How Chiropractic Care can Support Sports Recovery

The Chilling Connection – How changes in cold weather may impact your joints and certain conditions?
As winter settles in, many individuals find themselves grappling with increased joint pain and stiffness. While the cozy image of snowfall and winter evenings is enchanting, the reality for some is the unwelcome onset of discomfort. In this blog post, we’ll explore different types of conditions and their relationship between cold weather and joint health, delving into the factors that contribute to these winter woes.
Chair bridge
The Chair Bridge is a great exercise that strengthens the hamstrings, glutes, core and lower back. It is common for one side to slightly tilt, but with strength from your hamstring, glute and especially your core, you can work on keeping your body stable and centred.
Quadriceps stretch
While increased activity on your feet may lead to tight quads, so can inactivity. Sitting for hours reduces the amount of time you spend lengthening and shortening these muscles. With increased sitting, the quads become static and more resistant to lengthening or stretching
How does Neck and Back pain cause headaches and what can the chiropractor do for you?
Did you know that your neck supports the weight and movement of your head – quite a job, since an adult’s head can weigh between ten and fourteen pounds! It also contains the majority of nerves that reach from your brain to the rest of your body, like a pipe full of fiber-optic cables.
Calf Stretch
The calves are some of the most overused but overlooked muscles in the body. And if you run or wear heels regularly stretching your calves is a must. Too-tight calves aren’t only painful, they can lead to injuries including shin splints, calf pulls and stress fractures. They can be done at home or work! It’s your choice!

This is because in lower temperatures, the muscles feel tight to move and the joints ache more so it can always be a struggle to exercise.
Back to School
School books might be a thing of the past as kids turn to using ipads and laptops but bags still need to be carried into school. We recommend using a backpack which is used best with both straps to even out the pressure over the shoulders. If one strap is used this will load the shoulder differently and affect the arm swing and the pressure through the hip, knee and foot.
