Did You Overdo It again while Gardening?

Gardening and yard work in general can be physically taxing, even though these are tasks that many people willingly do weekly because they like working with the plants and soil on their property. After the work is done, however, the resulting muscle aches are no fun at all. Sometimes, soaking the pain away in a tub is enough to make you feel better, but that muscle pain often sticks around, reminding you of just how much you overdid it when trying to get your lawn into shape. You don't have to put up with the pain. A chiropractor, such as the ones you'll meet at Stillwell Family Chiropractic and Massage in Kent, WA, can help you reduce and eliminate that pain.

Yard Work Doesn't Have to Leave You in Pain

If you're working in your yard for the first time in quite a while, you could end up a little sore afterward. That's normal. The soreness is general and goes away in a day or so. However, sometimes you really overwork yourself and end up with back pain or neck pain that limits how you move and how much you can do for days after the yard work is done.

Our chiropractor can help you reduce this pain in a couple of ways. The first is straightforward: our chiropractor can help you stay relaxed instead of tensing up from the pain. Relaxing will help your muscles and joints recover more quickly. The other way has to do with how you hold yourself. Our chiropractor can see how your posture might be aggravating your pain in your back and neck. A few adjustments can help you reduce pain and prevent it from coming back the next time you do yard work.
