The excitement of fall is here! Our senses come alive again as many of us are beginning to enjoy the beautiful and majestic colors displayed on our trees this autumn season. As we know, this beauty is brief for the trees soon lose their leaves and decorate our lawns with piles of wonderful and less exciting dead debris. That beauty also comes at a price for our back, neck, and shoulders as we sweep, gather, and dispose of the leaves more than once this season. So if your home is subjected to leaves falling each year, follow these helpful tips and avoid the consequences of leaf-raking on the body, including strain and pain in the neck, the upper and lower back, and the shoulders.
Top Notch Lawn Care Tips:
- Stretch before you commence work, and throughout, performing knee-to-chest stretches, trunk rotations, and side bends with hands above the head, palms up and fingers weaved. Spend 10 to 15 minutes all together on your stretching. Intersperse the work with a short walk to get the circulation going throughout the body, and do the same stretches as a cool-down once you have finished.
- As you rake, stand erect with your head held up.
- Use a “scissors” stance when raking; that is, keep one foot forward for a few minutes, then swap and put the back foot forwards.
- When bending to pick up leaves or any other trash, bend at the knees not the waist.
- When mowing the lawn, put your whole body into the pushing, not just your arms and back.
- When starting a mower with a pull cord, bend at the knees and extend up in a smooth motion. Do not twist at the waist or yank at the cord.
- Keep well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and wear a hat in the sun. Always wear shoes and protective glasses, and use gloves if your hands are likely to receive rough treatment that might raise blisters. When using loud machinery, employ ear-protectors, and if you suffer from asthma or allergies, use a mask.
- Try to use ergonomically-friendly tools that help take the strain from your muscles and joints.
- An ice-pack can be used to ease any discomfort you feel following raking or other outdoor work.
Pile in the Benefits!
Enjoy the season but remember to follow the tips to rake in the benefits! If your discomfort does not dissipate within two to three days please contact our expert team.

So often in my office as I am meeting a new patient I hear, "Hi Doc, I would have come sooner but my back pain is hereditary." or "I have come for my knee pain and my back hurts but I have had my back pain forever just like my parents so I understand there...

Shoes glorious shoes! Most women and a great deal of men love their shoes. They are designed to be worn for about eight months or 500 miles but like most of us it really depends on what we do in those 500 miles. Just as a great car we want them to look good but maintenance and protection is always essential not only for the tires (soles) but the entire mechanical integrity of the machine (your body).
Understanding Your Feet
Your feet are the foundation of your body. They support you when you stand, walk, or run. The foot is constructed with three arches which, when properly maintained, give exceptional supportive strength. These three arches form a supporting vault that distributes the weight of the entire body.
But did you know, they also help protect your spine, bones, and soft tissues from damaging stress as you move around? Your feet perform better when all their muscles, arches, and bones are in their ideal stable positions. So proper alignment will help your body from the ground up.
What If There Is A Misalignment?
If there is compromise of one arch in the foot, the other arches must compensate and are subject to additional stresses, which usually leads to further compromise.
It’s a chain reaction.
As Chiropractors we know alleviating pain in one part of your body often requires treating a different part. The pain you feel in your neck could be caused by a misalignment in your spine that is caused by unbalanced positioning in your feet. By stabilizing and balancing your feet, your body’s performance and efficiency increases while there is a reduction in pain, and and best of all contributes to your total body wellness.
We Can Help!
As you check your tires this season, take a moment and to check the threads of your shoes. If they are worn or worn unevenly there maybe an imbalance that is causing your knee, hip, or even neck pain.
Our expert team is ready to help you get back and balanced so you can get an amazing more miles out of your well maintained body.

The way you eat your vegetables can affect the amount of nutrition you gain from them. Generally, the freshest and less processed vegetables will supply you with the most nutrients. Immediately after the harvest the nutrients in a vegetable will start to deteriorate, including the anti-oxidants. The sooner you eat a vegetable after it has...
