Can you believe we are already half way through January? Where is the month going. With a new year comes new goals. What is your goal with the health of your spine? Will you be proactive with your health or wait till you have symptoms in your neck or your back that keep you from going to work, performing you regular daily activities or just feeling your best? There has never been a better time to get healthy and stay healthy. Give us a call today to keep your health on track. We are accepting new patients. Existing patients can easily return for care with an update of your current health and an examination. See you soon. 253-867-2655

It's that time of year and the roads are wet and becoming slippery, so please be careful out there. If you are injured in a motor vehicle collision, give us a call so that we can schedule you for an evaluation, treatment or even a referral to another appropriate provider. The sooner you are evaluated after a collision, the more likely any injuries you sustain will have a better outcome of resolving. Injuries can occur with any amount of damage to your car and often pain increases over the first few days after the collision. If you are unsure of what to do after a motor vehicle collision, give us a call and we can help to answer your questions.

How's everyone doing today? We are in the office with regular business hours taking care of acute care, as well as auto and work injuries. If you know someone who has been in an accident and is not sure where to go, tell them to call us. I can discuss their case over the phone and determine if it is something we can help with. If we can't help, I will help find the proper referral. We are screening all potential new patients for any symptoms that may not allow for an immediate appointment, (fever, recent cough, tiredness, difficulty breathing, etc.). We are here to help during this difficult time. Stay safe, everyone!

Anyone that is having trouble with working from home, here is a link to some stretches that you can do throughout the day. I looked through a number of sites and I liked this one because the images give you an idea of the motion involved. One thing to add is standing periodically throughout your day to stretch is also quite beneficial as well as getting up to go for a short walk. Also, your chair may not allow for some of these stretches, so try and get creative and modify if needed. If anyone has questions about any of these stretches or possible modifications for your needs, you can email me directly at drstadnikdc@gmail.com . Yes, I am in the office treating patients today and I am happy to help. Stretching and movement will help to minimize your stress levels, which we could all use right now. In health, -Dr. Stadnik, DC

There are more people than ever working from home right now. More than likely your work station is your couch or kitchen table or even your bed. How's that working for you? Without having a work station that is ergonomically correct for you, it is very difficult to keep postural stress from causing neck and back pain. Make sure you are getting up and stretching every 30 minutes, if possible. This will help to break the pattern of whatever position you are in. Let's hope you can get back to your regular work station soon, but, remember to make stretching a part of your daily routine.
