Put a "spring" in your step!



Spring will be here before we know it! Here's a few tips to keep your spring happy and healthy:


1- Begin yard work cautiously - most of us are "weekend warrior" types. After a winter of reduced activity warm up slowly to yard work and major chores instead of going "gung ho" in one weekend. Be sure to listen to what you body is saying in regards to over activity.
2- Get some sunshine as warmer temps will allow. Natural sunshine is the best way to ensure you get enough vitamin d, which is extremely important for overall health. Safe sun exposure is 15-30 min per day, around noon, with as much skin showing as socially possible. Persons with fair skin and skin cancer histories should be cautious.
3- Consider a "season change" acupuncture session. Season changes are hard on our physical bodies. I see many patient for this type of treatment every season change  Acupuncture helps your body transition better with less pain and discomfort.
4- On that note, schedule a "tune up" adjustment to keep your back feeling great for all your yard work! Give us a call today!
