GardenerBent by Gardening Pains
The sun is shining, the trees are budding, and it's high-time to get out into those weed-filled flower beds and garden to bring them back to life. With this season of planting, tilling, digging and shoveling come the bodily aches and pains, and the occasional injury. This year tend to your body, the way you do your garden, by integrating the following into your agrarian adventures.        

Body Mechanics - Be aware of your body's position with each task
  • Make sure you are lifting with your legs
  • Keep your spine long when kneeling or bending
  • Use a gardening pad or knee pads to protect your precious joints while on the ground
  • For those with chronic back pain - use a gardening stool so you can keep your body upright
Tool Tactics
  • Choose the correct tool for the job
  • Check out the latest in tool evolution - Manufacturers are making giant strides to provide gardeners with ergonomic options for tools with better grips and longer handles to minimize strain on the body.
Tuning into Your Body
  • If you feel tightness, pinching or pain in your body (especially your back) while gardening, this could be the sign of a structural misalignment. Go see a chiropractor for an evaluation before you spend more time digging in the dirt. Click here for more information about our Chiropractor.
Needle Your Way Out of Pain
  • Manual labor tends to aggravate preexisting weaknesses in the back, especially with the sedentary lifestyle of most Americans. (I mean who really wants to sit at a desk for 8 hours!). Acupuncture and low-level laser therapy are fantastic remedies to restore circulation and alleviate inflammation that causes back pain. Click here for more information about our Acupuncturist.
Did Someone Say MASSAGE!
  • Inevitably the twelve-hour gardening marathons are going to leave even the most healthy, flexible green thumbs in pain. Tend to your sore muscles with a therapeutic massage. Click here for more information on our Massage Therapists
