Heel pain holding you back? 👣

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It affects people who are on their feet for long periods or who increase their activity too quickly (like runners).

Chiropractic care can help by addressing problems in the feet, ankles, or even lower back that may contribute to excess strain on the plantar fascia. 🦶

Did you pull a hammy? 🦵

Hamstring strains are common with running. This is because the hamstrings must slow down the leg as it swings.

When it comes to prevention and returning to sport, the Nordic hamstring curl is the go-to exercise for helping strengthen the hamstrings. However, if the Nordic hamstring curl is too difficult, there are other exercises that we recommend to help!

Sprint (or carefully walk) into our clinic to see how we can help! 🏃‍♀️

Did you know your body composition is crucial to back health as you age? 💡

A recent study found that men over 60 with higher muscle mass experienced less back pain and disability over 10 years. On the other hand, gaining just 7 pounds in 5 years increased the risk of back pain-related disability.

Strength training to build lean muscle and maintaining a healthy weight are essential for keeping your back strong and pain-free as you age! 🙌 Check out this infographic for more tips on healthy exercise! https://bit.ly/3kbu22X

Could low back pain during pregnancy increase the risk of falling? 🤰

According to a recent study, those with increased low back and pelvic pain during pregnancy had reduced postural stability.

This means that treating low back and pelvic pain during pregnancy is essential to reduce the discomfort but also to decrease the risk of falls. 💪

Do you experience shin splints when you run? The solution might be your foot! 🦶

An “active arch” or “short-foot” exercise helps build up the strength of the small, supportive foot muscles.

Doing this exercise has been shown to reduce the stress placed on the shins while running. 🏃

Here's how: Stand shoeless on the affected leg with your foot flat. Engage your arch muscles to raise the arch without curling your toes or lifting the ball of your foot.

Have you ever noticed that your lower back pain is worse in one direction? ⬆️⬇️

For example, some low back pain episodes are worse when bending forward and better when bending backward, and obviously vice versa.

This is known as “directional preference” and is one way we customize a treatment program for resolving low back pain.

This approach has been found to be beneficial for pain and function for at least six months. 👍So, if you or someone you know suffers from back pain, give us a try!
