Lift Right

Alt Text

Improper lifting is a common cause of many types of back injuries. Twisting and turning while lifting can do the most damage. Whether you’re helping a friend move out of their apartment or picking something up at work, most of us lift things incorrectly.

Rather than simply bending over to lift the item with your knees locked, form a "tripod" by placing one knee on the ground with the item you’re lifting close to your body.

Lift the weight over the knee on the ground and then continue lifting by straightening both legs. This way of lifting is far better than keeping both feet together and bending both knees at once!

Would you rather feel good or be healthy?
Ask most people in Palm Beach Gardens and they want to feel good. Careful! Would you take medicine that makes you feel good, rather than vomit to expel improperly prepared food? Every chiropractic patient knows that you can't measure your health by how you feel. True health is when your body works as it should.
What is the significance of "growing pains?"
Chiropractors know that aches or pains at any age mean something's not right. In fact, many children go through stages of growth without aches or pains. So while "growing pains" may be common, they're not normal. That's why our Palm Beach Gardens chiropractic practice sees lots of children. A chiropractic checkup for your child can often help detect and correct problems that are more difficult to correct in Palm Beach Gardens adults.
