Chiropractic is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the musculoskeletal system, including the spine, joints, and nerves.

Unavoidable Scar Tissue Has A Fix

February 3, 2023 | Comments Off on Unavoidable Scar Tissue Has A Fix

Scar tissue is an unavoidable part of the body’s healing process, after traumatic injury, surgery, or even as a response to repetitive micro-traumas (think scar tissue building up in the fingers after years of typing). Much like inflammation, another natural healing response, scar tissue can accumulate to a point where it inhibits normal functioning and…

Poor Posture and Your Head is Aching

January 24, 2023 | Comments Off on Poor Posture and Your Head is Aching

For most people suffering from chronic tension headaches, it may be time to take a look at your lifestyle: headaches are most often a reflection of the foods and chemicals we consume, the activities (or lack thereof) we pursue, and the mental and physical stresses we go through on a daily basis. You may not…

Sleeping Style

January 17, 2023 | Comments Off on Sleeping Style

What type of sleeper are you? Perhaps the most important type is the sufficient sleeper, the one who gets at least 7.5 hours of sleep (5 cycles of 1.5 hours each), sleeps deeply, and wakes up refreshed. Unfortunately, this is a rapidly shrinking demographic, due to the incursions of technology, the high pace of urban life, and…

Diagnosing a herniated disc begins with a conversation: what are your specific symptoms and how are they impacting your life?

Healing a Herniated Disc

December 26, 2022 | Comments Off on Healing a Herniated Disc

The plain truth is that most herniated discs WILL heal themselves, given enough time and attention to rehabilitation.

Stress comes in many shapes and sizes and doses and it has a precarious relationship with the workplace. While working to make money to live is necessarily one of the largest stressors in human existence, there are ways to manage your stress to avoid becoming entirely spun out.

Breathe Better

December 9, 2022 | Comments Off on Breathe Better

A sub-conscious activity that we sometimes perform in excess of 20,000 times a day? A lot of people would probably jump to blinking, which is correct also, but how about breathing? And while the muscles that control the reflexes of blinking stay in good working order throughout life, this is not necessarily the case for…

Foods for Strong Bones

November 26, 2022 | Comments Off on Foods for Strong Bones

One of the greatest things we can do to combat the bodily degeneration that comes with aging is to fortify our bones! Conditions such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis have traditionally been associated with the elderly, but the startling fact is that with a shift toward a more sedentary society, Americans are facing the…

Running Form

November 16, 2022 | Comments Off on Running Form

For all of its health benefits and ease of accessibility, it is almost unequaled as a mode of exercise and, at our chiropractic office, we celebrate the runners in our community. We also want to help them minimize the collateral damage incurred by joints in the back (not to mention, the knees!) which are exposed…
