5 Expert Tips to Keep Stress at Bay

April marks National Stress Awareness Month, a time to reflect on how stress can impact every aspect of our lives. Stress can trigger muscle tension, headaches, and back pain, ultimately decreasing productivity and diminishing your quality of life. Here are our five tips to prevent stress.

1. Practice Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a practice that involves being present and fully engaged in the moment. This can help you become more aware of your stress triggers and how you react to them. By being mindful, you can learn to respond to stressors more calmly and productively.

2. Get Enough Sleep

Lack of sleep can contribute to stress and make it harder to manage. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night and establish a regular sleep schedule to help your body get into a routine.

3. Stay Active

Exercise can help reduce stress by releasing endorphins, which are natural mood boosters. Find an activity you enjoy, whether it’s jogging, yoga, or swimming, and make it a regular part of your routine.

4. Eat a Balanced Diet

Eating a healthy, balanced diet can help your body better cope with stress. Include plenty of fruits and vegetables, and grass-fed proteins in your meals, and limit your intake of processed foods and sugary drinks.

5. See a Chiropractor

Chiropractic care can help reduce muscle tension and improve spinal function, which can help alleviate stress-related symptoms like headaches and back pain. Taking care of your body can also help improve your overall well-being and decrease your risk of developing chronic health problems.

Stress is a part of life, but it’s essential to take steps to manage it before it takes a toll on your health. Let’s make this National Stress Awareness Month a time to focus on self-care and stress management! Check out this infographic for more helpful tips!

6 Injury-Preventing Tips for Spring Cleaning


6 Injury-Preventing Tips for Spring Cleaning
 
Spring cleaning can be an opportunity to declutter and refresh your living space, but it’s essential to take precautions to avoid injury. Here are six tips to prevent back and neck pain while cleaning.
 
1. Warm-up
Before starting any cleaning tasks, warm up your body with light exercises, such as stretching, to prepare your muscles for physical activity.
 
2. Use proper lifting techniques
When lifting heavy things, use your legs instead of your back. Hold the object close to your body to reduce the strain on your back.
 
3. Take frequent breaks
Prolonged standing or bending can strain your back and neck. Take breaks every 20-30 minutes to stretch, walk, or change positions.
 
4. Use ergonomic cleaning tools
Look for cleaning tools that reduce strain on your back and neck, such as lightweight vacuums or mops with adjustable handles.
 
5. Maintain good posture
Whether standing or sitting, maintain good posture by keeping your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and feet flat on the ground.
 
6. Be mindful of your movements
Pay attention to your body movements while cleaning. Avoid twisting your body by pivoting your feet to turn, reducing the strain on your back and neck.
 
Following these tips can prevent injuries while cleaning and make the most of your spring-cleaning efforts. Check out this infographic for more advice, and if you are experiencing persistent pain or discomfort, call us.

5 Tips For Proper Lifting

Lifting heavy objects can be daunting, especially if you’re unsure how to do it safely. Back pain and injury are commonly associated with lifting, but the proper technique can help minimize these problems. Here are our top tips to help you lift safely and avoid injury.

  1. Warm up before lifting
    As with any physical activity, it’s essential to warm up before lifting heavy objects. A few simple stretches can help loosen up your muscles and prepare them for work. Warming up can help reduce the risk of injury and improve your performance.
  2. Use your legs, not your back
    When lifting an object, it’s essential to use the strong muscles in your legs rather than relying on your back. To lift correctly, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and bend your knees to get a good grip on the object you’re lifting. Keep your back straight, then lift by straightening your legs. Check out this Safe Lifting infographic for more details.
  3. Keep the object close to your body
    Another way to avoid straining your back is to keep the object you’re lifting close to your body. This will help distribute the weight more evenly and make lifting easier.
  4. Use the proper grip
    A proper grip can help you avoid injuries to your hands or fingers. One of the best grips for lifting heavy objects is the “Power Grip,” which is when your fingers wrap around the object and your thumb presses against the object.
  5. Take frequent breaks
    Lifting heavy objects can be tiring, so taking short breaks to rest and stretch your muscles is essential to help prevent fatigue and reduce the risk of injury. Also, if an object is too heavy for you to lift alone, it’s best to ask for help or to use a lifting device to get the job done safely.

Following these five tips can help you avoid common lifting injuries. Remember, if you feel pain or discomfort while lifting, stop immediately and rest. And if the pain persists overnight, see us! We’re here to help.

New Year’s Resolutions

Tips for Keeping Your New Year’s Resolutions

It’s the start of a new year, and you’re eager to hit your resolutions for 2023. While this is a great time to take stock of your current situation, set some goals, and make improvements, it can also be tricky.  There are many distractions and excitements to derail even the best intentions. That is why we’ve put together a few suggestions to help you maintain your resolutions and make 2023 the best year ever!.

Be realistic & patient

While it may be tempting to aim for an ambitious target like losing 50 pounds in two months, this may not be realistic or sustainable. Instead, consider setting a more achievable long-term goal, such as adopting a healthy diet and exercise plan over the course of six months. This approach will not only help you reach your weight loss goals, but it will also improve your overall health and well-being. Remember, it’s essential to be patient and consistent, as lasting change takes time.

Make a plan

Goals can be a powerful source of motivation, but they are only effective if you have a clear plan for achieving them. As you think about your goals and how to achieve them, it’s important to consider the potential challenges and setbacks you may encounter along the way. This will help you stay motivated and focused even when things get tough.

Prioritize your health

Making positive changes in your health is important, but taking on too many at once can lead to adverse reactions and stress. Before making a significant lifestyle change, seek out the help of a health professional. They can provide guidance and support to help you achieve your goals.

Consider chiropractic care

Your muscles, joints, and everything in between will function better with a healthy spine. Chiropractic care helps minimize injuries, muscle aches, headaches, and so much more. Don’t let a poorly performing body keep you from achieving your goals this year. Give our office a call today to see how we can help!

Patients and Friends:

Don’t forget to eat your broccoli! Recent studies have shown that a chemical in broccoli called sulphoraphane can have anti-cancer activity with certain cancers. The best way to eat the broccoli is to maximize the sulphoraphane content by steaming it for 3-4 minutes. Remember to buy organic broccoli. Also, try raw organic broccoli sprouts in your salad to increase the sulphoraphane intake by about 50 times!
