What Causes Inﬂammation?

Chronic inﬂammation is one of the most signiﬁcant health issues many of us will face today. It’s been linked to everything from chronic pain to a wide range of other mild and serious medical conditions.

It’s important not to mistake acute inﬂammation for chronic inﬂammation.

Acute inﬂammation describes your body’s natural defense mechanism against injuries or toxins. When your immune system is constantly stressed, it can then lead to chronic inﬂammation which in turn can lead to other conditions.

Chronic Inflammation

In 2014, it was estimated that over 50% of people had at least one chronic condition, and 40% had more than one.

Chronic inﬂammatory diseases can include respiratory and heart disorders as well as diabetes. The majority of these disorders are linked directly to our lifestyle choices. Each day you have the option to either increase or decrease your state of inﬂammation.

Here are some fundamental ways to start taking your life back from chronic inﬂammation:

Eat Fruits and vegetables are high in natural antioxidants and may protect the body against inﬂammation.
Get enough Maintaining a regular sleep schedule can reduce your physical and emotional stress levels, which has been linked to a lower risk of chronic inﬂammation.
Stay Exercise can lower the amount of pro-inﬂammatory chemicals in your body and beneﬁt your cardiovascular and mental health.

Reducing your risk of chronic disease and inﬂammation begins with the choices you make each and every day, and we’re here to help you make the best decisions to help you live a full, active, and healthy life.

If you believe you’re not eating, sleeping, or moving as well as you would like, be sure you have an appointment scheduled with us. Together, we’ll analyze your habits and create a plan to get you and your well-being back on track.

Most Chronic Diseases are Linked to Inﬂammation

One of the most important health discoveries of the past 20 years has been that the immune system and inﬂammatory process are involved in nearly every mental and physical health problem we encounter today. It’s safe to say that chronic inﬂammation is a leading cause of chronic disease.

The Effects of Chronic Inflammation on the Body

Chronic inﬂammation is a condition that can aﬀect your immune system and can inﬂuence all of your organs, tissues, and cells. Unlike the normal inﬂammatory response that happens after an injury and goes away within a few days, chronic inﬂammation is an abnormal response that can last years.

Here are just a few of the ways chronic inﬂammation can aﬀect your body:

Chronic inﬂammation can cause your immune system to function sub-optimally.
Fatigue, increased blood pressure, insulin resistance, and poor appetite have also been linked to chronic inﬂammation.
Heart disease and other neurodegenerative disorders have been linked to long-term chronic inﬂammation.

It’s true. It’s impossible to prevent chronic disease completely, but you have the power to reduce your risk every day. Taking action steps like eating right and exercising each day have been shown to dramatically decrease chronic inﬂammation and your likelihood of developing a chronic disease.

Know we’re here to help you live an active and fulﬁlling life. We understand that it’s hard to get enough exercise each day when you’re in pain. We hope you’ll take a moment to schedule a movement assessment with us so we can create a plan to help you start moving and feeling better.

Let’s take the ﬁrst step towards reducing your risk of chronic disease together!

How Inﬂammation Aﬀects Your Body

Inﬂammation is like a check engine light for your body. It tells you that something isn’t quite right, and you should pay attention.

The ﬁrst step in discovering the cause of the problem is determining whether you have acute or chronic inﬂammation.

Acute inﬂammation is short-term and plays a critical role in healing and injury repair. Chronic inﬂammation on the other hand describes a condition where your immune system continues to produce white blood cells and chemicals even after the injury is gone.

The Signs of Chronic Inflammation

The combination of chronic inﬂammation and an excess of white blood cells can cause some problems for your immune system. In some cases, your immune system may even begin to target healthy cells and structures. If sustained over a long period of time, you may experience changes in your cells, tissues, and organs that can increase the likelihood of disease. Of course, one of the most signiﬁcant challenges is that chronic inﬂammation can be invisible unless you know where to look.

Here are a few of the most common signs of chronic inﬂammation:

Insulin Insulin helps control the sugar level in your blood, and inﬂammation could aﬀect how well your insulin works.
Muscle Chronic inﬂammation can cause your immune system to mistakenly attack and inﬂame your muscles, which could make you weaker.
Fatigue is a sign of long-term inﬂammation and common in inﬂammatory diseases like ﬁbromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis.

If you’ve been living with muscle weakness, fatigue, or other nagging pains, you may also be living with chronic inﬂammation. It’s often your daily habits that contribute to this state of chronic inﬂammation.

Know that our team specializes in helping you create a healthy lifestyle through daily habits that combat chronic inﬂammation. We invite you to take the ﬁrst step towards better health by scheduling your next visit with us today so we can work together to help you feel and function at your best.

How to Reduce Pain and Inﬂammation Naturally

While the inﬂammatory process is extremely complex, the solutions aren’t. Reducing pain and inﬂammation naturally is simple with the right strategy. Maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly are all ways that have been shown to eﬀectively reduce pain and inﬂammation naturally.

Don't Wait to Get Care

Your diet and daily exercise routine play a huge role in managing chronic inﬂammation because each inﬂuences your weight and sleep patterns. Foods high in antioxidants (like berries, turmeric, green vegetables) can lower your overall inﬂammation and provide you with more energy. Daily exercise can help protect you against conditions such as heart disease and obesity, which have both been linked to chronic inﬂammation.

Did you know…

Antioxidants known as polyphenols can lower inﬂammation.
Even 20 minutes of daily exercise can have an anti-inﬂammatory eﬀect.
Proper sleep patterns encourage recovery and can lower stress and inﬂammation levels.

Reducing pain and inﬂammation naturally starts with your ability to move your body and exercise daily. If you notice an injury or pain is slowing you down, take a moment to schedule an appointment with us today.

Our expert team will work with you side by side to help you move better, and once you start moving better, everything else becomes easier! Give us a call. Let’s make chronic inﬂammation a thing of the past.

Why Does My Neck Hurt?

