4 Chiropractic Tips for Spring

By Brandi Goodman

The spring season is coming quickly. Before you know it, the time of new life and renewed energy will be upon us. Just because the season embodies a rejuvenating time doesn't mean some pain and problems won't come with it. Keep these chiropractic tips in mind so you can make the most of your springtime. 

Stretch Out Your Spring Cleaning

Spring cleaning is a popular activity during this time period. It's beneficial to purge your home of the accumulated junk from over the holidays and redecorate for the season that's arriving. You shouldn't tackle the entire task one day, though. It's important to stretch out your spring cleaning over several days or even weeks so you do not overexert yourself or end up with severe back pain because of all you're doing. 

Stretch Before Activities

You may be getting outside more often once the spring arrives. Be sure you're stretching out your body well before you engage in any activity. Doing so can help to keep your joints flexible and avoid injuries that may arise after using some of the joints and muscles again that may not have been utilized much over the past winter season. 

Get Chiropractic

Because spring is a time for growth and a sense of new beginnings, starting up a chiropractic routine fits well. Get chiropractic at the start of spring to ensure no subluxations are in the way of your body functioning to its full abilities. You can be sure to start out the season right with a body and mind that are free from stress and tension and able to handle any tasks and activities you have planned for the months ahead.

Purchase Ergonomic Yard Tools

You may not have done much with your yard during the busy holiday season of winter. Now that spring is nearing, there is most likely a lot to get done outside. You should purchase ergonomic yard tools that fit well in your hands and do not make you cramp up or feel sore while using them. Any tools you use should have curved handles and be the right height for your body. You shouldn't be bending to use them adequately or have something that's far too tall to fit with your stature. 

Spring offers a fresh start and renewed sense of energy. You still need to be careful about what you're doing and ensure your body is in the right shape to handle all of the tasks you want to start up again. Keep chiropractic advice in mind throughout the entire spring season to make the most of this timeframe.
