Ever notice how committing random — or not so random — acts of selflessness fires up the feel-good endorphins that boost our mood? Whether we’re making a meal for an ill friend or volunteering at a homeless shelter, serving others is a great way to impact your world and improve your health! When we help others, we’re often physically active. Doing yard work for an elderly neighbor or helping to paint a home will keep you moving — a boost for your physical and mental health. When you serve others, you’ll increase your social skills and become a more effective and confident communicator! Service to others could also help decrease depression. There’s widespread support that shows that people with a tendency toward depression can find therapeutic value in helping others. Taking the time to be selfless can reap big health dividends and the priceless reward of knowing you’re making a difference!

Reduce Interference, Increase Health?

Not sure what a subluxation is? It is the result of spinal bones with improper motion or position affecting nerve communications between your brain and your body. Being subluxation-free is crucial because believe it or not, your well-being starts with a healthy and properly aligned spine. This almost imperceptible change in the placement of your spinal bones dramatically affects the communication between your brain and all the other systems of your body. Without proper communication, your body’s natural control and regulation are disturbed. This can be an underlying cause of a variety of health problems. Beyond back and neck pain, digestive issues and more symptoms can arise from the presence of a subluxation. Don’t let a subluxation get in the way of living your best life. Let us find and reduce this interference so you can achieve optimal health and feel and live better.

Do you spend a lot of time sitting behind a desk? Remember to take frequent breaks and move.

It’s a simple activity that we do every day, whether we’re driving to work, typing on a computer at our desk, playing video games or watching television. A sedentary activity, sitting can cause our backs to become strained leading to discomfort or pain. What you may not know is that too much sitting can also cause tightness in the hip flexors, important muscles that are responsible for easy movement.

Get Moving

So, what can you do? One of the best ways to keep back pain at bay is by staying active. This doesn’t just dramatically decrease low back pain, but best of all, physical activity is natural, drug-free and fun. Taking walk breaks throughout the day is good for your spine and your overall health. Looking for a more rigorous exercise? Running, working out at the gym or doing yoga can also help reduce pain.

Boost Your Health

Sitting doesn’t just strain your back—it’s also bad for your health. Sitting can contribute to a variety of chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. When you get moving, you’re not only helping your back, but enhancing your health too. Developing malfunctioning spinal joints from excessive sitting puts needless wear and tear on your spine. Feel better by making sure you’re well adjusted.

Neck pain is a common condition that affects people of all ages and genders. However, research suggests that women may be more likely to experience neck pain than men. In this article, we will explore the reasons behind this disparity and what women can do to prevent and manage neck pain.

One reason why women may be more prone to neck pain is their anatomy. Women tend to have smaller and weaker neck muscles than men, which can make them more susceptible to injury and strain. Additionally, women’s necks are often subjected to more stress due to the weight of their breasts, which can cause the muscles and ligaments in the neck to become fatigued and sore.

Hormones may also play a role in the development of neck pain in women. Estrogen, a hormone that is present in higher levels in women than in men, has been shown to affect the strength and flexibility of muscles and ligaments. Fluctuations in estrogen levels during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause can also contribute to neck pain.

Another factor that may contribute to the higher prevalence of neck pain in women is their lifestyle. Women are more likely than men to engage in activities that strain the neck, such as carrying heavy bags, wearing high heels, and spending long hours working at a desk or computer. Additionally, women are more likely to experience stress and anxiety, which can cause tension in the neck and shoulders.

To prevent and manage neck pain, women should take steps to strengthen their neck muscles, improve their posture, and reduce stress. Exercise programs that focus on strengthening the neck and shoulder muscles can be helpful, as can stretching and relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation. Women should also be mindful of their posture and try to maintain a neutral spine when sitting and standing. Finally, taking breaks to move and stretch during long periods of sitting can help reduce the risk of developing neck pain.

In conclusion, while both men and women can experience neck pain, women may be more prone to it due to their anatomy, hormones, and lifestyle. By taking steps to prevent and manage neck pain, women can reduce their risk of developing this common condition and improve their overall health and well-being.

On September 18, 1895, Daniel David Palmer, a natural healer, experimenter and freethinking Canadian brought us chiropractic.
He delivered the first chiropractic adjustment to Harvey Lillard, the building janitor who had lost his hearing years earlier after bending over and hearing a popping sound in his spine.
After much resistance, Harvey allowed Palmer to use his hands to push a misaligned spinal bone back into a more normal position. What happened? Harvey’s hearing returned.
What did that adjustment prove? Nerve interference, caused by misaligned spinal vertebrae, can interfere with the proper functioning of the organs and tissues of our body.
Today, we still see incredible results, and are passionate about using the most advanced chiropractic techniques to help you live your life to the fullest.
Let’s talk about how 120 years of chiropractic research and philosophy might help make a difference in your life.


