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!

Dr. Christine Asks some important questions of interest to Peotone residents - Chiropractor Peotone Dr. Christine Asks...

What's a side effect?
It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!
Why do so many drugs require a prescription?
Because they can be dangerous? I chose a chiropractic career specifically because it avoids artificial means of pain relief. Our Peotone chiropractic practice attracts health-conscious families that prefer a safe and natural solution. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
