Pain can be caused by something physical as well as something chemical or emotional. Usually it's an ever-changing combination of all three. One usually affects the others. These causes are oftentimes chronic in nature, lasting months to years before ever experiencing pain, soreness, tension, and other unpleasant sensations.

Don't wait for an injury to get your spine back in shape. Listen to your body and get started today!

Back to School Tip #2
Wearing your backpack properly

While a backpack is worn, the heaviest books/items should be closest to the spine. The furthest item from the spine should weigh the least.

Both backpack straps should always be used to prevent unilateral excess weight bearing on the shoulders and spine, which can lead to headaches, muscle and posture imbalances/asymmetries, neck and back pain, among many other symptoms.

The bottom of the backpack should sit no lower than the very top of the glutes. If you or your child are unable to wear the backpack at that level, the backpack may be too large or too small.

Back to School Tip #1
Whether you drive children to school or commute to school/college....

Pay attention to your shoulder blades while you drive. If they pull too far up and out, your head and upper back will be pulled forward, causing more stress to your neck, upper/mid back, and low back. Shoulders back...chest out. Have an amazing Labor Day weekend, from your friends in health!

We often help patients discover that their posture is affecting the way they sit, stand, and walk. If pain, pressure, and/or posture is severe enough, your body may lean with poor posture and/or leaning away from pain and inflammation of a spinal disk and/or spinal nerve. Left uncorrected, your spine, as well as joints like your ankle, knee, and hips will take a prolonged imbalance of weight and pressure, moreso on one side compared to the other. This is not sustainable. Joints can only take this beating for so long before either injury occurs, or until surgery is one day needed. For many patients, chiropractic care is often started due to pain or mild injury, but soon transitions to a proactive change of lifestyle in order to avoid future injury and surgery, and to live and feel and function the way they need.

At our office, we often find problematic spinal curves on x-ray that the patient didn't know they had. All they knew is that they had some type of discomfort which usually includes stiffness and tension. Here is a classic case. When we have poor posture, our muscles end up in a tug-of-war between bones and joints, being pulled from both directions, leading to eventual stiffness and tension that can become uncomfortable and can even lead to other symptoms in other parts of your body, if left uncorrected. Our muscles can only take this constant pulling for so long before either discomfort, pain, dysfunction, or injury occur. A curve in the spine will pull on muscles from the shoulers, neck, base of the skull, and many other structures. By primarily correcting the curve and poor posture, the tension, stiffness, and discomfort will subside in time, with repetition.
