We are excited to announce we are Humboldt’s first and only clinic to have Shockwave therapy!!

What is shockwave?

Shockwave is a non-invasive therapy that utilizes acoustic waves to stimulate a local biological response in the treated tissue. This biological response includes a decrease in local pain sensation, muscle relaxation
, an increase in blood microcirculation resulting in local metabolism enhancement, and local trophic improvement.

What can shockwave be used for?

It can be used for a number of painful musculoskeletal, degenerative, and overuse conditions, such as:
-chronic tendinopathies
-trigger points
-myofascial pain syndrome
-plantar fasciitis
-chronic back pain
-burstitis
-arthritis
-calcifications
-chronic inflammations
-muscle spasm
-and much more

If you have any questions about shockwave therapy or how it can help you, give us a call!

Buzz Patches are back!! We also have Magic Patches again this year!!

The Magic Patches are also a sticker but help with the itch after said bite.

Are you dreaming of warmer days with all the snow over the weekend?

It’s never too early to start thinking about summer. A perfect place to start your fitness goals. Come out and support your local trails and enjoy a morning of fun.

Many people assume and are told they have tight hip flexors, and, in some instances, that’s true. But many have WEAK hip flexors that just feel tight. Stretching weak hip flexors may give temporary relief, but that won’t help you long term.
The Modified Thomas Test (2nd slide) can be used to determine if you have tight (shortened) hip flexors. If your leg does not raise off the table, but you experience feelings of tightness or pinching pain in the front of your hips, you need to STRENGTHEN your hip flexors.

Not just today, but every day mental health is important.

Find someone that you trust to talk to, and allow your mind and body to connect as one.

Too often we find that tension, headaches, pains, tingling, etc. resonate deeper than a musculoskeletal issue. If you need someone to talk to, we are always here for you 💙

Happy to be able to continue serving our community!!

We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!!!

We will be closed Monday and Tuesday and will resume normal office hours Wednesday, December 27th!

We will be in the clinic Monday and Tuesday this week to serve you before we go!!

This also applies to your neck, mid back, and any other joint in your body.
If you feel like you need to constantly be “cracking” your joints to get relief, it’s likely you’re missing STRENGTH and STABILITY in that region. Your body is letting you know there’s something wrong there by having that constant feeling of tension. Once you build up the stability in that region or adjacent areas, that tension will likely go away! So while adjustments or “cracking” do have their place and can provide relief, in the long term you benefit from building strength and stability.

If you have questions about this or would like help coming up with a plan to help you, please contact us!

BUILD YOUR CAPACITY

Now that the weather is (finally) nice, everyone is excited to get out and do more, which is great! But if you spent your winter sitting around not doing much, your body will need time to adapt and build back up to handle bigger stresses on it. So here’s your reminder that when you’re starting back up, whether it’s exercising or getting back in the garden, slow and steady wins the race!

Open Scissor Posture

Posture isn’t everything, but it does play a big role in how we move and what muscles get used. A common one we see in the clinic is this “open scissor” position, where ribs are flared and the pelvis is dumped forward. While this position isn’t inherently bad, if you’re stuck here and therefore can’t access your abs or glute muscles, you’ll end up overloading your back extensors and quad muscles along with creating poor breathing patterns and less than ideal distribution of intra-abdominal pressure.

Fixes:
- 360 degree diaphragmatic breathing
- cue “ribs down” (don’t over-correct and slouch)
- deadbug exercise variations

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us or book an appointment!

Initial and follow-up Chiropractic Exercise Assessments with Tom

These appointments are geared towards:

-athletes looking to increase strength, mobility, or speed, as well as trying to prevent future injury.
-the frequent gym-goer looking to increase their personal best, overcome injury, or feel unsure about their technique.
-the individual who is skeptical of starting to exercise because they don’t know where to start or how to do certain exercises.
-anyone looking to increase their resilience and body’s tolerance, and lead a healthier life.

During these appointments, we will discuss your goals, and together we will come up with a plan that can help you achieve those goals.

If you have any questions about how Dr. Tom can help you, please give us a call!

Come check out the first annual mental health expo at the uniplex tonight. We are here from 7-10pm

Motivational Monday!!

I had the privilege of listening to speak on Saturday (thanks to Conexus for inviting me). Her speech could not have played in more importantly to how we run our practice!

One of the biggest takeaways that I got from listening to her speak, is her equation: events(E) + response(R) = outcome(O).

If we apply this to health, there are times in our life where we experience pain, injury, trauma, etc. (E). Sometimes we sit there and feel sorry for ourselves, thinking “why did this happen to me? I will never get better”, and think our life is ending (R). This causes our outcome to be unfavorable, and we can go into a vicious chronic pain cycle or depression.

If we can teach anything to our patients, it’s to take autonomy for your own health and make your own change. Both Dr. Tom and I are always here to help you get out of pain and kickstart your healing journey, but in the end it is YOU who is responsible for your own health. So instead of thinking you are unlucky for getting hurt, think this is only going to make me stronger, healthier, and more aware of my body. YOU can do it, YOU will do it, and YOU will make change.

October 16th is World Spine Day!!
