Did you know that a common cause of back pain is actually having “tired” or weak muscles? And according to our chiropractor in Stoke on Trent, these de-conditioned muscles are often the result of under use.
The fibres in unused muscles can become partially replaced with fat which will eventually lead to muscle wasting. When this happens, the muscles become limper as the reduced amount of fibres do not contract as effectively.
When you consider how much the spine relies on a strong supporting muscular system to function correctly, it’s easy to imagine how weak muscles contribute to back problems.
The good news is that muscles can easily be strengthened and reconditioned through regular exercise. (That’s why most chiropractors and medical professionals recommend appropriate exercise regimes for many types of back pain).
