Green Thumbs and Sore Backs: Take Care of Your Back This Summer!

Summer yard work is necessary, but it can also cause quite a bit of pain to your back. Taking tips from professional chiropractors can help you prevent back pain and have a pain-free summer!

Brooklyn, NY (prHWY.com) June 3, 2012 - Summer is just around the corner, which means that many people will spend a great deal of time doing yard work. This is a necessary and often frustrating fact of life for people that want immaculate yards, and it can often cause exhaustion and severe back pain.

However, by taking some tips from professional chiropractors, you can ensure that your summer is back pain free. There are several Brooklyn pain treatment centers for back pain and the trained chiropractors on staff at any center will be happy to help you prepare for the grueling yard work that awaits you during those warmer months.

One of the key things you can do to make sure you don't overstress your back during yard work is to treat it like any sort of strenuous exercise. Perform basic stretching warm ups before heading outside. It always helps your muscles and joints to ease into drastic bending and stretching positions before giving them the full brutal workout when you get to work.

Next, no matter what sort of work you have planned, never stay in one awkward position for too long. If you have weeds to pull and mucl to spread, do them in intervals rather than knocking each one out at once. Remaining in a arched or bent position to pull weeds can wreak havoc on your back; take a break from that position after a while and get out the rake. The stretching you undergo during raking will stretch the muscles in your back that had been folded and cramped while you were hunched over in the weeds.

If you want to remain pain free while performing yard work, you're going to have to face some truths. If you're older and know your back isn't what it used to be, never try to lift heavy items such as large backs of seed or mulch, or large stones. Ask a family member for help or maybe even consider hiring a younger friend in the neighborhood. The important thing is to not put too much pressure on your back if you know that you aren't in good shape.
