Savona Family Chiropractic

The goal of chiropractic care is to restore your health over the long term, rather than to relieve your symptoms over the short term. So a chiropractor will ask how you move throughout the day and how you sleep at night.

THE FOUR MAJOR TYPES OF PAIN: 1. Nociceptive Pain: Typically the result of tissue injury. Common types of nociceptive pain are arthritis pain, mechanical back pain, or post-surgical pain. 2. Inflammatory Pain: An abnormal inflammation caused by an inappropriate response by the body’s immune system. Conditions in this category include gout and rheumatoid arthritis. 3. Neuropathic Pain: Pain caused by nerve irritation. This includes conditions such as neuropathy, radicular pain, and trigeminal neuralgia. 4. Functional Pain: Pain without obvious origin, but can cause pain. Examples of such conditions are fibromyalgia and irritable bowel syndrome.

The spine has an exceptional memory. Your spine will remember and become used to your posture. This is why it can be hard to get out of the habit of having bad posture. But once you do make a habit of good posture, your spine will remember it.

The spine has over 120 muscles in it. This is why our spine is so flexible and why it allows us to use it in so many different ways.

Give an oxygen boost to your indoor spaces with plants! Popular plants that provide oxygen include areca palm, aloe vera, pothos, spider plant, snake plant, bamboo, & Gerbera daisies. Indoor plants not only improve air quality but can also improve your mental health and make you feel more peaceful.

Fruits and vegetables contain many vitamins and minerals that are good for your health. These include vitamins A (beta-carotene), C and E, magnesium, zinc, phosphorous and folic acid.

When there is a scarcity of water in the body, cartilage loses its sponginess. Drinking more water may not treat the joint pain but it can keep your joints healthy. Proper hydration can improve the production of synovial fluid, reduce the inflammation and maintain the shock absorbing properties of cartilage.

Doing exercises to strengthen the lower back can help alleviate and prevent lower back pain. It can also strengthen the core, leg, and arm muscles. Research shows that exercise also increases blood flow to the lower back area which may reduce stiffness and speed up the healing process.

Overuse injuries (or repetitive stress injuries) are injuries that happen when too much stress is placed on a part of the body. They can cause inflammation (pain and swelling) muscle strain, and tissue damage.

Feel better. Chiropractic care improves your mental health, neurological health, muscle strength, flexibility, and range of motion. It promotes recovery, provides you with more energy, and improves your mood. A chiropractor primes your body to function at its best!

Although PAINSOMNIA is not proper medical terminology, it is REAL. Chronic pain can affect sleep quality and sleep patterns. This can affect quality of life, energy levels, physical and mental health, and overall well-being.

Chronic pain can turn me off by pressing the fatigue button, turn my pain up loud, or mute out the things that I want and need to do. Have the courage to deal with painful conditions naturally and experience what your body can do! #chiropractic

Deep breathing and meditation are techniques that help your body relax, which may ease pain. Tension and tightness seep from muscles as they receive a quiet message to relax.

Any activity that causes the body to look down and forward for long periods of time can contribute to slumped shoulders. Posture is an example of how a person’s habits can affect their physical body. Conditions such as text neck and rounded shoulders are some of the most common ways poor posture begins.
