Top Healthcare Organizations Now Agree on What to Do for Low Back Pain
Bottom Line:
Would you be surprised if we told you that low back pain may well be the number one source of disability across the globe? You might.
Would you be surprised if we told you that we were 99.9% certain you had experienced back pain in the last month? Probably not.
After all, everyone deals with neck and back pain at some point in their lives, right? You. Your family and friends. Your coworkers and acquaintances. Everyone. And as someone who’s dealt with low back pain in the past, you more than understand just how much it can alter your daily life.

Bottom Line:
Every thought and movement in your life occurs through your brain and/or spinal cord – which together are referred to as your central nervous system.
The spinal cord carries nerve signals from the brain to other parts of the body and receives sensory input from the body and transmits that information back to the brain. Your spinal column is the armor that protects your spinal cord as it travels down through your body and branches off into the nerves that power that brain-body connection.
Every moment, millions of messages are moving along your spinal cord to maintain the necessary balance between your brain and body you need to function. Ensuring your spine as a whole is feeling and functioning at its best is important, and we’re here to help.
Recent research has shown that our hands-on chiropractic adjustments can positively impact the chemistry of your brain!
(more…)Disc Issues and Chiropractic
Bottom Line:
Disc herniations, bulges, protrusions, and extrusions are some of the most common reasons people visit a chiropractor.
In fact, most people see a chiropractor not just because they have lower back disc issues found on imaging but because these conditions have caused a significant impact on their quality of life.
The good news? You can get natural, non-invasive treatment for a herniated disc. The research doesn’t lie and backs up what we’ve witnessed for years – chiropractic care provides outstanding results for people with spinal disc issues.

Bottom Line:
Not everyone spends their entire week preparing to “play on Sunday.” Our “big game” for the week is more likely to take place in a conference room or on a Zoom call than in a stadium.
Yes, most of us are probably not going to start our professional lives playing in the NFL – or the NBA, NHL, MLB, Premier League, Champions League, etc. (though you never know!).
Instead of lifting weights and working with the coach on a new play, your weekdays may be spent sitting at a desk performing mental jumping jacks for hours at a time. And we can all agree that whether we’re working out or just working, it’s no fun doing it in pain!
Now, you may be wondering why we’re comparing professional athletes to “office” professionals.
Get this.
Research has shown that all the hours we spend sitting at our desks can place more stress on our spines than working out all day long!
