Functional Performance Chiropractic and Wellness

Functional Performance Chiropractic and Wellness Doctor Nathan Lauenstein is a chiropractor at Functional Performance Chiropractic and Wellness in Om At FPCW our focus is human wellness.

We start with the health of the spine and nervous system because the spine is the foundation of movement and movement is the foundation of wellness. In addition the spine houses the nervous system which controls and coordinates all of the functions of the human body. Disturbances in motion and position place stress on the nervous system that negatively effects health. Crossfitter, weight lifters, runners, football players and virtually all athletes benefit from regular chiropractic care. However, as our society becomes more sedentary this type of care becomes crucial for everyone. Sitting in an office wreaks havoc on the health of our spine and nervous system. At FPCW we analyze the functional health of the spine and get you MOVING on a path toward health and function! We also offer Wellness Workshops that focus on eating moving and thinking for wellness.

Feeling dizzy after a car accident? 🚗💥

It could be a concussion, whiplash, or something often missed: BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). BPPV happens when tiny crystals in your inner ear shift, causing dizziness.

That’s why a full exam after an accident is so important, so nothing gets overlooked! ✅

Check out this infographic to learn more about BPPV and what to do about it. 👉 https://bit.ly/4obwHsU

Thumb or wrist pain? 📱 Your phone might be to blame.

Too much scrolling or repetitive hand movements can irritate the tendons near your thumb and wrist, leading to a condition called de Quervain’s tenosynovitis. This can make gripping, texting, or even holding objects uncomfortable or painful.

Chiropractic care, combined with targeted stretches and activity modifications, can often help reduce irritation, relieve pain, and restore proper function. 🙌

Neck pain doesn’t always start in your neck—it can actually come from stiffness in your midback. 💥 When your midback is tight, it can put extra stress on your neck, leading to discomfort, tension, and reduced range of motion.

Chiropractic adjustments help improve mobility, relieve tension, and restore proper alignment, allowing you to move freely and feel better. 🙌

Feeling numbness or tingling in your hands or feet? ✋🦶

This can sometimes result from irritated nerves in your spine, which are caused by poor posture, injury, or everyday wear and tear. When nerves are irritated, it can lead to discomfort, weakness, or a “pins and needles” sensation.

Chiropractic adjustments help alleviate that irritation, restore proper nerve function, reduce pain, and enhance your overall mobility. 💪

How many steps should you aim for each day? ✨

A review of 57 studies shows ~7,000 steps/day = major health benefits:
🔹 Risk of death decreases nearly 50%
🔹 Lower risk of heart disease, dementia, depression, and diabetes
🔹 Even cancer & falls showed improvement

The old “10,000 steps” goal is great, but 7,000 is realistic and impactful!

Have hip pain? It might not just be your hip. 🦴

Sometimes hip pain (like hip impingement, when the joint doesn’t move smoothly) shows up along with problems in the low back or the SI joint—the joint that connects your spine and pelvis. Researchers found:

🔹 Many people with hip issues also have SI joint problems
🔹 Spine problems can sometimes cause hip changes too
🔹 Having both hip and back issues can make recovery slower

👉 Takeaway: Hip pain and back pain often go hand-in-hand. If your hip keeps bothering you, it’s worth checking the whole picture. Call our office today to schedule your appointment! 📞
