The inevitable season is coming where you have to shovel snow and flare up your back again ➡️ take time to rest it and/or spend lots of money on care to make you feel better in the short term while time does its thing.

You are no better for it or more equipped to handle it this year ❌

It’s time to change that with a provider that is committed to help you get back to the things you have to do or want to do, PAIN FREE! 💪🏻

Over the course of several months I have added a few new therapies (e-stim, muscle scraping AKA graston) and added tools for better objective ways of muscle testing. If you have been following along for a while, or even contemplated visiting in the past - the good news is that things have slowly been revamped over time to make the experience even better! The goal remains the same - to strive to provide this best level of musculoskeletal healthcare I can.

Follow along / share the page as I have multiple upcoming blogs to best inform all of you across a multitude of different topics that I will be dropping right HERE.

Something I read recently really sparked something in me that made me realize what really sets me apart - a Chiropractor focused on both physical rehabilitation & exercise alongside the hands-on care in comparison to the traditional Chiropractor that adjusts you and sends you out the door in 5 minutes.....

The care I envision is results and relief that you can KEEP. Not just relief that you have to rent.. not just relief that you are told that you have to see them for the rest of your life 3x/week. And no, it's not just wishful thinking or being overly optimistic.

The current healthcare system and the way providers are being trained forces you to be convinced that you are doomed to your condition and your condition is what defines you. That you are fragile. The saddest part about it? It hardly aligns with the overwhelming body of evidence that suggests you are leaving so much on the table by painting a grim picture of living in pain the rest of your life. That you are forced to have to engage in healthcare-seeking behavior for life to "take the edge off".

It's time to stop settling and commit to something more for yourself by seeking out providers that give you the knowledge and tools to put the ball in your court.

Maybe there are some nuanced scenarios where a few days of rest might be warranted, but for the vast majority of non-traumatic pain / injury ESPECIALLY low back pain you should be assured that complete rest is not the answer. There are plenty of opportunities that include you being an active participant in your recovery!

Very scary indeed 🫨

It is very clear where the evidence lies in terms of recommendations that would necessitate imaging for low back pain.....

It is pretty disheartening and disappointing to hear of the medical mismanagement or sheer ignorance of the overwhelming evidence that occurs every day. For most experiencing low back pain, you shouldn't leave your visit feeling more lost and hopeless than when you came in.

To make light of my disappointments & since Halloween is my favorite, I'll be making a post a day of my BIGGEST gripes that I have heard about just like this one.

New therapy alert 🗣

CRC now provides muscle scraping / IASTM / Graston (lots of different names for the same thing).

It is a therapeutic technique that uses a smooth-edged tool to scrape the skin over tight or injured soft tissues, such as muscles and fascia, to promote healing. The proposed mechanisms are that it helps improve blood flow, break up adhesions and scar tissue, and restore range of motion.

If you are having muscle pain / tightness / discomfort this might be a treatment therapy to try out! As always, the evidence supports most hands-on therapies are short-term relief treatments. While this therapy might help make individuals feel better, it is important to address many other things for long-lasting improvement 🙌

And lastly, it is not any more beneficial to the treatment effect to have providers leaving you bruises or put you in excruciating pain while providing the treatment.

✅ Why Clinics That Include Physical Rehabilitation Often See Better Patient Outcomes

Chiropractic adjustments are highly effective for restoring joint motion and relieving pain. However, when adjustments are combined with physical rehabilitation, patients often experience longer-lasting and greater results.

Here’s why:

Addresses the contributors of pain: Adjustments help joint motion, while rehabilitation retrains the muscles and movement patterns that may have contributed to the pain in the first place.

Improves Stability and Strength: Targeted exercises support movement variability and capacity, helping you feel stronger and confident in a range of movements or postures.

Reduces Recurrence: By strengthening certain areas and improving mobility, rehabilitation helps reduces the risk of the same issues happening again.

Promotes Active Recovery: Rehabilitation empowers patients to take an active role in their healing process, leading to a confident patient that feels in control of their pain / injury.

At my office I believe in addressing both treatments and exercise — combining hands-on care with corrective exercise to help you move better, feel stronger, and stay pain-free longer.

Keep pushing forward 💪

Are you tired of the Chiropractic or PT assembly line care that so many businesses give? Here’s what I mean:

- No actual consistency in getting the same professional from visit to visit who never seemingly know what you are even dealing with

- Visits that are rushed or push you off to sit on machines to accrue time & money with the professional not even present

- Care or program that does not feel individualized and/or aligns with your goals

- The reluctance of the provider to make any changes over time despite no improvements

Here is what you can expect at CRC instead!
