Even the most cautious people can experience injuries, even at home. If you head outside to garden or do yardwork, you might have let your guard down for just an instant, resulting in a serious injury or accident.

Sorell-Iversen Chiropractic Clinic in Manhattan offers a variety of treatment options for those who suffer from gardening and yardwork injuries. While prevention may be the best medicine, seeing a chiropractor can prevent secondary injuries after you've already become injured.

Straining and Pulling Muscles

The back, shoulders, and hips are all likely to become strained or pulled when you are working in the yard. This can happen when you bend, dig, or push something. If you have not stretched appropriately before working in the garden, this injury is much more likely.

Falls

If your yardwork often leads you to use ladders or stools, a fall is not out of the realm of possibility. After a fall, a professional can help you walk and move normally with the help of physical therapy and corrective exercises. Cold laser therapy is also often beneficial.

Burns and Cuts

When you work outside, there are plenty of ways in which you could be burned or cut. You might get burned trying to work the lawnmower, or you might get cut trying to change out a dull blade. If you have lasting injuries, like scar tissue, after one of these injuries, pain relief and further injury prevention may come in the form of active release therapy and physical therapy.
