Today in the office, I was reminded that Chiropractic is MY superpower. What’s yours?

(Backstory: This absolute hammer of a surfing pal of mine had a significant knee injury a few months back, and had been favoring one leg versus the other. As a result, he had developed a monstrous leg length difference as seen in the photo above. A series of specific chiropractic adjustments, and voilà…see the photo below, taken six minutes after.)

How’s this for a “before vs. after”?

This was a young, fit 31-yr old firefighter who had been having low back and right hip, knee, and ankle pain, ongoing for several months. After a careful evaluation, a simple leg length check revealed what you see in the above picture (of the two photos below).

When people have leg length discrepancies that significant, it throws off the left-to-right weight distribution and balance, and can create excessive wear-and-tear on one side.

In his case, he is a shredded 180 pounds, but instead of carrying 90 lbs on right and 90 on the left side, he was carrying 81 lbs on the left and 99 pounds on the right. Overtime, this increases the compressive (i.e jamming or crushing) forces, which affected his weight-bearing joints, specifically the foot, ankle, knee, and hip, as well as his lower back.

A few gentle, specific lower back and pelvic adjustments, along with some recommendations for corrective exercises, and…voilà! (See below photo)

Balance restored. Pain almost entirely gone. Flexibility and mobility massively improved.

Most importantly, he is now able to return to doing all the things he loves to do, sans the pain.

In this week’s Atlas Wellness blog, we discuss a fascinating topic that applies to every single one of us, something we will all deal with at some point in our life: degenerative arthritis, which is wear-and-tear on the spine and other joints in the body. More importantly, we discuss how you can slow down and delay the inevitable, and maintain the health of your joints, so you can enjoy life to the fullest for as long as possible!

Have you had any lingering joint or muscle pain that in spite of all the therapies you’ve done, still rears its ugly head in the most inopportune time? Maybe look within…if you are eating garbage, then your internal environment is garbage, and one of the main reasons you are not healing—simple as that.

In this week’s Atlas Wellness blog, we discuss optimal nutrition for injury prevention and recovery.

Latest blog entry, on boosting immunity! Check it out and share away!

Lately, it seems that even in a presumably vitamin D-abundant, sunny paradise such as Southern California, there is an epidemic of flu and colds, and this year’s strain is particularly violent, vicious, and virulent. Especially now with social media, it becomes painfully evident how prevalent it t...
