Hey everyone, welcome back to the Kuns Chiropractic podcast. I’m Dr. Kuns, and today we’re diving into how to stay active and injury-free this winter.
When it gets cold outside, it’s tempting to hibernate. But staying active is one of the best things you can do for your spine, your joints, and your overall health. The key is adjusting your routine to match the season.
First — always warm up. Cold muscles are more prone to strains and sprains. Even a few minutes of gentle movement indoors before you head outside can prepare your body for activity.
Second — watch your footing. Snow and ice increase your risk of slips and falls. Invest in footwear with good grip, and take shorter, more controlled steps when walking outdoors.
If you’re hitting the slopes, snowshoeing, or even just shoveling your driveway — use proper form and take breaks. Overexertion in the cold can lead to back injuries, joint pain, or muscle spasms.
At Kuns Chiropractic, we see a lot of winter-related issues, from spinal misalignments after falls to stiff necks and backs from poor posture and cold-weather tension. Chiropractic adjustments help restore mobility, reduce inflammation, and support your body’s natural healing.
Don’t let winter slow you down. Stay active and stay aligned. Call Kuns Chiropractic at or visit kuns chiropractic .com to schedule an appointment today.
