t! It induces disc degeneration. (4) Further, too much spinal loading may lead to inflammation, degeneration and cell death. (5) Inflammation irritates nerves. Degeneration shrinks the spinal canal area. And you certainly don’t want your cells to die! So, be careful, you Tonawanda men. Come let Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation work on your overloaded discs to help them do their jobs better.
Don’t let this information scare you away from doing what you want or need to do. The key is to balance your physical activities because fear avoidance leads to increased disability, too. (6) So move, work, exercise and do what you need to do, but don’t go too wild! Accept help when offered from others...and from Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation!
