๐Ÿง  Before you stretch, strengthen, or start rehab โ€” it helps to know the basics.

These 5 body positions are the foundation for many exercises and therapy movements. Learning them helps you understand how to position your body properly so you can move safely, effectively, and with confidence.

They help teach:
โœ”๏ธ Proper body alignment
โœ”๏ธ Neutral spine positioning
โœ”๏ธ Correct muscle activation
โœ”๏ธ Safer, more effective movement

Small details make a big difference in how your body feels and moves. Start with the basics. ๐Ÿ’™

Part 2/2

How often should you see a chiropractor? Here's a quick breakdown of what a typical care plan looks like.

Initially, we might see you 2-3 times a week to get you over that acute hump of pain and dysfunction. As you progress, we ease into a maintenance phase, often around once a month.

This regular upkeep helps ensure the small, day-to-day stresses don't turn into major problems down the line. It's all about prevention!

That satisfying crack you get from twisting your neck might feel good, but is it actually helping?

We're tackling a big question: is it okay to crack your own neck or back? ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ป๐—ผ, and here's why.

When you self-adjust, youโ€™re often just moving the joints that are already mobile, which can lead to hypermobility and instability. A professional chiropractic adjustment is completely different. We use a specific, controlled force on the exact joint that needs it, ensuring it's both safe and effective.

Precision is key to realigning your spine and getting lasting relief. Don't leave it to chance!

If you feel the need to pop or crack, it's a sign that you should see a professional. Let us help you address the root cause safely!

Dealing with persistent forearm pain from work, sports, or daily activities? Conditions like tennis or golfer's elbow can be stubborn, but there are effective solutions beyond just rest.

This is ๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐˜† in action. This advanced, non-invasive treatment uses acoustic waves to target injured tissue, stimulating blood flow and kickstarting your body's natural healing process.

It helps break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery so you can get back to using your hands and arms without pain.

Stop letting forearm pain limit you. Find out if shockwave therapy can help restore your function and provide lasting relief. Link in bio to learn more or book a session!

Here, Dr. Rick is using a technique called ๐™‹๐™ค๐™จ๐™ฉ-๐™„๐™จ๐™ค๐™ข๐™š๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™ž๐™˜ ๐™๐™š๐™ก๐™–๐™ญ๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ (๐™‹๐™„๐™).

This advanced method works by having you gently contract a muscle against resistance, and then fully relax it. This process "resets" the muscle, helping it release built-up tension and improve flexibility in the gastrocnemius and soleusโ€”the key muscles connected to your Achilles tendon.

It's a simple but incredibly effective way to reduce strain, improve mobility, and support the healing process. Itโ€™s not just about stretching; itโ€™s about smart recovery.

Mind-reading at the office? Almost. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Dr. Rachel and Dr. Toyin put their telepathy to the test โ€” and the results were too good not to share!

One of the most common questions we get: "๐˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ?" ๐Ÿค”

Dr. Nick breaks it down: the answer isn't one-size-fits-all.

If youโ€™re dealing with acute pain or a new injury, you might need more hands-on care at the beginning to get things under control. But our ultimate goal isn't to keep you coming back foreverโ€”it's to get you to a place of maintenance.

Think of it as upkeep for your body. Depending on your daily routine and how much "wear and tear" you put yourself through, we create a personalized plan to keep you moving well and feeling your best.

Wishing you a joyful, healthy, and meaningful holiday season. โค๏ธ
