The Impact of Gym Workouts on the Spine

Intense weightlifting, repetitive movements, improper form, and overexertion can contribute to a range of spinal injuries. From strained muscles and herniated discs to postural imbalances, these issues can be painful and hinder your progress.

Recognising the signs of such injuries and seeking timely chiropractic care can help you get back on track and prevent long-term complications.

  • Muscle Strains: Overexertion or improper technique during weightlifting and resistance exercises can strain back muscles, causing discomfort and limited mobility.
  • Herniated Discs: Poor form during heavy lifting or sudden movements can lead to herniated discs, resulting in back pain and potential nerve compression.
  • Postural Imbalances: Repetitive exercises without attention to posture can cause imbalances, leading to chronic discomfort and instability.
  • Sprains and Ligament Injuries: Sudden twists or improper form may lead to ligament sprains and strains, affecting spinal stability.
  • Joint Dysfunction: Intense workouts can cause joint restrictions/pressures, leading to pain and reduced range of motion.

Chiropractic Care:
A Preventative Approach

Chiropractors are well-versed in assessing spinal health and identifying potential areas of concern. Regular chiropractic check-ups can help you address minor issues before they escalate into major injuries.
