Check out Pioneer Chiropractic’s blog post, "The Weighty Issue: Protecting Your Child’s Spine from Heavy Backpacks".

**🧹 The Dos and Don’ts of Spring Cleaning! 🌿**

Spring is finally here, and it’s the perfect time to refresh your home! But before you dive into your deep clean, make sure you’re taking care of your body, too. At **Pioneer Chiropractic**, we want to help you avoid unnecessary strain while tackling those dust bunnies.

# # # ✅ **DO:**
✔ **Use proper lifting techniques** – Bend at your knees, not your back, when moving heavy furniture.
✔ **Stretch before and after cleaning** – Simple stretches can prevent stiffness and soreness.
✔ **Take breaks** – Cleaning for hours can lead to fatigue and poor posture. Rest every 30-45 minutes.
✔ **Use the right tools** – Long-handled dusters and ergonomic mops help reduce back strain.
✔ **Keep hydrated** – Staying hydrated keeps your muscles and joints functioning properly.

# # # ❌ **DON’T:**
🚫 **Twist and turn abruptly** – Move your whole body instead of twisting your spine.
🚫 **Overload your vacuum or mop bucket** – Lifting heavy items improperly can cause injuries.
🚫 **Ignore pain** – If you feel discomfort, stop and stretch. Pain is your body’s way of saying "slow down."
🚫 **Use poor posture** – Avoid hunching over while scrubbing floors or washing windows.
🚫 **Forget self-care** – A chiropractic adjustment can help realign your spine and relieve tension post-cleaning!

🏡 A clean home is great, but a healthy body is even better! If spring cleaning has left you feeling sore, we’ve got your back – literally.
