📱 Tech Neck is Real… and Your Body Feels It

We spend hours every day looking down at our phones, laptops, and tablets… and our posture is paying the price.

That slight forward tilt of your head? It might not seem like much—but over time, it can lead to:
➡️ Chronic neck and back pain
➡️ Headaches
➡️ Muscle tension and stiffness
➡️ Long-term posture issues

Your head weighs about 10–12 pounds… but when it’s tilted forward, the strain on your spine can feel like 40+ pounds. 😳

The good news? Small changes make a big difference:
✔️ Bring your screen up to eye level
✔️ Take frequent stretch breaks
✔️ Sit with your shoulders back and supported
✔️ Be mindful of how often you’re looking down

If you’re already dealing with chronic pain, you don’t have to just “live with it.” We’re here to help you move better, feel better, and get back to living your life.

🌷 The weather is finally getting nicer… which means many of us are back outside digging in the garden, pulling weeds, planting flowers, and getting our yards ready for spring. But after a long winter, all that bending, lifting, and kneeling can wake up aches and pains you forgot you had. 🌱🌞

If your back, neck, shoulders, or knees are reminding you that gardening is harder than it used to be, you don’t have to just push through the pain. Our practice offers interventional pain management and chiropractic care to help address the source of your pain so you can get back to doing the things you love.

Whether it’s stubborn back pain from weeding, knee pain from planting, or sore shoulders from hauling mulch—we’re here to help.

Don’t let pain keep you out of the garden this season. 🌼
Let’s get you back to enjoying the sunshine (and your garden).

💉 Did you know?
Some chronic pain is caused by ligament weakness — not just inflammation.

Prolotherapy is a regenerative treatment designed to strengthen those ligaments and improve joint stability that involves injecting a natural solution into weakened or damaged ligaments and tendons. This stimulates your body’s healing response, helping strengthen the area and reduce pain over time.

If you’re tired of temporary fixes, let’s talk about long-term solutions.

It’s commonly used for:
✔️ Chronic back or neck pain
✔️ Knee pain
✔️ Shoulder instability
✔️ SI joint pain
✔️ Ligament injuries

Quick quiz:

☐ Did you sleep wrong?
☐ Did you sit too long?
☐ Did you stand too long?
☐ Did you do absolutely nothing and still wake up sore?

If you checked any of the above… congratulations, you’re a candidate for not living like this anymore.

Chiropractic care + interventional pain management = less wincing, more living.

Your back called. It wants an appointment.

Meet Dr. Patel!

"My approach when treating my patients is to help you relieve your pain and to educate you on how to avoid the pain in the future. By removing misalignment, there is less nerve interference, and the body is able to heal itself. When your body's structure is good, your function will be good.

Chiropractic care has helped my dad and uncle in relieving their back pain and that has been my main source of inspiration in becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine.

I attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, Florida and graduated in 2008. Prior to attending Palmer College, I acquired a bachelor's degree in food science and human nutrition at the University of Florida. I completed my fellowship in acupuncture at the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture. I also pursued extra studies around the country in manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), pain management, Cox flexion/distraction, McKenzie part 1, and Graston® techniques.

I specialize in treating patients with neck pain, back pain, headaches, posture and structure, or if you just want to improve your overall health. I can help you achieve your wellness goals. I offer chiropractic, acupuncture, spinal decompression therapy, and physical therapy, as well as treatment for auto accidents and workers' comp injuries. I use advanced techniques in physical and manual therapies for treating numerous types of pain. Treatments for pain include acupuncture, hot/cold therapy, traction, ultrasound, trigger point therapy, muscle stimulation, therapeutic massage, TENS, and stretching and strengthening exercises."

🌨️ Delaware Back Pain Snowfall Advisory 🌨️
Issued by the Department of Lumbar Affairs

Attention Delaware residents:
A strong cold front of questionable decision-making is moving into the area. Forecast models predict:
0–18 inches of snow
6–8 inches of "I can shovel that in one trip"
12 inches of "I haven't stretched since 2009"

🧊 Winter Safety Tips from Your Spine Specialists:
❄️ Bend your knees, not your New Year's resolutions.
❄️ Lift small loads. Your driveway is not a CrossFit competition.
❄️ Warm up first. Your hamstrings are not snow tires.
❄️ Push the snow when possible. Don't twist and shout (unless you're in a Beatles tribute band).

🌬️ Expected Conditions:
High probability of "I felt fine until I got back inside."
100% chance your neighbor bought a snowblower just to flex.

If you wake up tomorrow feeling like you lost a wrestling match with your driveway, don't let the pain snowball. We're here to help you weather the storm — because the only thing that should be frozen this winter... is the precipitation.

Stay warm. Stay safe. Stay aligned. Call us today to schedule an appointment!

Meet Dr. Tuininga!

“I have always been passionate about sports and exercise. I live an active and healthy lifestyle and have always been eager to share what I know about health and wellness with others.

After graduating from Clearwater Christian College with a degree in Exercise and Sport Science I wanted to use my education in health science, biomechanics, athletic training, and rehabilitation to improve the quality of people’s lives. I was inspired to attend New York Chiropractic College to become a chiropractor after seeing the positive effects chiropractic care had on my uncle and grandfather. Chiropractic has given me more tools, knowledge, and experience that I can use to help others.

I have had the opportunity to help many people with chiropractic care, and I am eager to continue to help my patients lead active, healthy, and pain-free lives. I work with my patients to achieve specific goals to get them back to doing what they enjoy. My patients and I will work together to achieve those goals by eliminating pain, restoring function, and equipping them with the exercises and lifestyle habits needed to keep them moving without pain."
