Preventing and Recovering From Lifting Injuries With Chiropractic Care
From lifting weights to lifting items at work, doing it properly is essential to preventing pain and injuries. In this guide, Powerlifting trainer Dr. Brown at Brown Chiropractic in New Richmond, WI, discusses some of the most common lifting injuries, how Powerlift training can help, and how chiropractic care can play a key role.
Lifting Injuries
Did you know that some of the most common work injuries are caused by not lifting objects safely? It’s true, and muscle strains are one of the most common lifting injuries – both at work and in the gym. However, improper lifting can also lead to herniated discs, misalignment, nerve compression, and more.
While improper technique is certainly a top cause of these injuries, a weakened core can also play a role. Your core helps support your spine while you are lifting. If it’s not strong enough to provide this support, it’s easy to injure yourself.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Chiropractic care can play an incredible role in preventing and recovering from lifting injuries. Your chiropractor can help keep your spine properly aligned and recommend therapeutic exercises to strengthen your core and relieve tension, to ensure that your body is in optimal shape to lift.
If you sustain an injury, a chiropractor can help you heal more quickly. Through a combination of adjustments, traction therapy, soft tissue techniques, and therapeutic exercises, your body is empowered to heal.
In addition to maintaining spinal wellness and recovering from injuries, you get an extra benefit when visiting Brown Chiropractic. Dr. Brown is a certified PowerLift safe lifting trainer. As such, he can work with you to develop the safest lifting habits to prevent future injuries and keep your spinal column in optimal shape.
