Spring Cleaning Shouldn’t be Back Breaking

Back Pain

Clean with Care to Spare Yourself from Back Pain

With the spring season here, everyone has one thing on his or her mind, SPRING CLEANING! What many people may not realize is that lower back injuries are extremely common during this time due to all the reaching and bending involved with cleaning. Activities such as, vacuuming rugs, cleaning floors, yard work, and lifting heavy objects, can all lead to a risk of lower back strain/injury. But cleaning shouldn’t be back breaking!

Prevention is Key

There are a few ways you can prevent unwanted lower back problems this spring. When lifting heavy boxes, bend your knees rather then your waist. You want your legs to do most of work while performing this task. This will take all the pressure and strain off your lower back.

Chiropractic Can Help

If you do run into lower back pain/injuries during your spring-clean, Smith Chiropractic is here to help offer relief. Through a series of simple chiropractic adjustments, we can correct spinal misalignments and save you a lot of pain down the road. We can also help keep your lower back happy and healthy throughout the year with preventative routine adjustments.

Hope everyone has a happy and healthy week! We invite you to visit Smith Chiropractic Family Care and Sports Injury Center. We will be back next week with another useful wellness tip.

What Our Patients Say

Paul G.
auto accident
“I was not a stranger to chiropractic; I had seen two or three doctors previous to the accident. But it was at this time that I had the great good fortune to meet and be treated by Dr. Patrick Smith. Dr. Smith is an extraordinary diagnostician and superb practitioner of his science and art. As pain and stiffness worsened Pat developed a course of treatment that was, and is, most effective in keeping me mobile, flexible and almost, but not entirely, pain free.”
Kay L.
shoulder replacement
“Treatment at Smith Chiropractic has been unerringly professional, kind and so highly intelligent that my 40 years of hospital work has led me to make Smith Chiropractic my first stop whenever I need to consider surgery or medical care or make medical decisions.”
Cindi P. (parent)
sports injuries
“Dr. Smith has treated many of my children's injuries from recovery after broken bones, shoulder tendonitis, pinched nerves, hip flexor problems, and a torn calf muscle. His deep knowledge of how to treat athletes has allowed them to play through their injuries, rather than taking a significant amount of time off from their sport, along with his ability to understand and quickly diagnose a problem, in my opinion, has prevented more severe issues. ”
