Do You Suffer From “Dad Back”?

If you’re a father, chances are that you’ve experienced or are currently experiencing back pain. It’s known as one of the most common pains that fathers experience, and it’s known as “dad-back” in the chiropractic field. This usually comes with symptoms in the form of standing lower back pain, laying down uncomfortableness, and lifting problems. Luckily, because we see “dad-back” so often, we know there are practices and treatments that can give you, or the dad in your life, back pain relief.

Causes of “Dad-Back”

The causes of back pain in fathers comes from a mix of stress and work. Generally, men either sit or stand for eight-plus hours a day. When the spine remains in the same position for that long, wrecks the nerves and muscles in the most delicate places. This is why lower back pain is so common in older men to begin with. Compound that with the stress associated with fatherhood, and there is a recipe for intense back pressure that needs to be addressed. Sometimes, this pain becomes so bad that it prevents them from bending or lifting themselves from their chairs easily. But we’ve created a series of natural ways to address these issues and provide back pain relief. We’ve found that a significant portion of bodily pain can be reduced if they keep in mind that they should be moving more, laughing, and receiving regular chiropractic care of course! These are just some of our stress relief tips and we are happy to share more at your next appointment.
