👁️Strain Headaches & the 20-20-20 Rule!

Some individuals that work at the computer all day are more likely to have eye-strain issues, headaches and dry eyes.

This is why I recommend following the 20-20-20 rule.

The rule is for every 20 minutes of continuous computer work you give yourself at least a 20 second break while looking at an object 20 feet away.

Individuals who do this notice less eye strain issues and less frequent dry eyes.

A simple way to put the 20-20-20 rule into action is when you are about to sit down for over 20 minutes of concentrated work, set a timer on your phone for 20 minutes. When the timer goes off look at an object 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. After you’re “at least” 20 second rest, set the timer again start working and repeat. Your eye muscles will thank you.

More videos on how to decrease your pain and improve your function can be found on ’s page and on this page.

Thanks and have a great day!

👉🏼Neck Pain & Alignment👈🏼

Neck pain affects over 45 million Americans every year.

When the alignment of the head and neck is abnormal. Overly tilted to one side.

It will pull on muscles and can compress nerves in the neck as well as compressing structures in the neck that can cause neck pain and headaches.

We correct the abnormal alignment using a data-driven approach and help return the body to normal leading to a decrease in pain and an improvement in function.

"I used to move without thinking. Now, every movement makes me think about pain."⁠
⁠
When chronic pain becomes part of our daily life, movement can feel like navigating through a minefield. Simple activities - grocery shopping, a day at work, even getting out of bed - can trigger pain or cause flare-ups. Over time, this creates a challenging cycle:⁠
⁠
We move less to avoid pain⁠
We lose trust in our bodies⁠
Movement becomes increasingly scary⁠
The cycle deepens⁠
⁠
But here's what years of clinical experience and research tell us:⁠
⁠
Your body has an incredible capacity for healing and adaptation. It's ready to work with you, not against you.⁠
⁠
Breaking this cycle starts with finding movements that feel good for YOU.⁠
⁠
Here's a gentle approach I recommend to my patients:⁠
Start Your Movement Exploration:⁠
⁠
Choose a quiet time (morning or evening)⁠
Find a comfortable spot on the floor⁠
Set a timer for 5-10 minutes⁠
Begin exploring gentle movements that feel natural⁠
Listen to your body's signals⁠
Focus on movements that bring comfort, not concern⁠
⁠
Remember: This isn't about pushing through pain or forcing movement. It's about rediscovering what feels good for your unique body.⁠
Some patients find gentle stretching works best, others prefer small joint rotations, and some simply start with mindful breathing while lying comfortably.⁠
⁠
The goal isn't perfection - it's progress. Every small movement that feels good helps rebuild that vital trust between you and your body.⁠
⁠
Your body is resilient. It wants to move. Sometimes we just need to give it permission to start small and build from there.

During my years in practice, I've heard countless stories of patients being told to simply 'stop' doing what they love because it causes pain.⁠
⁠
Here's the truth: If your healthcare provider's only solution is to tell you to quit your favorite activity - whether that's gardening, playing with grandkids, or training for a marathon - it's time to seek a second opinion.⁠
In today's healthcare landscape, being your own advocate is more important than ever. You deserve a provider who:⁠
⁠
Listens to your goals and takes them seriously⁠
Works with you to find solutions, not just restrictions⁠
Understands that quality of life matters⁠
Creates personalized strategies for your specific needs⁠
⁠
Think about it: Which approach sounds better?⁠
"Just stop doing that activity, here's some papers with exercises, see you in a month."⁠
OR⁠
"I hear how important this activity is to you. Let's work together to modify your approach, build your strength, and get you back to doing what you love."⁠
⁠
Whether your goal is walking through the grocery store without pain or crossing the finish line of your next marathon, you deserve someone who's genuinely invested in helping you succeed.⁠
⁠
Your goals matter. Your activities matter. Your quality of life matters.⁠
⁠
At Optimize Chiropractic, we believe in working one-on-one with our patients to create practical, personalized solutions. We don't just hand you a stack of papers and hope for the best - we partner with you, listening to your concerns and adjusting our approach based on your progress.⁠
Because at the end of the day, healthcare should be about helping you thrive, not just telling you what you can't do.

👁️ Eye-Strain Headaches! 👀

According to the vision council over 25% of individuals have experienced eye strain headaches.

It is believed eye strain headaches occur due to referred pain from overuse of the eye muscles.

Similar to the delayed onset muscle soreness that other muscles get the eye muscles can get sore as well.

However, due to the neurological connections the eyes have when they get sore it can lead to referral pain like band like tension headache and headaches around the eyes.

One method that has been used to help relax the muscles of the eyes is called palming.

Palming is a VERY light application of pressure on the eyes. I recommend bringing your eyes to your palms as opposed to your palms to your eyes.

Holding this for 1 minute, followed by looking left 10 seconds, right 10 seconds, straight ahead 10 seconds, down 10 seconds, then up 10 seconds.

It is thought that this helps to relax the eye muscles leading to a decrease in pain.

A longer more in-depth video on this will be posted on later today. Just search Optimize Chiropractic. Also head over to and check out 40+ videos on different ways to decrease pain and improve function.

Your care needs to meet your current function and help you reach your long term goals.

Not hours of simple stretches that never progress, and not exercises that cause pain and flare ups because you aren’t ready to progress.

Your care needs to be individualized for you.

That’s what we do at Optimize Chiropractic.

One of the biggest myths about pain is that if it hurts, there’s damage.

That belief keeps far too many people stuck — avoiding movement, losing strength, and becoming even more sensitive over time.

But when pain lingers for weeks or months, it’s usually not about damage anymore — it’s about sensitivity.
Your brain’s alarm system has become overprotective, sounding the alarm even when you’re safe to move.

The solution isn’t more rest. It’s learning how to retrain your system through safe, progressive movement.
By understanding pain, finding what movements you can do, and slowly rebuilding strength, you can calm the sensitivity, restore confidence, and return to the activities you love.

That’s exactly what we do here every day — helping people move beyond chronic pain by rebuilding both mind and body.

💪 Why do we incorporate strength training as part of rehab at Optimize Chiropractic?

Because rehab isn’t just about feeling better.
It’s about moving better — and staying that way.

Tendons, muscles, ligaments — they all respond to load.
They get stronger, more resilient, and more adaptable when challenged the right way.

Strength training gives us the opportunity to not only help you recover from pain — but to build the capacity to handle whatever life throws at you next.

Whether that’s carrying your kids…
Getting back to the gym…
Or just feeling confident in your body again.

And the research is clear — just two days a week of strength training (about 45 minutes per session) has been shown to reduce your risk of death from any cause by 20-30%.

This is why we train.
This is why strength is part of rehab here.

Because long-term health isn’t just about avoiding pain — it’s about building strength for life.

You’ve been told you have
arthritis - disc degeneration - bulging disc - spondylolisthesis - and to no longer: run, lift, pick up heavy objects, play soccer, skate, golf - do the activities you love.

But we see -
Disc Degeneration in 68% of 40 year olds with no pain.

Disc Bulges in 40% of 30 year olds with no pain.

Disc Protrusion in 37% of 50 year olds with no pain.

Spondylolisthesis in 23% of 60 year olds with no pain.

Your imaging is just a small part of what plays a role when it comes to your pain - and it might not be playing a role at all.

Don’t let an imaging finding hold you back from enjoying life.

You deserve an approach that focuses on getting you back to the activities you enjoy - not one that scares you out of enjoying life.

Personalized rehab focused on you and your goals.

That’s what we do at Optimize Chiropractic.
