What if I told you your disc didn’t slip. It didn’t move, grove, or glide around your lower back. It didn’t pop or crackle or snap.
The intervertebral disc provide support and cushion the spine from everyday activity, walking, jumping, running. They are held in place by strong cartilage and don’t move.
What it can do is herniate and it can cause a tremendous amount of pain.
If you experience pain into your butt, leg, calf, or foot or even all the above, call us today.
Little problems turn into big problems when left untreated.

When coming up with a healthy eating plan for losing weight, there’s a tendency to think only about food and not consider drinks.
There are plenty of calories in liquids and an easy way to fix this is to stick with water.
Coffee itself has no calories, just make sure you skip the cream and sugar.

The only crate challenge I’m participating in.

“I think I pulled a muscle”
“I think I slept wrong”
“I sit at the desk all day”
“My kids/husband are driving me crazy”
“I fell off the ladder...again”

All common explanations for neck pain.

Straining a muscle and sleeping wrong will cause neck pain and even headaches, extended desk work and eye strain will cause neck pain and headaches. Stress and anxiety will cause increased joint, neck pain and of course, trauma, whether that is falling off a ladder, the couch, or the toilet, can lead to neck pain.

No matter how it started, we are here to fix it.

Federal physical activity guidelines recommend that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise each week, in addition to muscle-strengthening activities at least twice a week. But according to the new NCHS report, which drew on five years of data from the National Health Interview Survey, only about 23% of adults ages 18 to 64 are hitting both of those marks. Another 32% met one but not both, and almost 45% did not hit either benchmark.

Take care of yourself first.

Let’s talk about that pot of coffee you drink to get your day started.....

Among people with no diagnosis of heart disease, regular coffee consumption of 0.5 to 3 cups of coffee a day was associated with a decreased risk of death from heart disease, stroke and early death from any cause when compared to non-coffee drinkers.

It's another home run for coffee consumption. Studies have found drinking moderate amounts of coffee can protect adults from type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, liver disease, prostate cancer, Alzheimer's, computer back pain and more.

Do you have popping when you move your shoulder?
Maybe you have difficulty sleeping at night from shoulder pain?
Shoulder pain is a common injury we see on a daily basis.
Pain in the shoulder can originate from many tissues in the shoulder. From the rotator cuff, biceps tendon, bursa or labrum, each can cause pain when injured and each needs a specific treatment for full recovery.
