Pain in and around the shoulder is very common after a car accident or work injury. The shoulder is considered an unstable joint which means that it has a tremendous range of motion but not much stability. The combination of fantastic mobility and limited stability make it extremely susceptible to injuries as a result of…
Bottom Line: Subluxations (restrictions and limited mobility) of your lower back may be causing your pain. If your low back doesn’t have a full range of motion, then you are setting it up for future injuries. Bending forward and back (flexion/extension), side bending (lateral bend), and turning side to side (rotation) are the three movements…
So what’s the real difference between getting adjusted and cracking your own back? They usually sound the same and sometimes feel the same too. In fact, sometimes when you crack your own back it actually feels better. So, what’s the difference? First off, many people put a lot of emphasis on the “cracking” sound which…
There is a reason for this as with everything else, and it makes sense once you understand the reason. First of all, your back doesn’t really “go out”. It is still inside your body and the vertebra is still in your spine. What is really happening is that the vertebra has shifted from its normal…
If you suffer from back pain you’re not alone. In fact, about 80% of all people will have back pain at some point and it is one of the most common reasons for missed work, and the second most common reason for visiting a doctor (only behind upper respiratory infections). So why is it so…
Almost everybody that has experienced or knows somebody that has chronic back pain has heard the term “degenerative disc disease”. Many see this as a diagnosis or problem that is causing symptoms. As chiropractors, we see this as a symptom to the real, underlying problem. The term can be somewhat confusing. Many people are told…
It’s not uncommon and really not surprising that some people would be afraid to be adjusted. It’s different and unfamiliar and you’re trusting someone to make a rapid movement to your spine which usually creates a loud crack. How could someone possibly remain calm with this going on? The truth is, most adjustments and very…
Innate intelligence is a powerful thing. It is that thing within you that allows your body to heal itself. Nothing else in this world can do that. This process occurs from ABOVE DOWN, INSIDE OUT. It may sound funny or confusing but it is a very simple phrase that helps to express a very complex…
Your body’s immune system is a defense mechanism that is designed to repel bacterial and viral infections and anything else that may cause you harm. Fortunately, our immune system wins most of the time, sometimes without us even knowing it, but there are times it struggles a bit. Allopathic interventions, especially antibiotics that were originally…
Did you know that the weight of a dime (2.2 grams) is enough weight to stop nerve flow conduction by 40-60%. Beginning in the 1970’s, Dr. Chung Ha Suh, Ph.D., and his colleagues at the Biomechanics Department of the University of Colorado began a series of studies showing that just 10mmHG pressure (about the same…
Not many people think about their posture on a daily basis. Many of us are too busy to even consider it. But your posture is much more important than you think. Bad posture can turn into pain and sometimes even contribute to more serious conditions. For most people, bad posture begins when we start school…
There is a lot about chiropractic that is misunderstood or misconstrued and much of the false and inaccurate information out there is found right here on the internet. There is often a misconception of what chiropractors actually do and why they do it. Hopefully this infographic helps clear up some of the confusion. Dr. Jason…
One thing you will hear us say a lot in the office is, “pain is the last thing to come and the first thing to go.” This simply means that if you have a problem, pain is usually the last symptom to show up and once you begin treatment, the first symptom to disappear. One…
