Tips for Summer Pains from Your Chiropractor

Summer is a time most people look forward to, but it is also a season that can be filled with pain for some. The outdoor activities – sports, gardening swimming, and more – can lead to injuries that end in pain and discomfort. These issues may be a result of poor posture or technique, or you just pushed your body too far. When summer pains strike, Livingston County Chiropractic Center can help.

Causes of Summer Pain
There are a few injuries that we commonly treat in the summer including:
Plantar fasciitis: The plantar fascia, located on the bottom of the foot, can become inflamed and painful for people who do a lot of activities like running and walking.
Knee injuries: Increased outdoor activity can mean an increased risk of injury and when there is a muscle imbalance in the legs, it results in knee pain and injury.
Rotator cuff injury: The rotator cuff is located in the shoulder and helps the arm rotate. Repetitive movements from activities involved in swimming, gardening, and playing sports can cause the rotator cuff to become injured, making movement painful.

Because summer sunshine calls for you to get out and get moving, there is an increased chance you could become injured. To prevent injury and promote faster healing when it does happen, give chiropractic a try.
