What to do when the pain returns?

Tips for your back in everyday life

Many patients are surprised at how quickly they feel better after treatment. But what if the pain returns weeks or months later? This is nothing to worry about. It just shows that your body still needs support.

Why do complaints reappear?

Blockages and misalignments can be easily corrected with chiropractic treatment. However, the causes of pain - such as prolonged sitting, one-sided movements or stress - often remain. This means that old patterns can creep back in. Sometimes all it takes is an unfavorable strain and the pain returns.

Movement protects your spine

The spine is dependent on movement. This is the only way to provide optimal support for the intervertebral discs and joints.  Regular small changes in everyday life help more than many people think.

• Get up briefly every 30 to 45 minutes.
• Walk a few steps while talking on the phone.
• Vary your sitting position.
• Stretch for a few minutes in the morning or evening.

Drinking & nutrition

Intervertebral discs consist mainly of water. Drinking enough supports their elasticity and buffer function. Diet also plays a role: plenty of vegetables and good fats help to reduce inflammation in the body.

Stress as a factor

Stress often causes muscles to tense up. Many people don't even notice this - until their back reacts. Short breaks, breathing exercises or a walk can help to calm the body down.

Regular check-ups

An appointment with a chiropractor is not only useful if it already hurts. With regular check-ups, small misalignments can be detected early and treated before they cause problems. We will discuss individually how often this makes sense for you.

Conclusion

Your back needs more than just a one-off treatment. With a few simple measures, you can do a lot to ensure that it remains stable in the long term.
