𝐋𝐨𝐰 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 isn’t random. Neither are 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜 𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐠𝐞𝐬, 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚

They’re often signs that your spinal foundation — the lumbopelvic region — has lost proper movement and control.

This region is the body’s anchor point. When it stiffens or moves inefficiently, everything above and below adapts — the thoracic spine, hips, and even neck begin to compensate.

Those compensations may feel like tight muscles, nerve tension, or weakness, but they’re really your body’s way of trying to work around a locked foundation.

And here’s the key:
-> Treating the tightness, inflammation, or nerve pain is 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐲. Until the pattern — the way your spine loads, stabilizes, and transfers force — is corrected, your body will keep looping through the same dysfunction.

That’s where Thrive Chiropractic makes the difference. We focus on restoring motion at those key transition zones (like the lumbopelvic and upper thoracic regions) and re-educating the nervous system so the right muscles fire at the right time.

Pain relief is just the beginning. The real win is when your body starts moving the way it was built to.

Sometimes life forces you to slow down.

Recently, one of our clients developed a painful lower back injury — the kind that stops you mid-routine, reminding you just how much your spine does every single day.

It’s tough watching someone so active have to hit pause. But in that stillness, there’s a hidden lesson: your body doesn’t just need strength — it needs function.

This injury didn’t appear overnight. It built up over time through subtle breakdowns in movement — especially at the lumbopelvic junction, where motion and stability are meant to work in harmony. When those areas stiffen or compensate, the wrong muscles take over again and again, until something finally gives.

That’s where Thrive chiropractic care comes in.

Right now, it’s the one thing he can do — restoring mobility, retraining efficient patterns, and helping the body reconnect to how it’s designed to move.

Progress doesn’t always look like lifting heavier or doing more.

Sometimes, it looks like patience.
Like trusting the process.
Like showing up — even when it’s quiet healing instead of loud performance.

At Thrive Chiropractic, we keep the process moving — even when life slows you down.

Phone in hand, hours at the desk, or breastfeeding?

Chances are you’ve developed 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 (𝐅𝐇𝐏) — one of the most common (and overlooked) stressors on the spine.

When the head shifts forward, the cervicothoracic and upper thoracic junction (where your neck meets your upper back) takes the hit.
◼︎ Instead of moving smoothly, this area stiffens.
◼︎ Smaller muscles like the traps and scalenes are forced to overwork.
◼︎ Normal movement patterns break down.

Common secondary conditions include:

◼︎ Headaches
◼︎ Neck pain & muscle tension
◼︎ Shoulder pain
◼︎ Uneven head rotation
◼︎ Postural distortions
◼︎ Even disc bulges or disc herniations

And it doesn’t stop at the neck. The lumbopelvic region (your spine’s foundation) often compensates, creating stress in the low back, hips, and hamstrings.

Athletes often think the answer to progress is more volume.

More reps. More load. More grind.

But here’s the truth ⬇️

Effort ≠ improvement when patterns are off.

👉 It’s like driving with your wheels out of alignment — the harder you push the gas, the more wear and tear you create.

That’s why assessing motor efficiency matters. If your spine isn’t moving properly — especially at the Cervicothoracic junction & Lumbopelvic region — the wrong sequence of muscles gets loaded again and again.

🔹 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐜 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (base of the neck & upper back): This area is meant to allow a smooth transition between your mobile neck and your stable mid-back.

> When it stiffens up, your body cheats by overusing smaller neck and shoulder muscles (like the upper traps, levator scapulae, and scalenes).

> That’s why people often feel tension headaches, neck tightness, or shoulder strain when this area isn’t moving properly.

🔹 𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧 (low back & pelvis): This is the foundation for almost every movement — walking, lifting, twisting.

> When it’s restricted or unstable, the body offloads stress into the low back discs, hamstrings, or hip flexors.

> That’s when you see low back pain, hip issues, or recurring hamstring tightness.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞:

When any of these transition zones gets stuck, the 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧. Over time, that repetition locks in faulty movement patterns → more load where it doesn’t belong → pain and performance loss.

At Thrive Chiropractic, we restore proper mobility at these key junctions, so your muscles can work in the right order — efficient, strong, and pain-free.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐚 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐦𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐦

𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 is a chiropractic therapy designed to treat certain spinal conditions, such as herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease. It involves a specialized treatment table & a gentle, computer-controlled stretching motion.

