Spring Into Motion: 5 Tips to Avoid Injury as You Get Active This Season

Spring Into Motion: 5 Tips to Avoid Injury as You Get Active This Season

As the weather warms up in Roanoke, many people are getting back to the activities they love—golf, running, hiking, and yard work. At Highland Spine + Sport, your trusted chiropractor in Roanoke, VA, we often see an increase in injuries this time of year. Why? Because people jump into activity too fast without proper preparation.

Here are 5 quick tips to stay injury-free this spring:

1. Warm Up First – Even 5-10 minutes of light movement and dynamic stretches can prepare your joints and muscles.
2. Don’t Overdo It – Start slow and increase activity levels gradually to avoid overuse injuries.
3. Hydrate & Fuel – Proper hydration and nutrition help your body recover and perform better.
4. Use Proper Form – Whether lifting, swinging a club, or hiking, body mechanics matter.
5. Listen to Your Body – Sharp or lingering pain is a sign it’s time to rest—or see a professional.

If you're experiencing nagging aches or tightness, don't wait until it becomes a bigger issue. Chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy, and functional rehab can help you move better and feel better fast.
