🦟 Lyme Disease Awareness: What You Need to Know

🔍 Watch for symptoms:
Fever
Fatigue
Headache
Muscle & joint aches
A red bull’s-eye rash (Erythema migrans)

⏰ Early detection is key! Left untreated, Lyme disease can lead to long-term joint, heart, and nervous system problems.

✅ Protect yourself:
Wear long sleeves & pants when outdoors
Use tick repellents with DEET or permethrin
Do a full body tick check after time in grassy or wooded areas
Remove ticks promptly & properly

📅 Tick season peaks in warmer months—but awareness is important year-round.

Let’s stay safe and spread awareness. 💚 Below is our Lymes disease protocol. Available at our Medford location and can be ordered through our Abbotsford location.

🍁 Don’t Let Raking Wreck Your Back! 🍂
Fall is beautiful, but all that raking? Not so much for your spine.
Here are a few quick tips to stay safe while tackling those leaves:

✅ Warm Up First – A few minutes of stretching can help prevent injury.
✅ Use the Right Rake – Choose one that fits your height to avoid hunching.
✅ Switch Sides – Alternate your hands every few minutes to balance the strain.
✅ Don’t Twist – Move your feet instead of twisting your back.
✅ Take Breaks – Raking is a workout—pace yourself!

If you feel stiff or sore after yard work, chiropractic care can help restore alignment and ease tension.
