Lifting injuries are some of the most common injuries resulting in lower back pain. Trying to lift too quickly or simply trying to lift too much is when mistakes are made in lifting techniques and form. Lifting injuries can affect the legs, neck, and shoulders as well as the middle and lower back. Our chiropractors at Unity Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Beaverton provide treatment for a variety of injuries, including lifting injuries.
Poor Lifting Techniques
Poor lifting techniques include trying to lift an object that is too heavy or simply too big for one person to lift safely. These types of injuries are often caused by trying to lift awkward objects by yourself. To avoid injuring yourself, you need to take proper precautions. Learn proper lifting techniques and always ask someone to help you if an object is too heavy or too awkward to lift properly.
Chiropractic Care for Lower Back Pain
Chiropractic care is one of the best ways to effectively treat lower back pain. Myofascial therapies, as well as postural and ergonomic assessments, can be used to get to the bottom of your lower back pain. Once Dr. Kathy identifies the original injury, we will create a treatment plan to address your pain and reduce your symptoms.
