That face at the end of the shoulder adjustment!

When it comes to your health we will NEVER guess or assume what is going on. X-rays give us a clear picture of IF you have a structural issue, WHAT the structural issue is, and HOW we need to adjust you to help your health and discomfort.

This patient said she has seen many chiropractors and medical doctors over the years for the same issue and she had no clue she had significant curves of her low back. Plus- she wasn't getting the results she had hoped for.

When you have spinal curves like she does your spine needs to be taken care of very specifically so that it's helped and not irritated. If adjusted the wrong way there is a potential to stress the joint and disc more. We never want that. That is why we never guess or assume here at Specific Chiropractic and we take X-rays when warranted.

Our spine is flexible so that we can do everything we need to - sit, stand, play sports, gymnastics etc. But because it's flexible it can also be molded in a structure that is not advantageous to our health. Our spine will start to mimic the positions it's in on a daily and repetitive basis.

One big issue we are seeing - negative structural changes are starting in KIDS! Our kids sit and use technology now more then ever. Putting their head down and shoulders rounded forward for HOURS every day. This can cause long term structural changes and challenges if not caught and helped.

If you have not had your kids checked by a certified pediatric chiropractor think about doing so. Your kids don't have to be in pain or have headaches for something to be building in the background. Better to know for sure.

Did you know chiropractic is safe and effective for kids too? 🤯🥳

Kids may not have the same aches and pains as adults but they do need a full functioning nervous system to help their neurodevelopment as they grow. Chiropractic helps aid in that connectivity from their brain to their body and helps keep their nervous system online 🟢.

Have you ever wondered why some kids have more struggles then others (bed wetting, anxiety, headaches, digestive issues, behavior challenges)? It's possible their nervous system is overly STRESSED and causing trouble in their normal functioning 👀 Chiropractic helps calm that stress and restore balance to their nervous system 🎉

Ever look in the mirror after a shower and notice that one side of your body has a skin fold and the other is completely normal? What's up with that?

When we have shifting in the spine it can manifest itself out on the outside. So when we look at the picture of a patient above, the yellow arrow is pointing to a skin fold. Check out the other side...no skin fold. We can see on the film that we have some shifting in the lower spine which is the cause of this.

Next time you're people watching at the beach take a look! You may find a few.

Unbelievable Patient Case [Read-time 3 mins]

Female patient 25 y/o. She has had a progression of these issues over the past 6 years. She is unable to sleep through the night. She will wake up every 30 mins- 1 hour every single night. She doesn't remember the last time she slept through the night. Her digestion is a nightmare. She will have a bowel movement every 3-4 days (despite taking miralax every day). After eating (even a light lunch/meal) she will get intense bloating that is very uncomfortable. She will experience acid reflux 3x a week. She eats sh*tty food which contributes to it, however she isn't willing to change her diet.
Throughout her day she will be nauseous 80% of the time. From the time she wakes up to the time she sleeps...almost constantly sick to stomach feeling. Her appetite is suppressed because of this because she obviously doesn't want to eat a lot. Oh.....and I forgot to mention that when she DOES eat, she will almost always throw up part of her meal because of the way her stomach feels. She will experience anxiety attacks 2-3x a week. She will experience dizzy spells that occur 4-5 times a day where she feels like she is going to faint (but she doesn't).

She has constant ringing in her ears but has it more predominantly on the right side. Her jaw clicks and will occasionally bother her. She gets daily headaches that last around 1 hour. Her lower spine will constantly bother her and she will get uncontrollable leg shaking in both legs. After the leg shaking episodes (that happen daily) she will experience fasciculations in both the thighs for around 2-3 hours. Her legs will sometimes give out on her when she is walking when these episodes happen.

I have been taking care of her for around a month. We just had a progress examination where we re-test our objective tests, as well as have a conversation about what has changed and what hasn't.

She is sleeping through the night 3-4 days out of the week. The days that she DOESN'T sleep through the night she is waking up 1x and is immediately falling back asleep. She feels so much more rested and energized since we have got her actually sleeping. Her bowel movement patterns have changed to having a bowel movement almost every day. She will still sometimes skip 1 day, however we are not skipping 4 days at a time. She hasn’t been nauseous at all. She hasn't had a single dizzy/fainting feeling as well as no headaches/jaw issues. She experienced ringing in the ear for the first few days after care and since the 4ish day mark hasn't experienced it at all anymore. She is eating more often because her stomach is better and she hasn't thrown up at all in an entire month (which was daily). She says that she hasn't been experiencing the anxiety issues because she isn't worried about her body and it's starting to work correctly. Her lower spine area has some slight pain but is nothing close to the level that it was...and she hasn't had ANY shaking in her legs what-so-ever. Her knees haven't had a single time where they felt like they were ready to give out.

There is still more to be done, however when you remove the nerve irritation, the body will start to perform the way it was intended to. She can now start to live her life the way that SHE wants to. She’s excited, we are excited and can’t wait to get her life fully back!

28 and broken to 29 and DOMINATING
[Read-time 4 mins]

A 28 year old woman walked into the office on Dec 11, 2020. We had A LOT going on so we sat down and had a conversation about what her life was like and what she was experiencing.

She’s an avid gym goer, however she had been limited recently. She wasn’t able to do any type of leg exercises because of her lower spinal area. It would flare up on her and distract her while she is working.

She would experience headaches every other day consistently. They were draining her energy and causing her focus to slip.

Her sleep was awful. She was unable to get comfortable and would wake up several times every single night instead of being able to sleep through the entire night. This impacted her energy levels BIG TIME throughout the day. She was grouchy even though she is a fun loving bubbly person.

Every single day she would experience heart palpitations. She would have to stop whatever she is doing and just sit down because the funny heart beats would derail her from whatever she was doing at the moment. This also caused her some anxiety because well…..it’s scary and uncomfortable when the body doesn’t work correctly.

During the winter is the WORST time for her. She would get chronic sinus infections and constantly have sinus issues. Constant pressure behind her eyes and forehead throughout the day on top of getting sick a few times. Not good.

When she would eat dinner with her fiance she would have to have the tums ready. She would feel the acid creeping up her throat. So much so that when they were watching a movie she would have to sit up because if she laid down and relaxed she would be donezo.

She had some health challenges when she was young with her ears. So much so that she had severe diminished hearing in her ear, along with a ringing/buzzing sound in the ear.

We did a progress exam the other week to check up on how she was progressing. She now sleeps through the night consistently. Her energy levels are through the roof! She doesn’t take her tums regularly any more! She had ZERO sinus infections this winter and hasn't had any sinus issues/pressure. She doesn’t get headaches every other day anymore and is able to crush it at work! No more funny heart beats every day giving her anxiety! She is able to do what she loves at the gym! She also recently went to her regular audiologist check up and for the first time in 23 years, she asked them to TURN DOWN the intensity on her hearing aid because she doesn’t have any ringing or buzzing in the ear! As a 28 year old she came in and wasn’t able to live like she wanted. Now she is 29, kicking ass, getting the most out of life, and living it on HER TERMS because her body and nerves are functioning the way they were designed to!

We had an interesting find the other day! This is what it looks like on the inside when a bullet hits the spine. Luckily it missed some important structures! A few inches more and it could have been trouble!
