November 27, 2018

Just walk! It’s simple. It’s economical. It’s useful. Walking is a great way to get healthy and remain healthy. Walking is an amazing way to find relief from chronic pain and back pain. Aurora Chiropractic Center's Juneau chiropractic back pain specialist often advises walking as one of the initial activities to try to Juneau back pain patients. Here’s why…

WALK MORE. SIT LESS.

It may seem strange when Aurora Chiropractic Center asks about your sitting habits when you come in for Juneau 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. Recent research reports more emphatically that longer sitting and low physical activity boosts low back pain risk even more. (1) Aurora Chiropractic Center’s curiosity about your sitting habits makes sense! Aurora Chiropractic Center’s recommendation to walk does, too.
