Your spine wasn’t designed for today’s lifestyle—and that matters.

Biologists have long recognized that the human spine is not an ideal adaptation to constant upright posture. While our bodies evolved for movement, variation, and short periods of sitting, modern life demands the opposite—hours of sitting in classrooms, at desks, in cars, and on devices.

📱 Laptops, phones, tablets
🪑 Prolonged sitting at school or work
🔁 Repetitive, monotonous postures

These stresses were never part of our original design—and over time, they can place strain on the spine and nervous system, affecting how well the body functions and adapts.

That’s where chiropractic care comes in.
Chiropractors focus on spinal alignment and nervous system health, helping your body adapt more effectively to the physical demands of modern education, industries, and technologies—so you can move, function, and live better.

✅ Support spinal health
✅ Improve adaptability and function
✅ Address postural stress before it becomes a bigger problem

In a study, patients under long-term chiropractic care (2+ years) had significantly higher levels of serum thiols—powerful antioxidants linked to DNA repair and longevity. Their levels were higher than both short-term care patients and healthy non-chiropractic subjects. This suggests chiropractic care helps restore normal physiology and supports the body’s natural healing capacity.Chris Kent DC suggesting it helps reduce oxidative stress and supports cellular health with higher levels often seen in long term wellness patients compared to those with active disease, potentially linking Chiropractic to disease resilience and better aging

📱🎮 Posture Matters: Kids, Screens & Growing Spines 🧒📱

Today’s kids are growing up in a digital world—cell phones, video games, tablets, and iPads are part of everyday life. But what we’re seeing more and more in children is “tech posture”: rounded shoulders, forward head position, and slouched spines.

When a child looks down at a screen, the head shifts forward. For every inch the head moves forward, the neck and spine experience significantly more stress. Over time, this can affect:
• Posture and spinal development
• Balance and coordination
• Muscle strength and flexibility
• Headaches, neck pain, and fatigue
• Breathing and focus

Children’s spines are still developing. Repeated hours in poor positions can train the body into unhealthy movement patterns that may follow them into adulthood.

What parents can do:
✔ Encourage screen breaks every 20–30 minutes
✔ Raise screens to eye level instead of looking down
✔ Promote active play and movement daily
✔ Model good posture yourself
✔ Have your child’s posture and spinal health checked regularly

Healthy posture isn’t about perfection—it’s about awareness, balance, and support while kids grow. Call 718 837 0048 to have your and your family’s posture checked!

🌟 Mind & Body Connection 🌟

"Everything we experience is processed through our nervous system. If our nervous system is not functioning to its optimal level, our perception of the world is distorted and our ability to respond appropriately is compromised. This not only affects our physical health, but also our emotional and psychological function as well." — Christopher Kent, DC✨

Let's prioritize our nervous system health! Remember, a well-functioning nervous system is key to living a balanced and fulfilling life. How do you take care of your nervous system? Call Dr. Baudille at 718 837 0048 to begin!

Car accidents often lead to injuries that can linger for weeks or even months. Whiplash is one of the most common, causing neck pain, stiffness, and headaches from the sudden force of impact. Back pain is another frequent issue, as the spine absorbs much of the shock during a collision. Many people also experience headaches and soft tissue injuries, leading to muscle soreness and inflammation. Learn more about whiplash in the linked article below from Verywellhealth.

A whiplash injury can affect the neck, back, nerves, and central nervous system. Learn how to support healing after an accident.

The Role of Chiropractic In Immunity

The body has the ability to heal itself and chiropractic theory says that when the nervous system is free from obstruction the body can respond more effectively resulting in improved
overall health. Chiropractic is about removing obstructions to the proper functioning of the nervous system, improving connections and the flow of information. These obstructions are caused by shifts in the bones (vertebra) that make up the spine and these shifts obstruct the nervous system and create an obstruction and a disconnect. Because the nervous system controls and coordinates all functions in the body, obstructing or disconnecting it can have an effect on every function of the body -
and it often does. These obstructions are referred to as vertebral subluxations in the scientific literature and adjusting them is how chiropractic removes those obstructions and helps people stay connected and
healthy.

If you’re interested in getting checked for a vertebral subluxation and improve health and happiness call 718 837 0048 for an appointment.