Investigating Your Body’s Command Center

Did you know that our bodies have a command center? It’s the nervous system.
Like an actual command center, the nervous system has been defined as a “complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates body activities.”
The nervous system is made up of the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (all other neural elements).
When there is interference (also called a subluxation) in the nerve system, our bodies are not able to function optimally.
According to an International Chiropractors Association article, “a subluxation is the result of spinal bones with improper motion or position affecting nerve communications between your brain and your body.”
As a stress response, a subluxation can result in numerous health problems beyond headaches, neck or back pain.
The good news? We locate and reduce subluxations, so you can experience the best health possible.


Do You Have Sitting Disease?

Every day people everywhere engage in an unhealthy practice that has harmful effects comparable to smoking. We’re talking about sitting.
From watching TV to sitting at our desk to driving, many spend a lot of time in this sedentary position.
How much time? Research shows that most people spend 10-15 hours a day sitting. With excess sitting come 34 chronic diseases and conditions including obesity, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Of course, the easiest way to combat sitting disease is to get moving. For those with a desk job, it’s a good idea to get up and move around for 10 minutes of every hour. You can also consider a standing desk or a walking meeting whenever possible.
If you spend long periods of time sitting and have back or neck pain or poor posture, come visit us for care.

After a good night’s sleep, waking up refreshed is one of the best feelings you can ask for. Your body feels rested, your mind is sharp and your muscles are…tight! Spending 10 to 15 minutes stretching each morning is effective at helping you wake up, loosens your muscles for the day ahead and is considered a form of exercise. A.M. stretching is also helpful for improving your posture. How? If you’re one of the millions of people worldwide that works behind a desk, slumping toward a computer and excessive sitting can result in tight chest muscles and an overstretched back. Implementing morning stretching into your daily routine isn’t just effective for loosening tight muscles, but helps them to become more flexible. Overtime, you’ll notice a positive change in your posture. Improving and maintaining your health is our goal. If you haven’t seen us in a while, schedule an appointment today.

Sneak Movement Into Your Day

Sitting is the new smoking, which is why getting up and moving is more important than ever. But if you don’t have time for the gym, don’t worry. Fitting in the recommended 10,000 steps a day isn’t only doable, but can be fun as well by using a simple pedometer or fitness tracker to monitor your steps. Incorporating movement into your workday can be as easy as taking the stairs instead of the elevator and walking during phone calls. Divide your workday with a quick stroll during your morning and afternoon breaks. Have a pet waiting for you at home? Ending your day with a breath of fresh air outside and a lap around the block won’t just please your furry friend—it’s good for your body, too. Regular chiropractic care can also help you stay active by keeping your spine healthy! Give us a call to schedule your appointment.

Backpack Safety Checklist

Each year hospitals treat thousands of children suffering from backpack-related injuries. Many of these result from carrying too much weight. Is your child using a backpack that is incorrectly sized? Is it configured properly? When it comes to picking out the right backpack, here are four questions to ask yourself:

  • Are the shoulder straps adjustable?
  • Is the backpack padded?
  • Are there interior compartments to hold items in place?
  • Is the backpack the right size for my child?

If the answer is “yes” to each question, you may have found the perfect backpack. Go a step further and teach your child how to properly pack them by positioning contents for little movement and making sure the entire pack weighs less than 10% of their body weight. Wondering what else you can do? Feel free to schedule an appointment at our practice for a quick loaded backpack evaluation with your child.

Did you know your child’s spine grows 50% in just their first year of life, another 42% from ages 1-5 and continues up through the mid-30s? Those first few years of life are when your child will learn to crawl, walk and fall. Beyond that first year, childhood is full of vigorous play and tumbles. With a high potential for trauma and the spine growing at its fastest rate, regular chiropractic checkups are essential to reducing spinal issues that naturally accompany growing, learning and exploring their world. “As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.” Care early on gives a child the best possible chance of a fully functioning spine. Many issues we see in adults are the result of something that happened years ago, quietly worsening until their body could no longer adapt and symptoms arose. Allow your child’s body to work as it was designed to with gentle chiropractic care.

Pediatric Chiropractic Care

You may think chiropractors heal and cure aches, pains and health conditions. Though we provide the adjustment, your body does the actual healing. Your inborn healing ability is responsible for the success that chiropractic patients enjoy. The only thing doctors can do, regardless of their discipline, is to help reduce barriers to the incredible healing ability you were born with. When there’s interference in your nervous system, you feel aches and pains as a sign that some limit has been reached. We use our extensive training and years of experience to discover the underlying cause of your health issue. By reducing nervous system interference from the moving bones of your spine, all of the systems of your body work together correctly.
When everything works as it should, Dr. You takes over and does the healing! Give us a call and give your healing ability a boost, naturally.

