In the 1990s, aggressive marketing led many medical doctors to prescribe opioids for pain, often downplaying the risks. This resulted in long-term prescriptions for mild to moderate pain, contributing to the epidemic we face today. However, there is a solution. The first step is understanding the true impact of opioids and chronic pain. The next step is to connect with a movement-based practice like ours to explore long-term relief without relying on these dangerous medications.🤝

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!

The rapid prescribing of opioids leads to several issues. First, patients quickly develop tolerance, requiring increasingly larger doses to achieve the same effect. Second, these drugs are not very effective for managing chronic pain; they provide only short-term relief and become less effective over time. Finally, the euphoric effects of opioids often lead to addiction.

Chiropractic adjustments can alter brain chemistry, leading to effects like endorphin release, pain relief, and increased strength. The brain and body communicate constantly through the nervous system, with the spinal cord transmitting information at speeds over 250 mph. Adjustments to the neck or back have shown to positively influence brain function, offering relief and enhancing overall well-being. 😊

Over 80% of people experience low back pain, making it the leading cause of disability worldwide. The good news is that surgery is rarely the only—or best—option. Leading healthcare organizations recommend conservative care, such as chiropractic, as the first line of treatment. If back pain is holding you back, we’re here to help you get back 😉 on track.

Spondylolisthesis is a spinal disorder in which a bone (vertebra) slips forward onto the bone below it.

Spondylolisthesis risk factors include high-impact sports, such as gymnastics and football. Genetics may put some people at increased risk. Spondylolisthesis is a condition that can create spine instability, which means the vertebrae move more than they should. Slippage and instability can put pressure on your spinal nerves, which could cause lower back pain or leg pain.

The word spondylolisthesis (pronounced spohn-di-low-less-THEE-sis) comes from the Greek words spondylos, which means "spine" or "vertebra," and listhesis, which means "slipping, sliding or movement." In many cases, spondylolisthesis can be successfully treated conservatively with chiropractic care. Call us today to find out how and schedule an appointment!

If a disc issue is affecting your mobility, contact us today to explore natural options for relief.

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.

Staying Well with Chiropractic Has Never Been Easier!�Research shows that regular maintenance chiropractic care leads to better long-term outcomes and may help prevent future episodes of back pain. Interested in learning how you can benefit? Give us a call today! 📞

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.

🌟 Why Non-Surgical Options Are a Game-Changer for Those 45 and Up 🌟

Hey ABLE Community! 😊 If you’re 45 or older, and considering whether surgery is the right path for you, I wanted to share some insights that might help you make a more informed decision.

We all know that surgery can be a big deal—sometimes it feels like the only option for addressing joint or muscle issues. But did you know there are fantastic non-surgical treatments available that might be worth considering? Here’s why they can be a game-changer:

1️⃣ Lower Risk of Complications: Surgery often comes with risks like infections, blood clots, and anesthesia reactions. Non-surgical treatments can help you avoid these potential complications, making your recovery safer and smoother.

2️⃣ Faster Recovery Time: Who wants to spend weeks or months recovering from surgery? Non-surgical options typically mean a quicker return to your daily activities. Imagine getting back to doing what you love without the long downtime!

3️⃣ Minimized Pain and Discomfort: Let’s face it—surgery can be pretty painful, and recovery isn’t always comfortable. Many non-surgical methods, such as laser therapy, offer relief without the intense post-op pain, letting you feel better sooner.

4️⃣ Lower Cost: Surgery can be expensive—think about the costs of the procedure itself, hospital stays, and aftercare. Non-surgical treatments often come at a fraction of the cost, helping you keep your finances in check.

5️⃣ Preservation of Natural Function: One of the best things about non-surgical options is that they can help you maintain the natural function of your joints and muscles. This means you’re not just treating the problem—you’re also preserving your body’s overall functionality.

Choosing non-surgical treatments can be a smarter, safer, and more comfortable way to address your health concerns. If you’re exploring your options, consider these benefits and chat with your healthcare provider about what might be best for you. Here’s to making informed choices and staying healthy! 💪✨

Hi, Dr. Brian here,

For individuals aged 45 and older, opting for non-surgical treatments can be a wise decision for numerous reasons. First, non-surgical options significantly reduce the risk of complications such as infections and adverse reactions to anesthesia, promoting a safer overall experience. They also offer faster recovery times, allowing patients to resume their daily activities more swiftly and with minimal downtime. Additionally, these treatments often involve less pain and discomfort compared to invasive procedures, enhancing patient comfort throughout the process. From a financial perspective, non-surgical treatments are typically more cost-effective, avoiding the high expenses associated with surgeries and hospital stays. Lastly, preserving the natural function of your joints and muscles is often more achievable with non-surgical methods, which can help maintain your quality of life and minimize the need for future interventions. Embracing non-surgical approaches can lead to a more efficient, economical, and comfortable path to recovery.

Mark's New Beginning

Mark's first visit to ABLE Chiropractic was unlike any he had experienced before. Walking into the clinic, he was greeted with a warmth and respect that had been missing from his previous encounters. There was no condescension or skepticism, just a genuine desire to understand and help.

Dr. Brian Smith, the clinic’s leading practitioner, immediately put Mark at ease. They quickly bonded over shared passions—hockey, running, and the joys of staying active in their 40s and 50s. Mark felt a spark of connection he hadn’t felt in months. Here was someone who didn’t see him as just a patient with a failing knee, but as a person who had lived a vibrant life and wanted to reclaim it.

As they reviewed Mark’s X-rays and past medical records, Dr. Brian’s approach was both meticulous and empathetic. He conducted a new set of X-rays and performed a thorough physical exam. When he looked up at Mark with a reassuring smile, it felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off Mark’s shoulders.

