Understanding Weather-Related Back Pain: Tips for Relief in Any Climate
As the seasons change, so does the impact of weather on back pain. Cold temperatures can exacerbate stiffness and discomfort, while warm weather can lead to muscle tension and fatigue.
It’s essential to recognise these challenges and empower yourself with effective strategies. On cooler days, consider incorporating gentle warm-up exercises in the morning to kickstart blood circulation, combat stiffness, and prepare your body for the day ahead.
When the weather is warmer, make sure you aren’t over-exerting yourself (which can lead to inflammation) and stay properly hydrated. Seeking support through adjustments and massages can stimulate blood flow, ease stiffness, and aid in the healing process, offering much-needed relief whatever the weather.
If you find yourself experiencing discomfort regardless of the weather, don’t hesitate to book a visit with us for tailored treatment and compassionate support.
Chiropractic Care: One Thing You Shouldn’t DIY!
As tempting as it may be to crack your own back or neck, the allure of quick relief through DIY adjustments you might have seen on social media platforms can inadvertently lead to serious injuries.
Improper back or neck cracking can lead injuries like joint inflammation, muscle strain, and blood vessel injury. While professional chiropractic care involves targeted adjustments, engaging in an at-home crack can result in long-term damage, nerve pinching, and potential fractures.
At Monkseaton Chiropractic, we emphasise the importance of seeking professional chiropractic care to ensure focused and effective spinal care. If you’re in need of an adjustment, our dedicated team is here to provide you with the expert care and personalised treatment you deserve.