Fostering an Attitude of Gratitude

Whether we’re thankful for family, health, finances or friendships, having a grateful heart is good for the body, mind and soul. “Thousands of years of literature talk about the benefits of cultivating gratefulness as a virtue,” says Dr. Robert Emmons, a University of California, Davis psychology professor. Research shows that those who practice gratitude are more likely to eat a healthy diet often, engage in regular exercise, have healthier immune systems, and manage stress better. Because stress is responsible for up to 90% of medical doctors visits, having a thankful outlook can help keep you well. How to show thankfulness? With these simple, effective actions. Foster a thankful attitude by regularly writing down all that you’re thankful for; be mindful of what you have instead of comparing yourself to others; and have a positive mindset. Having a glass-half-full outlook could improve your health and your life!

In today’s fast-paced world, the importance of mental health is increasingly gaining recognition. Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s crucial to find ways to prioritize our mental well-being. While traditional methods like therapy and medication are widely known, there’s a lesser-known yet powerful ally in the quest for mental wellness: chiropractic care.

Chiropractic care is often associated with treating physical ailments such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches. However, its benefits extend beyond the realm of physical health to encompass mental and emotional well-being. By addressing spinal misalignments and promoting proper nervous system function, chiropractic care can have a profound impact on mental health.

Here are some ways in which chiropractic care can help boost your mental health:

1. Stress Reduction: Chronic stress is a common culprit behind many mental health issues, including anxiety and depression. Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate tension in the body, promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels. By restoring proper alignment to the spine, chiropractic care enables the nervous system to function optimally, which in turn helps the body better cope with stress.

2. Improved Sleep: Quality sleep is essential for mental health and overall well-being. Unfortunately, many people struggle with sleep disorders such as insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns. Chiropractic adjustments can help improve sleep quality by addressing underlying issues such as pain or discomfort that may be interfering with restful sleep. By promoting relaxation and reducing muscle tension, chiropractic care can pave the way for a more restorative night’s sleep.

3. Enhanced Mood: The spine plays a crucial role in facilitating communication between the brain and the rest of the body. When spinal misalignments occur, this communication can be disrupted, potentially affecting mood regulation. By realigning the spine, chiropractic adjustments help ensure proper nerve function, which can contribute to a more balanced mood and improved emotional well-being.

4. Reduced Anxiety and Depression: Research has shown that chiropractic care may be effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. By addressing physical imbalances in the body and promoting relaxation, chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate feelings of tension and improve overall mood. Additionally, the release of endorphins during chiropractic treatment can provide a natural mood boost, helping to combat feelings of sadness or anxiety.

5. Holistic Approach: One of the key advantages of chiropractic care is its holistic approach to health and wellness. Rather than simply treating symptoms, chiropractors focus on addressing the underlying causes of health issues, taking into account the interconnectedness of the body and mind. By promoting overall balance and alignment, chiropractic care supports not only physical health but also mental and emotional well-being.

Incorporating chiropractic care into your wellness routine can be a valuable tool for promoting mental health and overall vitality. By addressing spinal misalignments and optimizing nervous system function, chiropractic adjustments can help reduce stress, improve sleep, enhance mood, and alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. As part of a holistic approach to self-care, chiropractic care in Dubai offers a natural and effective way to support your mental health and live your best life.

Regular chiropractic care may help keep you active at any age.

Walkers, canes and nursing homes don’t have to be part of the aging process. With so many seniors living longer and more vibrant lives, including chiropractic care as part of their wellness repertoire may help them get the most out of their golden years. Chiropractic is completely natural. Here are some of the many benefits of chiropractic that may help mature adults enjoy optimal health as they age:

Enhanced Movement

Chiropractic not only helps you enjoy greater flexibility in your spine but also in your extremities. When you are able to enjoy a greater range of motion, you can experience a greater quality of life by being able to do all the activities you love! Bend down and pick up your grandchildren, do some gardening or drive an extra 40 yards on the golf course.

Pain Relief

If you’re looking to relieve your pain without the use of painkillers or anti-inflammatory medications, chiropractic care may be the best option for you. We’ll identify and reduce any vertebral misalignments and their related effects on the nervous system. By locating the underlying cause of your pain and reducing any interference, your body is able to heal itself as it was intended. The result just might be that you experience relief that you didn’t think was possible!

