Are you struggling with daily neck pain? Do you sit for long periods of time at work? Does low back pain keep you up at night?
There’s no shortage of symptoms caused by poor posture and musculoskeletal misalignment, and in today’s post, we’ll take a look at four of the most common signs indicating that you should visit a chiropractor.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, then schedule an appointment with Ozark Holistic Center. Our Fayetteville chiropractors have treated hundreds of people just like you with personalized care plans, and we would love to work with you to restore your health and well-being.
Frequent Headaches
While headaches can be attributed to a number of different issues, muscular tension is one of the most common causes. Many of us lead fast-paced and stressful lifestyles, causing our entire muscular network to contract with tension. This, in turn, impedes blood flow and causes the dull, aching sensations of a headache.
Sedentary Lifestyle
The vast majority of Americans spend at least 40 hours per week sitting at a desk. Though some employers do take steps to help their employees maintain good posture throughout the workday, many workplaces simply don’t have the resources to invest in ergonomic products. Poor posture puts undue pressure on the spine, which in turn causes problems in the lower back, neck, and shoulders. In some cases, this pressure can lead to serious problems such as herniated discs and nerve damage.
Limited Range of Motion
Most of us aren’t as flexible as we were when we were children, but significant impairments in your mobility should be addressed by a chiropractor. Building on our previous point, many people who sit for long periods of time experience muscle tension in the neck, which can make it difficult to turn your head in either direction. A chiropractor can bring your bones and joints back into alignment, as well as stretch tight muscles that are reducing your range of motion. It may take more than one appointment, but improved flexibility is always worth the investment!
Numbness and/or Tingling
Nerve injury is the most common cause of numbness and tingling in the extremities, but pressure from misaligned bones can also cause these symptoms. Resolving these symptoms could be as simple as fixing a misaligned bone or learning to stretch out tight muscles, but given that these symptoms are serious, it’s important to schedule an appointment as soon as you experience them.
