San Diego Chiropractor Shows How Holiday Stress Can Cause Your Back Pain

The holidays are just around the corner. There will be presents to unwrap, there will be gifts to buy and there will be big holiday meals to devour. But there is one thing left to consider for many of us. It is the back pain many suffer around the stressful holidays.

Back pain is much more common than you may think. And the culprit may have be one of a number of many things. For example, all those special holiday meals and desserts you enjoy may start it all. Clearly, the holidays are a special time not just for sharing with loved ones – but packing on a few extra pounds put added stress to your spine and muscles. And adding just a little extra weight can be enough to flare-up old back pain and problems or be the straw that breaks the camel’s back to create ‘brand new’ back pain.

One of the best solutions is to exercise because exercise not only helps reduce the extra pounds, it also relieves stress to the spine and overall. Add in all the stress the holidays inevitably bring to many of us, and many cases of back pain either begin or get worse. What can you do when this happens?

But there’s a problem to consider when thinking about exercising. It may not wise to start an exercise program if you already have back pain. Many times, back pain is caused by malfunctioning spinal joints in the lower back which could be aggravated by exercise and other stress applied to the spine.

Back pain caused by not working joints can be helped by conservative Chiropractic treatment. One study found that spinal manipulation to be a recommendable method of symptom control for back pain. Chiropractic care can gently help your lower back function properly so the pain can possibly go away naturally and when you’re pain free, exercising and shedding the pounds is much easier than before!
