    It’s hard to believe we’re nearly into October now, especially as the leaves haven’t been changing much yet, thanks to all this rain, but that will happen soon once the sun finally comes out again starting tomorrow from the sound of things and likewise many annual plants are dying out and ready to be cleared away.

    So today I’d like to give some advice on how to protect oneself while doing some of these seasonal tasks like cleaning out the garden as well as general fall cleanup.

    Like most physical tasks, especially ones you’ll be going at for a half hour or longer, it’s good to stretch and limber up before starting. When just limbering up, it doesn’t have to be anything fancy or detailed.

    Just as simple as toe touches, some marching steps, stretching each arm across your chest and then stretching them by reaching back, and (slowly and gently) turning the torso left and right. Just by limbering up, you’ll have less muscle fatigue and strain as well as lower risk of injuries like simple sprains.

     Just like in spring when starting gardens, using good and appropriate tools can help out quite a bit. If digging into the soil, the types of tools won’t change quite so much as long as you at least have a good spade and something to break up the soil, especially if it’s still thick and muddy. Also, while not so much a way to directly protect your spine, a sturdy pair of work gloves is arguably more important in autumn than in spring since you’re dealing with generally drier, harsher plants or other materials like wood. And of course as a chiropractor I personally like to be careful with protecting my hands. Not to mention,

when you’re worried about an obvious risk, you’re less concerned about a less obvious risk, and pulling and lifting without hand protection may make someone a bit less aware of how they’re pulling and lifting.

    Although most of that applies specifically to people clearing out gardens or other patches of their yards specifically, one thing that a lot of people will be doing if they have a yard at all is raking. Of the three best pieces of advice when it comes to raking, the first is to use a sort of rocking motion back and forth to pull the leaves toward you and go forward again for the next stroke.

     The second is applicable to most repetitive tasks in most aspects of life and that’s to switch sides when and if you’re able. If you start raking by leaning into your right side, do that for the first 10 minutes and then switch sides for, ideally, the next 10 minutes. Using the opposite side may feel a little awkward, so you may feel like switching back sooner, but alternating at all will help keep one side from getting overworked.         --------Finally, the third really is useful for the vast majority of prolonged, repetitive activities and that’s simply to take breaks when needed.       -----Usually around every half hour or so, take a quick 5 to 10 minute break before getting back to the same or similar activity.

    And as always, if you do injure yourself while clearing out the yard or garden for the season, have any other sort of injury, or just needing a tune-up before we get to winter, we are back to three doctors in the clinic eager to serve you. 2821 S Center Ave, jordechiropractic.com, 605-335-0880.

      Our hours are MWF 9-530 with a two hour gap for lunch at noon, TTh 9-1230,  and Saturday 9-noon.

Broad Coalition Urges South Dakotans to Vote No on Amendment I and Protect Medicaid Expansion

Press Event Highlights That More than 30,000 South Dakotans’ Health Coverage Would Be Put at Risk Should Latest Attempt to Undermine Will of Voters Pass

 

Sioux Falls, SD – A broad coalition of state health professionals, public health and patient advocacy groups, business and community leaders are urging South Dakotans to vote against constitutional Amendment I this November to preserve access to affordable, quality healthcare for tens of thousands of our friends, family and neighbors. 

 

The Vote No on Amendment I coalition held a press event today to highlight many problems with the proposed amendment, specifically that more than 30,000 South Dakotans who currently rely on Medicaid could lose their health insurance coverage should voters approve Amendment I. The latest attempt to undermine voter-mandated expansion of Medicaid would repeal the program if the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) drops even one percentage point below 90%, the current rate.

 

"The amendment creates an all-or-nothing approach: even a small reduction in the federal match could cause South Dakota to end Medicaid expansion entirely, putting coverage for more than 30,000 people at risk,” said Deb Fischer-Clemens, Vote No on Amendment I chair. “South Dakotans were clear with their vote in 2022. Healthcare is something that we all need and people working hard for low wages should not have to choose between seeing a doctor and the essentials required to survive day-to-day.”

 

Taking Medicaid expansion away would force many South Dakota families to choose between paying for healthcare and paying for groceries or rent. Impossible decisions like those would make life more difficult for hard-working people already living paycheck-to-paycheck.

 

South Dakotans enacted Medicaid expansion by an overwhelming vote in 2022 and know the quality, affordable health insurance coverage it provides helps people access the care they need, stay healthier and participate in the state’s thriving workforce. They know it protects individuals and families from devastating medical debt and helps keep rural hospital doors open. Medicaid expansion is linked to better health outcomes, including earlier cancer diagnoses, higher cancer survival rates, and prevention and treatment of heart disease and stroke. Amendment I risks all these benefits.

 

The Vote No on Amendment I coalition consists of individuals and patient advocacy organizations that include: the Community HealthCare Association of the Dakotas, AARP South Dakota, American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, American Heart Association, American Lung Association, Blood Cancer United, South Dakota Emergency Medical Association (SDEMSA), South Dakota Voices for Peace and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
