Want to protect your brain as you age?

A recent study found that an anti-inflammatory diet full of whole grains, fruits, and veggies can lower one's risk of dementia by 31%! 🍎🥦

For those with heart disease or diabetes, this diet not only reduced dementia risk but also showed better brain health on scans.

So, choosing nutritious foods might be a simple way to support your brain and keep it sharp. 🧠

Is your child’s backpack causing them back pain or poor posture? 🎒📚

Backpack safety is essential for preventing these issues. Ensure the backpack is no more than 10-15% of your child’s body weight, and encourage them to use both straps to distribute the weight evenly.

Check out our detailed infographic for more tips and guidelines on keeping your child’s back healthy! https://bit.ly/3WRrgEs 🙌

Do you sense your ankle hasn’t felt the same since you sprained it? 🤔

After an ankle sprain, some cases progress to chronic ankle instability.

One essential goal of ankle rehab is to restore range of motion and strength before it progresses to a chronic issue.

But there's good news for those who develop chronic problems. Strengthening and balance exercises can still help restore ankle function, even in patients with chronic instability. 🙌

Pain on the bottom of your heel with the first few steps in the morning? 🦶

This is a common symptom of plantar fasciitis.

While it may feel that the plantar fascia is tight and needs to be loosened, recent research has actually found that it is less stiff in those with plantar fasciitis!

This is why it is important to implement the correct stability program to return the fascia back to its normal stiffness!

We treat plantar fasciitis at our office! Check out this infographic for more information. 👍 https://bit.ly/46EjX6w

Concussions are a serious condition that requires proper care.

While concussions typically involve trauma to the brain, they can also strain the surrounding muscles in the neck and shoulder region.

Chiropractors can play a valuable role in the treatment team, helping manage both the concussion itself and associated musculoskeletal pain. 🙌

Increased pain in the lower back? 👎

Pressing on the muscles in the lower back shouldn’t usually cause pain or discomfort. However, those experiencing lower back pain are more sensitive to pressure.

Chiropractic adjustments help reduce this increased sensitivity to pressure, which is one reason they are useful for those with low back pain.

Head, shoulders, knees, and toes! 🎶

Even as kids, we sang about how the head and shoulders are related.

A recent research article found that those with neck pain had longer reaction times and decreased shoulder movement accuracy.

So, while neck pain is literally a pain in the neck, it also impacts the movement of other areas.

Let us point you in the right direction. 👉 Make an appointment today.
