As spring returns to Huntington Beach, many of us are heading outdoors. From backyard planting to community projects, it’s time to dig in. But while gardening feeds the soul, it can be surprisingly tough on your body.
Hours spent bending, lifting, and kneeling often lead to nagging pain in your back, shoulders, and wrists. And if your posture’s off, those repetitive motions may do more harm than good. That’s why our team of chiropractors helps gardeners stay active and pain-free with chiropractic care that supports natural alignment.
Restore Balance Before You Feel the Strain
Gardening works muscles you might not use every day. Even small tasks like raking or pruning could trigger discomfort without proper posture and joint support.
We use Advanced BioStructural Correction™ (ABC) to address hidden postural imbalances that may limit mobility. ABC helps your body move more freely, reducing strain so you can garden more easily and with less risk of injury.
“People don’t always connect gardening with back pain, but we see it all the time,” says Dr. Reynoso. “Getting aligned before you start can make a huge difference.”
Tools Designed for Outdoor Enthusiasts
Our care goes beyond adjustments. We bring together therapies designed to help your body handle outdoor activity and bounce back quickly:
- Massage Therapy to soothe tight muscles
- Physical Therapy for core strength and joint support
- Shockwave & Laser Therapy to target inflammation and aches
- Postural Exercises to protect your spine while you work
We also love helping people connect with their community. If you’re looking for local inspiration, the California Native Garden at Golden West College is a beautiful place to learn about sustainable landscaping. Or explore the Shipley Nature Center, where volunteers help restore natural habitats right here in Huntington Beach.
