How to Prevent Injuries from Fall Chores


Before you do anything outside, it’s important to warm up your body with stretching or going for a short walk. By getting the blood flowing, you prep your muscles that may be underused. 

Get someone to help you complete the chores and relieve stress on your body! 

Lastly, if you’re prone to a sore back, or if you injure yourself doing chores, schedule an appointment with your chiropractor. Regular appointments keep your body and spine working optimally and help alleviate any lingering aches and pains. 

Whether it’s an outdoor activity like running, cycling, hiking, or starting a landscaping project and cleaning up the yard, these activities come with a risk of injury.
