I've been saying it for many years, the body has an innate ability to heal itself. Stop taking anti-inflammatories for pain.

The very treatments often used to soothe pain in the lower back, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says is the most common type of pain, might cause it to last longer, according to a new study. Persistent use of pain-relieving steroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, lik...

I visit my chiro () like clockwork, about once every two weeks. I just feel way more “put together” with fewer aches and pains, especially in my hips, back and neck when I keep myself tuned up this way.

The term “chiropractic” derives from two Grecian words: cheir which means hand, and praktos which means done. “Done by Hand”, and the first recorded chiropractic adjustment was given in 1895 by Daniel David Palmer (the father of chiropractic!) who helped a janitor, Harvey Lillard, regain his hearing after a back injury he suffered 17 years prior.

Chiro, contrary to popular belief, are not “quacks” (though, like any profession, there are definite dumb bad apples out there). Instead, Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) go through a minimum of 4,200 hours of classroom, lab and clinical internships during their 4-year doctoral graduate school program. These DCs treat over 35 million Americans, this includes adults and children, annually.

Tons of pro sports teams (including, last time I checked, EVERY team in the NFL) uses chiropractors to boost performance, maintain wellness and treat musculoskeletal strain and injury. Even infants can benefit greatly from chiropractic care, as can expecting mothers who want to ease the birthing process with adjustments leading up to birth. An injured worker is 28 times less likely to have spinal surgery if the first point of contact is a DC rather than a surgeon and furthermore, treatment for low back pain initiated by a DC costs up to 20 percent less than when started by a medical doctor.

Finally, if you need to find a good doc near you, please know that in the age of the internet, qualifications, recommendations, and negative reviews (or board censures) are just a click away. Once you have a list of potential doctors, head to one of the following user-sourced websites to check them out:

Our digital reliance right now is creating another pandemic: chronic neck pain. I'm seeing this in children too, too many children, and its devastating to see!

Check your posture, help your children correct their posture when on their devices, do these exercises with your kiddos.

Neck hump is a result of slouching over a cellphone or tablet for long periods of time; it can be prevented with proper posture and corrected using exercises.