Your neck has a tough job. It has to hold, stabilize, and move the weight of your head every day for a lifetime. Holding up 11 pounds may not seem like a lot, but the seven bones and 20 muscles of your neck need to work together in perfect harmony for you to move your head around and keep that weight balanced. Postural changes, sudden injuries, and arthritis are a few of the primary causes of neck pain. Pain can often be traced to a problem with either the muscles, bones, discs, or nerves in your neck.

Respond Proactively to Your Pain

If you’ve ever been unable to turn your head for a day or two, you know how debilitating and life-changing neck pain can be. The sharp muscle spasms that restrict your ability to move can happen when your body tries to protect a spinal joint that isn’t moving correctly.

Almost every bone in your neck has a pair of sliding joints towards the back called facet joints. If an adhesion forms or the joint is stuck, your body will try to compensate or work around the issue for a little while. But, over time, this compensation can cause a cascade of additional challenges.

Sudden injuries, arthritis, and postural issues can all contribute to neck pain.
The small sliding joints (facet joints) of your neck can become stuck and cause muscles spasms and pain.
Gentle spinal adjustments combined with daily stretching can help restore the motion of your facet joints and reduce pain.

Pain in your neck is your body’s way of saying “pain attention”! Even if it eases up by the end of the day, it’s a smart idea to have us evaluate your motion. Movement assessments are a part of our examination and provide us with an incredible amount of information about your body. By taking a proactive approach today, you may be able to prevent future episodes of neck pain and stiﬀness in the future.

Stenosis: How a Pinch in Your Neck Can Aﬀect Your Whole Body

Have you been told that you have spinal stenosis? If so, you’re not alone. Millions of people suﬀer from spinal stenosis each day, and it’s the number one reason people over 65 years old have spine surgery. Spinal stenosis is the compression, or pinching, of your spinal cord. It can occur due to a disc herniation, bone spur, or ligament overgrowth. However, drugs and surgery are not the only way to ﬁnd relief.

Take the Pressure Off

For many people, the most signiﬁcant challenge associated with spinal stenosis is the decreased ability to get up and move! Severe pinching in your neck can cause issues with your arms and legs. One of the best ways to relieve the symptoms associated with spinal stenosis is to open up the spinal canal and take the pressure oﬀ the nerves and spinal cord. Many chiropractic techniques focus on decreasing the pressure on your spinal cord, relieving the symptoms associated with spinal stenosis.

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spaces within your spine, which can put pressure on the nerves that travel through the spine.
Spinal stenosis is most commonly caused by degenerative changes in the spine related to osteoarthritis.
Relief can often be found by building up your strength while improving the ﬂexibility and stability of your spine with chiropractic care.

After chiropractic care, many patients report having a decrease in their symptoms, the ability to walk further without pain and ﬁnd an improvement in their overall quality of life. If you have been slowed down due to spinal stenosis, do not hesitate to schedule an evaluation with us. We will provide a complete evaluation and guide you towards the best treatment options to ﬁnd relief.

Is My Arm Pain Coming from My Neck?

Pain in your hand, wrist, or arm can be frustrating. You don’t realize how much you use your arms and hands until pain, numbness, or tingling gets in the way. Most of us don’t usually think that an issue in our neck may cause our arm pain. But it’s very common that arm pain can be traced back to a nerve issue in your neck.

Pinched Nerves Can Affect The Arms, Hands, and Shoulders

Hand, wrist, and arm pain often starts with a neck problem. When a spinal disc in your neck irritates or presses on a nerve, it can result in arm pain. Just like the power lines that bring electricity to your house, your brain and spinal cord split into individual nerve roots that deliver information to every part of your body. The nerves in your neck are speciﬁcally focused on providing strength and sensation to your head and arms.

A bulged or herniated disc in your neck can irritate or compress the nerves that travel to your hands, arms, and shoulders.
A recent study of people with cervical (neck) disc herniation showed improvement in over 86% of people who received chiropractic adjustments.
Improving spinal mobility, decreasing inﬂammation, and improving your posture may help prevent future episodes of neck and arm pain.

A painful arm as a result of a pinched nerve in your neck very rarely requires surgery. Most people can ﬁnd long-term relief with conservative care, such as chiropractic.

Getting rid of the inﬂammation and giving the disc time to heal are part of a complete plan we use each day to help our patients reduce their symptoms and get their lives back.

Neck Pain: How To Find Relief

An episode of neck pain can quickly hamper your everyday activities. Whether you began experiencing pain due to injury, degenerative spinal changes, or poor posture, it can be diﬃcult to think about anything except the pain when you’re struggling. It’s estimated that 70% of people experience neck pain in their life, but you should know there is a path towards relief.

Small Adjustment. Big Changes.

Neck pain can create everything from headaches to pain in your arms and hands to pain directly on your neck. Diﬀerent types of pain indicate diﬀerent issues. The most common reasons for neck pain are strained muscles and stuck spinal joints. Each of these challenges can cause a lot of pain and may have you fearing that you have a more signiﬁcant issue. But, with a proper examination, our team can pinpoint the cause of your pain and provide a complete plan of care to help you reclaim your life from neck pain.

Facet joints are small spinal joints at the back of your spine which can become ﬁxated or stuck and cause pain.
Muscle strains can occur due to poor posture at your desk or sleeping in an awkward position.
Motion heals: relief typically begins by reducing the inﬂammation and improving your range of motion.

A small adjustment can make big changes in your quality of life. Our practice is focused on helping you feel (and function) better by improving your spinal motion and then providing you with the stretches and exercises you can do at home to continue your improvement. If neck pain has got in the way of you enjoying your life- give us a call. Our team is here to help.

Perfect Posture is Dynamic

Is there such a thing as perfect posture? The answer may surprise you. The latest research shows that it’s actually more beneﬁcial to think about your posture as dynamic, not static. In other words, your ideal posture is constantly changing and evolving.

The Negative Effects of Poor Posture

Think of your posture as a dynamic pattern of responses, reﬂexes, and habits–not just as a ﬁxed position.

