Why Diets Fail (and What Actually Works Instead) Every January, millions of people set the same goal: This is the year I finally lose the weight. They clean out their pantry, download a tracking app, swear off carbs (again), and promise themselves that this time they’ll just “stick to it.” Yet...

🦴🧠 Big Study. Big Results for Neck Pain.

A major 2-year clinical study just confirmed something important in neck pain care:

👉 Fixing the neck’s natural curve = better long-term results.

Researchers followed patients with chronic pinched-nerve neck pain (cervical radiculopathy) and compared:
✔️ Standard care alone
✔️ Standard care plus treatment to restore the neck curve

📊 What they found:

✅ The neck curve was restored — and stayed improved for 2 years
✅ Neck and arm pain continued to improve long after treatment ended
✅ Nerve function objectively improved 🧠⚡
✅ Patients relied less on medications, including stopping opioid use 💊⬇️

⚠️ Patients who only received symptom-based care improved short-term — but symptoms and nerve function worsened over time.

💡 The takeaway:
Short-term pain relief isn’t the same as long-term healing.
When care focuses on correcting spinal structure, patients do better — for years.

✨ Better alignment
✨ Better nerve health
✨ Better long-term outcomes

🧠🦴 Big News in Neck Pain Research

A major medical study confirmed something important:
Fixing neck alignment leads to better, longer-lasting results.

In this study, 60 adults with chronic neck pain and pinched nerves were treated in two groups:
👉 One group received standard rehab care
👉 The other group received the same care PLUS a cervical Denneroll® posture device

📈 The results were clear:

✅ Better neck curve restoration
✅ Improved head and posture alignment
✅ Less neck and arm pain
✅ Lower disability scores
✅ Improvements lasted over 1 year ⏳
✅ Better nerve function 🧠⚡

💡 What this means:
When treatment focuses on correcting spinal structure—not just symptoms—patients do better long term.

This high-level research supports posture correction, spinal alignment care, and long-term structural solutions for complex neck conditions.

✨ Better alignment.
✨ Better nerve function.
✨ Better outcomes.

📊 New Research Confirms What CBP® Doctors See Every Day

A newly published peer-reviewed CBP® study shows that cervical kyphosis can be meaningfully corrected—and maintained—over time using Chiropractic BioPhysics® structural rehabilitation.

The 2026 case series followed five patients treated with CBP® extension traction protocols and found:

✅ 24° average improvement in cervical lordosis
✅ 18° reduction in cervical kyphosis
✅ 5-point decrease in pain levels
✅ 24% reduction in disability
✅ Over 1 year later: improvements largely maintained with no loss of functional gains

🧠 Why this matters:
The study reinforces a key CBP® principle—correcting spinal structure isn’t just possible, it’s responsible care. Long-term stability and maintenance are essential to lasting results.

💬 Dr. Deed E. Harrison, President of CBP® NonProfit, shares:

“This paper reinforces what CBP clinicians see every day—structural spinal rehabilitation works. However, it also highlights the biological reality that corrected posture and alignment must be maintained. This research strengthens the scientific foundation for long-term corrective and maintenance care, which ultimately benefits both patients and the profession.”

📚 Evidence-based care.
🦴 Structural correction.
⏳ Long-term results.

You don’t need the perfect workout.
You need the one you’ll actually do.

The best exercise program isn’t the trendiest, the hardest, or the one your friend swears by—it’s the one you enjoy enough to stay consistent with. Walking, yoga, strength training, cycling, dancing… if it makes you feel good and keeps you moving, it counts.

✨ Consistency beats intensity—every time.

This is where the Chiropractic lifestyle comes in. Chiropractic isn’t just about adjustments—it’s about supporting how your body moves, recovers, and adapts so you can keep doing the activities you love without pain or burnout. When your nervous system is functioning well and your body is in alignment, movement feels easier, more efficient, and more sustainable.

Movement + alignment + consistency = long-term health.

Find what you love. Do it often. Take care of your spine so your body can keep up with your life.

Your future self will thank you. 💙

This month’s blog explores the December wellness landscape and how chiropractic care can help you stay centered, supported, and strong throughout the winter season.

December in the San Francisco Bay Area carries its own unique rhythm. While the city sparkles with holiday lights and the spirit of celebration, it’s also a month filled with colder weather, tighter schedules, end-of-year deadlines, and a pace that can feel both joyful and exhausting. Amid the hus...

✨ Embracing the Christmas Spirit—No Matter What You Celebrate ✨

This time of year carries a special kind of energy. Whether you celebrate Christmas, another holiday, or simply enjoy the lights, the music, and the slowing down of the season, there’s something universally healing about this time of year. ❤️

The Christmas spirit isn’t just about traditions—it’s about connection, kindness, generosity, and taking a moment to care for yourself and the people around you.

At Cardinal Chiropractic, we believe that same spirit is at the heart of chiropractic care.
➡️ It’s about helping your body function at its best.
➡️ It’s about creating space for more ease, more energy, and more presence in your life.
➡️ And it’s about supporting your nervous system so you can move through this season—whatever it means to you—with resilience and joy.

So whether you’re decking the halls or simply soaking up the cozy winter vibe, remember to stay aligned, stay mindful, and give yourself permission to feel good in your body.

















Wishing everyone a season filled with peace, warmth, and well-being. ✨💫

🚨 New Research on Low Back Pain Just Dropped — And It’s a Big Deal

For years, people have been told that early X-rays don’t show much when someone first experiences low back pain.
This new study says… that’s not true.

Researchers compared healthy adults to people having their first episode of acute low back pain and found a clear pattern:

✨ Their low back curve was noticeably increased (hyperlordosis)
✨ Their sacral base angle was significantly higher
✨ Their pelvic structure was normal — meaning the alignment, not the bones themselves, was the issue

In simple terms:
Acute low back pain often shows up as a very specific posture/alignment change — and you can see it on imaging.

Why this matters:
➡️ It gives clinicians a simple, objective marker to look for
➡️ It helps explain why someone is hurting
➡️ It supports more personalized, targeted care instead of generic “rest and wait” advice
➡️ It empowers patients with real clarity about what’s happening in their spine

This research strengthens what many of us see in practice every day:
Alignment matters — especially in those first painful days.
