Weekend Warriors....We Have Your Back!
The weather is getting warmer, flowers are starting to appear with their vibrant colors, birds are chirping, and it's that time of year when so many people become overzealous and do way too much on the weekends. From throwing a baseball with your children, starting a new exercise routine, or spending endless hours outdoors gardening. This is what we call Weekend Warrior syndrome. You wake up sore, stiff, and unable to move. Sound Familiar?
This occurs so very often during nice weather because we all have so much to do and we all enjoy the warm changes in the weather and air, so we just need to be outside being active. With this increased activity, people experience increased pain, soreness, stiffness, muscle strain, and neck and low back issues that resurface.
So when this happens, what is one to do? How do you start to feel better? Has anyone suggested chiropractic to you? If not, then they should have! With all of this increased activity, your spine may be subluxated (misaligned) and compromising the nerves that interact with your brain, which inevitably slows down the healing process. Through gentle chiropractic adjustments, we are able to align the spine so that the signals being relayed through the brain to the body can function more optimally, that in turn will help the body heal and adapt to these new stressors from this past weekends activities.
So, the next time you go outside and realize the next day that you did too much, be sure to get in contact with your chiropractor, because we can help!