Gravity, your work environment, and your body’s anatomy all play essential roles. For instance, sitting for hours at a time staring at a computer screen is a perfect example of a damaging static posture that over time can lead to the development of chronic forward head posture.

Forward head posture aﬀects millions of people who spend their days using computers and has the potential to cause pain and degenerative changes in your spinal joints. It places stress on the neck and shoulders and weakens the supporting muscles.

Here’s what you need to know:

Forward head posture aﬀects millions and results in neck pain for up to 75% of those aﬀected.
Neck pain, tension, stiﬀness, and tenderness are all signs of chronic forward head posture.
Trapezius strengthening has been shown to provide clinically signiﬁcant relief for those struggling with neck pain as a result of forward head posture.

If you spend long hours each day in a single position (such as sitting at a computer) it’s important to take the time to take periodic breaks to stretch and move your body.

Remember, posture is dynamic, and stretching can help not only “reset” your posture, but also help keep your spine healthy and your energy levels up!

Scheduling a posture and movement assessment with us is also a smart idea to help ensure you remain as pain-free as possible no matter how you spend your days. Just give us a call!

How to Improve Your Posture

When discussing posture, we’re often referring to the overall position of your body as you stand, sit, or lie down.

Most experts would agree that a “good” overall posture involves physical positions that reduce stress on the body by balancing the load placed on the muscles and ligaments that support the spine.

If you’ve looked in the mirror and noticed that your posture doesn’t look as balanced as you’d like–not to mention, doesn’t feel as balanced as you’d like–you may be wondering what you can do to improve it.

Healing Through Motion

One of the best ways to improve your posture is through motion.

Changing positions frequently during the day, stretching, and speciﬁc postural exercises are all ways to improve your posture.

Good posture helps you keep your bones and joints in proper alignment, which helps reduce the wear and tear on your joints and decrease the strain on the ligaments that support your spine.

Here are some key takeaways:

Good posture means keeping your spinal curves aligned and weight evenly distributed.
Stretches and exercises can help improve your posture and reduce your risk of neck and back pain.
Standing desks have been shown to reduce back pain by over 30% when compared to sitting at a desk.

When creating a plan to improve your posture, remember that stretching and exercising are essential. Equally important is knowing where to start.

Our postural and movement assessments can help you determine the best strategy to help balance and improve your posture, especially if you’ve been living with pain.

How Your Smartphone Impacts Your Posture

Believe it or not, many of us spend 3 hours or more per day on our smartphones. That adds up to over 1,000 hours each year! And the positions we tend to hold our heads in while using our devices can be, well… damaging. Damaging to your posture, and damaging to your spine. It’s not surprising that over the past few years, an uptick of these awkward positions has led to an uptick in head and neck pain.

"Tech Neck"

It’s estimated that tilting your head forward, even just 15 degrees, can triple the weight of your head on your neck. In fact, tilting your head forward 60 degrees can increase the stress and strain on your neck ten times over.

Repeating this forward head posture again and again over time can result in pain, stiﬀness, dysfunction, headaches, and more–a group of symptoms often referred to as “Tech Neck.”

The good news about postural stress and “Tech Neck” is that a few simple changes to your routine can help you reduce your risk of experiencing pain.

Here’s what you need to know:

“Tech Neck” is the term used to describe the ﬂexed head and neck position that occurs when looking down at your smartphone.
Just 15 degrees of forward bending can increase the stress of your head on your neck three times over.
Taking breaks every 15 minutes and looking up from your phone or tablet can help your body reset and give your muscles a chance to relax.

Know that reducing your “Tech Neck” symptoms involves more than just changing the angle you look at your phone. Proper ergonomics and regular stretching and exercise all play signiﬁcant roles in helping you continue to enjoy your favorite devices without those nagging pains.

If you’ve been living with “Tech Neck” and are ready to take action, you’ve come to the right place! Our expert team is ready to not only help evaluate your ergonomics, but to also provide a plan of action complete with personalized recommendations that will help make it easy for you to maintain a more balanced posture for years to come.

Posture: Balancing Strength and Flexibility

Both strength and ﬂexibility play a signiﬁcant role in how your posture develops.

For instance, having both a strong and ﬂexible core helps the body to dynamically adapt to every environment. The spine is not only supported but also moves well, reducing the possibility of injury or pain. While it’s true that “perfect” postures may not exist, improving our strength, ﬂexibility, and ergonomics goes a long way towards improvement.

Don't Wait to Get Care

Your body is dynamic, and it’s designed to move, but over time it may feel a bit less dynamic than it used to!

Getting into a wellness routine that includes exercises that focus on strength and ﬂexibility is a smart way to keep your body feeling young while promoting good posture–a true win-win.

Here’s why:

Strengthening exercises can help develop proper support for your joints and decrease overall postural stress. Incorporating stretches and exercise that focus on ﬂexibility then help you body maintain the ability to move through its full range of motion.

Did you know…

When you focus on increasing muscular ﬂexibility, your posture is likely to improve.
Lifting weights strengthens your back, shoulder, and core muscles, which are all essential to standing with proper posture and preventing lower back pain.
Stretching your muscles and joints also leads to a greater range of motion, improved balance, and increased ﬂexibility.

Remember, postural stress can add up over time. Just because you’re not currently in pain doesn’t mean that everything is functioning at its highest level or that your daily wellness routine is as optimized as it could be.

Our team specializes in all things posture and providing comprehensive individualized care plans – adjustments, stretches, exercises, and all!

Schedule an appointment today if you’d like to learn more about all the ways we’re helping the people in your community achieve an ideal balance of strength and posture and ﬂexibility. Our doors are open, and we’re here for you.

How to Find Shoulder Pain Relief

Your shoulder is the most unstable and moveable joint in your body. Its wide range of motion occurs due to four primary muscles and their tendons, which together are called the rotator cuﬀ. If your shoulder becomes inﬂamed or an impingement happens, you may make the mistake of trying to avoid using your arm to help it heal. It may surprise you to learn that not moving can actually contribute to more pain or even lead to a frozen shoulder. Controlled movement is one of the best ways to heal.

