Keeping Your Back Safe While Gardening

2018-03-22T17:32:13-04:00

If you love to garden, you’ve likely suffered a backache or two from maintaining your garden beds. It can be a multiple-season routine, depending on what you are planting or trying to grow, which means your back is regularly getting put under stress from bending over and over again. For others, they are doing most of the work during just one season of the year, which means their back may not be used to this type of labor. While a few backaches may not seem like a big deal, you are actually putting your back in danger when you work in [...]

Modern Day Problem Reversed With Chiropractic Care

2017-09-27T18:33:42-04:00

Good posture, or rather, neutral posture refers to the body maintaining a natural, unexaggerated curvature, such that the muscles of the body are positioned to support an aligned spine. Specifically, this would equate to the cervical spine possessing a natural anterior curve (or lordotic curve), the thoracic spine curving posteriorly, and the lumbar spine curving anteriorly (creating a second lordotic curve). In this very position, the body is in a position to breathe optimally, hold the weight of the body, maintain balance, enhance cognitive functions, as well as increase energy flow throughout the body. However, a generational outbreak has broken loose, disrupting these biological and psychological processes, [...]

Should you Ditch Your Pillow?

2016-10-31T17:21:55-04:00

One of the best parts of falling asleep at night is snuggling up to your favorite pillow. For some, it’s the fluffy part of the bed that their head can sink into, while for others, they prefer something a bit firmer for better posture throughout the night. If you’ve ever woken up with back pain or neck pain, you’ve likely considered that you have chosen the wrong pillow for your body. Waking up with stiffness in your neck, shoulders, or back is an unpleasant feeling and makes it difficult to go back to sleep in the middle of the night or [...]

A drugless life – the ongoing road to naturally better health Part 3

2016-10-05T15:23:26-04:00

Back to Part 2 Symptoms, an “alternative” mindset, diagnosis and acceptance I like to think I lead a fairly healthy lifestyle. Sure, there are nights when I go to bed way too late after having a little too much wine, and days when I might choose a sleep-in instead of an early morning workout at the gym. Or the odd night when I’m too tired to cook and have failed to plan meals in advance and instead, order takeout. But for the most part, on weeknights at least, I’m in bed by 9 and up at 5 for an early morning [...]

Inactive Kids Can Increase Long-Term Health Risk

2015-10-08T15:54:55-04:00

Telling children to sit still might be exactly the wrong message to give. Long periods of inactivity could cause changes in blood circulation even in young children, which may increase risk of heart disease later in life. Researchers measured nine girls between 7 and 10 years old for blood flow in their legs before and after they spent three hours in beanbag chairs in the lab watching movies and playing games on iPads. The researchers found that the veg-out sessions were associated with a 33% decrease in the flexibility of the artery in the thigh, similar to the effect that marathon sitting [...]

Can Your Sleeping Position Protect Your Brain?

2015-08-28T13:22:10-04:00

Chiropractors have know for years that sleeping on your back or side is best for your health. Now research in the Journal of Neuroscience has shown that your sleeping position doesn't just impact how comfortable your rest is, it can also have impacts on your health. And this goes beyond just heartburn and snoring - it could help you avoid neurological diseases, like Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease. According to the research, sleeping on your side, as opposed to sleeping on your back or stomach, may be a better position for your brain to clear out its waste while you sleep. The researchers used an MRI [...]
