SPARC Chiropractic

SPARC Chiropractic We are the top ranked Chiropractic clinic for the towns of Aurora and Brookfield S.P.A.R.C. Chiropractic Philosophy. At S.P.A.R.C. Here at S.P.A.R.C.

Chiropractic, our philosophy is to build a working relationship with patients by educating and coaching them to eliminate and prevent pain, while maximizing the body’s full movement potentials. We strive to empower individuals to take a more active role in the restoration, preservation, and optimization of their own health. We accomplish these goals through our slogan, “MOVEMENT AS MEDICINE”. Toda

y as a result of convenience, people sit far too long at work, home or in their cars, and simply don’t move enough. Inactivity, poor posture, faulty movement patterns, and obesity are major leading causes of pain, dysfunction, and poor health. It is our goal for our patients to understand the connection between pain and poor movement, or the lack of it. By combining chiropractic treatments, functional movement exercises, and healthy eating habits we are able to maximize the body’s potential to heal itself. CHIROPRACTIC
In a world where prescription medications and surgery are too often the first options offered to patients, many are instead seeking “alternative methods” shown to work effectively with minimal to no side effects. Chiropractic uses Chiropractic Manipulation Therapy (CMT), or “the adjustment,” to help assist with our other natural treatment protocols to restore, preserve and optimize patient health. CMT is a natural, safe and cost effective treatment which we fully stand behind. Chiropractic, we take research seriously. We specialize in Evidence-based Practice (EBP), which is at the forefront of the medical research paradigm today. EBP research has quantitatively proven that chiropractic manipulation can:
• benefit the body’s healing response at the cellular level
• decrease pain
• loosen muscles
• increase joint range of motion
• increase blood circulation
• increase nerve conduction throughout the body

FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT SCREEN & FUNCTIONAL EXERCISES
Functional movements are defined as everyday movements involved in a person’s daily activities. Leading chiropractic physicians are no longer simply spine or back doctors. They have expanded their expertise to using scientifically proven methods to assess the whole kinetic chain instead of one individual region in order to uncover the root cause of the patient’s pain. This assessment is performed through functional movement screens, a protocol used to target specific faulty movement patterns. Left uncorrected, these faulty movement patterns can reduce the body’s full capability to thrive in activities of daily living and lead to injury or chronic pain. Based on our assessment, we will develop a unique, functional exercise program to address each patient’s needs. MASSAGE
With multiple licensed massage therapists on staff, massage therapy is one of the adjunct treatments we provide to help patients attain wellness and improve their health. Research shows that massage benefits include, but are not limited to: healing injuries, recovery from exercise, and reducing stress, pain, muscle tension, anxiety and headaches. ACUPUNCTURE
Traditionally an eastern medicine treatment, acupuncture is utilized by many western practitioners today. Now backed by numerous amounts of research for it’s effectiveness, acupuncture is used to help heal all sorts of disease and injury, including strains and sprains, back pain, addiction, anxiety, and upper respiratory infections, to name a few. It is said that when one’s chi, or “life force,” is blocked, the result is the manifestation of disease or injury. Acupuncture is used to tap into channels or meridians throughout the body by stimulating specific points that help the natural flow of the chi. Chiropractic we use a blend of eastern and western teachings to help complement our patients’ treatment protocol. NUTRITION COUNSELING
Nutrition is the foundation of optimal healthy living. With so many burdens affecting healthy, clean eating these days, choosing the right foods can be confusing. Here at S.P.A.R.C we believe in educating patients on diet and the healing properties of food so they can make informed decisions for themselves and their families. Through the use of elimination diets and blood work, we uncover vitamin and mineral deficiencies, food sensitivities and allergies, as well as help with weight loss and detox programs.

Spring is here! Time to get gardening 🌱🌸

Gardening is great for your body, but bending, twisting, and lifting can strain your back, neck, and shoulders.

