Fresh Start Chiropractic

This is a picture of the entire human nervous system. Notice how all the tiny little nerves all connect to the spinal cord and ultimately feed back to the brain? This is how a chiropractic adjustment can affect an issue in the arm, the stomach, or the sinuses! The entire body is controlled by the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Make sure your nerves are communicating properly with the rest of your body with a chiropractic adjustment!

The average human head weighs 10-12 pounds. Your spine and shoulders are made to hold this weight very comfortably. The farther your head drifts forward off of your shoulders, the heavier your head becomes putting increased strain on the joints and muscles of the neck. Looking down at our phones and working on computers on a daily basis has made this a problem for kids and adults. Re-positioning our head over our shoulders will take the stress off of our neck and can help w...ith pain. The second picture is an example of good posture and a good exercise to do for improved neck health. Give it a try!

PHYTONUTRIENTS. Have you heard of them? They are chemicals produced by plants that have anti-inflammatory benefits that are important for staying healthy. This is why we LOVE JuicePlus+ and recommend it to our patients. Adding a variety of fruits, vegetables, and berries (such as the ones pictured below) help bridge the gap between what we are eating and what our body needs! Ask us how to get JuicePlus+ shipped to your door.

The muscles at the front of your hip can become very tight from sitting. Tight hip flexors can contribute to lower back pain. The stretch I am performing in this video is easy and can help with tight hips and low back pain when performed regularly. Start on both of your knees then step forward with one leg making sure your knee is behind your front foot. Lean your hip forward feeling a stretch in the leg that is bent back. To feel an even deeper stretch, lift the arm on the same side as the leg that is bent back and lean away from the open leg. It is normal to feel a stretch in your stomach with this move. Perform on both sides.

Self care is so important to recharge your batteries and gear up for the week ahead. Show us what your self care is by leaving a picture in the comments! It could be a morning coffee, reading a magazine, doing a face scrub, or spending time doing your favorite hobby. Anything that you enjoy is self care!

Don't let your healthy eating habits get derailed by the weekend! Small changes everyday amount to big changes over time. Stay strong
