👣 Weekly Wisdom Spotlight: Your Feet Tell the Story of Your Spine
Your feet aren’t just for walking—they’re the foundation of your entire posture.
💡 Wisdom for the Week: “When your feet are out of balance, your spine follows.”
Flat arches, uneven wear on shoes, or chronic foot pain can signal misalignments that travel up the kinetic chain—affecting knees, hips, and ultimately your spine. Chiropractic care helps restore proper alignment from the ground up.
✅ Check your shoes for uneven wear
✅ Stretch and strengthen your arches
✅ Ask us about foot posture and spinal impact
Your spine listens to your feet more than you think. Let’s make sure they’re sending the right message.

🧠 Weekly Wisdom Spotlight: Your Head’s Not That Light—Posture Matters
Ever heard of “tech neck”? It’s not just a buzzword—it’s a real strain on your spine.
💡 Wisdom for the Week: “Every inch your head moves forward adds extra pounds of pressure to your neck and spine. Good posture isn’t just polite—it’s protective.”
Your head weighs about 10–12 pounds. But tilt it forward just 2 inches, and your neck feels like it’s carrying 20–30 pounds. That’s like wearing a bowling ball necklace all day!
📱 Common culprits:
Looking down at phones
Leaning into screens
Cradling the phone between ear and shoulder
✅ What you can do:
Keep screens at eye level
Take posture breaks every 30 minutes
Stretch your neck gently side to side
Ask your chiropractor about spinal alignment and muscle tension
Your spine supports your story—make sure it’s told upright.

🪑 Weekly Wisdom Spotlight: Reclining Isn’t Relaxing for Your Spine
That comfy slouch in your chair? It might feel good in the moment, but your sacrum disagrees.
💡 Wisdom for the Week: “When you recline while sitting, your sacrum loses its stable foundation—leading to misalignment, tension, and long-term discomfort.”
Your sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of your spine) is designed to anchor your posture. When you lean back or slump, it shifts out of place, which can affect everything from your lower back to your hips and even your gait.
✅ Sit upright with your feet flat
✅ Keep your pelvis neutral—not tucked under
✅ Use lumbar support if needed
Your spine works hard for you—give it the support it deserves.

Backpacks & Back Health: What Every Parent Should Know

With the first day of school just around the corner, kids are gearing up with fresh supplies, new clothes, and - you guessed it - backpacks. But, did you know that improperly worn or overloaded backpacks can lead to long-term spinal stress, poor posture, and even chronic pain?

Here’s what to watch for:
Too Heavy: A backpack should weigh no more than 10-15% of your child’s body weight.
Worn Wrong: Slung over one shoulder or hanging too low? That uneven pressure strains muscles and misaligns the spine.
Posture Problems: Over time, this can lead to rounded shoulders, neck pain, and headaches.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Whether it’s an infant, toddler, teen, or parent, we love supporting families through every stage of life - especially during busy transitions like back to school. Chiropractic care can:

-Restore proper alignment and posture.
-Relieve tension caused by backpack strain.
-Support growing bodies through the school year.

Bonus tip: Look for backpacks with padded straps, waist belts, and multiple compartments to distribute weight evenly.

Let’s make this school year a healthy one - starting with the spine! If your child is experiencing discomfort or you just want to be proactive, we’re here to help.
