Preventing Injury During Outdoor Activities

sport

If you are looking forward to participating in outdoor activities this year, you're not alone. Each year millions of Americans go camping, hiking, and participate in outdoor sports. Unfortunately, these activities also lead to thousands of injuries. There are plenty of ways to protect yourself and your loved ones throughout the year as you venture outdoors. Try these suggestions to keep everyone safe. We at Millar Chiropractic Clinics in Madison, AL, and Huntsville, AL, know all about chiropractic care and preventing injury during outdoor activities such as low back pain, neck pain, knee pain, or any other personal injury.

Personal Injury Prevention

Make sure to stay hydrated: Bring at least one bottle of water per person per hour that you plan to be outside, even if it isn't particularly hot. If this is too much to carry, plan breaks to return to your car or make sure that water will be available where you are traveling so that you can refill your bottle.

Be aware of your safety restrictions: Follow the safety rules of any venue that you visit. While semi-restrictive, these rules are posted for a reason. Park rangers and program staff are more aware of potential dangers in an area than you.

Be careful around your own home: Most outdoor injuries occur in the front or back yards of personal residences. Take the time to remove tripping hazards to make your home as safe as you reasonably can.

Be aware of water: Outdoor activities that involve swimming pools or natural bodies of water carry a risk of drowning. Be aware of your surroundings and know the water capabilities of everyone in your party. Do not allow young children to be without supervision around any type of water they can drown in.