Improved Balance, Reduced Falls

Balance and coordination issues are common among the aging population due to degenerative changes or injuries to the cervical (neck) region. The joint receptors in the cervical spine provide the brain with the necessary information used to trigger balance and coordination. Any interference you experience during the aging process may cause you to lose your sense of awareness, and your steps may become irregular and uneven in length. One of the best ways we can offer to keep balanced and reduce falling incidents is to maintain proper motion and alignment with regular chiropractic care. Falls are a leading cause of hospitalizations for seniors. According to an Australian government site, “the estimated number of hospitalized injury cases due to falls in older people was 83,800” during 2009-10. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cites that millions of those age 65 and older fall each year. Chiropractic care may help increase seniors’ balance and coordination and decrease their risk of falls.

Better Health and Well-being

Feeling good, staying healthy and actively doing what we love are what keeps us looking forward to tomorrow. Regular chiropractic care may help increase your quality of life and your health and well-being. If you’re looking to feel great, sleep through the night, or simply have more energy, schedule an appointment. Chiropractic care may be just what you need to help you enjoy revitalized health so your golden years can be glorious.

What’s Really Causing Your Back Pain?

When back pain happens to you, it’s a far cry from enjoyable. And while no one likes to experience it, the pain itself is actually quite common. In fact, nearly every adult in the world has experienced back pain at some point during his or her life. But in many cases, back pain doesn’t actually begin in your back.

So, where does it start? Take a look at a few options that could be responsible for your back pain.

Hip Misalignment

Back pain often begins in other parts of the body.
Do you ever feel like you’re taking uneven steps? Frequently carrying a heavy bag to one side, poor posture, and not wearing supportive shoes can all contribute to hip misalignment leading to low back pain. Misaligned hips often begin as a result of weak back, core or pelvis muscles and uneven shoe wear.

Text-Neck

In today’s world, it seems that we’re all guilty of spending at least some amount of time each day looking down at our smart phones or tablets. Unfortunately, too much of this downward tilt can cause pain in your neck from overstretching tissue and muscles, eventually leading to spinal misalignment. Back pain as a result of text-neck is a compensation reaction, with the real issue being the neck.

Teenagers and younger children face the highest risk for suffering from symptoms of text-neck.

Prolonged Sitting

If you spend most of your day behind a desk, you could find yourself sitting for hours on end without much movement. Prolonged sitting compresses the spine and increases stress on the back, legs, arms and even neck. To combat back pain caused by long periods of sitting, set an alarm to remind yourself to get up and move every hour. Choosing an ergonomic chair, keyboard, and mouse pad for your work space can also benefit your health.

Regardless of where your back pain has started, chiropractic care can usually help. To learn more about how adjustments could help you, contact our practice to set up an appointment.

Nighttime leg pain, heavy backpacks, and poor posture—common issues that can impact both physical and mental well-being. In this blog, we explore holistic approaches to address these challenges, with a focus on the benefits of chiropractic care.

Alleviating Nighttime Leg Pain:

Nighttime leg pains, often referred to as “growing pains,” affect a significant percentage of children. While conventional remedies like massage and pain relievers offer relief, chiropractic care presents a natural alternative. By targeting the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate leg pain by restoring mobility and reducing stress on the nervous system. Hydration and targeted stretches can also complement chiropractic care in managing these discomforts.

Lighten the Load: Backpack Awareness:

Backpack-induced back pain is a prevalent issue, affecting individuals of all ages. Heavy backpacks can lead to postural changes and discomfort. To mitigate this, it’s crucial to select a backpack with proper ergonomic features, including padded shoulder straps and waist support. Additionally, distributing weight evenly and adhering to the 15% body weight guideline can help prevent back strain. By prioritizing spine health and choosing the right backpack, individuals can avoid the pitfalls of backpack-related back pain.

The Power of Posture on Mental Health:

Beyond its physical implications, posture profoundly influences mental health and well-being. Research conducted by Erik Peper, Ph.D., highlights the correlation between posture and mood, with upright posture facilitating positive thoughts and confidence. By maintaining good posture, individuals can enhance their attitude, energy levels, and interactions with others. Chiropractic treatment plays a pivotal role in promoting proper posture through spinal alignment and muscle balance, fostering both physical and mental harmony.

Conclusion:

From nighttime leg pain to backpack-induced back strain and posture’s impact on mental health, these interconnected issues underscore the importance of holistic wellness approaches. Chiropractic care offers natural solutions to address these challenges, emphasizing spinal health, nervous system function, and posture optimization. By integrating chiropractic care into their wellness routines, individuals can embark on a journey towards improved physical comfort, mental well-being, and overall vitality.
