Gardening is an amazing and cathartic summer activity. Working with your hands in the outdoors and providing food for yourself and for your family is a practice that goes back thousands of years. While you most likely try your best to use good posture and take care of yourself during other activities during the day, it can be hard to remember to apply that same care when working outside in the hot sun. Unfortunately, during the peak gardening months of the year, most chiropractors see a rise in new patients complaining of back pain as well as other posture and fatigue-related issues. But there are some pretty simple things you can put into practice today that will help you to avoid injury and discomfort while gardening.

We are constantly amazed by athletes and the things they put their body through in the name of performance. An athlete has to train often and train hard to operate at their peak level. For this reason, athletes are much more susceptible to sports injuries. Sports injuries can be any number of things, but what we see most commonly is tendonitis, torn muscle tissue and sprains. In more extreme cases, there are injuries that require months of physical therapy and time away from practice.
While injuries can’t be completely avoided, there are steps you can take with your chiropractor before and after an injury happens to insure quick recovery and a low chance of the injury recurring in the future. Chiropractic care for sports injuries is still considered an alternative form of medicine, but the improvement in an athletes health and performance after they have undergone a treatment really speaks to the benefits. Let’s take a look at some of the ways chiropractic care can help you. Continue reading “How a Chiropractor can help your sports injury” »

Yes! I finally got to watch what immediately became one of my favorite movies ever. As a father of two baby boys, watching full length movies has become a premium and somewhat rare (I’m sure some parents can understand). But there was nothing more thrilling than watching the Amazon Warrior Goddess take the lead, fight her battles, save the day and just be a flat out BadAss!
Wonder Woman looked amazing, and so poised as she fought evil. And the one thing I couldn’t help but notice was, surprisingly, her posture. I realize this may sound unusual and I know this isn’t what most of you were paying attention. But, wow, Wonder Woman had perfect posture.
