When your sense of body position (proprioception) is impaired, your perception of pain (nociception) can become heightened through the Gate Control Theory. This alters how the brain body connection functions and how your nervous system processes every experience. Over time, your nervous system can become dysregulated at a base level, being stuck in fight or flight mode or shut down mode, leading to pain and symptoms.

We facilitate the process strengthening of the mind-body connection, giving you the opportunity to heal, seeing life as it is and not constantly through the lens of a dysregulated nervous system.

Shoulder pain isn’t just about the shoulder.
The shoulder depends on the spine.

Becky’s initial surface EMG showed imbalance in the spinal muscles supporting the thoracic spine, an important foundation for shoulder blade stability. This can affect how the shoulder blade and arm move.

Care focused on restoring motion in the spine and the entire shoulder complex.

By visit 12:
Surface EMG shows improved spinal balance
Significantly increased shoulder range of motion
Pain significantly decreased

When the spine and shoulder complex move better, the shoulder often feels and can perform better too.

Thank you, Becky, for your trust, dedication and just you being you!

A fallen metatarsal head, also known as
metatarsalgia or metatarsal head depression, refers to a condition where the head of a metatarsal bone (one of the long bones in the foot) sinks or drops out of its normal position. This can lead to pain and discomfort in the ball of the foot, particularly when walking or standing or in this case- playing tennis.

It’s never one specific thing that creates this for everyone. Everyone is a puzzle with their mind-body- spirit. We did many things in this visit but here’s some stuff specially to the area symptoms were present.

Why do we breathe? To get oxygen into the body (into the lungs then transferred to bloodstream)

How do we get oxygen to tissues? Through blood flow

What if your nervous system is stuck in flight or fight?Blood flow and oxygen is constricted

Free the body- free up the breath- focus on movement patterns- focus on breathing patterns to create better blood, nerve, fluid flow and healing.

C3, 4 and 5 keep the diaphragm alive!

The phrenic nerve originates from cervical spinal roots C3, C4 and C5 and controls the diaphragm.

Diaphragm dysfunction can contribute to neck pain.
Cervical dysfunction can contribute to diaphragm issues. This goes both ways.

For the majority of the day, your tongue should be on the roof of your mouth with your mouth closed, and your breath, traveling down to your belly up to the chest.

Being aware of your breath throughout the day, especially when feeling stress, tension or triggers and how you react to it will help give you clues to healing.

Reach out with any questions! Hope this helps!

Peace and Prana

During pregnancy, have you experienced pain when walking, standing up from a chair, or when rolling over in bed?

The round ligament can get extremely tight and painful as the belly starts to grow and stretch. If the round ligament tightens, this can cause torsion of the uterus and intrauterine restraints. When it occurs, baby can become malpositioned.

The round ligament pain you are feeling might seem common to pregnancy but it is not normal.

A chiropractor certified in Webster’s technique can help release the round ligament tension and prepare the body to do what was created to do.

Our doctors here at Prana Chiropractic are Webster certified to help you prepare for a healthier and smoother birth and labor.

HRV is a measure of the variation in time between each heartbeat. Your HRV is controlled by a part of your nervous system called the autonomic nervous system. It regulates your heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and many other subconscious activities within the body.

The autonomic nervous system is divided into two sides: sympathetic (fight or flight) + parasympathetic (rest and digest). Chiropractic care helps to improve and balance autonomic nervous system function.

Here at Prana Chiropractic, we use this scan to determine how much stress the nervous system is under and to understand the systems ability to regulate and adapt to stress.

Curious about which side are you on? Come see how well YOU are adapting to stress. Give our office a call at (317)810-1013.
