Does your back hurt every time you bend down to pick something up?

If you’ve been told that you have degenerative disc disease, don’t get used to this as a new part of life.

Know that movement doesnt always have to be painful, in fact, with some focus in the right areas it can become effortless again.

One of the first movements that I teach my clients with back pain is how to hip-hinge in a way that takes tension off the spine.

Taking tension off an already tense area can give your spine some breathing room and allow inflammation levels to go down.

Less inflammation results in lower pain levels at the end of the day!

If you’ve seen this and feel you’d like a professional pair of eyes to critique and help you with your hip-hinge, please schedule below!

Just want to share what people are saying about their experience!

Pain can feel like a never ending burden, and sometimes feel like some cataclysmic is going on.

There’s fear about what it’s going to take to fix the problem because of how intense it feels.

For the record, treatment creates an inflammatory reaction in parts of the body where inflammation is already high.

Inflammation keeps pain signals active, so the more inflammation there is the greater the peak.

At the end of the day though, being sore for a couple days is nowhere near as intense as surgery! Nor expensive.

Enduring some discomfort today means you’ll be able to avoid greater pains tomorrow.

Now is that a cataclysmic ending to the story, or does it all seem worth it?

That is only a perspective for the eyes of the beholder, but if you ask me… no surgery, fast ending to longstanding pain, and better experience at work and home- that’s a huge win!

Way to go y’all!!

Have you been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease?

If you’ve been managing pain caused by DDD it can feel like a lifelong burden that has been placed on your shoulders.

The good news is that symptom flare-ups are largely attributed to certain lifestyle factors, like:

- daily water intake vs caffeine consumption
- sitting and sleeping postures
- daily physical activity levels
- dietary food sensitivities
- stress or anxiety management

In my experience, clients with high average pain levels typically need to make adjustments in at least three of these areas.

Some simple modifications here and there can play a huge role in symptom management long term.

If you feel like you need a helpful pair of eyes to look over everything and talk through some of these lifestyle factors with you, we try to provide more than just a quick adjustment. We’d love the chance to help make a difference in your pain levels!

What are some arthritic conditions that are genetic?

The root words for ‘arthritis’ simply mean ‘inflammation of a joint.’

Osteoarthritis is not caused by genetics, but is a product of certain lifestyle factors, such as:
- lack of adequate hydration
- poor diet
- lack of physical activity
- sedentarism

However there are inflammatory arthritic conditions that are strongly linked to certain biomarkers or genes.

Many of us have heard of rheumatoid arthritis, and perhaps you know someone who has tested positive for rheumatoid factor and deals with pain on a regular basis.

What could explain the arthritis though once all mechanical factors are addressed, and a person tests negative for rheumatoid?

There are four non-serologic inflammatory conditions that cause joint deterioration, namely:
- ankylosing spondylitis
- enteropathic arthritis
- reactive arthritis
- psoriatic arthritis

All of which are linked to the HLA-B27 gene, which raises your risk of developing these.

Certain environmental factors can trigger these conditions simply because genetics makes the person susceptible to them.

These are autoimmune conditions, so infections or diseases can trigger these. Other factors include gut-health.

Having a healthy gut biome reduces inflammation in the bowel, which has been shown to increase inflammation throughout the entire body.

Not only does gut inflammation contribute to osteoarthritis, but it can instigate even more serious proinflammatory conditions.

If you’ve been told that you have IBS, that is wholeheartedly a condition that you can correct. It’s not symptom to shrug off like a sniffle in the winter time.

It affects your entire body all of the time! Identifying and eliminating food triggers like nightshades, dairy, or gluten from your diet could not only change your life but it could protect your joints for a lifetime!

Enteropathic arthritis is strongly linked to irritable bowel disorders like ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, and on imaging looks nearly identical to ankylosing spondylitis.

If you have pain that is flared-up at the drop of a hat and does not get better within 4-6 weeks of routine treatment, take a look at your diet!

It’s actually a product of environmental factors, such as lifestyle and behavior. If your parents and grandparents had it, it’s a lot more likely that you picked up their behaviors. It’s a lot easier to break this family curse than actually changing your genetics!

Movement is medicine when prescribed in a way intended to stimulate physiologic adaptations.

on a regular basis? Maybe you’ve been diagnosed with migraines?

Folks in these situations try everything from:
- posture correction
- massage/chiro
- OTC’s

Chances are that these things provided short term relief. Did you know that folks with frequent headaches often have multiple diagnosable types of headaches?

- suboccipital neuralgia
- tension type
- cervicogenic

These are related to tension on the joints, muscles, and nerves in the neck… all of which are typically related to a feedback loop of inflammation.

Posture doesn’t really matter, and the research confirms that… the trouble is when we’re in certain postures for long periods of time and really don’t have anything built in to our routine to counteract the side effects!

These three activities cannot only remedy any of the three types of headaches, but could easily keep the inflammation in your neck under control after a stressful work day!
