Chiropractic Clinic Birmingham – Sport Capital

Birmingham is a sporting capital – the first city in the UK to be dubbed the National City of Sport by the Sports Council. And although sport has massive benefits to our health, community and outlook, it can also have a few unwanted physical side effects – pulled muscles, sprains and of course back injury. Back pain can be debilitating and left untreated, it can cause misery and even end your sporting ambitions, which is why it’s crucial you have a good chiropractic clinic.

Birmingham – The City of Sport

Birmingham is home to Aston Villa and Birmingham City – two of the oldest clubs founded in the late 1800s. As well as being the proud recipient of the European Cup in 1982, the city is known for its success in cricket; it hosted the first Cricket World Cup. Back injury is common in professional and amateur sports, and leading athletes will have regular treatments at a chiropractic clinic – Birmingham is also home to the Alexander Stadium, an international track that hosts some of the world’s top athletes. Other leading sports centres include the National Indoor Arena, where wrestling and indoor athletic championships are hosted. The history of the city is awash in sports, with tennis, rugby, boxing, hockey, greyhound racing and even skateboarding alive and kicking.

Chiropractic Clinic: Birmingham’s Pain in the Back

The injury suffered by England World Cup winner, Steve Thompson, was extremely severe in nature and could have been considerably worse in the grand scheme of things. The Northampton hooker received massive back trauma playing for his club against Biarritz and it soon became clear after visits to a specialist and chiropractor, Northants rugby legend, Thompson, would have to retire. Speaking to the BBC, the rugby star stated, “My disc was squashing my spine and was told I was very lucky to still be walking.” Upon hearing this news, Thompson visited a chiropractor in Northants, “He told me I needed an operation to remove the disc because if I knocked it even during a mundane activity around the house it could kill me.”

Sit-ups are easy, accessible and a sure-fire way to achieve a toned stomach. But sit ups can cause back pain in a healthy spine, so imagine the devastation the exercise can cause on the majority of us struggling with back pain. 85% of us will have back pain at one point in our lives – it’s a huge percentage of us, but there’s no reason to live in painful discomfort – serious back injury can even be life-threatening. For this reason, the chiropractic clinic Birmingham residents visit can make all the difference to their lifestyle and health.

Correct exercise however can be essential for back care by strengthening muscles that support the spine. The wrong kind of exercise however will lead you straight to the chiropractic clinic. Birmingham may be sports mad, but for those who are simply doing sit-ups in the gym or their home, it’s crucial you seek professional advice on how to do the simplest of exercises if you want to avoid the chiropractic clinic. Birmingham fitness professional recommend a few do’s and don’ts when it comes to the humble sit-up:

• Don’t tuck your feet under a bar to make the sit ups easier – anchored feet means the force of the exercise is exerted on the lower spine not the stomach, so you won’t get that six pack but you will get back pain.
• It’s important you visit the chiropractic clinic before you start on an exercise regime – if you have an undiagnosed disc problem for example sit ups can be dangerous as when you bend forward, your internal organize press against the discs.
• Placing your hands behind your head may make it easier on your stomach, but it will create a strain on your neck muscles and cervical flexors in the neck.
• Avoid the conventional sit up; use a Swiss ball to do sit-ups or crunches. Stick to 12 repetitions per set and breathe out when you bend forward and in as you lower. Make sure you choose a Swiss ball appropriate to your height.
