Spring & Summer Pain: Why It Happens and How We Can Help

As the weather warms up, many of us jump back into gardening, hiking, home projects, and outdoor sports. But all that extra movement, often after a more sedentary winter, can lead to aches and pains that sneak up fast.

At our multidisciplinary clinic, we see a noticeable increase in low back pain, foot pain, and headaches during the spring and summer. The good news? These common seasonal issues are treatable and preventable with the right care.

Low Back Pain: Digging, Lifting & Lawn Work Troubles

From raking and planting to hauling bags of mulch, yard work often involves awkward bending, twisting, and lifting. That kind of repetitive stress on your back can quickly lead to inflammation, muscle strain, or even nerve irritation.

• Chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal alignment and relieve pressure
• Physical therapy to strengthen your core and correct movement patterns
• Massage therapy to loosen tight muscles and reduce inflammation
• Ergonomic & postural education to teach you safe ways to lift, carry, and work outdoors

Foot Pain: Sandals, Yard Work & Summer Hikes

Foot pain, especially plantar fasciitis or heel pain, is common as people spend more time walking barefoot, wearing unsupportive shoes, or hitting the trails without preparing their feet.

• Gait and movement assessments to spot imbalances
• Custom orthotics for proper arch support and pressure relief
• Manual therapy and myofascial release for tight foot and calf muscles
• Targeted strengthening and stretching plans to protect your lower body from recurring pain

Headaches: Posture, Tension & Dehydration

Between the sun, travel, gardening, and time on devices, headaches can become more frequent. Tension in the neck and shoulders, poor posture, or spinal misalignments often contribute to this seasonal spike.

• Chiropractic care to address cervical spine issues
• Therapeutic massage to release upper back and neck tension
• Postural training and stretching routines
• Medical evaluation for chronic headaches or to rule out underlying concerns
