Constantly looking down at your device?
This could be straining your neck! 😖

When your neck is aligned, your spine will work properly.
When tilted forward to check messages, it adds pressure on your neck like holding a bowling ball at arm’s length 🎳, leading to headaches, neck pain, and shoulder tension.

Protect your spine with these simple steps:
✔️ Raise your device to eye level
✔️ Take regular screen breaks
✔️ Try the “head retraction” exercise:

Stand with your back against a wall, push your head into the wall, hold for 5 seconds, and repeat throughout the day.

Small adjustments to your screen time can make a BIG difference! Visit us to learn more about protecting your posture. 🙌

We all have realized that our poor posture can be the cause of our back or neck pain. But did you realize it can can also be the cause for:

Heartburn
Slowed digestion
Constipation
Incontinence

Aside from physical pain it can cause physiological changes in different organs and systems in the body.
If there is an effect on the nervous system causing a dysregulated nervous system it can lead to psychological issues affecting your brain and emotions like;

Brain fog
Trouble focusing
Fatigue
Depressed like state

Chiropractic care helps to correct postural changes in the body and help alleviate all the other issues that you never thought could be affected.

If you feel you need help to determine if chiropractic can help you, give us a call!

This weekend we had the pleasure of hosting our annual Women’s Wellness Day for a group of women at our practice. While we all try to maintain a healthy and preventative lifestyle, these women always commit to learning new and alternative methods to keeping their bodies functioning optimally!
We are thrilled to now offer Naturopathic Medicine with Dr. Christina Appleton who taught us how acupuncture on the face would be beneficial to keeping our skin looking healthy and decreasing those fine lines.
Jacki was ready to demonstrate how amazing it feels to have someone work on your feet with Reflexology. Dr. Sylvia also uses cupping to help decrease any inflammation and tight sore muscles to relax. We have also added Red Light Therapy to help anyone who would like to speed up healing from muscular aches and pains or would like to boost their energy or even help sleep a little better. We also realize that working out sometimes at a gym isn’t for everyone, so dancing 💃 specifically Salsa, demonstrated and taught by Gorete is a fantastic way to keep moving and get your heart rate up and strengthen our core and legs and buttock muscles!😊😅

A strong posture means a spine that is balanced and a nervous system that is working optimally. How is your posture today?! If you don’t feel it’s strong maybe it’s time for a chiropractic adjustment to help you.

Chiropractic care balances your spine and allows the nervous system to work at its peak potential which therefore can optimize all systems of the body working optimally.
