Many people experience back pain. However, when it is isolated to the lower right side of the back is not a common occurrence. This can occur for a number of reason and a chiropractor for Back Pain Springboro can offer relief.
If you’re wondering what is causing this pain, some possible causes of this issue include:
Your sleeping position or way you sleep
Not stretching or exercising
Improper or overuse of your body
A good portion of your life is spent sleeping, so it is not surprising that this daily activity can cause back pain in Springboro. If your body is not supported properly while you sleep you can wake up stiff and sore. This is caused by a pillow that is too flat or a mattress that is too soft. Your spine needs to be kept in proper alignment while you sleep, and if you sleep on your side one way to do this is to sleep with a pillow between your knees.
The majority of people are right handed which means that activities they perform throughout the day cause overuse of the right side of the body. Right-handed people tend predominately do things with the right side of their body or do things with their hand. This leads to overusing this side of the body during common activities like sweeping, cleaning, and carry items. In the long run these activities aggravate your spine and back muscles causing pain.
Although it is a common belief that rest is a good way to alleviate back pain too much rest can have the opposite effect. A chiropractor can give you a routine of gentle stretching and exercise to treat this issue. If your joints and muscles aren’t getting the proper amount of exercise overtime they lose flexibility and strength. As a result any activity like washing your car can cause pain in the lower back. Getting into a routine of stretching and exercising your joints and muscles will help them be able to handle daily activities by keeping them strong and flexible. This routine does not have to be anything strenuous a simple walk around the block, do some exercises that require stretching like pilates and yoga, or climbing the stairs more often should be sufficient.