“You don’t need knee replacement surgery right now,” Dr. Brian said confidently. “There’s a high likelihood of recovery with our treatment options here.”

Mark’s heart swelled with a mix of relief and excitement. For the first time in months, he felt a genuine surge of hope. He had braced himself for another letdown, but it never came. Dr. Brian detailed a comprehensive treatment plan, including Class IV laser therapy, red light therapy, and PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy. Mark was impressed by Dr. Brian’s knowledge and his clear commitment to a patient-centric approach.

“This is your choice,” Dr. Brian said, his tone encouraging. “Surgery is always an option down the line, but why not exhaust all other treatments first?”

Mark decided to take the leap. He embraced the prescribed treatments with dedication, attending each session with a renewed sense of purpose. The changes came slowly but steadily. After just six sessions, the persistent ache in his knee began to diminish. Climbing stairs felt manageable again, and a new energy seemed to infuse his daily life. Mark felt an emotional lift with every improvement, each session a testament to his progress.

Dr. Brian and his team became more than just caregivers; they became friends and cheerleaders. The support and encouragement Mark received made each visit feel like a step towards a brighter future. It was surprising to him that the clinic wasn’t always bustling with patients—he realized it was a haven for those who valued personalized care and genuine progress.

Months passed, and Mark’s life began to resemble the vibrant one he had cherished. He returned to jogging, biking, and swimming, relishing the freedom of movement he thought he had lost. Yet, as life often unfolds, his wife began to experience shoulder pain from tennis. Without hesitation, Mark recommended ABLE Chiropractic, eager for her to receive the same compassionate care that had transformed his own life.

Together, they embarked on a new journey, this time with Mark by his wife’s side. The support and hope that ABLE Chiropractic had given him now extended to her, and Mark felt a deep sense of gratitude for the clinic and its team.

In the end, Mark’s journey was not just about healing his knee; it was about rediscovering hope, reclaiming his life, and finding a community that truly cared. The road was paved with challenges, but with each step forward, he embraced the promise of new beginnings.

As Mark and his wife ventured into their next chapter, he looked back with a heart full of appreciation. The story of his recovery was a reminder that sometimes, the greatest victories come from persevering and finding the right support along the way.

Over the past century, scientists and doctors have made strides in understanding the brain-body connection, but there's much more to learn. Aging, healing, and life experiences hinge on how well your brain and body communicate. Daily engagement and movement can support a healthy life. If pain has hindered your activity, schedule an evaluation with us for personalized care. Let's work together to enhance your well-being.

Mark's Story Continued

Mark’s life had become a quiet struggle. The vibrant, active existence he once knew was now marred by chronic knee pain and the constant drumbeat of medical advice pointing toward knee replacement surgery. Despite his best efforts, the cortisone shots provided only fleeting relief, and each physical therapist he saw echoed the same grim prognosis: surgery was inevitable.

His evenings, once filled with laughter and activity, were now spent in quiet frustration. One night, as his wife read beside him, Mark found himself aimlessly scrolling through Facebook. The feed was a parade of his friends’ adventures—sports games, family gatherings, travel stories. Each post was a painful reminder of the life he was missing. The impulse to close the app and escape the bitterness of jealousy grew stronger with every scroll.

But then, amidst the stream of enviable snapshots, a Facebook ad caught his eye. It promised a non-invasive treatment option for chronic pain with a low-risk discovery visit. Mark’s skepticism was tempered by a sliver of hope. He had navigated through numerous clinics, each with its own set of recommendations and limitations, but this seemed different. The clinic’s offer of a low-cost, introductory appointment piqued his curiosity.

Determined not to let hope slip away, Mark dove into research. He found ABLE Chiropractic’s website, which led him to their YouTube channel. What he saw there was remarkable—an array of patient testimonials, each one a story of recovery and renewal. These were real people, regaining their lives through the very treatments he had nearly given up on.

The stories of transformation resonated deeply with Mark. He had seen his share of success stories, but this was different. There was something genuine in the way these individuals spoke of their experiences. They seemed to have found what he had been searching for—a chance to reclaim their lives without the need for invasive surgery.

Mark made the call to ABLE Chiropractic, setting up his initial appointment. At $47, it was a small investment compared to the hundreds of dollars spent on previous treatments. The clinic's approach was refreshing, promising a tailored solution rather than a one-size-fits-all prognosis.

When the day of the appointment arrived, Mark walked into the clinic with a mix of hope and trepidation. The staff greeted him warmly, and the consultation was thorough and compassionate. The clinic’s focus on individualized care and their commitment to exploring all possible non-invasive treatments gave Mark a renewed sense of optimism.

Weeks turned into months, and as Mark began his treatment regimen at ABLE Chiropractic, he started to notice gradual improvements. The pain that had once been a constant companion began to ease. The treatments were not a miracle cure, but they offered a tangible difference. For the first time in a long while, Mark felt a glimmer of the life he had nearly lost.

The journey was far from over, but each step forward was a victory. Mark resumed activities he had thought were forever out of reach. He was able to join in family baseball games, take walks with his wife, and even play on the floor with his grandchildren. The road to recovery was long, but with each passing day, Mark’s hope was rekindled.

Mark’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of exploring all options. Even when the path seemed closed, a new avenue could open, offering hope where there was none. For Mark, it was the small decision to explore one more possibility that turned the tide, allowing him to embrace life’s joys once more.

The journey wasn’t over, but Mark was on the right path, ready to face whatever came next with a renewed spirit and a heart full of gratitude.
