happy active senior woman outsideAs the heat of summer intensifies and humidity levels climb, the motivation to be active can decrease. While it may be tempting to stay indoors and take a break from your fitness routine, neglecting exercise can lead to weakened muscles, stiff joints and back pain.

Fortunately, chiropractic care offers a holistic solution to address these concerns and keep you feeling your best throughout the summer season!

Addressing the Effects of Physical Inactivity

During the summer, it’s not uncommon to feel less inclined go for an outdoor jog or even hit the gym due to oppressive heat. However, this lack of exercise can lead to physical health issues, including heart disease risk factors.

The spine and central nervous system work together to keep the body functioning properly. As such, any nerve interference can affect your range of motion, posture and overall movement. Our team of chiropractors can effectively alleviate aching joints and muscle weakness by helping you maintain proper spine alignment and musculoskeletal health.

Ways to Stay Active in the Summer Heat

While high-intensity workouts may not be the ideal choice in scorching hot weather, there are plenty of low-impact activities that can help you stay active while beating the heat.

Swimming offers a refreshing way to cool off in the summertime and is an excellent full-body workout that engages your muscles, without putting excessive strain on your joints. Incorporating activities like yoga, walking or gentle stretching sessions can also keep your body active and flexible during the summer months.

Chiropractic Care to Maintain Healthy Habits

From vacations and outdoor gatherings to all other summer festivities, it’s easy for your regular exercise routine to take a back seat. However, neglecting your physical health can have consequences that extend beyond the summer season.

Regular chiropractic visits can play a vital role, helping you address discomfort or pain caused by inactivity. Our chiropractors also provide guidance on proper posture and nutrition to ensure your musculoskeletal system remains in optimal condition.

When outdoor temperatures rise, don’t let the summer heat become an excuse to forego your exercise routine and neglect your health! By engaging in low-impact summertime activities and staying committed to regular chiropractic visits, you can ensure your body remains strong, flexible and pain-free beyond the summer season.

"I started adjustments for neck, back, and tailbone pain and at the end of the 10 weeks the pain was completely gone. Dr. Wade is kind, funny, and very good at what he does. He brings positive energy into the office every single day and is in a good mood 100% of the time."
Cassandra K.
"I strained my lower back a month prior to an Ironman race. I was unable to sleep, walk or sit, never mind continue training as planned. The entire office staff is beyond kind, caring, professional and runs extremely smooth. I was explained every step and procedure, along with a patient education class that really helped me understand what was wrong with my back and steps to fix it. Dr Wade was able to get me sleeping, walking and able to compete in my triathlon. 5 stars for many reasons and would highly recommend."

"The single greatest team of professionals I’ve ever met and worked with. From the moment you step in, Brooke is absolutely wonderful and always so accommodating with scheduling and brings so much cheer to the office. Dr. Wade is a phenomenal doctor and completely transformed my back after a work related injury that showed underlying spinal conditions. I now am pain free in my day to day activities and back to my normal active lifestyle. Couldn’t recommend this practice enough to anyone and everyone."

It is his help that has allowed me to continue to go to work every day and provide for my family. The staff is always super accommodating and pleasant to deal with. I have never received an attitude. When Dr DeFrancesco is not available, I am fortunate that he leaves me in the talented hands of Dr Wade and Dr LeFavor."

I felt so comfortable with them that I brought my new born baby and my 3 year old in to get adjusted!"
