At a global level low back pain is the leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide and is one of the costliest healthcare conditions in the US. And at a personal level it can limit our ability to live, work, and play due to the pain and limitations that come from the various conditions leading to the low back pain.

How we respond at the onset of a new episode of low back pain can shape our health now and into the future. A recent 2025 study out of the journal of Health Sciences Report showed an association between different initial treatments and long term opioid use disorder. Opioid dependence is considered an epidemic across America and is a rising concern in the healthcare field.

This study observed the association between initial treatments and the likelihood of developing an opioid use disorder. People who first saw a chiropractor compared to first taking ibuprofen were 80% less likely to develop an Opioid Use Disorder in the 2 years following the new onset of low back pain in people both with or without sciatica.

Our choices matter, so let’s make the choices that set us up for the healthiest and happiest future.

Headaches can be related to many different factors including diet or lifestyle habits. Some headaches can be the result of changes in mobility of the neck due to joint or muscle restrictions. These headaches are called cervicogenic because they originate in the neck causing pain in the head especially near of the base of the skull and along the temples.

Cervicogenic headaches typically respond well to conservative care. A recent systematic review published in 2025 compared multiple different conservative options and compared each’s effect on both pain and function. The spinal adjustment of the neck showed the best improvements in both pain and function. Followed by mobilization, exercise, and massage, which all showed some improvements. The spinal adjustment reduced pain by 98.9% and improved neck function by 82.2%.

When dealing with regular headaches, chiropractic care can be a great place to start since it is both safe and effective.

Did you know that Dr. Mallorie Coffman is certified in Webster Technique? Webster Technique addresses the nervous and musculoskeletal systems to help create the best environment for mom and baby to grow and develop.

According to paper published by Ohm and Alcantara "The Webster technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of subluxation and/or SI joint dysfunction. In so doing neurobiomechanical function in the sacral/pelvic region is improved.

The [International Chiropractic Pediatric Association] recognizes that in a theoretical and clinical framework of the Webster Technique in the care of pregnant women, sacral subluxation may contribute to difficult labor for the mother (i.e., dystocia). Dystocia is caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby malpresentation. The correction of sacral subluxation may have a positive effect on all of these causes of dystocia.

In this clinical and theoretical framework, it is proposed that sacral misalignment may contribute to these three primary causes of dystocia via uterine nerve interference, pelvic misalignment and the tightening and torsion of specific pelvic muscles and
ligaments. The resulting tense muscles and ligaments and their aberrant effect on the uterus may prevent the baby from comfortably assuming the best possible position for birth."

Over the past few weeks, we have been talking a lot about physical activity. Any is good. More can be better. But what can physical activity look and feel like? A study published in Psychological Science looked at how our health improves when we simply shift our mindset.

The study followed 84 room attendants working at 7 different hotels whose responsibilities included cleaning hotel rooms. They were split into two different groups. The “informed” group received information at the start of the study detailing the activities that they do at work and how each movement is considered physical activity including examples, and they were also told that they were currently meeting the Surgeon General’s recommendations for an active lifestyle. The control group received none of this information.

Although no behavior changed, when researchers followed up 4 weeks later both perceptions and health outcomes improved for the informed group! They now perceived themselves as getting significantly more exercise daily, and they showed a decrease in weight, blood pressure, body fat, waist-to-hip ratio, and body mass index when compared with the control group.

Our mindset matters! When we are so set on just getting through our work or our chores, we are missing out on the potential value of those very same movements. Whether it’s gardening, mowing the lawn, or carrying your grocery basket, those movements contribute to our health and wellness. But only when we stop and appreciate their value and our effort.

Physical activity can increase your lifespan. The concept may not be a total shocker, but the numbers are a little stunning! Let’s take a look at the study from the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

The researchers used a predictive model looking at the physical activity of Americans over 40 years old and life expectancy. They divided Americans into three groups dependent on their physical activity levels - the lowest quarter, the middle half, and the highest quarter.

The average life expectancy at the time of the study was 78.6 years. For people in the lowest activity quarter, life expectancy dropped to 73 years. And those in the highest activity quarter increased to 82 years. That’s nearly a decade!

For folks who are currently in the lowest level of physical activity, each one hour of walking could add up to an additional 6.3 hours to their life expectancy. That means that an additional hour long walk 4 days out of the week could earn you another FULL day of lifetime. Now that’s a return on investment!

Although not to that great of an extent, the same can be said for folks in the highest level of physical activity levels. For every one hour of walking, you can earn yourself an extra 2 hours and 20 minutes of life expectancy. That’s over two hours out for each hour in.

And the intensity of the physical activity? They used a base of walking one mile in 20 minutes, or 3 miles an hour. For most folks that is a comfortable and conversational pace. Not a marathon distance or sprint speeds. These are speeds and distances that most folks could incorporate at an entry level.

This study makes things look very clear cut, and life never breaks down this simply. But it is a great study to remind us that simple life choices like going for an evening stroll can shape our futures and add hours to our life.
