Building A Strong Back and Shoulders

Back injuries account for about one third of all workers compensation costs and one third of all workplace injuries. Back injuries can occur wherever people are at work - on farms and building sites, in factories, offices, warehouses, hospitals, banks, laboratories and while making deliveries.

Your spine, or backbone, is the central support of your entire skeletal system. It is designed for strength, to support your body weight, and flexibility, to allow movement. When healthy, your spine is S-shaped with three natural curves. When these curves are in balance, your body weight is evenly distributed. To maintain this alignment, you need to have strong and flexible muscles in your back, legs and abdomen.

Most people do not exercise on a daily basis and few of us relax even when we are not on the move. Sometimes your work may require you to hold yourself in postures that make movement difficult and unnatural. This can lead to lower back pain. Any posture that compromises the natural curvature and muscular balance of the spine places strain and tension on the supporting muscles and ligaments, weakening them. Without proper support, the joints of the vertebrae are forced to carry weight they are not meant to carry. This leads to premature spinal degeneration and pain.
When body systems work in harmony, self-healing processes can function efficiently. Because the spinal cord carries nerves to every part of the body, any distortion or strain on the spine (known as ‘subluxations’ or ‘fixations’) can have far-reaching effects and cause problems in the internal organs, glands and blood vessels. Chiropractic treatment aims to re-align the spine so that body systems can function properly.

Your back is also the biggest muscle group in the body. Thus, effective back routines are an extremely important part of your routine.
