Spring Yard Clean Up

SPRING IS HERE

Are you ready to get outside and start taking advantage of the warmer temperatures? We understand, but would also like to offer some reminders before your hard work leads to some pain or even injury.

Knuckle Up When Raking:

  • Arms are close to the body causing less wear and tear on your shoulders.
  • More power for raking or sweeping heavy piles when pushing with your body. 

Heavy Lifting:

  • Use good body mechanics, especially when picking up heavy items like mulch or topsoil.

Our Story

WHY WE ARE HERE

This month we decided to take time to tell our story. It’s been a while since we’ve done this and it’s important to us that our patients understand why we are here and why we are passionate about helping each person with their wellness goals and journey.

DR. DONKIN’S STORY

Dr. Donkin grew up in Fremont, Nebraska. He was an active athlete until he had a back injury and was told by the doctors that he would not be completely cured. He was then introduced to a chiropractor, who helped heal his back, and from then on, Dr. Donkin was inspired to act on changing his lifestyle for a better life. Forty-four years later, he still has never needed back surgery, and he has been a very active individual, showing no signs of slowing down. Dr. Donkin would like to educate and help others who are in a similar situation, and this led to his career of being an experienced chiropractor, as well as a published author, lecturer, and consultant.

With over 35 years of experience as a chiropractor, Dr. Scott Donkin started Donkin Chiropractic with the sole purpose of helping and educating people. Our services revolve around the process of getting you out of pain, into health, and ultimately on to wellness. As a result, we don’t just help you relieve your pain, but we also want to nurse you into a healthy lifestyle that you want to and will maintain.

Working From Home?

WORKING FROM HOME

Scores of my patients as well as millions more are now working from home.  

Teachers, students, attorneys in financial services, and many others are trying their best to remain productive in make-shift home workstations.

Even though an entire book could be written about setting up homework stations, here are three recommendations that many of my ‘ work-from-home patients have found helpful.  I would make many different recommendations in the traditional workplace setting but we are in a novel time right now and we must successfully adapt to new circumstances at this time.

The majority of the people I know are using a laptop at home so with this in mind consider the following:

Pick your best spot at home.

Fall Clean Up

FALL CLEAN UP

It may still be warm outside, but cooler breezes and lows at night are telling us that fall is in motion! With fall comes leaves dropping, garden, first frosts, plants dying first, and preparation for the winter months ahead. For many, fall clean-up is a necessary task during these seasonal months, and now is the time to think, prepare and commit to doing those clean-up tasks the correct way.

The highest bone in the neck is the ‘atlas’ and is named after the Titan god Atlas. He was charged with holding up the sky – our humble neck bone was thought to hold up our whole head, and so aptly named.

Hot to Cold Shock

/in

HOT TO COLD

Air conditioning is a wonderful and modern convenience we find everywhere from our homes to commercial properties. Generally, we can mostly avoid hot summer temperatures altogether on some days. If you are running errands, attending a baseball game, at the pool, or enjoying a family picnic or reunion, you may have to weather hot temps. As you transition from hot to cold this can be stressful for your body.

There are a number of reasons for this:

  • Transitioning from hot into cold temperatures can make the muscles in the temples very stiff and achy and can also cause an increase in jaw clenching, and neck tightening.
  • Breathing in cold air through the nose and mouth can be irritating to the sinuses and throat and lead to headaches, especially if you are spending significant amounts of time outdoors and then transition indoors.

The good news is that there are methods and treatments for all of these situations and the issues that may arise from them. Give us a call today and let us help you get through these chilling seasonal woes!
