1KG =2.205 lb
Posture matters

Tilting your head to look at your phone is like hanging a weight from your neck.

Looking down at your phone may seem harmless, but the angle at which you tilt your head can drastically increase the strain on your neck.

A neutral head position places about 5 kg of pressure on your cervical spine, but even a slight forward tilt multiplies that load.

At just 15 degrees, the force rises to 12 kg; at 30 degrees, it jumps to 18 kg; and by 60 degrees, your neck is supporting the equivalent of 27 kg—the weight of an average 8-year-old child.

This added pressure can contribute to muscle strain, neck pain, and long-term postural issues.

Often referred to as "tech neck," this condition is increasingly common due to prolonged smartphone and device use. Over time, the unnatural angle can lead to disc degeneration, nerve pain, and even curvature of the spine.

Fortunately, the solution is simple: bring your device up to eye level instead of tilting your head downward. That small adjustment can protect your spine and reduce the risk of chronic discomfort.

🌟 Monday Mobility 🌟

Low back feeling tight this morning? A little movement goes a long way. Here’s a quick and easy stretch you can do anywhere to loosen up your lower back and start your week feeling better.

✨ Quick Low Back Stretch: The Knee-to-Chest Hold
1. Lie on your back.
2. Pull one knee toward your chest.
3. Hold for 20–30 seconds.
4. Switch sides.
5. Repeat 2–3 times.

This simple stretch helps relieve pressure in the lumbar spine, improves circulation to the low back muscles, and reduces stiffness from sitting or sleeping wrong.

If your back feels tight more often than not, chiropractic care can help restore proper motion, improve alignment, and keep you moving comfortably throughout the week. Give us a call if that sounds like you

Start your Monday with better mobility. Your back will thank you.

💥 Migraine dragging you down?

If you’re tired of relying on meds that only mask the pain, chiropractic care might be the missing link. Migraines aren’t just “bad headaches”—they’re often tied to nerve irritation, muscle tension, and restricted movement in the neck. Addressing those root causes can calm the storm instead of just hiding it.

3 Research-Backed Chiropractic Facts for Migraine Relief
1. Spinal manipulation can significantly reduce migraine frequency and intensity.
• A study published in The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that patients receiving chiropractic adjustments experienced a 40% reduction in migraine attacks.
(Tuchin et al., 2000)
2. Chiropractic care may work as well as common migraine medications—without the side effects.
• Research in European Journal of Neurology showed that spinal manipulation was just as effective as the drug amitriptyline, with fewer adverse reactions.
(Nelson et al., 1998)
3. Neck dysfunction is a major trigger—adjustments help restore proper movement.
• Studies show that cervicogenic (neck-related) headaches and migraines often overlap, and treating spinal restrictions can lead to long-term relief.
(Watson & Drummond, Cephalalgia, 2012)

✨ If your migraines start at the base of your skull… if your neck feels tight when your head pounds… or if screens and stress set you off — chiropractic care might be your new best friend.

🔥 Beat Sciatica Pain Naturally! 🔥

Sciatica can feel like a lightning bolt running from your low back down your leg — but the right movement can make a world of difference!

Here are 4 exercises that help calm the nerve, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility:
1. Piriformis Stretch 🧘‍♂️
Loosens the small hip muscle that often compresses the sciatic nerve.
Tip: Cross one leg over the other and gently pull toward your chest until you feel a deep stretch in your glute.
2. Knee-to-Chest Stretch 🤸
Reduces pressure on the sciatic nerve and eases lower back tension.
Hold for 20–30 seconds per side.
3. Cat-Cow Movement 🐈
Improves spinal mobility and encourages healthy nerve motion through gentle flexion and extension.
4. McKenzie Press-Ups (Prone Extensions) 💪
Promotes disc centralization — one of the most effective movements for sciatic-type leg pain.

⸻

💡 Bonus tip: Consistency is key! Daily mobility and alignment checks at your chiropractic visits can help prevent flare-ups and keep your spine functioning at its best.

🌟 Migraines don’t have to run your life! 🌟

If you’ve ever had a migraine, you know it’s not just a headache. The light sensitivity, throbbing pain, nausea, and that “I just want to hide under the covers” feeling can really throw your whole day off.

Here’s the good news 👉 chiropractic care can help!

At Calhoun Chiropractic Center, we look at how your spine, muscles, and nervous system are working together. Misalignments in the neck or tension in the shoulders can put pressure on nerves and blood vessels, often contributing to migraine attacks. Gentle adjustments can help:
✨ Improve spinal alignment
✨ Reduce nerve irritation
✨ Release muscle tension
✨ Support better blood flow

When your body is moving and functioning the way it’s designed to, migraines often become less frequent, less intense—or even stop showing up uninvited. 🎉

💡 Fun fact: Studies have shown that chiropractic care can be just as effective as certain medications for reducing migraine frequency—without the side effects.

So if you’re tired of migraines crashing the party, come see us. Let’s get you back to enjoying your days instead of hiding from them. 💪
