Jumping straight into an intense workout without warming up can shock your muscles and joints, increasing the risk of injury. A proper warm-up helps loosen tight muscles, improve blood flow, and prepare your body for movement.
Your core muscles (abdominals, obliques, and lower back) act as a natural support system for your spine. A strong core stabilizes your back, reduces strain, and helps maintain proper posture during exercise.
Poor posture during exercise can place excessive stress on your spine, leading to discomfort or injury. Pay close attention to your form, whether you're lifting weights, running, or stretching.
Lifting too much weight or performing high-impact movements without proper support can increase your risk of spinal injuries.
Just as warming up is important, cooling down helps prevent stiffness and keeps your spine flexible.
Dehydration can affect spinal discs and muscle function, increasing the risk of strains and discomfort.
If you experience persistent back pain, stiffness, or discomfort after workouts, it may be a sign of an underlying issue. Regular chiropractic adjustments can help:
Exercise should help you feel strong, not cause unnecessary strain on your back. By practicing good form, strengthening your core, and maintaining spinal alignment, you can work out safely while protecting your spine.
