Just walk! It’s easy. It’s economical.
It’s useful. Walking is an amazing means to
get healthy and remain healthy. Walking is an amazing way to find relief from chronic pain and back pain.
OrthoIllinois Chiropractic's McHenry chiropractic back pain specialist often advises walking as one of the first
things to try to McHenry back pain patients. Here
is why…
WALK MORE. SIT LESS.
It may seem strange when OrthoIllinois Chiropractic inquires about your sitting habits when you come in for McHenry
back pain treatment and relief, but it is not! It’s well
known and now even supported by research that sitting
for lengthier periods of time is a risk factor for low back
pain. The new research goes even further to point out that longer sitting and low physical activity
boosts low back pain risk even more. (1) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic’s
curiosity about your sitting habits is logical! OrthoIllinois Chiropractic’s recommendation
to walk is, too.
