😴 Did you know people living with chronic pain average only 5-6 hours of sleep a night? That’s 1-2 hours less than most adults! This cycle of pain and poor sleep can make both even worse. Prioritizing rest isn’t a luxury, it’s part of healing. 💙

Here are 4 ways to make falling asleep a little easier:
🌙 Stick to a sleep routine - going down and getting up around the same time each night.
📵 Power down screens an hour before bed
🧘 Try gentle stretching or deep breathing
🌡️ Keep your room cool, dark, and quiet

Small changes can make a big difference for better sleep and better days ahead. 💫

A slipped disc (also called a herniated or bulging disc) happens when the soft inner material of a spinal disk pushes through its outer ring, irritating nearby nerves. Despite the name, the disk doesn’t actually “slip” out of place. This condition is a common cause of lower back pain and sciatica (pain radiating into the buttocks and legs).

Affects 5–20 out of every 1,000 adults, most often ages 20–50 and in men>women.

Primarily can be caused by aging and wear-and-tear (discs lose water content, weaken and shrink), trauma or injury or, less commonly, connective tissue or congenital disorders.

Every low back/disc symptom can present with different symptoms and is treated differently by each provider.

👉 Key takeaway: A slipped disc is a common spinal issue caused mostly by aging or injury, leading to nerve irritation and back or leg pain. Most cases improve with conservative care, but surgery may be needed for severe or persistent symptoms.

STRENGTH TRAINING IS THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH ❗

Strength training for longevity focuses on preserving muscle mass, joint function, balance and metabolic health as we all age. It’s about training smart and sustainably, not just hard.

This style of training helps prevent:
- Sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss)
- Osteoporosis
- Falls and fractures
- Chronic disease (diabetes, heart disease, etc.)
- Loss of independence

Progressive strength training is essential for maintaining the independent ability to complete daily activities, sharpen the neuromuscular system to decrease falls and help avoid injuries that could derail long term progress. This type of training is important for anyone over the age of 35, those who have a more sedentary job or retirees who want to maintain an independent lifestyle.

Fun facts regarding strength training:
- Muscle strength is a better predictor for mortality than BMI.
- Higher grip strength correlates with a longer life and better healthspan
- Regular strength training improves insulin sensitivity, bone density, mental health and brain function.
