Let’s face it, sticking to a resolution can be tough. With the excitement of 2022 upon us, we wanted to offer an idea that your body will thank you for: Getting regular adjustments.

Patients who seek care often remark:

• Movement comes easier
• Injuries become infrequent
• Pain that’s plagued them for years improves

But that’s not even the best part. Chiropractic care isn’t something you have to do every day, or even every week. We’re happy to design a custom care plan for your needs, and ultimately, you’re the boss of how frequently you visit us.

We hope to see more of you and your loved ones in our practice this year.

With Christmas time upon us, we hope it’s a time filled with joy, family, and relaxation for all–and definitely NOT back pain. Sometimes, however, life gets in the way!

To help reduce back pain this month, follow these helpful tips.

Celebrating Christmas? If you’re getting a tree this year, remember, they can be heavy! Lift trees (and heavy gifts for that matter) with your legs instead of your back. This way, you’ll lessen the risk of causing a strained or pulled muscle.

Stay hydrated. With all of the errands this time of year can bring, you’re likely moving around a bit more than usual. Hydration is key for a healthy back as the fluid-filled sacs in your spine need water to stay full.

If you’re travelling, remember to incorporate movement into your day. This may mean taking stops every hour or so if you’re driving to stretch and move your limbs. If you’re flying in a plane, get up and walk the aisles.

Schedule a visit with us. We’ll make sure your spine is well-aligned and ready to handle everything this season has to throw at you.

Five Ways You Can Improve Range of Motion
If you aren’t moving…you aren’t living! At our practice, we believe that movement is life, yet for so many people today, moving is difficult due to decreased range of motion.

When range of motion is inhibited, it’s common to experience pain and discomfort which may lead to overcompensation in other body parts as they try to pick up the slack, beginning a cycle of dysfunction.

Instead of dealing with poor range of motion and the pain it can bring, here are a few different ideas for getting back to proper movement.

1. Don’t let stress get out of control. It’s no secret that stress can cause problems in the body, but did you know it can also keep muscles tense, limiting movement? If you’re feeling stressed before exercising, try some breathing exercises to calm your body so that you don’t go into your workout with already tight muscles.

2. After working out, remember to stretch the muscles you just used. Spend at least 10 minutes doing light to moderate stretching after exercising.

3. Stay hydrated. When your body and muscles don’t get enough water, a variety of health problems can occur—especially relating to tightness and cramps, which can further restrict range of motion.

4. Consider getting a massage. Massage helps to relax tense and tight areas, while promoting circulation that may help with healing.

5. Visit us for an evaluation. We’ve helped numerous patients just like yourself move easier and better with a focused, gentle chiropractic care plan. We’d love to learn more about your goals and help you understand the benefits of adjustments firsthand. Contact us today to learn more. 01628 471381

Blood Flow Boosting Foods.
It’s no secret that proper blood flow is essential to the overall health and function of our body. But how can it be improved? One of the best (and most natural ways) to do so is through nutrition.

If you feel like your circulation could use a boost, consider adding these healthy foods to your diet—or eating more of them without going overboard—and see if you notice a difference.

1. Omega-3s. Fish aren’t the only way to ensure you’re getting Omega-3s into your diet. Protect the lining of your blood vessels with chia seeds and nuts in addition to fish like salmon.

2. Leafy greens. Did you know that leafy greens are good for blood vessel health? Things like arugula, brussels sprouts and broccoli make great sides with dinner.

3. Beets. The benefits of beets have long been studied. Some research even ties fresh beet juice to a reduction in blood pressure. Add beets to your next salad or sandwich!

4. Green tea. A study by the Chiba Hokusoh Hospital in Japan found that green tea intake was related to a lower risk of developing coronary artery disease. Green tea also makes a great pick-me-up during your midday slump.

5. Dark chocolate. No, we’re not kidding! Dark chocolate contains polyphenols that work to mobilise stem cells, which may aid in circulation.

Want to give your circulation and body an even bigger boost? Schedule a visit with us and learn more about the power of natural chiropractic care. We look forward to welcoming you into the practice soon.

Solving Plantar Foot Pain
Do you ever take that first step in the morning only to be met with excruciating heel pain?
Or maybe it sets in after a long day of working on your feet. Whatever the trigger is for you, the likely culprit is something called plantar fasciitis, which is a condition that results in an inflamed ligament that connects your heel bone to your toes.

