Surfing is my life and being a Chiropractor allows me an interesting observation of both treating surfers in Newquay and also suffering from chronic stresses in my spine and other joints from surfing myself.
Using a Chiropractor can be for a quick fix or for ‘maintenance’ which is similar to getting MOT’s for a car or going to the dentist. We do this every 3 months but you have to show need for spinal care/ joint imbalances in shoulder girdle/ have a chronic injury or suffer a recurrent condition to justify ‘maintenance’. This is something I cannot be without as my job strains my physique as well as the infrequent sport of surfing. You can be maxing your paddle ability with a 6-8ft beach break paddle out one day, and off for two weeks because it’s flat the next. Keeping fit in between is essential.
From an injury point of view, classically the lower neck locks from surfing giving lateral canal stenosis (narrowing of the canal the nerves exit the spine through the neck) and pain in the facet (spinal) joints. These are easy fixes for a chiropractor but if this joint stiffness is engrained over a long period of time with no treatment with Chiropractic manipulation then the lack of joint movement becomes learnt behaviour and needs more work to get the neck joints to stay looser. Worse case is the chronic stiffness leads to degenerative change in the facet joints, change of spinal curve, disc injury and finally nerve pinching (that’s me!). Whatever the issue, professional management is the way forward and Chiropractors are the spine manipulation guys. Doesn’t have to be scary if spinal manipulation is done well.
Love what you do, stay loving what you do, and get it seen to. Why suffer when you can get quick professional relief?
