NOT DIGGING YOUR BACK PAIN? 🤨 Here's how to protect your spine in the garden:

🌻 LIFT WITH SUPPORT🌻
Lift objects close to your body. Bend from your hips and knees rather than your spine. Use a wheelbarrow to carry heavy items from place to place!

🌼 USE LONG-HANDLED TOOLS 🌼
These will help minimize amount of bending while planting and weeding.

🌸 WARM UP BEFORE STARTING🌸
Gardening can sometimes be a real workout! Prepare those muscles by going for a brisk 5 minute walk or by doing a gentle stretch lying on your back, bring your knees to your chest one at a time, holding for 30s.

🌹USE OF A KNEELER OR A SMALL CHAIR FOR SUPPORT🌹
Getting down on the ground and standing up can be very painful. Kneelers can help you by allowing you to use your arm strength to get up and down.

🪴BE AWARE OF YOUR POSTURE 🪴
It is important to vary your posture every half hour. Being stuck in the same position for long periods can lead to injury. So vary between standing and kneeling by alternating tasks.

To avoid twisting, always make sure that you are facing square square onto the area of the garden you are specifically working on. Moving in closely to the area you are working on rather than reaching out is another way to avoid injury or pain.

🌺 LISTEN TO YOUR BODY🌺
Don't take on too much at once. Limit gardening to 20-30 minutes at a time. Take a break to stretch out every 5 minutes.

🪻Sometimes it doesn’t matter how much you stretch and warm up. If there are underlying issues in the spine and nervous system, you will eventually feel the effects of it. Your chiropractor is a musculoskeletal professional. If you are injured, in pain after gardening, or wanting to strengthen and prevent future injuries, chiropractic care is for you! 🪻

How Does Chiropractic Help People Who Suffer From Headaches
On the first visit with a chiropractor, a review of health history will be completed. These may include x-rays (if they are needed), in order to determine the type of nerve blockage that may be occurring. They will listen to the patient, make an assessment, and determine what type/s of treatment is best.

With headaches, there is usually a misalignment (subluxation) in the cervical spine. This may be accompanied by muscles that are tight in the neck, shoulders and surrounding area. Pressure on the nerves can cause sharp stabbing pain or a continual throbbing pain in the region.

The chiropractor will assess the area and then begin treatment, known as a chiropractic adjustment. The adjustment is what relieves the pressure and pain. The relief is usually instantaneous, with an increase in positive symptoms for the following few hours.

Chiropractors don’t just focus on relieving symptoms but getting to the root cause and correcting the problem. That is why additional treatments/adjustments are often required, as one adjustment is usually not enough. A chiropractor will take time to educate patients on treatment, therapy exercises, fitness, nutrition, sleep, and regular adjustments.

If you’re tired and no longer want to suffer from headaches, see how beneficial chiropractic care can be, then please give us a call to schedule an appointment! Abbotsford Office 715-223-6308 or Medford Office 715-748-4433

Lack of sleep + stress + poor nutrition + prescription medications contribute to headache disorders + draw on our energy reserves which need to be replenished for optimal function. Our body systems require energy to function properly. Some require more energy than others, but some of the most demanding functions include- liver detoxification + immune function + cardiovascular health + neurologic function.

MitoCORE includes vitamin D + B-vitamins + magnesium which may help improve overall health. The American Migraine Association recommends 400-600 mg of magnesium at the onset of a migraine. MitoCORE does not provide enough magnesium for symptom relief, but can help support daily intake.
