Are all patients adjusted the same way?

    A common question that is asked from patients is if everyone is adjusted the same way and the short answer is no! Each patient’s spine and care plan is unique. Each individual patient is analyzed and examined for his or her age, condition and health goals. There are a wide variety of spinal patterns.  There are several different chiropractic techniques and philosophies to choose from which will accommodate different types of people. In general, most patients get chiropractic care depending on their needs.  Proper tests and exams followed by a series of x-rays on the initial consultation help guide the chiropractor to the sources of the spinal problem.  Some adjusting methods can produce a “popping” sound when the gas and fluids in the joint shift. The sound is interesting, but it is not a guide to the quality or value of the chiropractic treatment.

Is Your Computer Damaging Your Posture?

Is Your Computer Damaging Your Posture? 

This is how you can maintain good posture while working on the computer 

Since online school and working from home has become our new norm here are a few tips and tricks to maintain good posture. One of the most common postural issues is forward head posture, some of the many things that lead to forward head posture is computer ergonomics, video games, and backpacks. Positioning computer screens too low leads to looking down and  moving the head forward to read the screen. To avoid forward head posture, you will need to reposition your work area. Start by keeping hips, knees, and elbows at 90 degrees. Along with having the computer screen just above eye level and having your keyboard close to your bellybutton with your elbows on an armrest. Keeping your back upright with a pillow supporting the curve in your low back is key. Every 20-30 minutes, sit up straight and pull the neck and head back over the shoulders.

How Chiropractic Care Can  Be The Answer To Opioid Epidemic 

Addiction to opioid pain killers has been one of the top concerns in both the medical field and government. The number one reason an MD may prescribe an opioid pain killer is because of BACK PAIN! Most patients tend to rush to medical doctors when they have pain, they want relief and expect medications to do the magic. The pressure for instant relief leads many doctors to prescribe opioid pain medications despite the known issue of opioid addictions. After the short term relief these patients experience, they start going around different doctors hoping for another prescription even though their primary issues is being untreated. The worst part of all is that many of the conditions they "treat" with opioids can be treated and resolved fully with chiropractic care and physical rehabilitation.Chiropractic treatment is a proven tool for pain management. Regular adjustments help to realign the spine and prevent permanent damage to bones and soft tissue. Techniques such as spinal manipulation, therapeutic massage, deep tissue techniques, and electronic stimulation release endorphins that help to block pain receptors in the brain as well as realign the systems of the body. Call today and get your body on track through regular chiropractic care!
