Every year thousands of people suffer some type of lower back
injury. This often requires a visit to their chiropractor as a result of
gardening or doing some other type of yard work. This happens a lot in the
spring when people are anxious to get outside and tend to their yards after
months of being penned indoors by the winter season.
It is relatively easy to injure your back, especially if you are moving heavy objects around the yard. While good chiropractic care is always one of the first things you should do after receiving such an injury, you also want to consider the fact that chiropractic care, which occurs on a fairly regular basis, may help to curb some of these injuries in the first place as does following some common safety precautions when you are working in your yard.