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain

The most common source of pain in the shoulder is the tendons. Your tendons attach the muscles of the shoulder to the bones. If a tendon becomes trapped, it can result in shoulder impingement. If a tendon becomes inﬂamed, you may hear it referred to as tendinitis or bursitis. And if a tendon becomes torn, you guessed it; you have a rotator cuﬀ tear.

Shoulder Bursitis: If the sac of ﬂuid that cushions your shoulder becomes swollen and painful due to repetitive motions, you may have bursitis.
Shoulder Impingement: If your tendons get pinched between or under the bones of your shoulder, it can lead to Lifting overhead repetitively can cause impingement, and it can result in swelling and pain.
Rotator Cuﬀ Tear: Your rotator cuﬀ can become damaged due to overuse, injury, or Tears usually cause pain when you try to lift things, and you may hear a popping sound as you move.

Your shoulder and spine work together. While it may seem like they are two completely diﬀerent areas, it’s been discovered that postural abnormalities can play a signiﬁcant role in your likelihood of developing shoulder pain. Maintaining a full range of motion in your shoulder and spinal joints of your neck and mid-back can help reduce your chances of dealing with shoulder pain. If you notice shoulder discomfort or restricted movement, contact us for a complete evaluation. We’ll work to create a movement-based plan to help you ﬁnd long-term relief.

Your Hip vs. SI Joint: What's the Diﬀerence?

It can be extremely confusing to ﬁgure out the diﬀerence between hip and SI (sacroiliac) joint pain. But being able to identify which one is the culprit is crucial when you are looking to ﬁnd relief. Your SI joint is the connection between your tailbone (sacrum) and your pelvis. The SI joint is very ﬁbrous and only moves a few millimeters. On the other hand, your hip is much less stable and allows your entire leg to move in every plane of motion.

Similar Pain, Different Sources

While the hip and SI joints are very diﬀerent in structure and function, they share similar pain patterns, making it diﬃcult to tell one from the other. It’s common to have SI joint pain mimic low back pain. Bending backward usually aggravates SI joint pain due to the compression that happens in the joint as you move.

Hip pain is more likely to occur when you walk or if you try to bring your knees to your chest.

Hip Pain: Characterized by pain with walking, weight-bearing, and rotating the
SI Joint Pain: Diﬃculties while standing, walking, climbing stairs, getting out of the
Low Back Pain: Pain that radiates into the buttock or leg and may travel down to the

Suppose you’ve felt discomfort and aren’t exactly sure if it’s your hip, SI joint, or low back. It’s important to ﬁnd a chiropractor who will provide a complete evaluation and treatment plan. The reason this is important is that our hips tend to become degenerative as we age, and if your doctor is only looking at a hip X-ray to determine a plan of care, you may ﬁnd yourself getting treatment for a problem you don’t have. We take a holistic approach to our evaluations, and our movement assessments ensure that we can pinpoint your challenges so that you get the best care plan to live your highest quality of life.

Are You at Risk for Chronic Knee Pain?

Knees hurt? You’re not alone. Chronic knee pain is thought to aﬀect up to 25% of adults and can signiﬁcantly limit your mobility and quality of life. Your knee is a hinge-joint that primarily moves back and forth (ﬂexion and extension) and allows some twisting or rotation. Every step you take places stress and strain on your knees, so it’s no surprise that trauma, misalignment, and degenerative changes can all take their toll.

Steps You Can Take to Reduce Knee Pain

While knee pain may not be entirely preventable, there are steps you can take to keep your knees as healthy as possible. At the top of the list is to watch your weight. For every pound you are overweight, your knee must absorb an extra 4 pounds of pressure when you walk, run or climb stairs. In addition, the cartilage in your knee is designed to last a lifetime if you take care of it.

Here are a few additional ways to keep your knees healthy and strong.

Warm-Up Before Exercising: Stretching your quadriceps and hamstrings before and after you exercise is a smart way to reduce the chance of a ﬂare-up of knee pain.
Find Adequate Foot Support: Every step you take transfers force from the bottom of your foot to your knee. Therefore, your shoes should provide the support you need to keep your knees healthy for at least 10,000 steps per day.
Maintain a Full Range of Motion: Ensuring your low back and hips are moving freely is essential to overall knee health.

The joints of your body should have a balance of strength and ﬂexibility through their full range of motion. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for people with back issues to ﬁnd themselves struggling with knee pain after limping around for a few weeks. We encourage our patients to be proactive with their health. Use the strategies above to help reduce your chances of knee pain, and be sure to call our practice if you notice any pain or restricted motion.

Tennis Elbow? But I don't even play tennis!

Tennis elbow isn’t just for athletes. Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) is a painful condition that occurs when the tendons in your elbow are inﬂamed and overloaded due to repetitive motion. Because of the motion that occurs when swinging a racket, it’s commonly referred to as tennis elbow, but anyone who has a job that features repetitive arm motions may be at risk.

How to Reduce Tennis Elbow Pain

Tennis elbow can become a serious issue because of the pain and weakness that make it diﬃcult to perform your daily tasks. Because it’s an injury caused by repetitive motions, and since many of these motions are essential to your job, ﬁnding ways to decrease the inﬂammation and improve biomechanics is critical. Three natural ways to help reduce the pain associated with tennis elbow include:

Rest: Giving your arm time to rest is important to stop the cascade of inﬂammation and pain.
Ice: Icing, a few times per hour, is a smart strategy to reduce pain and inﬂammation.
Technique: Be mindful of how you are moving your arm, use proper ergonomics, and use a brace for a short time if necessary.

