Back Pain and Chiropractic Care
Does back pain have you down? Did you know chiropractic can help with your back pain, so no need to revert to medicine or even back surgery. 
Eighty percent of people suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. Back pain is the second most common reason for visits to the doctor's office, outnumbered only by upper-respiratory infections. In fact, it is estimated that low back pain affects more than half of the adult population each year and more than 10% of all people experience frequent bouts of low back pain.
Back pain can start from any activity or from your regular schedule. One wrong movement and something can pull or move. With fall upon us, we will all be soon raking our leaves and preparing our homes, vehicles, etc. for winter. Or, if your like Dr. Gallentine spending hours upon hours in your tree stand or box blind. We want to make sure you take the necessary steps to prevent hurting your back. Be sure to stretch before and vigorous activity. Also, take adequate breaks, pushing your body just to get down quicker can cause more pain. Finally, make sure if you are suffering with back pain, call our office and have Dr. Gallentine take a look. The last thing we would want is to have you continue on with the pain (your family would agree!).
We want you to enjoy this time of year with your family and friends, just make sure to take the right steps to prevent any injuries!
