Ever get to the end of the workday with a stiff neck and tight shoulders? You’re not alone. Sitting at a desk or looking down at a phone all day puts a lot of strain on your spine and surrounding muscles.

Over time, this creates tension, headaches, and even poor posture. Chiropractic adjustments restore motion to the joints, while stretches and posture changes keep the problem from coming back.

Your body isn’t designed to sit still for hours. It’s designed to move. Even taking a few minutes each hour to stand and stretch can make a big difference.

Imagine what you could do without pain holding you back. Let’s get started: 630-665-7266 or visit https://www.centraldupagechiro.com/appointment

Is chiropractic treatment safe?

This is one of the most common questions we hear. The short answer is yes. Chiropractic care is very safe when performed by a licensed professional. In fact, it’s one of the safest, most natural ways to manage pain and improve function.

Why? Because adjustments don’t involve drugs or surgery. Instead, they work with your body’s own ability to heal. Most patients feel relief almost immediately, while others notice changes over a series of visits as the body gradually restores balance.

Some people feel a little sore afterward, similar to how your muscles feel after exercise, but that usually means your body is adapting to a new, healthier position.

The real question isn’t whether chiropractic care is safe. The real question is: how much longer do you want to live with pain before trying something that could help you move and feel better naturally?

Pain doesn’t have to control your life. Call us today at 630-665-7266 or book here: https://www.centraldupagechiro.com/appointment

Myth: Chiropractors only treat back pain.
Fact: Chiropractic care goes way beyond that.

Because the spine houses the nervous system, problems in the spine can show up as much more than back pain. We often see patients for headaches, migraines, sciatica, posture issues, shoulder pain, and even stress-related tension.

Think about it. Your nervous system controls every part of your body. When your spine is out of balance, nerves can become irritated, and your body doesn’t function at its best. Adjustments restore motion, calm the nervous system, and help your body work the way it’s supposed to.

That’s why so many patients tell us they not only feel less pain but also sleep better, have more energy, and even notice less stress.

Did you know chiropractic care could help with all of that?

Back-to-school means heavier backpacks, and kids’ spines feel it the most. A heavy or poorly fitted backpack can strain the neck, shoulders, and lower back, leading to pain and poor posture.

Here are a few quick tips:

- Keep backpack weight under 10–15% of your child’s body weight.
- Make sure straps are padded and worn over both shoulders.
- Use multiple compartments so the weight is evenly distributed.
- Encourage your child to pick up the backpack using their legs, not their back.

Small habits like these protect a growing spine and make a big difference in long-term health.

Don’t wait until the pain stops you. Take the first step toward relief now: 630-665-7266 or centraldupagechiro.com/appointment

👉 What does a chiropractor do?

Most people think chiropractors “crack backs.” But there’s so much more to it. Chiropractic care is about improving how your spine and nervous system work together.

When your spine moves the way it should, the nerves that branch out from it can send clear signals to the rest of your body. This means less pain, less tension, and better function overall.

It’s like unkinking a garden hose. If there’s pressure or misalignment in the spine, the flow of information between your brain and body gets interrupted. An adjustment takes that pressure off so your body can heal the way it’s meant to.

We love helping patients realize that chiropractic care isn’t just about pain relief. I’s about better movement, better energy, and better health.

Let’s get you back on track. Call 630-665-7266 or click https://www.centraldupagechiro.com/appointment to schedule an appointment today!

Elbow Pain Isn’t Just a “Tennis Player” Problem

You don’t have to play tennis to feel that sharp, nagging pain in your elbow. In fact, we see it all the time in people who type all day, lift at the gym, work in trades, or do the same motion over and over again.

When tendons around the elbow get overworked, they can become inflamed and irritated. That pain can spread down your arm, affect your grip, or make simple things like turning a doorknob uncomfortable.

Here are a few signs your elbow needs attention:

💪 Pain when gripping or lifting
💪 Soreness along the outside or inside of the elbow
💪 Weakness in your forearm or wrist
💪 Stiffness when bending or straightening the arm

The longer you let it go, the harder it can be to heal.

At Central DuPage Chiropractic, we take a whole-body approach. Dr. Carlo checks how your elbow, wrist, shoulder, and spine are all working together. We use hands-on therapy, soft tissue techniques, and exercises to ease pain and rebuild strength.

It’s not just about rest. It’s about recovery with a plan.

Give us a call at 630-665-7266 if elbow pain is slowing you down.
We’ll help you get a grip on it, literally.

Here’s What to Watch For After a Car Accident

Even low-speed crashes can lead to neck pain, stiffness, or headaches. But these symptoms don’t always show up right away. Sometimes, it takes hours or even days.

That’s because whiplash affects the soft tissues in your neck and upper back. When your head moves suddenly, it can stretch and strain muscles, ligaments, and nerves.

If you’ve been in a recent accident, pay attention to signs like:

🚗 Neck pain or tightness
🚗 Headaches at the base of the skull
🚗 Shoulder or upper back soreness
🚗 Trouble concentrating or sleeping

Chiropractic care can help your body heal after a collision. At Central DuPage Chiropractic, we gently restore motion to the spine and reduce inflammation to prevent long-term issues.

It’s always better to get checked sooner rather than later. Don’t wait for symptoms to get worse.

Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people miss work, skip activities they love, or just feel off day to day. But here’s the thing, pain is never “just normal.” It’s your body’s way of asking for help.

So what’s really going on when your back hurts?

Here are a few common reasons we see in the office:

✅ Poor posture at work (especially from sitting all day)
✅ Old injuries that never healed quite right
✅ Weak core muscles that let your spine carry all the load
✅ A spine that’s out of alignment and putting pressure on nerves

You don’t have to be in a car accident or lift something heavy to hurt your back. It can sneak up slowly, and then one day it’s hard to get out of bed.

The good news? Your body wants to heal. You just have to give it the support it needs.

At Central DuPage Chiropractic, we take a close look at what’s causing your pain, not just where it hurts. Dr. Carlo uses gentle chiropractic adjustments to realign your spine, reduce inflammation, and restore movement. We may also recommend simple exercises, massage, or stretching techniques to keep things on track between visits.
