Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) can make lifting your arm or reaching for something on a shelf difficult. This condition happens when the shoulder joint becomes stiff and inflamed. 💪

The good news is that studies show that adding midback adjustments to stretching and strengthening can speed up recovery, reduce pain, and improve shoulder movement!

How does a spinal adjustment work? 🤔

Adjustments free up “stuck” spinal joints and decrease spinal stiffness. The audible pop that you hear is from the air in those facet joints. 💨

That explains why, after an adjustment, you feel looser and more mobile! Check out this infographic for more information! https://bit.ly/3KuccX7

This Sunday is -- which is observed every Oct. 16 by health care professionals and public organizations concerned with spine care throughout the world.

It recognizes the importance of spine health, as well as the lack of access to quality spine care and rehabilitation in under-served communities, which can make low back pain become more than an inconvenience. Back pain is also one of the primary causes of emergency room visits and one of the leading causes of initial opioid prescriptions. Unchecked, lack of care can result in long-lasting damage and chronic pain, inhibiting your ability to work, care for your family and enjoy life.

The June 2019 report by the Canadian Pain Task Force notes, “The burden of chronic pain is not shared equally among Canadians. It is more common among older adults, females, Indigenous Peoples, Veterans, and populations affected by social inequities and discrimination…These social determinants can lead to a complex interplay between chronic pain, mental illness, and substance use disorders. Combined with the stigma that accompanies these health issues, this places many at high risk for unmanaged pain.”

Share our message and help bring awareness to the global burden of spinal disorders and the importance of good spine health.
