Please use the link below! Our approach is simple. So that’s where we start!
(1)

We believe that health is among our most valuable possessions. And while we generally meet people after they’ve lost their health, our commitment is two-fold:

1. Relief Care

When many people seek care in our office they have one goal: relief. During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:
- Uncover the underlying cause of the health problem
- Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible
- Offer ways practice members can participate in their recovery
- Explain the value of post-symptomatic wellness care

2. Wellness Care

We encourage our practice members to achieve the highest levels of health they can. Through educational opportunities, we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care. Our desire is to see our practice members abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the emerging wellness model.

3. You’re the Boss

Regardless of your health goals, please understand that we see ourselves as mere servants. You’re the boss! It’s your body, your health and your future. Our job is to offer you the finest chiropractic care possible, and it’s up to you to decide how much of it you want.

Why Your Smartphone is Rewiring Your Spine (And How to Fight Back)
Have you ever noticed neck stiffness after a long texting session or felt like your shoulders are permanently hunched forward? You’re experiencing what’s become known as “text neck” or “tech neck” – and it’s literally changing the structure of your spine.

The Hidden Weight Your Neck is Carrying

Your head weighs about as much as a heavy bowling ball in a neutral position. But here’s where it gets alarming: when texting on a phone, it is common to bend the head forward and look down at a 45- or 60-degree angle, which creates five times the amount of force on the neck.

Think about that for a moment – you’re essentially asking your neck to support the weight of a small child every time you check your phone. Over the course of a year, this amounts to an additional 1,000 to 1,400 hours of pressure on the average smartphone user’s spine.

How Your Smartphone Changes Your Spine

Text neck isn’t just temporary discomfort – it’s creating lasting changes in your spinal structure. Research in the journal Ergonomics found that study participants had more forward head posture while texting compared to other smartphone tasks, such as web browsing or watching a video.

This happens because texting typically requires both hands and more screen interaction, naturally pulling your shoulders forward and head down. Over time, mechanical stress in the cervical spine due to erroneous cell phone use induces poor posture and incorrect body alignment, which is associated with dysfunctional movement patterns, weak balance-ability and distorted function of the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, and nervous systems.

Fighting Back: Practical Solutions

The good news is that you don’t have to give up your smartphone to protect your spine. Here are evidence-based strategies to reduce your risk:

Bring Your Phone to Eye Level: Instead of looking down at your device, raise it to eye level. This simple change dramatically reduces the forward head posture that creates so much stress on your neck.
Take Regular Movement Breaks: Set reminders to look up and move every 20-30 minutes. Simple neck stretches and shoulder rolls can help counteract the forward posture.
Strengthen Your Postural Muscles: Focus on exercises that strengthen your upper back and neck muscles. These help maintain proper alignment even when you do need to look down.
Be Mindful of Your Texting Position: When possible, use voice-to-text features or make phone calls instead of lengthy text conversations. When you do text, try to keep sessions shorter.
At Cousineau Chiropractic, we see the effects of text neck regularly and can help restore proper spinal alignment before minor issues become major problems. Through targeted adjustments and personalized exercise programs, we can help reverse the damage that constant smartphone use creates.

Don’t let your smartphone control your posture – take control today and schedule an appointment to learn how we can help protect your spine for years to come.

Breathing Better: How Breath Awareness Can Support Your Health
When was the last time you noticed your breathing? Not during exercise or a deep sigh, but just in a quiet moment. Because breathing happens automatically, it often goes unnoticed. Yet paying attention to how you breathe may play a helpful role in your overall well-being.

Why Breathing Patterns Matter
Shallow, quick breaths are common when we feel stressed. But if this pattern sticks around, it may leave you feeling drained or restless. Bringing awareness to your breath and slowing it down can support a more relaxed state and may even help improve focus and emotional steadiness.

Simple Ways to Start
Being aware of your breathing doesn’t need to be complicated. Start by pausing for one minute a few times a day to observe your breathing. Breathing through your nose and slowly out through your mouth may help calm your nervous system. Combining this with daily tasks, like brushing your teeth or waiting for the kettle to boil, can help it become part of your routine.

Breathe Well, Feel Well
Mindful breathing is not a cure-all, but it can offer useful support when dealing with stress, poor sleep, or chronic tension. A few purposeful breaths might be all it takes to feel more grounded and aware. (Some people even find it helps reduce clenching their jaw or stiffening their shoulders.)

Keep It Consistent
Just like with stretching or hydration, breathing practice is most helpful when done regularly. Try setting a daily reminder or pairing it with an existing habit to stay consistent.

Curious how your daily habits may be affecting your well-being? We’re here to provide simple, supportive guidance when you’re ready.
