As the leaves begin to change and the crisp fall air rolls in, many people are spending more time outdoors raking leaves, cleaning up their yards, and preparing their homes for the colder months ahead. While these seasonal chores may seem harmless, repetitive bending, twisting, lifting heavy bags, and working in awkward positions can place significant stress on the lower back, neck, and shoulders. What starts as a simple afternoon of yard work can quickly turn into lingering pain and stiffness that interferes with everyday activities. 

Sarah, a 42-year-old female, presented to our office complaining of lower back pain and stiffness after spending the weekend raking leaves and clearing her yard. Although she regularly stays active and enjoys taking care of her home, she began experiencing discomfort that madeit difficult to bend over, twist, and move comfortably. After beginning a course of chiropractic care, including chiropractic adjustments, at-home stretches, and recommendations for proper lifting mechanics, Sarah experienced significant improvement in her symptoms and was able to return to her daily activities with greater comfort and mobility. 

If you are suffering from a similar problem give our office a call at 508-660-2722 and make an appointment with Dr. Molly Rappaport or Dr. Michael Goldstein today. We are located at 1426 Main Street Suite #6, Walpole, MA.
