New research has shed light on the critical role of movement in our health. For instance, spine movement has been found to stimulate and expedite the healing process. Movement is so integral to healing that even individuals undergoing spine surgery are encouraged to mobilize as soon as possible post-surgery.

• The bones, muscles, ligaments, and joints of your spine are designed to support daily movement.��

• Movement enhances blood flow, strength, and flexibility.

• The movement of individual spine segments can influence the healing process.

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become weak and brittle as you get older.

Every day your body absorbs and replaces bone tissue. With osteoporosis, new bone creation doesn't keep up with old bone removal. So over time, your bones become hollow and weak.
Many people have no symptoms of osteoporosis until they have a bone fracture.

Weight-bearing exercise and a healthy diet are important to help prevent bone loss or strengthen already weak bones. We've worked with many people who have osteoporosis. We have low-force techniques that are extremely safe and effective and are happy to guide you toward an appropriate exercise program to keep your bones as strong and healthy as possible.

Whiplash is an injury that occurs when your body suddenly moves backward and then forward. These types of injuries are estimated to occur in over 50% of car accidents, but you can also get whiplash injuries from sports or by tripping and falling.

Signs and symptoms of whiplash usually develop within days of the injury, and may include:

- Neck pain and stiffness
- Worsening of pain with neck movement
- Loss of range of motion in the neck
- Headaches, most often starting at the base of the skull
- Tenderness or pain in the shoulder, upper back or arms
- Tingling or numbness in the arms
- Fatigue

Getting the proper evaluation, diagnosis, and care for whiplash injuries is incredibly important. Nearly half of people with chronic neck or back pain can trace it back to an old whiplash injury. Need an evaluation for a new (or old) whiplash injury? Call us today!

Your body is inherently designed for movement. Every spinal disc and joint plays a crucial role in supporting various activities such as sitting, standing, running, and moving. The discs are flexible enough to bend forward and backward, the spinal facet joints enable sliding movements during turns and twists, and ligaments connect spinal bones to provide support while muscles exert force. This system is remarkably strong and resilient when you pause to consider its complexity and functionality. 💪

Even though it happens all the time, there still is a lot of confusion around disc herniations. A disc herniation refers to a problem with one of the cartilage cushions (discs) that sit between the bones (vertebrae) of your spine.

A spinal disc has a soft center (nucleus) encased in a tougher, rubbery exterior (annulus). Sometimes called a slip or rupture, a herniated disc occurs when some of the nucleus pushes out through a tear in the annulus. This can result in pain right where the herniation has happened, or pain that travels along a nerve to your arms or legs.

If you've been diagnosed with a disc herniation (or multiple herniations), don't stress- give us a call today!

The spinal cord is a crucial part of the central nervous system, responsible for transmitting sensory information from the body to the brain and motor signals from the brain to the body. The speed at which these signals travel along the spinal cord is incredibly fast, estimated to be over 250 miles per hour (or about 400 kilometers per hour).

This rapid transmission allows for quick reflex responses to stimuli and ensures that the brain receives timely and accurate information about the body's condition and surroundings. Such efficiency in communication between the spinal cord and brain is essential for everyday movements, coordination, and overall bodily function.

Three highly effective natural solutions for headaches include magnesium, chiropractic care, and B vitamins. Low levels of magnesium have been associated with migraine headaches, and supplementing with magnesium can reduce their occurrence without the side effects often linked to painkillers. B vitamins are known to alleviate stress and enhance mood, making them a natural remedy for stress-related headaches. Additionally, postural changes and muscle tension are significant contributors to migraines. Chiropractic care has proven effective in reducing the frequency, severity, and duration of headaches. Together, these solutions form a winning trifecta for headache relief!

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spaces in your spine, which can put pressure on the nerves that travel to your arms and legs. Spinal stenosis occurs most often in the lower back and the neck.

A few of the common symptoms of spinal stenosis include:

- Pain
- Tingling
- Numbness
- Muscle weakness

These symptoms can slowly worsen over time and are often caused by osteoarthritis. Chiropractors can work with your body to decrease inflammation and open up as much space as possible to reduce the pressure on your spinal cord and nerves. For many people, this provides an incredible amount of relief.

Ironically, one of the most common causes of headaches is the medication typically prescribed to treat them. Overusing over-the-counter medications often leads to rebound headaches, making pills a less optimal treatment choice. Many tension headaches originate from repetitive motions and poor posture while sitting or standing at work. Maintaining proper shoulder positioning and spinal alignment throughout the day can help prevent future episodes. Additionally, several common foods and substances like coffee, cheese, alcohol, and certain meats contain compounds that can trigger headaches. While eliminating them isn't necessary, moderation is recommended.

Life can be busy and stressful, right? If so, you might find yourself experiencing increasingly frequent and severe headaches. These chronic headaches could be linked to issues such as poor sleep quality, nutritional deficiencies, or even postural problems, creating a cycle of daily discomfort. Recognizing these signs as a call for attention is crucial.
