The Duke Clinical Research Institute states that, "Low back pain is the leading cause of years lived with disability...Evidence supports.. spinal manipulation, acupuncture and exercise as first line care." Our doctors use a gentle yet effective form of spinal manipulation called Cox Distraction to decrease pressure on discs and nerves and restore normal range of motion of the joints. Our doctors use acupuncture to treat a wide variety of conditions including lower back pain and are well versed in exercises to stabilize the lower back.

It was with great sadness that we've learned of the passing of our mentor, Dr. James Cox. To say that he was a giant in our field is an understatement. Dr. Cox is largely to thank for anyone who has gained benefit from Chiropractic services in our office. We were honored that Dr Cox asked Dr. Miller to co-author two separate papers with him. We have spent many hours under Dr. Cox's tutelage and will do our best to carry on this man's amazing legacy. Rest in peace to our mentor and friend, Dr. James Cox.

Due to inclement weather, we will be closed on Thursday, February 20th and Friday, February 21st. See our previous post for tips on proper form with shoveling snow. Enjoy the snow and stay safe!

It's a Winter Wonderland in Hampton Roads this morning! The parking lot and sidewalks have been shoveled but may still be slippery so proceed with caution if you have an appointment with us today. If you are shoveling snow, try bending your knees and hips to keep the pressure off of the lower back. Breathe in as you lift or push. Breathe out as you throw. Remember to take frequent breaks. Being out in the cold can cause your blood vessels to constrict. Within just 2 minutes of shoveling, your heart can reach 85% of its maximum heart rate, according to the American Heart Association. Stay safe as you enjoy playing in the snow!

Happy New Year! When thinking about your health goals for 2025, consider that just 21 minutes per day of moderate exercise may greatly improve your life expectancy, even in sedentary individuals with diabetes.

If neck or back pain is preventing you from exercising, contact us and see how you can start living the active life that you desire.

In adults with diabetes, meeting guideline-recommended physical activity may offset the elevated all-cause and heart disease mortality risk associated with excessive sitting time.