While it’s often a result of a repetitive strain injury, other causes can include running, exercise, wearing inadequate shoes, jumping, abnormal foot mechanics, and weight gain among others.

At The Spinal Health Clinic, we want you to feel your best naturally. If you’re struggling with foot pain, consider giving the following stretches a try.

Calf stretches. Did you know that a tight calf muscle can make plantar fasciitis more painful? To loosen your calves, do the following stretch. Place your hands against a wall. Keep the knee of your affected foot straight. Bend the other knee while keeping both feet flat on the ground. You should feel a stretch in your calf and heel of the extended leg. Hold this stretch for up to 10 seconds at a time. If you find this position painful, release the stretch immediately.

Towel curls. To work your foot muscles more and give them a stretch, place a hand towel on the ground in front of you while you’re seated in a chair. Place your feet on top of the towel or cloth. Now, grab the center of the towel with your toes as you curl them toward your body. Repeat this a few times.

Toe pickups. In a seated position, place 10 small objects in the ground next to an empty bowl—marbles or something of a similar shape and size will work great. Pick up one item at a time by curling your toes and placing them into the bowl. This helps to exercise and stretch your feet.

Foot Flexes. While seated, place your legs out in front of you. Using an elastic exercise band or a large towel, wrap it around your foot while continuing to hold the ends with your hands. Gently point your toes toward and away from your body, holding each position for a few seconds before switching.

We’re here for you.

Not Sleeping Well? Here’s 5 Possible Culprits:

Are you one of the millions of people across the globe who dread going to bed each night knowing you’re in for a sleepless slumber full of tossing and turning? If that sounds familiar, it’s important to remember that you’re not alone—and more so—we’re here to help.

Here are a few different culprits of poor sleep and what you can do to help give your body the best chance for a solid night of rest.

1. You’re lacking a sleep routine. A sleep routine helps prepare your body for slumber each night. A good sleep routine includes going to bed at the same time every night and waking up at the same time each morning. You can also incorporate things like light stretching before bed, or reading a few pages of a book to help your brain wind down.

2. You’re getting too much screen time before bed. Most electronics emit blue light, which can throw off your circadian rhythm and make it difficult to fall asleep. Try to cut screen time at least one hour before bedtime. If that’s not possible, see if your device has a yellow-light setting that can be turned on in the evening hours.

3. Your mattress is due for an upgrade. As a general rule of thumb, a mattress typically lasts around six to eight years. If you find yourself waking up with aches and pains, an old mattress could be to blame. Other signs of needing a new mattress include squeaky springs, not feeling rested upon waking, and sinking into the middle of the mattress without proper support.

4. You’re drinking caffeine before bed. While sipping evening tea may sound relaxing, if it’s caffeinated you could be doing more harm than good to your sleep schedule. In fact, you shouldn’t consume caffeine within four hours of bedtime for optimal slumber.

5. Your nervous system is out of balance. Your nervous system helps regulate all of the other systems in your body. When it’s not in proper balance, problems like insomnia and disrupted sleep can happen among others. If you’re having trouble sleeping due to back pain or insomnia, give us a call to book an adjustment.

What is Sciatica?
Sciatic pain results when the sciatic nerve is compressed, irritated, or inflamed. Common culprits can be herniated discs, misaligned spinal bones, tense or tight muscles, as well as an injury to or near the nerve. As the longest nerve in your body, it runs from the lower back through the hips, buttocks and down into each leg. As it touches so many crucial parts of your body, it's easy to see how it can become irritated.

Sciatic pain can also be triggered by things like:

Unsupportive shoes
Sitting on a full back pocket—i.e., one with a phone, keys or wallet in it resulting in an uneven seated position
Stress
How to Get Sciatica Under Control
While sciatica can be painful to deal with, there is hope at getting it under control. As slipped or herniated discs, inflammation and misaligned spinal bones are common culprits, giving chiropractic care a try is often a first step. The goal of care with us will be to improve the way your body is functioning, restoring its ability to heal itself naturally through focused, gentle care.

Not only can we provide specific adjustments, but we'll also recommend various stretches and exercises to help you manage and overcome the discomfort.

We look forward to seeing you in the practice soon.
