Garden Without Back Pain👩‍🌾

As spring approaches, gardeners look forward to getting their hands in the soil and having the warm sun on their faces. As they dig, they find many benefits when gardening, such as reducing stress and anxiety, exercising, absorbing vitamin D, and growing delicious organic fruits and vegetables.


But unfortunately, along with these benefits comes the possibility of back pain and other injuries. Well, we have good news! The doctors at Clairpointe Family Chiropractic have several suggestions for you to help prevent gardening injuries.


9 Tips to Prevent Gardening Injuries

  • Get Adjusted before and after to help avoid injury.
  • Stretch before gardening
  • Practice back strengthen exercises
  • Avoid bending over and bend with your knees, not your back.
  • Use the right tools
  • Ask for help when lifting heavy objects
  • Take breaks and hydrate
  • Consider investing in a vertical garden to limit bending over.
  • Protect your joints with pharmaceutical-grade supplements like glucosamine sulfate, turmeric, and collagen.

🍃Natural Immunity

-
Image
Natural immunity has always been the best way to protect yourself during the cold and flu season. There are five areas where you can make your immune system stronger and prevent illness. 1.) Get Adjusted! When your Atlas and Axis vertebrae (top two in your spine) are adjusted by a chiropractor, it directly stimulates your brain stem, which runs your immune system. The stronger your immune system, the less likely you are to get sick.  2.) Drink lots of cool, clean water every day. Your immune system runs on electricity, and your body acts like a battery to store that electricity; and like any battery, the immune system must be fully hydrated to work best. Tap water has chlorine and fluoride, which need to be filtered out, spring water is just someone else’s tap water, so purified water is best. 3) Take your daily vitamins. Stress, exercise, and daily life deplete essential nutrients in your body, which must be replenished for you to be healthy. Eating good food alone is not enough. Vita

🦶Eliminate Plantar Fasciitis Pain Through Chiropractic Care

-
Image
What is Plantar Fasciitis? Plantar Fasciitis typically causes a stabbing pain in the bottom of your foot near the heel and is caused by inflammation or tears to the long, flat ligament along the bottom of the foot, called the plantar fascia, and also in the Achilles tendon just above the heel.                          Certain risk factors are associated with this condition, most likely occurring in individuals between the ages of 40 and 60. If ignored, it can lead to more serious long-term problems than just foot pain, such as chronic pain and possible knee, hip, or back issues, and worse yet, a torn Achilles tendon. One of the problems with Plantar Fasciitis is that it causes the ligaments and tendons in the foot to be inflamed and shortened. As you rest at night, your body heals, and if your foot is flexed down like it normally is, those soft tissues start to heal in the shortened length. When you stand up in the morning, you re-tear those tissues, and they cannot heal completely. Ho
