Many people say their joints can predict the weather. Is that a myth, or is there some truth to it?

FACT: Research suggests weather may be linked with modest changes in pain for some people, but it’s not a reliable forecast for everyone. Cold weather isn’t the whole story: cooler days can mean moving less, and muscles may feel stiffer when you’re less active.

As temperatures drop, try simple ways to keep your routine moving:
• Dress in layers for outdoor walks.
• Take brief indoor movement breaks.
• Ease into familiar activities with a gentle warm-up.
• Choose activities and routes that feel comfortable for you.

If discomfort is persistent or limiting, an individualized evaluation can help you discuss options suited to your needs. Call MidSouth Wellness Center at (901) 403-1312 to book an appointment.

Never change or stop prescribed medication without your prescriber’s guidance.

A yard full of leaves means repeated pulling, reaching, bending, and lifting, and that combination can leave the low back and shoulders feeling overworked. A 2026 analysis of CPSC data found that roughly 1 in 5 emergency-room visits related to leaf raking involved the back.

Make the work more manageable: switch sides as you rake, keep the rake close to your body, and work in short blocks with brief breaks. When gathering leaves, bend at your hips and knees, and avoid twisting while lifting or carrying a loaded bag. Smaller loads can also make the job easier to handle.

If discomfort is persistent, sharp, or limiting daily activities, consider an evaluation to help clarify what may be contributing. Chiropractic care or shockwave therapy may be options for selected concerns after an individualized evaluation.

Every generation has different movement needs, and family wellness starts with care that recognizes those differences.

Children and teens may need support related to posture, backpacks, sports, and screen time. Parents and active adults often manage work strain, lifting, and mobility concerns. Older adults may be focused on balance, comfort, and maintaining independence.

Family care does not mean the same treatment for everyone. Each person should receive an individualized evaluation and care plan. Chiropractic care can work alongside a child’s pediatrician or an adult’s primary care provider, not replace them. Because evidence for pediatric spinal manipulation is limited, families should speak with their child’s pediatrician before considering care.

Pickleball is everywhere, and more active adults are asking how to keep playing comfortably while caring for their shoulders, knees and ankles.

A few practical reminders:
• Warm up before you play, including gentle shoulder, hip, knee and ankle movements.
• Increase court time and intensity gradually, especially after a break.
• Wear supportive shoes suited for court movement.
• Pay attention to aches that persist, worsen, cause swelling, limit motion or change the way you move.

You do not have to wait until discomfort sidelines you. An individualized evaluation can help identify contributing factors and guide appropriate care. Depending on your needs, chiropractic care may be part of a personalized plan. Shockwave therapy may also be considered for selected tendon concerns when clinically appropriate.

Our goal is to support your health and help you make informed decisions about staying active, without promises or a one-size-fits-all approach.

If shoulder, knee or ankle discomfort is affecting your game, contact MidSouth Wellness Center at (901) 403-1312 to schedule an evaluation. Serving active adults and families throughout the MidSouth area.
