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 Ross Asks some important questions of interest to Rockingham residents - Chiropractor Rockingham Dr Ross Asks...

Why are frequent visits advised when starting chiropractic care?
Consistent visits at the beginning of your chiropractic care help create the momentum necessary to correct and retrain unhealthy spinal patterns. Later, Rockingham patients find that continued care on a less frequent visit schedule can help preserve their progress and avoid a relapse.
Why are chiropractors wary of the germ theory?
Louis Pasteur originated the idea that germs caused disease. Yet, on his deathbed he recanted, declaring, "It's not the seed, but the soil." Meaning, it's not the germ that causes disease, but the condition of the body that allows the germ to thrive. Chiropractic care in our Rockingham office is designed to bolster your resistance so germs don't see you as a good host.
