US Department of Labor estimates that 100 million workdays per year are lost due to low back pain!
Carrying the kids on your shoulders, cleaning the floors, lifting groceries out of the car, or a little extra up front, (that’s the pendulous abdominal syndrome). Lifting, bending and twisting, or worse yet, sitting all day at work. Add this to a slip and fall or a previous car accident and it’s not difficult to understand why studies show that approximately 80% of Americans will suffer from lower back pain at some time in their life. Many times back pain begins after just bending over to pick up a pencil. Now, it’s not the pencil causing your back pain, but rather your lower back’s structure (meaning the muscles, joints, discs, and vertebrae) has lost its normal functioning, and therefore could not provide the necessary support to your spine. Doctors of Chiropractic specialize in finding the cause of your lower back pain. Combining spinal adjustments with proper exercises and stretches, and a well balanced diet are the keys to reducing or eliminating your lower back pain. Doctors of Chiropractic are the specialists in treating lower back pain!

Dr. Bob,
ReplyDeleteIt shows that drugs are not the smart idea. Why not fix the problem at the source. It makes so much sense to me. I think others need to jump on my boat. The Pro-Chiropractic boat.

I have hurt my back just putting on my shoes...I totally agree that have regular adjustments keep me in good shape!
ReplyDeleteBobby,
ReplyDeleteDrugs are not always the answer. I think you should make your boat a cruise liner, and load it up with prospective patients. What do you think? A win win for everyone!!
Thank you,
Dr. Bob Moulas
Hi Candy,
ReplyDeleteI have done the same thing! The body will compensate so far, and then it goes out! Regular Chiropractic treatments are a good way to prevent this from happening.
Thanks for the visit,
Dr. Moulas
