Pain the back? It could be your NECK!

New research shows that lumbar radiculopathy is directly affected by the cervical (neck) curve. If the neck curve straightens, the resulting tension on the spinal cord adversely affects the low back. To keep a strong low back, one key goal is to have a strong neck curve 💪

Saturday’s are for posture correction!

Big congrats to Tom! At 66 years young, Tom just medaled in a jiu jitsu tournament, competing in a 35 and older division.  Tom only recently picked up jiu jitsu in the last couple of years.  Tom says, “it’s all thanks to the work done with my spine and posture that I’ve been able to train at my highest level. I may be getting older, but I ain’t dead yet!”

Thanks to Tom for the kind words, and for inspiring us and reminding us that it’s never too late to try something new!

“I WAS SKEPTICAL”

For whatever reason, we’ve heard this said of chiropractic care A LOT. But do you know what we hear even more? How grateful people are when they discover how much their health improves when they take care of their spine, joints and nervous system.

We have honestly had a lot of fun helping you correct your posture and strengthen your spine, Daylan! We’re glad you have an open mind for health 👏 🤙🤙

Chiropractic during pregnancy 💫

Most people are surprised to hear how beneficial gentle prenatal chiropractic care is for a healthy mom and healthy pregnancy. It keeps aches and pains at bay, sure, but more than that it optimizes the alignment of the pelvis and ligaments to support the growing baby. This gives the baby the best space to move around and minimizes the chances of breech positions and back labor. This patient at 39 weeks is getting a gentle traction stretch to the lumbar spine to avoid the lumbar curve flattening- which can cause problems. By opening up the lumbar curve the space around the pelvic bowl is full and open giving lots of space for baby, and less spinal cord tension for mom.

Did you know that studies also show that regular prenatal chiropractic adjustments have shown decreased labor times and medical interventions?? Are you thinking, YES PLEASE to all that? Wondering if chiropractic care would help you in your pregnancy? Only one way to find out!

Another awesome scoliosis before-and-after!!

Correcting the posture of this former dancer/opera singer was so successful-trained singers all seem to have a real mind/body connection and an understanding of how to move. In fact, at one point Miranda was so good at her posture exercises that she OVER corrected, and we had to tell her to slow it down 😂

Great job, Miranda we’ll miss seeing you every week!! But we’ll see you twice a month to maintain your awesome spinal changes 💪🤙

Scoliosis Awareness Month on Hawaii News Now 🤙

Had a blast this morning talking about what we know best: SPINES….and how to keep them healthy!

If you missed it, we’ll be posting the replay link soon. Mahalo .sunrise for having us again!

Getting there…!

Scoliosis is a progressive condition, so often even while it’s being treated, it’s still getting worse. That makes trying to correct it a bit tricky. But aggressive treatment plans- even the non-surgical options- can be really effective at stopping the progression and reducing the curves!

It’s June- which is scoliosis awareness month. Check your keiki for scoliosis - early intervention offers the best outcomes !

Nice correction before and after while wearing the brace 👌👌

Do you have scoliosis? Curious what we could do for you? June is scoliosis awareness month and we’re offering free scoliosis screenings all month long, message us for details or to schedule!

What happens after your spine is “corrected”?

For starters, the changes you’ll feel in your body and overall health are unmatched. But what do you do to keep things the way they are? We compare spinal correction to teeth correction. Remember how after you got your braces taken off, you were instructed to wear your retainer at regular intervals. It’s the same with your spine- you’ll still need to use your prescribed spinal orthotics at home and come in for traction to maintain the correction.

Free Scoliosis Screenings all month long in June!

This includes: initial exam, visual and digital posture evaluation. If scoliosis is suspected and x-rays are indicated, we are offering full spinal x-rays for $100 (normally $250).

Don’t wait on this, scoliosis is a progressive condition, but can have great results if detected early. Your spine and your keiki’s spine will thank you!

Is your neck causing your low back pain?

IT COULD BE! Cue the song, the neck bone’s connected to the back bone🎶😆

This patient had chronic nagging low back pain and was a bit skeptical when we suggested that we work on the structure of his neck and mid back to improve the low back pain. How does the neck relate to the low back paineveryone wonders. The spinal cord is like a string floating in your bony spinal column, and tension on the top (or middle, or any part!) can cause pain at the bottom.

After a few months of working to restore the neutral cervical (neck) curve with traction, spinal orthotics, exercises and adjustments this patient’s nagging back pain is almost completely gone.

Success Story Saturday!

We are so glad to hear our patients success in our practice, from back pains not being severe to waking up in the morning and being able to get out of bed comfortably.

Our practice is referral based so if you think we can help anyone around you that suffers from back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, or is injury prone we would love to see them! 🤙🏽
