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. Vic Asks some important questions of interest to Corona residents - Chiropractor Corona Dr. Vic Asks...

What is the significance of "growing pains?"
Chiropractors know that aches or pains at any age mean something's not right. In fact, many children go through stages of growth without aches or pains. So while "growing pains" may be common, they're not normal. That's why our Corona chiropractic practice sees lots of children. A chiropractic checkup for your child can often help detect and correct problems that are more difficult to correct in Corona adults.
Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a Corona chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
