Prevent Summer Pains with Chiropractic
Summer is one of our favorite seasons, but it can also be filled with pain. Spending more time outdoors – from gardening to swimming – can result in injuries that cause pain and discomfort. The issues may be the result of poor posture or technique, or you’ve simply pushed your body too far. When summer pain strikes, the chiropractors at Shields Chiropractic can help.
CAUSES OF SUMMER PAIN
In the summertime, there are some common injuries that we treat at your local Saginaw, MI chiropractor including:
- Plantar Fasciitis – Located on the bottom of the foot, the plantar fascia can become injured and inflamed for people who do a lot of activity involving walking or running
- Rotator cuff injury – Your rotator cuff is in your shoulder and helps rotate your arm. It is especially prone to injury in the summer when repetitive movements involved in activities like gardening, swimming, and playing sports are more common.
- Knee Injuries – Increased activity can lead to a muscle imbalance in the legs, resulting in knee injury and pain
Because summer sun is calling everyone to get outside and get active makes risk for pain and injury even higher. Fortunately, the chiropractors at Shields Chiropractic can keep you healthy all summer long!
HOW SHIELDS CHIROPRACTIC CAN HELP
One of the main jobs of a chiropractor is to keep your body functioning optimally. This is accomplished through a few different methods:
- Chiropractic Adjustments – Adjustments remove joint restriction and dysfunction to help your body work at its best. Adjustments also help loosen tight muscles, improve mobility, and help the body recover from injuries sustained during summer or any time of year.
- Exercises – There are usually certain stretches or exercises that can help improve your condition and prevent injury.
- Nutrition – Are you eating all the vegetables and fruits that you should be and hydrating properly? We can help you understand how important proper nutrition is to your overall health and wellness and how it can help your body heal.
It is our goal to help you stay healthy any season, but especially during the relaxed months of summer. To learn more about how chiropractic can benefit you and your family, click here to contact us.
