Ergonomically Yours

By Dr. Steve Jones
Most new patients come to our office having no idea why they are in pain.  They have no history of slips, falls or accidents.  Some describe an injurious event that does not involve actual trauma.  They describe waking up with neck or back pain or throwing their back out while reaching for a cup of coffee or making a quick movement to stop something from falling.
The human body is very durable; we simply cannot be injured by these types of accidents.   So what gives?  We are susceptible to the cumulative effects of poor lifting habits, poor posture and a multitude of other daily stresses that we give our bodies on an ongoing basis.

Our bodies remember what we have done to them.  We can only compensate for the stress for so long before a break down occurs resulting in pain.  Often this pain is triggered by some non-injury.  It is the “final straw that breaks the camels back”.

Preventing this process is where chiropractic care excels.  Stress, irritation and inflammation of the joints and muscles in our spine accumulate silently.  Maintenance chiropractic care keeps this process in check, relieving the ongoing stress that we ask our bodies to absorb.

Monthly chiropractic treatment is analogous to the daily cleaning of your teeth.  We don’t clean our teeth because they hurt; we clean them to keep them from hurting.  Getting monthly adjustments keeps your spine healthy and mobile and helps prevent problems in the future.

Dr. Steve Jones graduated from the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1991 and has been practicing in San Diego’s Mission Valley since 1993.  He stresses the importance of health and fitness on all levels.  Dr. Jones has taken a special interest in workstation ergonomics and repetitive stress injuries.  This interest in ergonomics led to the development and patent of a mouse platform that is sold throughout the United States and Europe.   Dr. Jones can be contacted at (619) 280-0554.
