Lightning Safety

It avoids the ocean, but likes Florida. It's attracted to the Himalayas and even more so to central Africa. And either lightning is attracted to testosterone, or men spend an inordinate amount of time outdoors swinging metal objects. Because men are four times more likely to be struck by lightning than women.

When you hear thunder, you are already within the range where the next ground flash may occur. Most lightning injuries can be avoided by taking a few precautionary measures:

  1. Find shelter before the storm hits. Lightning is present in all thunderstorms and can strike up to 10 miles away from the rain that usually accompanies a storm.

  2. Seek shelter in a building or a car. Avoid being near any tall objects that could help conduct the lightning, such as a tree, flagpole or similar items.

  3. Lightning can still pose a risk when you are indoors. Turn off appliances, disconnect sensitive electronic equipment and avoid using the telephone.

  4. Obviously, avoid high ground, open water and being near metal objects such as golf clubs, fences or tools.

Dr. Fowler Asks some important questions of interest to Rowlett residents - Chiropractor Rowlett Dr. Fowler Asks...

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
Is average normal or is normal average?
Every chiropractor knows that so-called "normal" is merely an average. What's normal for you may not be normal for anyone else. So the chiropractic approach to better health is to tailor our approach to the unique needs of each of our Rowlett practice members.
