“No Day Shall Erase You From the Memory of Time” - Virgil

Today, we take time to remember and honor those we lost on one of our country’s darkest days. We remember the sacrifices made. We remember those who responded that day and in the days, weeks, months, and years that followed. We remember those whose lives were forever changed by the events of that day. We think of those who don’t have the luxury of ever forgetting about 9/11 every day because of the holes it left in their lives. Today, we take time to remember. May we never forget.

“One of the worst days in American history saw some of the bravest acts in American history. We'll always honor the heroes of 9/11. Here at this hallowed place, we pledge that we will never forget their sacrifice." — George W. Bush

💡 Decoding Pain: More Than Meets the Eye! 💡

Pain doesn't always mean that you have damage. Surprisingly, pain can linger long after the underlying damage has healed - or it can occur in places where no damage has occurred at all. How? Our body's intricate systems can create a pain loop, keeping us in discomfort.

Our brains can get used to being in pain, and it might forget how to NOT feel pain. Additionally, pain can create compensation patterns in how you move and live, which can exacerbate your initial problem, or create new ones.

Enter Northbound Chiropractic – your partner in breaking free from persistent pain. Our holistic approach focuses on restoring balance to your body. By pinpointing and addressing the root causes of discomfort, we pave the way for healing.

Experience the difference that precise chiropractic adjustments can make. Discover renewed vitality and relief from pain, right here in Delano, MN, and across Wright and West Hennepin Counties.

🧠 Unlocking Pain Relief at the Source: Your Nervous System 🧠

Did you know that your brain has the power to influence how you perceive pain? It's true! The signals from your nerves are processed by the brain, and factors like your emotions and cognitive state can amplify or reduce those signals.

That's where chiropractic care steps in! At Northbound Chiropractic, we focus on optimizing your nervous system's health. Through precise and gentle adjustments, we help ensure that your body is moving well, promoting better communication between your brain and the rest of your body. Adjustments can also create a flurry of neurological activity, which reduces and drowns out incoming pain signals.

By addressing neurological imbalances, we aim to diminish pain signals and enhance your overall well-being. Our other services - including corrective exercise, soft tissue mobilization, and nutritional and lifestyle interventions - help you to experience long-lasting relief.

Ready to take control of your pain? Visit our website northboundchiro.com to learn more about our approach, or feel free to reach out via direct message or call/text us at 763-373-9710 to start your journey towards natural pain relief.

Empower your brain, empower your life! 💫

‼️Your genes are not your destiny‼️

You don’t have to be sick because your mom had diabetes or your dad had heart disease, or whatever.

Your lifestyle choices and your environment control how your genes are expressed, and thus whether or not you will develop an illness, disease, or other condition.

(At least, this is true for most conditions we see today, like diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and so on. Some conditions like Downs Syndrome/Trisomy 21 or Huntingtons Disease are 100% caused by genetic factors that make them harder to alter with lifestyle, but these conditions make up less than 2% of our overall disease burden.)

Your genes load the gun, but your environment pulls the trigger.

The choices that you make and the environment you create - what you eat, how active you are, who you surround yourself with, and so on - affect your disease risk. The lifestyle choices you make impact your genes, activating some and deactivating others.

Another aspect of genetics is this idea that you just have on/off switches for diseases. When it comes to these lifestyle diseases, you don’t simply have a “Diabetes=Yes” gene - you have a gene that changes how your body responds to increased blood sugar, or how responsive you are to insulin, or how able you are to convert excess sugar to fat. These disease-related genes change the function of your body, the pathways of your metabolism. These altered pathways cause disease.

But good news - genes can negatively alter these pathways, but your lifestyle choices positively alter them. You can mitigate these negative effects by eating well, exercising, managing stress, etc. By doing so, you set yourself up to avoid the diseases your family had.

‼️If you’re interested in learning more about your specific genes and how you can improve your health, contact Northbound Chiropractic today! We offer Nutrigenomic Testing, which looks at your genes and how they’re affecting your metabolic pathways, providing us information about choices you can make to best support your health and well-being.‼️

Recent evidence estimates that 50-90% of patients with low back pain have instability.

Stability is how your body controls and resists movement, both intentional (you moving your body) and unintentional (forces acting on your body, like a weight, another sports player, or a shovel full of snow). Instability occurs when you can't control your body or resist movement.

‼️If you're looking to manage your pain or increase your athletic performance, Northbound Chiropractic will work with you to build a personalized plan that works in your life! Schedule online at northboundchiro.com, or call/text (763) 373-9710‼️

Your muscles, ligaments, and brain are all key parts of creating stability. When one of these isn't functioning well, the others must pick up the slack.

Spinal stability can provide a number of benefits, for anyone from a grandparent to a professional athlete. Here are 4 important benefits of spinal stability:

1️⃣ Prevent Injury

2️⃣ Eliminate Micromovements

3️⃣ Increase Athleticism & Performance

4️⃣ Manage Incoming Forces

The world that we live in today is not well-suited for creating spinal stability.

Sitting too much, having poor posture, lifting with poor technique (especially as a job), and generally being in poor physical condition all contribute to lumbar and spinal instability.

A lack of spinal stability creates a poor environment for any physical activity, whether that’s getting out of a chair or playing professional hockey. Since we all move, we all need some sort of stability in our spine.

The good news is that you can train your spine to become more stable & controlled.
