Do aches and pains spoil your enjoyment of gardening I love my small garden at home and I also keep an 80 x 80 foot allotment. For me gardening is one of my great pleasures in life. For some people however, It can be daunting to look out the window and wonder if they can go outside and do some weeding without ending up being bent double from a bad back!
The aches and pains many people the world over, frequently and often unnecessarily, suffer from are invariably the result of not listening to their body, to ignoring the warning signs and just letting the body get into a state of structural and hence neurological imbalance.
Pain due to a lack of spinal health is a funny thing. Many people I meet in daily practice often tell me how over the years they have had to give up their love of gardening because their aches and pains get in the way. In fact I have even known people who have resorted to moving to a new home with a smaller garden, simply to make life more manageable. Just think of the cost and stress involved with such life changes and all over what can often be as simple a thing as back or muscular strain. If properly diagnosed and treated such pains can be drastically reduced and controlled.
Remember that painkillers just cover the symptoms and if you reach for a bottle of them, look at the warning signs and read any research about the brand that is available on the internet and particularly about the contraindications. I would personally be very careful regarding the use of any such products.
Your body is pretty amazing though - bones, muscles and organs, all of which are controlled by your nervous system. This self same nervous system lets you know you have a problem by giving you a warning sign if you over do it – that warning sign is pain! But what do people generally do, they feel the pain, take a pain killer or have a hot bath and wait for it to go away – it will almost certainly come back again. If the oil warning light came on in your car, would you unscrew the bulb and throw it in the back seat or would you take the car to the garage to get it checked, find out what was wrong and try and get it fixed if you could? That is the logical course of action and that is what most people do.
So, if you want to do some gardening and are concerned about your aches and pains, or are worried that you might do something to set everything off, please listen to your body – it really is an intelligent organism. No pain medication will cure your problem, in fact the only thing that can heal you, is actually you yourself! Take the time to speak to a qualified spinal health care professional who will not only take the time to listen to you, but also takes the time to carry out a full and thorough examination. In this way they will discover the root cause of your aches and pains, and return your body back to a state of balance so your body can get on with the job of healing itself.
Yours in Health Stuart Lawrence BSc(Hons) MSc(Chiro) DC Spinal Therapist
