When was the last time you stood up?? Moving every thirty minutes helps your whole body to keep muscles loose and your blood flowing.

If posture exercises and movement are not easing your neck or back pain, it may be time to bring in a professional.

Chiropractic care at Rocking Horse Community Health Center focuses on identifying the root cause of discomfort, not just masking symptoms. Our goal is to help you move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free.

Have questions or are you ready to get started?

Call Rocking Horse to schedule with Dr. Jake Thomas.

Even though we can celebrate Black History every month, not just in February, we wanted to take the opportunity to highlight just one more of many Black Springfield and Clark County community members responsible for helping to shape and advance our community, and our world.

Mrs. Ernestine Lucas was an educator by trade, and spent decades researching and recording the lineage of Black Springfield Families, including her own. She published two books sharing her work, which are both available at the Clark County Public Library!

Posture Check! How is your back feeling right now??

Better posture does not require fancy equipment or a gym membership.

Try these simple, chiropractor-approved habits at home or work:
• Back-to-the-wall posture checks
• Wall angels to open the chest and shoulders
• Pelvic tilts to support the lower back
• Seated chest stretches during the workday

Consistency matters more than intensity. A few minutes a day can help relieve tension, improve mobility, and protect your neck and back long-term.
