October is Spinal Health
Month
The American Chiropractic Association (ACA), is
sponsoring Spinal Health Month in October. During that
month people are urged to talk to your local doctor of
chiropractic about the natural ways you can improve your
spinal health and enhance your overall well being.
A national spokesperson from the ACA noted, "The goal of
a doctor of chiropractic is to offer the
highest-quality, professional health care, while
teaching patients how to maintain their physical well
being and a healthful lifestyle. Spinal Health Month is
the perfect time to take control of your health by
discovering this natural approach to wellness."
The article published on Wednesday October 6, 2004 in
Yahoo Finance, also notes that over 30 million Americans
sought chiropractic care last year alone, and recent
studies show that patient satisfaction is extremely high
for those who seek care from a doctor of chiropractic.
The article lists several recommendations by the ACA.
They are:
Don't lift by bending over. Instead, bend your hips and
knees and then squat to pick up the object. Keep your
back straight, and hold the object close to your body.
Don't twist your body while lifting.
Push, rather than pull, when you must move heavy
objects.
If you must sit for long periods, take frequent breaks
and stretch.
Wear flat shoes or shoes with low heels.
Exercise regularly. An inactive lifestyle contributes to
lower-back pain |
