Fall in Green Bay means one thing: Packers season is here! There’s nothing quite like the energy at Lambeau Field on game day, especially the sea of raucous Cheesehead fans filling the stands. Whether you’re a longtime season ticket holder or finally making that bucket list trip, all that standing, walking, and serious tailgating can take a toll on the body.
Game day is definitely sacred around here, and the last thing you want is back pain ruining your celebration.
Your Body Needs a Pregame Warm-Up Too
On game day, you’re going to be on your feet for hours, hauling coolers, setting up chairs, and tailgating. Your spine deserves the same prep attention you give to picking out your lucky jersey.
Remember to hydrate too. Water keeps your joints moving smoothly and muscles flexible, which is crucial when you’re navigating packed parking lots and stadium stairs.
Stadium Seating Strategy
Let’s talk about those bleachers. Lambeau’s got history, but comfort? Not exactly. Spending three hours hunched forward or craning your neck to see around the person in front of you is a recipe for neck and back strain.
What to do? Pack smart: bring a small cushion or fold up your jacket for lower back support. Stand and stretch during timeouts when you can. Your spine will feel good, and you’ll have more energy for the fourth quarter come back game-winning drive!
Keep the Whole Family in the Game
If you’re bringing the kids, think chiropractic-friendly from the start. Let them walk instead of carrying them long distances, and pack lighter bags to avoid awkward lifting situations. Small adjustments make the whole day more comfortable for everyone.
When the Final Whistle Blows
If game day leaves you stiff or sore, Dr. Leah and the Turning Point Chiropractic team are ready to help you recover quickly so you can get back to cheering on the Pack.
