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.🤝

Proper spinal alignment supports optimal nervous system function, improves healing, and enhances overall well-being. Experience the benefits of chiropractic care for a more balanced and vibrant life. Schedule an appointment today! 🙌

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. 😊

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!

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.

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.

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. 💪
