The Root Cause of Back Pain: What Is It Costing You?

Is back pain holding you back from your favorite activities, your independence, or precious time with loved ones? You’re not alone back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek help, and it can impact everything from your job to your social life .

Why Does Back Pain Happen?

Back pain isn’t just a symptom it’s your body’s way of telling you something isn’t right. Here are some of the most common root causes:

-Poor Posture: Slouching, leaning over carts, or sitting for long periods strains your spine.
- Repetitive Strain: Hours of sitting or repeating the same movements can weaken muscles and stress your back.
- Spinal Alignment Issues: Changes in spinal curvature or instability can increase your risk of pain and falls .
- Disc Degeneration: As we age, spinal discs can lose height and flexibility, leading to pain and stiffness .
- Arthritis: Inflammation and joint changes can cause stiffness and limit movement .
- Musculoskeletal Dysfunction: Weakness or lack of coordination between muscles affects balance and mobility.

Dr. Collins answered some great questions about supplements and creams that support your body especially during ski season. , during our time at Rochester ski club. Why B Vitamins Matter ?
Dr. Collins shared how B vitamins play a huge role in nerve health. These vitamins help reduce nerve irritation, support energy metabolism, and promote faster recovery after long days on the slopes. If you’re looking to keep your nervous system healthy, B vitamins can be a powerful addition to your wellness routine especially when paired with chiropractic care!

Magnesium Cream: A Secret Weapon
For sore muscles or inflammation, magnesium cream is a game-changer. Applied topically, it helps relax tight muscles, reduce inflammation, and support natural recovery . It’s a perfect complement to your adjustments and mobility work, helping you stay loose and ready for your next run.

Stay proactive about your health this ski season!

Dr. Collins from our Hilton Office! Speaking to the Rochester Ski Club

What is Degenerative Arthritis?
Degenerative arthritis, also known as osteoarthritis, is a condition where the cartilage that cushions your joints gradually wears down over time. This can lead to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility.

Why Prevention Matters Especially for Skiers!

If you love skiing or enjoy staying active, your joints are constantly under stress. Preventing degenerative arthritis is key to maintaining that freedom of movement and avoiding those aches that can keep you off the slopes (or away from the activities you love).

How Can Chiropractic Care Help?

Chiropractic care is all about keeping your joints moving well and reducing inflammation. By maintaining healthy spinal and joint alignment, you can protect your cartilage, support mobility, and keep inflammation at bay so you can keep doing what you love!

Stay mobile. Stay active. Prevent arthritis.

Ever wonder why your feet or toes go numb in your ski boots?
We had an amazing session with the Rochester Ski Club, where Dr. Collins shared expert insights on this super common ski issue!

Dr. Collins explained that the #1 cause of numbness is often improper boot fit or pressure on nerves and blood vessels but there’s so much more to it! Your body’s alignment, nerve health, and muscle flexibility all play a role in how you feel on the slopes.

Our docs at Crossroads Chiropractic loved connecting with the club and breaking down the science of staying pain-free all season long. Chiropractic care isn’t just for injuries it’s a game-changer for prevention, peak performance, and maximizing your time on the mountain!

Whether you’re a seasoned shredder or just starting out, add chiropractic to your wellness routine this ski season so you can ski longer, stronger, and more comfortably.