Tennis elbow is usually not a condition that will go away on its own. However, we’ve found two key strategies for reducing the pain associated with tennis below. First is receiving a plan of care that includes at-home exercises to strengthen your supporting muscles. The second is receiving adjustments, when necessary, to improve the motion and movement of your elbow joints. If you or someone you know has struggled with tennis elbow, give us a call so that we can provide you with a plan to ﬁnd relief.

What Causes Low Back Pain?

Low back pain is the number one reason people worldwide visit their doctor and miss work. If you’ve dealt with it in the past (or maybe even right now), you know back pain can change your life in an instant. Not being able to enjoy hobbies, diﬃculty in your ability to work, and a sneaking suspicion that you may never get “back to normal” are all normal when you’re experiencing a bout of back pain. So why do so many people struggle with back pain?

Habits, Stress, and Injuries

In many cases, your daily habits are a big contributor to your back pain. Repetitive stress, nagging injuries, a diet ﬁlled with inﬂammatory foods, and a lack of daily exercise and movement can contribute to an increased likelihood of back pain. Here are the three most common causes of back pain.

Sprain/Strain Injury: Repetitive stress can create inﬂammation and lead to sprain/strain injuries.
Spinal Disc Issues: Disc bulges and herniations can cause back pain that travels by pressing on your spinal nerves.
Arthritis: As you get older, your body will go through degenerative changes, but if your spinal joints get inﬂamed, you may notice pain associated with arthritis.

For over 80% of us, back pain will be something we deal with at some point in our lives. And while it may feel like you’ll never get back to your old self, chances are you will. An overwhelming majority of people recover from back pain naturally or with a little additional help from a chiropractor. Even if you recover by taking it easy for a few days, it’s still a smart decision to visit a chiropractor to discover the speciﬁc steps you can take to reduce your chances of experiencing back pain in the future.

How to Move Your Way to Back Pain Relief

Movement is one of the best ways to recover from back pain. Science has shown us that medications and rest are a few of the least eﬀective ways to ﬁnd relief. Your body is designed to move, and often it’s a lack of daily movement (or chronic postural changes) that causes back pain to begin in the ﬁrst place.

Discovering the right movements and exercises can help you recover more quickly and prevent future back pain episodes.

Movement is Critical

Your body has three types of movements: Segmental, regional, and whole body. Segmental motion occurs between the individual joints of your body. Regional movement occurs in a body region such as your neck, mid-back, or low back. And whole-body movement is typically what we think of as exercise. All three types are essential and work together to keep your spine and musculoskeletal system healthy and functioning at its best.

Segmental Movement: Moving the individual joints of your body is what chiropractors are speciﬁcally trained to do. Proper segmental movement can help reduce pain, improve your range of motion, and inﬂuence your central nervous system.
Regional Movement: Dynamic stretching with regional range of motion exercises can reduce low back stiﬀness.
Whole Body Exercise: Daily whole-body exercise can help your brain and body feel better as well as improve your rest and recovery at night.

The foundation of all movement is segmental. If your joints aren’t moving correctly, then you’ll never be able to optimize your regional or whole-body movement. Moving may be the last thing you want to do if you’re struggling with back pain. But top research organizations have proven that proper movement and exercise are two of the best ways to ﬁnd relief from back pain. If you’ve dealt with back pain, call us today. Our team will be happy to provide you with a complete movement assessment and personalized movement and exercise plan to help you get (and stay) well for years to come.

Is My Leg Pain Coming from My Back?

It may seem weird to think that leg, calf, or foot pain can often be traced back to a low back problem. But if you’ve had pain in your leg or foot, a pinched nerve in your low back may be creating your issue. Pain that travels along a spinal nerve is called radicular pain, and it’s one of the most common types of pain that occurs as a result of spinal nerve compression.

How Spinal Nerves Affect Leg Pain

Your spinal nerves can be pinched or compressed by bone, disc, or ligament. Facet hypertrophy or bone spurs sometimes grow large enough to pinch your spinal nerves. Disc herniations or bulges can invade the space of your nerves and cause narrowing of the canals. And ligament hypertrophy can happen with age and injuries and ultimately cause your nerves to get squeezed. Whether your pain is coming from bone, disc, or ligament, it’s important to know that all have a great chance of recovery without the need for drugs or surgery.

Bone Spurs – bone spurs or osteophytes form due to joint damage associated with osteoarthritis.
Disc Herniations – disc bulges, herniations, or tears can cause inﬂammation and pressure on your spinal nerves.
Ligament Hypertrophy – ligamentum ﬂavum hypertrophy or overgrowth happens due to biomechanical stress and aging.

Leg pain that begins in your low back can start with an injury or for what seems like no reason at all. Either way, your body is telling you to Pay Attention Inside Now! Every day our practice helps people regain their quality of life from compressed nerves. Reducing inﬂammation, establishing proper motion to your joints, and taking proactive steps to reduce the likelihood of the pain coming back are all part of our care plans. If you’ve felt leg pain, give us a call today.

Why Medications Aren't Recommended for Low Back Pain

A staggering 100,000 people each year are hospitalized due to NSAIDs. Just because these medications can be purchased over the counter doesn’t mean that they don’t have risks and dangers. Leading healthcare organizations have taken note and now recommend that movement-based care options, such as chiropractic, are explored for most low back issues before any medications. The added beneﬁt is that most people who explore chiropractic care take far fewer medications than those who don’t. Why? Because it works.

An Alternative to Medications

Over the past twenty years, we’ve seen the eﬀects of low back pain change our healthcare landscape forever. The numbers of people with low back pain have remained the same even as we’ve lost millions to the opioid epidemic and hundreds of thousands more due to complications from NSAIDs. The good news is that major healthcare organizations have updated their guidelines, and the care that chiropractors deliver ranks at the top of nearly every list.

Over 100,000 people are hospitalized each year from NSAID related complications.
Each day, over 100 people pass away due to Opioid overdoses.
Leading healthcare organizations now recommend the care delivered by chiropractors as the best ﬁrst-line treatment for low back pain.

