What is therapeutic ultrasound? Therapeutic ultrasound works to heat tissue in the body, such as tendons, muscles, and ligaments, to help with increasing circulation, reducing adhesion formation, and decreasing stiffness and spasms of the muscles (to name a few). Another area of treatment we can use therapeutic ultrasound for is mastitis.

Mastitis can be caused due to milk ducts becoming inflamed and narrowed, which in turn can cause pain, swelling, and irritation of the breast tissue. Therapeutic ultrasound can help heat the breast tissue and help to calm down some of the inflammation within the milk ducts. Our office sees nursing mothers all the time, so if you or someone you know is having issues with mastitis, come on in and ask about therapeutic ultrasound!

If you've tried therapeutic ultrasound in our office before, leave a comment to let us know how it worked for you!

Why should you get adjusted? Let's talk all about subluxations!

What is a subluxation?
➡️A subluxation is where one or more of the bones in your spine have shifted and fall out of proper alignment. When this happens, this can cause:

🚫Pressure being placed on the nerves of the spine
🚫Disruption of the communication between the body and the brain
🚫Creation of pain and tension throughout the body; including symptoms such as headaches or digestive issues (to name a few)

How do chiropractic adjustments help?
Chiropractic adjustments can help to gently realign these misaligned segments, which in turn, can help:

✅Restore function to the nerves
✅Reduce pain and inflammation
✅Improve range of motion, spinal mobility, and posture
✅Give your body the boost it needs to help it heal itself

Your nervous system is an important part of your body and controls almost everything you do! When your nervous system isn't functioning at it's full potential, neither are you.

Whether it's general discomfort or you just want to keep functioning at your best, regular chiropractic adjustments can help keep your spine and body healthy and happy!

Diaphragmatic breathing is a great exercise you can do at home to help not only retrain your body to breathe more efficiently, but it can also help to provide better support and stabilization to your lower back. Your lumbar spine and pelvis are your supports to the house that is your nervous system, so it's important to provide it with the best stabilization it can achieve. Here are some great progressions to retrain yourself to breathe more efficiently and to provide your nervous system with a better stabilized foundation. I also have created a further reading for those of you who are more curious as to how this is important which I will have linked on our website!
