MAKE SURE TO BREATHE DEEPLY<br />
Breathe deeply while getting your<br />
chiropractic work done. It’s important<br />
that you don’t hold your breath! You want<br />
to breathe in and out with deep breathes<br />
to loosen up your body. This will make it<br />
much easier for the chiropractor to make<br />
the adjustments that are necessary for a<br />
successful session.<br />

FOLLOW THE 90/90 RULE<br />
Try using the “90/90 rule” when<br />
working at a desk. Knees and elbows<br />
need to be bent 90 degrees. Keep your<br />
feet on the floor directly under your<br />
knees instead of under the chair. This<br />
prevents hamstring strain. The computer<br />
monitor needs to also be at or above<br />
your eye level. If you have to, prop some<br />
books under it to view it straight ahead.<br />
Looking down at the screen can strain<br />
your neck.<br />

DON’T KEEP WALLET<br />
IN YOUR BACK POCKET<br />
When carrying a wallet, your back pocket<br />
is not where you want to put it. Carrying<br />
your wallet in the back pocket will<br />
eventually lead to pain in the lower back.<br />
It can actually put constant pressure on<br />
that area of the back, along with nerve<br />
connections to the colon, bladder,<br />
reproductive organs, and behind the legs.<br />
Put your wallet in front pockets instead.<br />
KNOW THE RISKS<br />
Know going in that there is risk involved with chiropractic. You are dealing with<br />
manipulation of the spine after all. It’s important to find the best doctor available to<br />
you for these sessions. Keep away from any clinics where you feel concerned about the<br />
quality care that’s available to you.<br />
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFOREHAND<br />
Make sure you see a doctor before a chiropractor. It is important for you to have a<br />
doctor assess the problem. This information will also be transferred to the chiropractor,<br />
which will help them better deal with your case. It could also mean that using a<br />
chiropractor isn’t ideal for your situation. Your doctor could give you an alternate option.<br />
No one can avoid many of the things in life that can lead to back pain. Time itself can<br />
wear at your back and bring suffering. Knowing what you have read here, you can begin<br />
to get your pain under control and find some proper help to relieve your pain and get<br />
you going again.<br />
