You hit the gym, go for a run, or try a new fitness class—and the next day, your back is sore. But is that normal muscle fatigue, or a sign of something more serious?
Mild soreness after exercise can be perfectly normal, especially if you’re building strength or trying new movements. It’s your muscles adapting and growing stronger. But sharp pain, stiffness that lingers for days, or discomfort that radiates into your legs could point to a spinal issue, strained muscles, or poor movement mechanics.
Back pain after working out may be caused by overuse, poor form, or existing spinal misalignments that are aggravated by certain movements. That’s where chiropractic care comes in. A proper assessment can identify imbalances in your spine or joints and help you move more efficiently and safely.
Incorporating chiropractic adjustments into your fitness routine can improve mobility, reduce recovery time, and prevent injury. It’s not just about relieving pain—it’s about helping your body perform at its best, so you can keep doing what you love without setbacks.
If exercise is leaving your back worse instead of better, let’s figure out why. Book a chiropractic evaluation and keep your workouts on track.
Stay Healthy,
