For me, Chiropractic is a rewarding career. I have a fun job which has resulted in many good friends and loyal patients. Now let's get down to business. With the continued use of cell phones and prolonged time on the computer, poor posture is rampant . Poor posture puts stress on the spine which includes the bones, cartilage, ligaments and of course the nerves. This stress eventually leads to pain and suffering. The suffering is often joint pain, muscle fatigue with pain and headaches. Some people can get radiating pain or numbness down their legs or arms. Below are some good general rules that can help with posture. I find that Chiropractors, Physical Therapists and fitness trainers can all help to improve your posture, especially with exercise.

How's your posture? If you often find yourself slouching or experiencing back pain from sitting for long periods of time, check out these tips!

At age 38 I had a pretty serious lower back injury while windsurfing in the bay area. I had a damaged disc in my lower back and could hardly stand or walk. I got three medical options. Two suggested surgery and one doctor said let's give it time.
I decided to give it more time but needed to get back in shape so I could work. Being somewhat of a water person, I decided to use swimming, some gentle chiropractic, ice, muscle stimulation and of course much rest as means for my rehabilitation . The first day it was difficult to even walk to the pool. I started by slowly walking in the shallow water. I did this for only 5 minutes. It seemed that each day I got a little better.

If you sometimes wonder why you put yourself through the pain of tough workout after tough workout, you’re not alone. But in what may seem like a paradoxical relationship, fighting through the pain of a challenging swim could be a smart, drug-free way to reduce or manage other kinds of pain. That....

As we age, we lose flexibility and balance. Bone strength and density often decreases as well. Falls in the elderly can lead to bone fractures and serious health issues. The good news is we can help improve extremity and spinal flexibility with exercise and stretching. Spinal adjustments from a chiropractor can also free up fixated or restricted spinal joints with spinal manipulations or adjustments. It is also easier to balance with a well aligned spine. There are many effective balance improving exercise programs as well.

Chiropractic care has the potential to mitigate many factors that contribute to fall risk in older adults, including:

❌Reduced musculoskeletal strength and flexibility
❌Chronic pain and polypharmacy
❌Diminished proprioception and vestibular function
❌Overall compromised gait health, mobility, balance confidence and self-efficacy
