If you’ve noticed more aches, stiffness, or soreness during the summer months in you’re not alone. As chiropractors in Saginaw, Tx, we often see a spike in patients reporting new or worsening pain during June, July, and August. Whether you're a current patient maintaining regular care or someone searching for answers, this blog will break down why summer can aggravate misalignments—and what you can do about it.
1. Summer Heat Causes Inflammation to Flare
North Texas summers are no joke. As the temperature climbs into the 90s and beyond, your body naturally retains more fluid and expands blood vessels, which can increase inflammation. For those already dealing with spinal misalignment, nerve irritation, or old injuries, heat-driven inflammation can make existing discomfort more noticeable.
2. Increased Summer Activity = Increased Stress on Your Spine
From summer sports leagues in Fort Worth to yard work in your own backyard, activity levels tend to rise in the warmer months. While movement is essential, sudden increases in activity without proper spinal alignment can overload your nervous system.
We’ve seen a wave of new patients after:
Starting a new running or walking habit
Weekend boating or tubing at Lake Worth
Cleaning out the garage or starting DIY house projects
Traveling long hours in the car or plane
Chiropractic care helps your body adapt to these changes. If your spine and nervous system are out of balance, your body won’t recover as efficiently from physical stress, which can lead to soreness lasting days or even weeks.
3. Misalignments Are Often Silent Until They're Triggered
Many people carry misalignments (what we call subluxations) for months or years without obvious symptoms. Then summer comes along and that misalignment finally reaches its tipping point.
This is one reason we emphasize preventive and wellness-based chiropractic care at our clinic in Saginaw. Regular checks, even when you feel fine, allow us to catch and correct issues before they flare up.
What You Can Do to Stay Comfortable This Summer
Schedule a spinal check-up: Whether you're a returning patient or it's been a while, come in for an adjustment and re-evaluation.
Hydrate like it's your job: Water supports spinal discs and reduces inflammation. Aim for half your body weight in ounces of water per day.
Be smart with activity: Stretch before mowing, wear proper shoes at the lake, and ease into new workout routines.
Stay cool: Overheating amplifies pain. When possible, schedule outdoor tasks for the early morning or evening hours.
