There’s no denying the beauty of autumn in Mantua, NJ. But while the falling leaves create postcard-perfect scenery, they also create back-breaking chores. At Coniglio Chiropractic Wellness Center, we help patients stay pain-free through every season—especially during raking season!
Protect Your Spine While You Rake
- Stretch first: Warm up with 10–15 minutes of movement and stretches like knee-to-chest, trunk rotations, and side bends.
- Switch stances: Use a “scissor” stance—one foot forward, then alternate.
- Keep your posture upright: Don’t hunch your back. Keep your chin up and shoulders relaxed.
- Bend with your knees: Never bend at the waist to pick up leaves or lift bags.
- Use your body: When pushing mowers or heavy tools, engage your whole body, not just your arms.
- Start smart: When pulling a mower cord, bend and rise in one smooth motion—don’t twist.
- Stay hydrated and protected: Wear a hat, gloves, good shoes, and eye protection. Use a mask if you have allergies.
- Choose ergonomic tools: Tools designed to reduce strain can save your back.
- Ice if needed: Use cold packs after the work if you feel sore.
Don’t Let Autumn Be a Pain in the Back
Leaf season doesn’t have to mean pain season. If you experience discomfort that doesn’t ease up after a few days, our Mantua, NJ chiropractic team is here to help. We’ll assess your spine, relieve muscle tension, and give you the tools to stay strong all season long.

For Your Health,
Dr. Barry Coniglio
