It's easy to fall into the weekend warrior routine-long days of sitting, then a big burst of activity when free time finally hits. A long hike, a hard gym session, a pickup game, or a full day of yard work can feel productive..until your body reminds you it hasn't been building up to that load.
Injuries often happen when the demand suddenly outpaces what your joints and muscles are prepared for. When movement is inconsistent, your body has less chance to adapt. That can show up as tight hips, cranky low back, sore shoulders, or knee and ankle irritation-especially if your spine isn't moving as smoothly as it should.
Your spine supports balance, coordination and shock absorption. If spinal motion is restricted, other areas may work harder to stabilize you during activity. Want to stay active without the setbacks? A chiropractic check can help you move better, recover faster and keep your routine consistent.
