Hand pain from holding a mobile phone can be caused by repetitive stress and awkward postures, leading to conditions like tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or the worsening of pre-existing issues like arthritis. To alleviate pain, take frequent breaks, try using voice commands, hold your phone with both hands or use a stand, stretch your hands, and apply a cold or hot compress.

𝑪𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑯𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑷𝒂𝒊𝒏
Repetitive motions: Tapping, scrolling, and typing with your thumb or fingers can strain tendons and muscles, leading to conditions like tendinitis.

Awkward hand positions: Gripping the phone in one hand can put pressure on the thumb joint and surrounding structures.
Nerve compression: Holding a phone can aggravate nerves, potentially causing or worsening conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, which results in pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand.

Overuse: Spending too much time on your phone without rest can lead to overuse injuries.

Pre-existing conditions: Conditions like arthritis can be aggravated by phone use.

By using Cold Laser Therapy, Acupuncture, Dry Needling and Muscle Stretching, we can help you along in your recovery journey.

As warmer weather encourages more outdoor activities like gardening and sports, regular chiropractic & osteopathic treatment can realign the spine, improve posture, enhance flexibility, and ensure the body functions efficiently to meet new physical demands. 🤸‍♀️

Increased Activity & Injury Prevention:

Spring often involves a significant increase in physical activity after winter, such as gardening, yard work, and various outdoor sports. Treatment ensures your body is properly aligned, which minimizes strain on muscles, joints, and ligaments, thereby reducing the risk of injuries like sprains and strains.

Improved Mobility & Reduced Stiffness:

Returning to a more active routine can be challenging for a body that has been less active. Treatment can help improve the body's mobility and ease stiffness by realigning the spine, which can reduce tension in muscles and joints.

Better Posture:

Engaging in spring activities like gardening and house cleaning can put strain on your posture. Treatment can help correct misalignments, which in turn promotes better posture and reduces strain on your spine.

Pain Relief:

Treatment can alleviate discomfort and pain that often arise from increased physical activity or from specific seasonal activities.

Enhanced Overall Health & Well-being:

A properly aligned spine and nervous system supports the body's overall function. This can lead to improved circulation, increased energy levels, and a greater sense of well-being as you enjoy the spring season.

Chiropractic care may help improve balance by correcting spinal misalignments and restoring proper nervous system function, which can enhance body-brain communication and muscle coordination.

Through spinal adjustments, exercise advice, and posture correction, we aim to re-establish the body's natural equilibrium and stability. However, effectiveness varies by underlying cause, so consulting a chiropractor for an evaluation is essential to determine if chiropractic care is appropriate for your specific balance issues.

A chiropractor's primary focus is on the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine and joints. By adjusting misalignments or dysfunctions, they can restore the body's optimal working ability, which is crucial for maintaining balance and coordination.

𝙀𝙣𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙉𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙎𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢 𝙁𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: 🤸
The nervous system is responsible for coordinating balance and movement. By ensuring proper spinal alignment, chiropractic care can help improve the connection between the brain and the rest of the body, leading to better balance.

𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝘽𝙤𝙙𝙮 𝘼𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 (𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣): 🧠
A properly functioning musculoskeletal and nervous system allows for better proprioception, the body's ability to sense its position and movement in space. This improved body awareness helps prevent falls and enhances stability.

𝘼𝙙𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙐𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘾𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙨: 🩻
Balance problems can stem from various issues, including spinal dysfunction or pain. Chiropractic care addresses these root causes through a holistic approach, aiming to restore overall bodily harmony and function.

We may recommend specific exercises and stretches to improve posture, flexibility, and strength, supporting better balance.

Beyond adjustments, chiropractors may provide advice on posture, ergonomics, sleep, and nutrition to support long-term balance and well-being.

Pain does not have to be a part of your dance routine. If you are considering a drug-free treatment for your dance-related injuries, we can help. We not only treat your muscles and joint injuries, but also advise you on how injuries can be avoided so that you spend more time on the stage. 🎭

A dancer’s injuries are rarely singular – they don’t just affect a muscle or one joint but rather a group of muscles or joints. As a result, we can stop potential problems and pain by nipping it in the bud early. 🩰

The most common types of injuries seen in dancers are all injuries you can imagine – wrist, back, neck, hip, pelvis, knees, ankles, and even toes. The good news is, all of these can be treated by appropriate care. Also, you might think that injuries are a result of accidents while dancing like twisting a joint, falling or slipping while in action, or something similar. However, most dancing injuries creep up slowly due to constant wear and tear on the body. Unresolved injuries may lead to premature degenerative change. 🎼

Getting your body periodically assessed by us can help protect the spine and related muscles or tissues before an actual, painful injury develops. 🎹
