Autumn Back Care Tips from West Side Comprehensive Chiropractic Care
Cool air, vibrant leaves, and full to-do lists mean autumn is here. While the season brings beauty, it also comes with physically demanding chores such as raking, cleaning gutters, hauling bags of leaves, and preparing gardens for the colder months. These activities may feel routine, but they often place extra stress on your back, leading to soreness, stiffness, or injury. At West Side Comprehensive Chiropractic Care, our goal is to help you protect your spine so you can enjoy fall without discomfort.
Why Seasonal Yard Work Strains Your Back
- Repetitive raking overworks certain muscles.
- Twisting and bending while lifting debris stresses the spine.
- Carrying heavy bags adds weight to the lower back.
- Cool weather tightens muscles, raising the risk of strains.
Back-Safe Tips for Outdoor Chores
- Stretch and warm up before tackling your yard.
- Lift with your legs, keeping your back straight.
- Alternate hands and sides while raking to stay balanced.
- Spread work across multiple days to avoid overexertion.
