Little Neck Chiropractor Talks About Improving Your Health

Every year, thousands of people suffer from some type of lower back injury. This often requires a visit to their Little Neck chiropractor. Sometimes to injury is a result of gardening or doing some other type of yard work. This happens often in the spring when people are anxious to get outside and tend to their yards after months of being penned indoors by the winter season.

It is relatively easy to injure your back, especially if you are moving heavy objects around the yard with dysfunctional movement patterns. In office, we can assess your injury to determine to root cause, and provide a treatment plan to help you.

There are a number of tips that can help you when it comes to preventing back injuries while you are working in your yard. Perhaps one of the most important things to remember is that in most cases, the more conditioned you are, the less likely you are to suffer an injury of this type. Fitness and strengthening is a good idea in any case, and this is especially true when you are performing any type of rigorous physical activity. Good muscle tone and flexibility will go a long way toward helping you stay healthy and free from back injuries that can be very painful.

In addition, you always want to lift properly. Keep your core tight, avoid bending from your waist, and make sure to use your legs and keep your core tight when lifting. Many times we put too much stress on our back while lifting, which might lead to a back injury.

You can visit your chiropractor even if you are not currently experiencing any problems for a “spinal check-up”. This can prevent you from suffering a back injury or some other type of injury while you are working in your yard. In the event that you do suffer an injury, visiting Care Chiropractic in Little Neck can be an integral part of the recovery process.
