What Can I Do To Keep My Back Healthy?

In between your chiropractic vitists, there are lots of things you can do to keep your body, especially your back, healthy:

1. Sit up straight

Develop the habit of good posture. It makes a world of difference in the way your back feels.

2. Eat your vegetables

A good diet is important to your overall health. All those nutrients help your body repair itself. Keep your weight down. Carrying extra weight puts excess strain on the back.

3. Turn off the TV

Get up and move. Go for a walk. Add exercise to your regular routine. When you have to sit for long periods, stretch regularly.

4. Put that down

Don’t lift things that are too heavy for you. (If you have to, lift with your legs, not your back.) Don’t carry around a backpack stuffed full of books, (especially not on one shoulder) or a heavy bag, if you can avoid it. The key is to minimize. Only take what you really need.

5. Go to sleep

Sleep is essential for your well-being. Just don’t sleep on your stomach, which can strain the muscles in your neck and back. Practice sleeping on your side or back.

Is Chiropractic Treatment Safe?

Chiropractic treatments are incredibly safe—actually, they’re one of the safest kinds of medical care available. And your chiropractor has studied extensively to fully understand the body’s systems. The chiropractic-training program is comparable to the program of study for medical doctors. According to the American Chiropractic Association, more than 30 million people visited doctors of chiropractic last year for a variety of conditions, and more and more medical doctors are referring their patients to doctors of chiropractic.

Is Chiropractic Care Actually Effective?

Yes! Chiropractic care is a safe and effective alternative to medication and traditional health care. Chiropractic care has been proven to give great results. 9 out of 10 chiropractic patients report that their treatment is effective.

Does Your Chiropractor Have On-site Medical Care?

In addition to chiropractic, our doctors have advanced degrees in the medical field. Dr. James Fields and Dr. Andrew Fields have advanced practice degrees in nursing and also currently practice as family nurse practitioners. There is no other chiropractic office in the region with this level of education and experience.
