Pain and stiffness are never a welcome feeling.

Here’s what to do if you’ve thrown out your back.

 

“Help! I threw out my back!”

It’s something that many chiropractors (including Oviedo Chiropractic) hear from patients. And while back pain is one of the most common complaints among adults, it’s also a signal that something is drastically wrong.

After all, pain is never “normal.”

Yet even though back problems become more common as you age, that doesn’t mean you have to sit (or lie) back and take it. There is a way to both treat and prevent back pain so you can get back to the things you enjoy.

Back and neck pain should always be taken seriously.

Here’s why you should see a chiropractor first for bulging disc pain.

 

Most people have come to accept that a few aches and pains are a normal part of the aging process—especially pains in the back and neck. As a result, they tend to pop a few Tylenol and go about their daily routine as best as they can.

While the “take-two-of-these-and-call-me-in-the-morning” method may work fine for a minor muscle strain, it isn’t enough to treat a bulging disc.

In order to get to the root of this injury, you need to see a chiropractor for bulging disc pain.