Medications are designed to mask the pain, not ﬁx the problem. Receiving a complete and comprehensive evaluation is the ﬁrst step towards ﬁnding relief. After discovering the cause of your pain, we can work together to craft a care plan that will help you reach your health goals. If you know someone struggling with low back pain, call us today.

What are Spinal Discs Made Of?

We all know spinal discs are important- but to understand why, the real question is; what are they made of? Your spinal discs are little cushions that sit between the bones or vertebrae in your spine. Each one of your discs is made up of a tough, ﬁbrous outer layer (annulus ﬁbrosis) and a jelly-like inside layer (the nucleus pulposus). The tough outer layer contains and protects the softer inside layer. These small discs have a big job. They enable your spine to move in all directions.

Why it Matters:

The nucleus pulposus (inner layer of the disc) is mostly made up of water. The high water content helps your discs stay supple and moveable. It acts like a small swivel to allow your body to tilt and rotate. As you get older, your discs tend to lose their high water content and can become degenerative. Degenerative discs don’t move as well, are more prone to cause pain, and even contribute to compression on your spinal nerves.

Your spinal column has 24 moveable bones with spinal discs between each pair.
Spinal discs are designed to help you move in all directions.
Movement of your spine can help keep your spinal discs healthy.

Movement is one of the best ways to keep your spinal discs healthy. Since your spinal discs don’t have a very good blood supply, movement is how they bring in nutrients. Moving your spine helps your spinal discs get in nutrients to stay healthy and push out waste contributing to pain and inﬂammation. If your neck or back hurts, give us a call – we’ll help you get your life back from pain.

Types of Spinal Disc Problems

If you’ve had a spinal disc problem, you know how painful it can be. Every movement seems to hurt, and it can feel like you’ll never be back to your old self. But, with the proper care and a little time, you can get your life back. Pain is a signal to “Pay Attention Inside Now.” If you notice neck or back pain, it’s a warning sign from your body. It’s your body’s way of letting you know you’ve pushed past its limits.

Why it Matters:

The most common type of spinal disc problem is called a bulge or herniation. A disc bulge or herniation is when your spinal disc’s inner portion is trying to (or has) pushed through the tough outer layer. When the inside pushes or bulges, it can cause pain in two different ways. If the disc bulges far enough to press on a spinal nerve, you may notice pain that travels down your arms or legs. If the inside of your disc pushes through the outer layer, it could also cause severe inﬂammation resulting in pain.

A herniated disc is when the soft middle of a spinal disc pushes through the tough outer layer.
Age causes the spinal disc to dehydrate, cartilage to stiﬀen, and can result in disc bulges/herniations.
Exercises that “centralize” your spinal disc may be able to prevent future episodes of sciatica.

Spinal disc injuries most commonly occur between 45-65 years of age. If you have spinal pain or pain that travels down your arm or leg, you may be suﬀering from a disc injury. The good news is that your spine is incredibly resilient. Research has proven that movement-based care, such as spinal adjustments and spinal rehab, is incredibly effective at helping you heal from spinal disc injuries. Our practice focuses on using the latest research-based movement treatments to reduce your pain and improve your quality of life.

How to Strengthen Your Spinal Discs

No one wants to deal with back pain. If you’re struggling with pain today or looking to reduce your risk in the future, you may be curious about how you can strengthen your spinal discs. When you think about strengthening your disc, you need to consider how you strengthen your core. Your core is the set of muscles, ligaments, and tendons that support your spinal column and help your spinal discs move.

Why it Matters:

Your core needs to have a balance of strength and ﬂexibility. Strengthening your core allows your body to have the support it needs to move, bend, and twist without causing injuries. Flexibility is also crucial. Being able to move through your entire range of motion helps your spinal discs stay healthy.

Core exercises can help your back maintain a balance of strength and ﬂexibility.
Movement of your spine promotes the delivery of nutrients to the spinal discs.
Spinal adjustments can improve your range of motion and decrease pain.

Maintaining the proper balance of strength and ﬂexibility can help keep your core and spinal column functioning at their highest level. It is much easier to keep your spine moving than to get your spine moving. It’s been said that we don’t get old and stiﬀ; we get stiﬀ and then old. Our practice is here to help you stay active, healthy, and happy. Contact us today to schedule a visit to assess your movement and create a plan of action to keep you pain-free and at the top of your game.

Keeping Your Spinal Discs Healthy

Proactively doing things today to help your spinal discs stay healthy in the future is a smart idea. Ain’t no one got time for back pain! Every day your spinal disc absorbs stress related to gravity, your posture, and your movement patterns (or lack thereof). Over time this stress can cause your discs to degenerate and become painful. If you want to minimize your chances of back pain in the future, here are a few ways you can keep your discs healthy starting today.

Why it Matters:

Movement and exercise are the top ways to keep your spinal discs healthy. Each day try to move your spine through its full range of motion and be cautious about sitting for hours in front of a computer. Using a standing desk can help to engage the small muscles supporting your spine, which is essential for your disc’s health. Another thing to keep in mind is your posture. The combination of inactivity and long periods in an unbalanced posture can wreak havoc on your spinal discs.

Prolonged sitting significantly reduces the disc height of L4-L5.
Changing positions every 15 minutes helps the discs retain their height.
Use a standing desk and change positions frequently to reduce your risk of low back pain.

Keeping your spinal discs healthy is one of the best things you can do to reduce your risk of experiencing neck or back pain. If you spend long hours at the computer, you need to take proactive steps to counteract that stress. Call us today, and we’ll be happy to work with you on a plan to keep your spinal discs healthy for years to come.

Welcoming SoftWave to the Family

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news with you – Sound Corrections Chiropractic and Muscle Works are teaming up to offer cutting-edge therapy that will elevate your wellness journey to new heights. We’re introducing SoftWave Therapy, and we can’t wait to tell you all about it! Technologist Jared Dana is utilizing his skills to help those with additional healing needs. Those with chronic pain, lingering scar tissue, and arthritis, as well as many others, could benefit from adopting a SoftWave program.

