We always talk about how chiropractic can make your life better, but did you know that it can make your life longer?!

In an article published by the Australian Spinal Research Foundation, chiropractic care was shown to support the health of chromosomes by preserving telomere length. Telomeres are found at the ends of our chromosomes and they work to prevent the
‘decay’ or loss of important DNA during cell proliferation. Without getting too technical, when cells undergo division, DNA is replicated through a multi-phase process. This process of duplicating DNA can be imperfect and often results in the loss of information at the end of chromosomes. Telomeres act like a buffer at the end of chromosomes that can get shorter and shorter each replication, without causing much disruption to the quality of the information copied. They support chromosomal stability and prevent degradation of chromosomes. In
essence, the telomeres are sacrificed so that we don’t lose any important DNA. As telomeres get shorter with each replication, they act as a valuable indicator of the age of tissues and cells - ultimately, the age of you!

In this study, a patient received chiropractic care for neck pain. She was recommended for a corrective care plan (sound familiar? Our doctors are sticklers for care plans!) the patient was re-assessed and reported that her neck and mid-back pain were reduced from 5/10 to less than 1/10. This is a significant change over a short period of time!

There was also improvement recorded in her Heart Rate Variability and Health and Wellness Score measures, with the patient reporting improvements in all quality of life domains. The patient noted that she was virtually pain-free and was now able to sleep through the night without waking to use the bathroom. Telomere length was assessed again and the telomere value was found to have increased by 8.23%!

Do you want to live longer and feel better? Stick with your care plans, folks! 🩵

We’re equally as obsessed with chiropractic as the world is with Taylor and Travis!

Even celebrities aren’t immune from back pain, especially during pregnancy! We can help 🤰

If you frequently tell yourself, “I’m too young to feel this old” - we agree with you!

While aging is inevitable, feeling old doesn’t have to be! Chiropractic care goes beyond temporary fixes and aims to improve your overall joint and muscle function, potentially preventing further arthritic developments and easing the symptoms of aging spines.

As we age, our muscle mass naturally decreases-starting as early as 35. That’s a lot earlier than you thought…right?! This condition significantly accelerates after 60, contributing to a decline in strength and independence. Regular activities like walking, shopping, and even dressing can become challenging. However, it’s not just aging-muscle disuse plays a significant role too.

Our spines endure a lifetime of weight-bearing stress, leading to wear and tear. While this degeneration is normal, it can cause your discs to lose their ability to absorb shock, making your spine stiffer and less mobile.

With chiropractic adjustments and a personalized rehabilitation plan, which may include assisted stretching, corrective exercises and massage, many of our patients have found they can maintain a more active lifestyle and manage pain more effectively than with NSAIDs alone. The best time to start is NOW! Don’t let your body decline to the point where you can’t do the things you want and need to do.

Let us help you start rebuilding your strength, mobility, and vitality!

Did you know that research shows that receiving chiropractic care during pregnancy can help your labor process to be shorter?! Our doctors are certified in the Webster technique, which is used during pregnancy to optimally align the pelvis.

“A retrospective review of statistics reported that primigravida women (having their first birth) who seek chiropractic care throughout gestation have, on average, a 25% shorter labor time whereas multiparous women (having birthed more than one child) who seek chiropractic care throughout their pregnancy have, on average, 31% shorter labor times”.

Chiropractic care is the gold standard for treatment for back pain, but it also helps with so much more!

By removing nerve interference and allowing the body to function properly, patients enjoy improvement in nearly all health conditions. A recent study showed complete resolution of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms after 4 weeks of care.

“A 24-year-old male elite athlete presented for care with primary concerns of Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms that had not resolved or improved under traditional medical care. The patient was managed using Advanced Bio-Structural Correction Technique, including Meningeal releases, in assessing and correcting subluxation. A 70% improvement in symptoms was reached during the first four weeks of care, with full resolution of symptoms soon after.”