Simple tips like using knee pads, bending at the hips rather than the waist, switching hands, and taking breaks can keep your gardening fun and pain-free.

Check out this infographic for more ways to garden safely and protect your spine! 🏡💪 https://chiroup.short.gy/lJ0OxH

Ever feel like a joint is “off” or just doesn’t move quite right, even without pain? 🤔✨

That can happen when your body has trouble sensing joint position during movement.

Research suggests joint adjustments improve this sense, helping movement feel smoother and more natural.

When joints move better, many people say they just feel more like themselves again. 💪

Call our clinic to schedule an appointment if your joints feel stiff, awkward, or “not quite right.”

Up on the blog today, we talk about benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) 😵‍💫

Feeling dizzy after a concussion, car accident, or sports injury? 🤕🌀 BPPV could be the cause.

It happens when tiny crystals in the inner ear move out of place, triggering sudden spinning with certain head movements.

Symptoms often appear when you:
👉 Roll over in bed
👉 Look up
👉 Bend forward
👉 Turn your head quickly

The good news: specific repositioning movements can often return the crystals to their proper place and reduce dizziness.

Back pain is not always about weak muscles. Sometimes it is about how well your muscles work together.

Research shows exercises focused on muscle control can help reduce back pain and improve balance.

A few helpful habits:
✅ Try slow core exercises like bird dogs or dead bugs
✅ Focus on quality movement, not speed
✅ Stay consistent a few times each week

Small improvements in control can help your spine feel more stable over time. 💪

Ever notice how headaches show up at the worst possible time? 🤕⏰

Tension-type headaches often feel like a tight band around the head.

Research has found that people with more frequent headaches often report higher stress levels, lower activity levels, and lower overall quality of life.

Sometimes headaches are a sign your body needs a break, movement, or help reducing muscle tension.

Does your shoulder feel tight when you rotate your arm? 🤔🏐

You might have something called GIRD, which stands for glenohumeral internal rotation deficit. It means the shoulder has limited inward rotation.

This is common among overhead athletes, such as baseball, tennis, and volleyball players. Repeated overhead motion can tighten the back of the shoulder and limit rotation.

A recent study found that stretching the back of the shoulder may help improve rotation and reduce discomfort.

Call our clinic to schedule an appointment if shoulder tightness or pain is limiting your overhead movement.

Kids today can use a tablet faster than they can find the TV remote 📱😄

But too much screen time may not be great for their backs.

Research has found that more screen time is linked with a higher chance of lower back pain in kids and teens.

Encouraging kids to take breaks, move more, and play outside can help keep their bodies healthy 🏃‍♂️

Think your headaches are caused by poor posture? 🤔

Posture might only be one small piece of the puzzle. 🧩

A recent study found that people with headaches had neck posture similar to that of those without headaches. The bigger differences were neck movement and muscle endurance.

Improving neck strength and mobility may be an important part of managing headaches 💪

Call our clinic to schedule an appointment if headaches keep coming back.

Your MRI says you have a rotator cuff tear… but that does not always mean it is causing your pain 🤔

The rotator cuff helps move and support the shoulder. Over time, normal changes in these tissues can show up on MRI scans.

Researchers reviewed MRIs from more than 600 adults and found that many people had rotator cuff changes even when their shoulders felt completely fine.

In fact, about 96% of pain-free shoulders still showed some imaging changes. This is why shoulder pain should be evaluated based on symptoms, movement, and strength, not just the scan.

Up on the blog today, we talk about Joint Hypermobility!

Are you naturally very flexible or “double-jointed”? 🤸‍♀️

You may have hypermobility, which means your joints move more than average.

A recent review found that people with hypermobility may have a higher risk of disc problems in the spine. One reason may be that the discs and surrounding tissues are made of collagen, which can also be more flexible.

That is why building strong, controlled muscles to support the spine is so important 💪

Check out this infographic for more info, then call our office if you have pain along with hypermobility. https://chiroup.short.gy/EzBhEo
