Chiropractic Care to Support Summer Fun

Summer is here, and with it come so many opportunities to get out and enjoy life. Regular chiropractic care through the summer months can help support those activities by maintaining alignment. Chiropractic care is a non-invasive way to address back or joint pain that might be getting in the way of enjoying the season. The combination of chiropractic adjustment along with education about nutrition, exercise, and the healthy habits that support a vital and vibrant life can make this summer the time to kick-start a health journey. 

Yard and Garden work

Summer is prime time for many people to work in their yards and gardens. Gardening can provide movement opportunities, beautiful flowers, and healthy, delicious fresh fruits and vegetables right in the backyard, but it can also lead to lower back pain. The bending, stooping, and carrying that goes along with gardening may exact a toll on the body. Regular chiropractic care can help restore and maintain alignment. Additionally, chiropractors may offer tips for how to move most effectively keep the back strong and healthy. Daily habits that support stretching and strengthening muscles in the core, hips, and back, and support good posture and movement mechanics can make all the difference. 

Summer Activities

Summer is a great time for hiking, biking, and swimming, as well as summer sports activities such as baseball, softball, soccer, and beach volleyball. This increased athleticism offers great opportunities to move and be active. In order to minimize injury risk, it’s important to keep the spine and joints healthy. Regular chiropractic care helps support athletic activity, and it is appropriate for the whole family. From birth through old age, chiropractic care can help support an active lifestyle, whether that means hitting a ball over the fence or taking a daily walk after dinner. 

Travel

Summer can be a great time to travel. Whether it’s a road trip or a longer adventure by plane, train, or boat, traveling can put a strain on the body. Disrupted sleep schedules, prolonged sitting, long wait times, and fewer chances to move and stretch can lead to discomfort. Chiropractic care can help relieve travel-related stiffness and soreness. Scheduling adjustments for both before and after travel can alleviate some of the stress of traveling.
