Proper spinal care is important for countless reasons. In fact, virtually all movement originates from your spine so it is vital that you have a spinal care facility that can ensure your spine is receiving the care you deserve. If you suffer from a spinal misalignment, normal everyday activities and movements like picking up objects, walking, sitting up straight, bending over and simply moving your neck from side to side can be painful or challenging. This can create challenges that make everyday tasks difficult. At Health From Within, we are confident that our spinal care will help improve all sorts of skeletal, muscular problems and injuries.

Tips To Achieve A Healthy Spine
We believe that prevention is still better than cure so here are some tips to achieve a healthy spine:
Practice Proper Lifting Techniques
Lifting with proper biomechanics is incredibly important for spinal health. Doing so greatly reduces risk of injury to the spine. For a quick tip on lifting properly, stand as close to the object as you can and use your legs and knees. Avoid using your back or upper body to lift the object. If you know if the object is very heavy, wait to get help.
Keep an Active Lifestyle and Stretch Regularly
There are countless benefits to maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle. One of these is lowering your risk of developing spinal problems. Performing exercise routines that involve core strengthening, aerobic activity and stretching can do wonders. Stretching allows you to stay flexible and helps promote good joint function and full range of motion that helps in contributing to good spinal health.
Maintain a Healthy Weight
Excess body weight can pose health problems for many organ systems in the body. On the spine, it creates added strain to the lower back that can lead to spinal problems. Eating a balanced diet while exercising on a regular basis can help reduce low back strain.
Spinal Care Options at Health From Within
Even with the best intentions at heart, preventive measures may not be enough to stop spinal problems from affecting your health and quality of life. Visiting us for spinal care can help determine whether or not the symptoms you are currently suffering is an acute or chronic issue that requires further spinal care treatment. Knowing the differences between the two kinds of pain associated with spinal injuries can really help determine the best course of spinal care treatment moving forward. Acute pain is described as pain lasting from 3 to 6 months and is directly related to tissue damage. Injuries that lead to acute pain include ligament strain, subluxations and muscle tears. Chronic pain is pain lasting for more than 3 months or the period beyond tissue repair. Chronic pain may be due to fibromyalgia, a disorder that is characterized with widespread musculoskeletal pain that is associated with fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. It may also be due to surgery. Our licensed spinal care Mokena, IL Bettendorf, IA chiropractors can properly diagnose and treat your movement dysfunction while also helping to improve functional status and promote overall fitness in order to lessen the risk of re-injury and impairment progression due to spinal pain.
When neck and back pain stops you from being able to perform your normal daily activities let our spinal care specialists help return your spine to its proper alignment, relieve pain and let you live a better quality of life.
Acute Pain Spinal Care
Pain can easily be managed when it is acute or has only been bothering you for a short period of time. Issues such as recent shoulder strains, knee and ankle sprains may be resolved quickly in just a few visits to our spinal care clinics. For most patients the condition is improved in just a single visit. The quicker we begin the spinal care rehabilitation process, the earlier you can achieve a full recovery.
Chronic Pain Spinal Care
Injuries that last more than six months are considered chronic and normally take a bit longer to resolve and will require more commitment from the patient. Issues like recurring headaches and back pain due to poor posture will not only require spinal care treatment but also the correction of movement patterns and rebuilding strength. At Health From Within not only can we stop chronic pain, we can also restore lost mobility and improve stability in order to prevent the pain from bothering you again.
