Why is my back stiff and tight when I wake up in the morning?

Alevia Health and Wellness Center - Frequnetly Asked Questio...
Being stiff and sore in the morning is a very common symptom of arthritis. Our catch phrase as chiropractors is 'MOTION IS LOTION', and if your joints are misaligned they get stuck. When your joints aren't moving as nature intended, it prevents the nutrition the joints need to stay healthy. By restoring the proper motion, a joint can be relieved of many symptoms including morning stiffness.