What is SoftWave Therapy?

SoftWave Therapy is an effective and non-invasive treatment using shockwaves to address acute pain and chronic conditions, healing the surface and deep tissue without causing microtrauma to the body.

What's the Research?

This non-invasive, drug-free approach focuses on pain relief, injury recovery, and overall wellness enhancement. SoftWave utilizes a form of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) which has emerged as a versatile and effective non-invasive medical intervention with a wide range of applications. SoftWave uses light, sound, and frequency to generate acoustic waves to targeted areas of the body, promoting tissue regeneration, pain relief, and overall functional improvement. “Shockwaves… have mechanical and cellular effects that improve tissue healing and alter pain signaling” [1].

The therapeutic mechanisms of ESWT involve the generation of shockwaves that elicit cellular responses, including enhanced blood flow, tissue regeneration, and anti-inflammatory effects. SoftWave therapy has gained traction in recent years owing to its non-invasive nature and the promising therapeutic modality with applications in Chronic Conditions, Neuropathy, and Orthopedics. SoftWave can help to locate and treat the origin of pain and help treat the sometimes previously undetected but related affected areas.

SoftWave Therapy can effectively target and alleviate pain, whether it’s from chronic conditions, acute injuries, or muscle discomfort. SoftWave can also catalyze injury recovery as the process accelerates the body’s natural healing processes, aiding in the recovery of injuries or surgeries as it increases blood flow by 300% reducing scar tissue, inflammation, and muscle tightness. SoftWave (ESWT) can regenerate and activate your body’s own stem cells for deeper, more profound healing on a cellular level. SoftWave can increase flexibility and mobility, optimize your body’s functionality, and promote overall wellness, helping you feel your best every day.

What Can You Expect from Your First Visit?

During your first session using SoftWave, our Technologist will address any pertinent medical history and areas of concern. Depending on the severity of the injury, a few programs may be recommended based on need and desired outcome. Wellness packages are available alongside treatment of injuries or help with chronic pain and arthritis. A program consists of a determined number of visits according to need, (i.e. a designated number of visits needed to fully break down and heal scar tissue).

Our experienced chiropractors and therapists are dedicated to providing the highest standard of care. We’ve invested in state-of-the-art SoftWave technology to ensure you receive the best possible treatment. Your well-being is unique, and we tailor our services to meet your specific needs. Everyone’s needs are different, and we would love the opportunity to be able to meet with you and discuss your wellness goals according to your unique needs.

Where to Start

Both Sound Corrections Chiropractic and Muscle Works have a strong commitment to your well-being. By combining our expertise and resources, we can offer you the most comprehensive and effective treatments, including SoftWave Therapy.
Contact us to schedule an appointment, and we’ll work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.

Unlocking Relief and Healing with MLS Laser Therapy

In the ever-evolving landscape of pain management and wellness, MLS Laser Therapy has emerged as a revolutionary non-invasive treatment option. This cutting-edge technology has gained popularity for its remarkable ability to provide relief from a wide range of ailments, from chronic pain to muscle recovery, migraines, degenerative discs, and so much more.

Understanding the Technology

What is MLS Laser Therapy?

MLS (Multiwave Locked System) Laser Therapy is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment modality that utilizes laser light therapy to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue healing. It’s often referred to as “cold laser therapy” due to the absence of heat during the procedure. Multi-wave Locked System (MLS) Therapy uses focused infrared light energy to stimulate the body’s own healing process, accelerating recovery, and significantly alleviating pain, inflammation, and arthritis. The laser reduces recovery times and is your gateway to return to a pain-free life.

How it Works

Through three decades of research and development, the MLS Laser was designed to treat conditions without the need for excessive heat treatment, physical contact, or injections, and stimulate healing and recovery with no pain or discomfort. This creates an Analgesic Effect in the body. This means that the laser uses specific wavelengths of light to decrease inflammation/edema. As inflammation/edema decreases, pain subsides quickly. This changes the way nociceptors (nerve endings) perceive pain which acts like painkillers, without the unpleasant side effects that pharmaceutical painkillers often evoke. MLS Laser treatment also has a therapeutic effect as it uses specific wavelengths to penetrate deep into tissue-activated injured cells. Mitochondria are activated, releasing ATP for quicker cellular repair and healing. As a result tendons, ligaments, and muscles repair faster. In simple terms, laser energy kick-starts the healing process, thereby speeding recovery.

Benefits of MLS Laser Therapy

MLS Laser Therapy offers a plethora of benefits for individuals seeking pain relief, headache management, muscle recovery, and more. Here are some of its key advantages:

Pain Relief: Highly effective in managing various types of pain, including chronic pain, arthritis, and post-surgery discomfort. The laser light penetrates deep into tissues, stimulating the release of endorphins and promoting natural pain relief mechanisms. The laser light penetrates between 4-6 cm based on a variety of factors including skin thickness and target area. Often reverberated deeper to stimulate some of the effects associated with lasers at a deeper level than just 5 cm.

Headache and Migraine Relief: For those plagued by debilitating headaches and migraines, MLS Laser Therapy offers a drug-free alternative. By reducing inflammation and improving blood flow, it can alleviate the frequency and intensity of these painful episodes.

Accelerated Muscle Recovery: Athletes and active individuals can benefit from MLS Laser Therapy’s ability to speed up muscle recovery. It helps reduce inflammation and enhance tissue repair, allowing for faster healing after strenuous workouts or injuries.

Reduced Inflammation: Inflammation is a common factor in many health issues, and MLS Laser Therapy excels at reducing it. By decreasing inflammation, the treatment can improve overall comfort and mobility.

Additional Benefits:

Releases endorphins and enkephalins, as if you were out for a run.
Reconnects nerves and regenerates nerve connectivity.
Brings blood flow to the area and opens up capillaries
Reduces scar tissue and accelerates healing by 40 to 50%.
Increases the osteoblast in the bone, in the first ten days only.
Increases ATP production (cell growth).
Blocks the nociceptors to the brain (the gate theory ).
Allows oxygen and food loads into the cell.
Gets rid of the histamines and cytokines out of the cell.

