Regularly sit with your wallet in one back pocket? Your sacroiliac joint may not thank you! Sitting with your wallet in your back pocket tilts the pelvis and can put more strain onto one side of the pelvis and spine.
Lots of people tell us that they like to “crack†their joints. They twist their neck into an awkward position and feel a satisfying “popâ€Â. Others twist their lower back and hear a “clunk†which seems to provide some temporary relief. The noise you can hear when doing this is a natural phenomenon that can happen when you simply turn to reverse your car for example. But is it safe to do it yourself? The short answer is ....we DO NOT recommend it! But let us explain why.
Our spine and joints like movement, but sadly we hear time and time again that due to the nature of work, people struggle most when stuck at the office for hours. Whether you are working from home or going into the office, there are some simple things you can consider which could significantly reduce pain associated with sitting for long hours.
When we see a healthcare professional of any kind, we want to be a good patient. This ensures we get the most out of the time and treatment. When you see a chiropractor, we hope that you will see it as entering a partnership for your care. The chiropractor is often able to do a lot to ease your pain, but we need your help!
Chiropractors are qualified health professionals trained to diagnose and treat pain arising from the bones, joints and muscles that support the body. This is called the musculoskeletal system.
It is a very common question. Of course, people want to know can we help and how long will it take before they start feeling better?
