When you are not receiving consistent chiropractic care......you can "GET YOURSELF IN A PICKLE" (IT'S NATIONAL PICKEL DAY ) 😁🥒
Chronic pain can lead to significant changes in brain structure and function, affecting mood, cognitive abilities, and overall quality of life.
Chiropractic care is centered on the belief that the body has an innate ability to heal itself. Our doctors focus on the structure of the body, particularly the spine, and use various techniques to restore proper alignment and function. We also offer spinal decompression and laser therapy to help alleviate pain and improve overall body function, especially for those suffering from chronic pain conditions.
CHIROPRACTIC AND THE BRAIN:
Chiropractic care plays a significant role in supporting brain function and communication between the brain and body. Chiropractic adjustments can enhance sensorimotor integration, increase cortical activity, and improve stress regulation and body awareness. These benefits contribute to a more balanced and efficient nervous system, potentially improving various aspects of brain function and cognitive performance.
So, the bottom line is that we don't want you to get yourself in a pickle by not getting adjusted! Call us today and get in the schedule....... then reward yourself with a BIG FAT JUICY PICKLE!! 🥒

1. CHIROPRACTIC CARE CAN REDUCE THE RISK OF FALLING
As people es weaker joints and muscles that contribute to a lack of balance. This can lead to an increased risk of a slip and fall injury. With chiropractic care, the elderly don’t have to be as afraid. Chiropractic care improves mobility, flexibility, and balance so that those who are getting older can still feel steady on their feet.
2. CHIROPRACTIC CARE CAN REDUCE CHRONIC PAIN
Spinal misalignments disrupt the flow of communication from the brain to the rest of the body. When the body can’t communicate, it can lead to pain. When pain isn’t dealt with, over time, it becomes a chronic problem.
Getting adjusted can restore nerve communication and can help alleviate the pain.
3. CHIROPRACTIC CARE IS BENEFICIAL FOR THE JOINTS
Wear and tear on the body can affect the joints. Over time, the cartilage between joints can wear down, causing bones to rub together. When the elderly experience pain, it can affect their ability to exercise or move around, which in turn, only leads to more pain as it worsens. Regular chiropractic adjustments can reduce joint pain.
4. CHIROPRACTIC CARE INPROVES BALANCE AND COORDINATION
Degeneration of the joints and spine can cause poor posture than affect balance and coordination. Regular chiropractic care can improve posture to improve balance. It can also increase the range of motion in the joints and reduce the tightness of muscles and ligaments by improving the function of the musculoskeletal system.
5. CHIROPRACTIC CARE IMPROVES OVERALL HEALTH AND WELLBEING
It’s not just the musculoskeletal system that benefits from chiropractic care, it’s the entire body as well. Neurologically based chiropractic care focuses on improving whole-body health. There are many incredible benefits of regular chiropractic care that can improve the function of the entire body for the elderly. If you, or someone you know are not taking advantage of these benefits, call us today! 🧐💪
Our doctors are some of the most caring, gentle and experienced that you will ever meet! 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

It's that wonderful time of the year again! 🍁
Raking leaves seems harmless, but it engages multiple muscle groups in the back, shoulders, and core. Often people are doing this for long periods of time without taking any breaks. The most common causes of back strain include:
REPETITIVE MOTION:
The same twisting and pulling movements affect the body fatigue muscles quickly.
IMPROPER MOTION:
Hunching or bending over at the waist places strain on spinal joints and discs.
OVERREACHING:
Extending the arms and twisting simultaneously stresses the lower back and neck.
HEAVY LOADS:
Wet leaves weigh more than you think. Lifting or dragging full bags can cause strain or injury.
COLD MUSCLES:
Starting yard work without warming up/ stretching out those muscles increases the risk of strains and spasms.
Even people in good shape can experience soreness or injury after hours of raking if their posture or movement is incorrect.
If YOU have done this and are in pain, we can help!
Come in and get adjusted and ask us about Laser Therapy!
We are here Monday-Saturday and have extended hours! 📲📆

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! 👻🎃👹🍬🍭
It may be the spooky season, but there is nothing spooky about taking care of your body! Call us before you head out tonight.....we will check your spine and make sure that you are all set to have fun! 💀
CHIROPRACTIC HALLOWEEN TIPS

1. WARM UP BEFORE ALL OF THE FUN ACTIVITES
Just like any physical activity, it’s important to warm up your muscles before you start in all of the Halloween-related fun. Take a few minutes to stretch your back, shoulders, and legs to reduce the risk of injury. 🏃

2. LIFT WITH YOUR LEGS NOT YOUR BACK
If you’re lifting heavy decorations, pumpkins, or bags of candy, always lift with your legs rather than your back. Keep your back straight, bend your knees, and engage your leg muscles to lift the weight. This will prevent strain on your spine and lower back. 🏋🏻‍♂️

3. DISTRIBUTE WEIGHT EVENLY
When carrying heavy items, like a pumpkin or candy bag, make sure the weight is evenly distributed. If you’re carrying a heavy bag of candy on one side, switch arms regularly to avoid overloading one side of your body. A backpack with padded straps is a better option for trick-or-treaters! 🎒

4. CHOOSE COMFORTABLE SHOES AND COSTUMES
Costumes that restrict your movement or shoes with poor support can lead to aches and pains and create poor posture. Try for costumes that allow for free movement and try to wear comfortable, supportive shoes, especially if you’ll be on your feet for long periods. If you can, avoid high heels or shoes that may cause foot or back pain. 👟

5. STAY HYDRATED
Drinking plenty of water is essential for keeping your muscles and joints healthy, especially if you’re engaging in physical activities like walking for miles. Staying hydrated helps prevent muscle cramps and promotes proper joint lubrication. 🥛💧

6. TAKE BREAKS
If you’re participating in prolonged Halloween activities, such as pumpkin carving or walking while trick-or-treating, take regular breaks. Stretching during these breaks can help prevent muscle stiffness and joint pain.
As always, we are here for you and hope that you all have a safe and enjoyable evening!!👻🎃👹🍬🍭
