The spring season is upon us and it is the perfect time to get outdoors in Salem, OR. At the same time, we hope you will take into consideration ways to protect your physical health. Gardening and yard work seems easy enough, but in reality, these activities are vigorous and physically demanding. Here at The Spine Clinic, we are here to offer you advice on protecting yourself from muscle pain and injuries this spring.
Get your muscles warmed up before you step outdoors using a few simple stretches. Forward bending, windmills, and shoulder stretches are good places to start. You also want to take a few deep breaths to warm up your internal body for the physical activity.
In addition to stretching, make sure to take regular breaks when working in your yard. This is especially important if you are working on hot, humid days and are sweating a lot. You should also use ergonomic gear, such as knee pads when you are working in the yard or garden.
If you have muscle pain, it can lead to something more serious if left untreated with chiropractic care. For example, neck pain if not treated can develop into whiplash. If you have fallen or pulled a muscle, we can also help with pain and injury treatment using all-natural care. We can also help you avoid injuries and heal more efficiently using chiropractic care.
To get started with chiropractic care to help your body work more efficiently this spring, contact our Salem chiropractic doctor. Here at The Spine Clinic, Dr. Lyndon McGill provides comprehensive chiropractic services including adjustments and holistic care. Contact our office at 503-308-1947 to schedule your appointment today. We look forward to assisting you with your health and wellness goals this spring and the rest of the year.
