As the Fall season deepens, Wolfe Family Chiropractic is dedicated to helping you make the most of this beautiful season while staying healthy and active. During the Fall months, we tend to see a large number of injuries related to some favorite Michigan pastimes. 

Leaf-Raking Comfort:
Autumn in Michigan wouldn't be complete without the annual leaf-raking ritual. However, the repetitive motion of raking leaves can strain your back and shoulders. To avoid discomfort and potential injuries, consider these tips:
-Begin with a short warm-up and gentle stretching.
-Alternate which side you work from while raking to distribute the workload evenly.
-Consider using leaf blowers, lawn vacuums, or local lawncare companies/teens for your fall clean-up.
-Be cautious when handling wet leaves, as they can be heavy and increase the strain on your back.

Pain-Free Hunting:

With hunting season upon us, it's time to prepare for outdoor adventures. Whether you're in a tree stand or involved in game cleaning and dragging, keep these pointers in mind:

-After hours of stillness during the hunt, stretch before jumping into any rigorous movement to prevent muscle strains.
-When dragging game, utilize assistance and proper lifting techniques. Take frequent breaks to ensure you aren't over-taxing your cardiovascular system.
-Prioritize safety by using well-maintained safety harnesses in tree stands.
-Familiarize yourself with the location of holes/rocks/obstacles to minimize fall risks in low-light conditions.
