Every spring our clinics see a predictable spike in low back, shoulder, and elbow injuries. The cause is rarely a single dramatic event - it's the cumulative effect of moving from a sedentary winter into a high-volume summer in the span of a weekend.
Where most summer back injuries actually happen
- First yard cleanup of the season - repetitive bending and twisting.
- Loading and unloading vehicles for travel.
- Returning to golf, tennis, or pickleball without a ramp-up.
- Carrying kids and gear at the beach.
- Long drives without movement breaks.
What pre-season chiropractic actually does
We assess where your spine and pelvis are restricted, restore motion in the segments that are stuck, and prescribe two or three specific exercises that address your individual asymmetries. Patients often describe it as preventive maintenance - exactly the kind of thing you'd want on your car before a long trip.