Applications of MLS Laser Therapy

MLS Laser Therapy has a diverse range of applications, making it a versatile tool for healthcare professionals. It treats pain and inflammation associated with neck and back injuries, work/sports injuries, arthritis, bursitis, tennis/golf elbow, sprains, strains, disc degeneration, spinal stenosis, knee conditions, herniated disc, plantar fasciitis, spondylosis, neuropathy, sciatica, and more. Here are four examples of common applications of Laser Therapy.

Herniated/ Degenerative Discs: Specifically made to target issues such as arthritis, herniated or degenerative discs, shoulder and neck pain, knee pain, spinal stenosis, or any other musculoskeletal pain. Many patients have been able to delay or cancel their surgeries because MLS Laser Therapy was able to alleviate their condition and reduce or eliminate their pain.

Orthopedic Conditions: It’s commonly employed to treat orthopedic conditions like osteoarthritis, tendonitis, and sprains. It can reduce inflammation and built-up scar tissue while encouraging regenerative blood flow back into the surrounding areas. The therapy can even alleviate pain and improve joint function.

Neurological Disorders: It’s increasingly used for neurological conditions such as neuropathy, where it aids in pain management and nerve regeneration.

Wound Healing: In dermatology and wound care, MLS Laser treatments can accelerate the healing process by stimulating collagen production and tissue regeneration. It is utilized nationwide by many national sports teams for rapid recovery from injuries.

Chiropractic and Laser Therapy

Sound Corrections patients already receiving upper cervical chiropractic care have been able to benefit more from their adjustments and keep the alignment of their atlas for much longer due to the addition of MLS Laser Therapy. The partnering of both chiropractics and laser has had positive curative effects and feedback from those who are receiving both treatments.

85-90% of patients feel significantly better in just 2-3 treatments and no longer need treatment after completing the recommended series of treatments. MLS Laser Therapy is quickly becoming one of the newest forms of treatment, providing lasting pain relief for any age group, and is an effective solution to helping you feel healthy. MLS Laser Therapy is revolutionizing the field of pain management and wellness with its numerous benefits, applications, and scientifically backed approach. Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic pain, migraines, or muscle recovery, this non-invasive treatment option is worth considering. With a high 90% efficiency rate, FDA approval with zero side effects, and comparative cost efficiency, MLS Laser Therapy might be a viable option to help you reduce your pain in as little as 1-3 treatments. Don’t let pain hold you back – explore the potential of MLS Laser Therapy and embark on a journey toward a pain-free, healthier life.

Fall and Your Body

Fall brings with it a unique set of physical challenges. The sudden shift in temperature can lead to stiffness and discomfort in our muscles and joints. The increase in rainy or damp weather can exacerbate existing aches and pains, especially for those with arthritis and joint pain. Raking leaves and preparing the garden for winter can strain the back and neck, leading to discomfort and misalignments.

As the leaves turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow and the air becomes crisp and invigorating, it’s evident that autumn has arrived. With the changing of seasons comes a reminder to take care of our health, and what better time to discuss chiropractic and wellness needs and services than amidst the beauty and transformation of fall?

Autumn serves as a poignant reminder that just as nature adapts to change, our bodies need to be nurtured and supported, too. This post will explore the importance of chiropractic care during the fall season, highlighting the unique needs that arise during this time of year as well as describe some of the services our doctors offer to keep you feeling your best.

Chiropractic Services to Address Autumnal Needs

At Sound Corrections, our chiropractors are healthcare professionals trained to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal disorders. They specialize in addressing the needs of their patients through a holistic approach to health and wellness. Here are some chiropractic services that can help you stay healthy and comfortable during the fall season:

Spinal Adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments help align the spine, improving joint mobility and reducing pain. Our Sound Wave Correction technology uses a sound wave to adjust the uppermost bone on the spine referred to as the “atlas”. This gentle adjustment can be key in ensuring the rest of the spine holds its alignment to keep you going. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing discomfort due to seasonal changes or fall-related activities.

Pain Management

Our chiropractors can provide natural pain relief through realignments, atlas correction, laser light therapy, guided use of the hyperbaric chamber, and other services provided based on your individual needs.

Postural Assessments

As the days grow shorter, you may find yourself spending more time indoors or working from home. We can help assess your posture and recommend adjustments to prevent back and neck strain caused by prolonged sitting and extended use of phones, computers, and other tech that can cause one to begin to hunch forward.

Exercise and Stretching Programs

Our chiropractors can recommend exercise and stretching routines uniquely crafted to your specific needs to improve flexibility and strengthen your core, reducing the risk of injuries while engaging in fall activities.

MLS Laser Therapy

Our office offers MLS Laser Light Therapy that can help jump-start the healing process by stimulating blood flow to afflicted or injured areas. Laser light therapy is a noninvasive procedure that reduces inflammation, repairs superficial injuries, increases structural integrity, improves circulation, decreases healing time, and relieves pain so that you can get back out to enjoy this beautiful time of year!

Preventive Care

While chiropractic care can be beneficial for addressing specific issues, it is also a valuable tool for preventive healthcare. Regular visits to your chiropractor can help you maintain optimal musculoskeletal health and overall wellness, ensuring that your body is better equipped to handle the physical demands of fall.

As the autumn season unfolds around us, it’s essential to remember that our bodies need care and attention just like the changing leaves and shifting weather. Our doctors at Sound Corrections offer a natural, holistic approach to address the unique needs that arise during this time of year. Whether you are dealing with fall-related discomfort, migraines, vertigo, general discomfort, pain, or are seeking to maintain your overall health and well-being, consider scheduling an appointment to help you “fall” into health this season. Our team would love to help you preserve your wellness through this shift in seasons. Embrace the autumnal spirit by taking proactive steps to ensure your body is in its best shape as you savor the beauty of fall.