The aim is to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and create a negative pressure, which can help retract herniated or bulging discs and promote the healing of damaged disc material. Here's how it typically works:

𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠:
You will be comfortably positioned on a specialized decompression table. A harness or other restraints will be secured around your pelvis or upper body. These restraints are used to create a controlled traction force.

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫-𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:
The chiropractor operates the decompression table, controlling the angle of pull, the amount of traction force, and the duration of each session which can be adjusted to suit your needs. The treatment table will then gently stretch and relax your spine in a controlled manner.

𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞:
As the table gently stretches your spine, it creates negative pressure within the disc. This negative pressure may help draw in herniated or bulging disc material and reduce pressure on compressed nerves. It can also promote the flow of nutrients and oxygen into the affected discs, which may aid in the healing process.

Client Review:
"I came to Thrive feeling broken, unable to function, in significant nerve pain from a herniated cervical disc, and with a very limited range of motion. Kate gave me my life back. She gave me hope, explaining what was happening and how she could help with spinal decompression. She worked gently, fully aware of what I was feeling and listened to my feedback. She built confidence with me quickly as she has so much experience, and explained why I was in this condition and what life changes I could make to support my healing process as well as my spinal health in future. Within 4 sessions the nerve pain had receded to a large extent and I have continued to heal with each session. I am now free of radiating pain, have regained a lot of mobility, my posture has improved and I am now aware of how to move and protect myself in order to support my future health. I cannot express my gratitude enough to Kate! She is absolutely brilliant!"

Healing isn’t always a “one visit miracle.” It takes time to retrain how the spine moves, how the body loads, and how the nervous system responds. But with the right care plan and guidance, change is possible — and lasting.

That’s what we love about corrective chiropractic: it’s not just about chasing symptoms. It’s about finding the root cause, restoring proper movement, and helping you take control of your long-term health.

𝐀 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 “𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧.”

Years of sitting slumped forward, weak core stability, and poor spinal mechanics push pressure into the discs until… BOOM.

That “random” injury, putting on socks or moving a flower pot? It’s been building for years.

At Thrive Chiropractic Amsterdam:

➡︎ We decompress the spine to relieve disc pressure

➡︎ Correct faulty movement so the disc heals, not just calms down

➡︎ Teach you how to protect your spine long-term

👉 Pain is the output, NOT the origin. Correct the mechanics, and the pain stops cycling back.

. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 “𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞.”

When you sit all day, your spine learns to lock into isometric holds. Your hip flexors shorten, your shoulders round, and your head drifts forward.

That’s not just a look — it’s a recipe for:
⚡ Headaches
⚡ Stiff neck
⚡ Herniated discs

At Thrive Chiropractic Amsterdam, we retrain your spine to move the way it’s meant to:

➡︎ Correct misalignments

➡︎ Restore mobility

➡︎ Build stability so sitting no longer wrecks your back

👉 Posture isn’t about standing tall. It’s about balance, alignment, and a spine that actually moves.

𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤

Pain isn’t always the problem — it’s the output of the problem.
When a disc is injured, like Bianca’s L5/S1 herniation, the body starts compensating. Certain joints stop moving, muscles overwork, and the wrong tissues take on the load.

That’s why temporary relief, such as dry needling and massage, never lasts — the root cause is still there.

At Thrive Chiropractic Amsterdam, we:
✅ Unload the injured disc with non-surgical spinal decompression
✅ Restore proper spinal movement
✅ Retrain stability and core strength

Bianca went from constant pain and nerve symptoms in her leg to pain-free training — no injections, no surgery.

If you’re ready for lasting relief, let’s talk.

→ When your spine moves correctly and your muscles work in harmony, you’re less likely to develop pain, compensations, or injuries.

→That’s exactly what chiropractic care focuses on: restoring proper spinal movement so your body can perform at its best — in the gym and in everyday life.

→ Train smarter. Move better. Live pain-free.

It’s wild how many people live with pain for YEARS…

Not because nothing works — but because they’ve never changed the way their spine actually moves.

Not just stretches.
Not injections.
Not a heating pad.
Not a massage gun.

We’re talking about actually retraining how your body loads, supports, and moves with your spine — both neurologically and mechanically.

When you restore proper spinal movement and correct those faulty patterns, pain isn’t just “managed”… it’s gone.

That’s what chiropractic is about.
We help your body work the way it’s meant to — so you can move, live, and feel better for good.
