When we are stressed we have a tendency to tense up our muscles, typically in our upper back and neck.

Regular visits to your chiropractor can help ease this tension stored in the body, relieve the symptoms of stress and the damage it can do on your body. Also, when the spine is aligned, the central nervous system is unblocked and can function effectively.

Did you know: collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body? It literally holds you together from your hair, to your skin, to your joints and mobility. It even affects your gut.

As we age, our body slows down production of collagen. But other factors that slow down production of collagen include: poor sleep, too much sugar, injuries, stress, sun, lack of activity and free radicals (just to name a few.)

Taking collagen every day can help you replace what is being missed in your diet.

Most of us have probably heard that crossing your legs is bad for you? But how bad is it really??

According to the American Chiropractic Association, there are some real serious issues that can stem from crossing your legs. The main problem is it can cause issues and pain in your back. Often, it feels more comfortable to sit in a chair with our legs crossed vs flat on the floor. Even though this may feel good in the moment, it can cause asymmetry in your pelvis and low back which can cause irritation and pain. Also, because of the asymmetry and twisting of your body, crossing your legs can cause poor posture (and we all know how that can negatively affect our body and our spine.) There is also some correlation between crossing your legs and a rise in blood pressure and poor circulation.

So what can you do?
Ideally, you should sit with your back straight and your feet flat on the floor. Adjust your chair so your legs are at the right angle and if necessary, use a foot stool. Making sure your workstation is set up properly will help as well! If it is so ingrained in your habits to cross your legs at least try to switch legs frequently, and try to break the habit or lessen the time spent with your legs crossed. Getting adjusted will help with the imbalance you're putting on your hips and your back as well.

Next time you sit down, try to pay attention if you cross your legs or not. Is it always the same leg? Try sitting with your legs flat on the floor instead, your back with thank you!

Chronic pain is a condition that millions of Americans suffer from. A large part of both chronic and acute pain we see in patients at the clinic involves some form of low back pain.

One of the main treatments for low back pain is chiropractic manipulations, however, an additional treatment Dr. Kristin uses to help treat the pain that's associated with back pain is Acupuncture.

According to the Journal of Pain, acupuncture has been proven effective for chronic pain management (such as low back pain) and can have long lasting effects.

New patients are always welcome with us! If you've had an accident or any kind of injury, come to us. Our expert team is all set to help you heal! Chiropractic care is a great way to rehabilitate sports injuries and other health problems. You can often prevent surgery with chiropractic care! Your body's healing processes can't work properly if your nervous system isn't at 100%. If the vertebrae surrounding your spinal cord lose their normal position, your nervous system may not function properly. At Hess Family Chiropractic, we can help! You won't have to worry about getting care that is perfectly suited for your child's age, health factors, and personal needs. Dr. Kristin Hess is an active member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and has advanced training in pediatric care. With all of the changes that happen during pregnancy, proper chiropractic care is even more important for women during this time. Fortunately, Dr. Kristin Hess is a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, is Webster certified and also has advanced training in pediatric and prenatal care. Acupuncture is Chinese medicine that has been practiced for over 5000 years. Simply, acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body's surface in order to control function of the body. It is based on the theory that energy known as Qi (pronounced chee) flows along channels, or pathways throughout the body. Because Qi controls one's emotional, physical and mental aspects of life, when it is hindered or unbalanced, one's health may be affected.
