Few types of pain and injury are as disruptive and uncomfortable as neck or back pain and injury. Unfortunately, a great deal of people— everyone from manual or service workers who perform the same movements over and over to office workers who are seated 7-8 hours a day— are faced with exactly this kind of pain. And when it comes to injury as a result of day to day activities, according to the chiropractic and pain relief specialists at Archdale, NC’s Stroud Chiropractic PLLC, treatment should usually involve not only in-house treatments like spinal adjustments, but counseling on ergonomics and corrective exercises you can do outside of the chiropractic clinic.

What can corrective exercise and lifestyle work do for you to relieve back and neck pain?

• Consultation:Dr. Stroud, the leading chiropractor at Stroud Chiropractic PLLC, will try to work with you to figure out not only the extent of the injury or pain, but its causes. With a thorough knowledge of what led to the current situation, he can establish not only a treatment regimen, but ways in which you can be involved in your own healing process.
• Corrective Exercise:Pain as result of skeletal misalignment might in part be caused by overstretching or straining the muscles surrounding the affected area. Dr. Stroud will recommend exercises— most of which you can do at home— to further help these affected areas heal and strengthen, alongside professional treatment.
• Lifestyle Coaching:After the initial adjustments get rid of the problem, it becomes important to ensure that the injury doesn't return. This is where ergonomic advice can prove essential; the staff here will offer suggestions for things you can do every day to avoid re-injury. Manual workers might learn about proper ways to lift, and those in the office will hear about the importance of periodic stretching and breaks throughout the day.
