If you are currently experiencing back pain or if you simply want to ensure that you do not encounter problems with your back, it's a good idea to start doing daily exercises to improve the flexibility, movement, and strength of your back. Ideally, talk to a chiropractor on our team about the type of stretches that you should do for your circumstances. Based on your age, overall level of health, and the location of any present or past injury, there may be areas of your back that need attention than others. We at Unity Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Beaverton, OR, know a lot about stretches for your back.
Chiropractic Care and Stretches for Your Back
While there are too many stretches to share all of them with you here, it is important to make sure that you have proper instruction when performing them. This is especially true if you have recently injured your back. Some types of stretches can cause a lot of harm if they are performed the wrong way, and in some cases, they can make previous injuries worse.
To avoid this outcome, schedule an appointment to speak with a chiropractor on our team about the type of stretches you should do. In addition to demonstrating the right techniques, our chiropractor will also be able to judge how often you should perform each exercise and what length of time you should hold each stretch.
If stretches are part of a recovery program from an injury, it is possible that a chiropractor at our practice will require you to do more repetitions or increase the difficulty of each stretch. Ideally, following a stretching program will help you to recover from an injury faster and keep you from reinsuring yourself in the future.
