Chiropractic for Neck Pain
If you’re in need of a neck pain specialist, you’re not alone. Along with back pain, neck pain is among the most common culprit for keeping Americans out of work each year.
Below, Family Chiropractic & Spinal Health Care Center goes over a few ways to deal with neck pain and how chiropractic treatment helps — and without prescription drug intervention!
Neck Pain Causes/Symptoms
Neck pain symptoms might include pain, tension, lack of mobility/flexibility, eyesight problems, headaches, and more. Neck pain can come about for a number of reasons, including poor posture, repeated strain, overactivity, poor form while exercising, and more.

Tips for Perfect Posture
A big part of your spine health has to do with how you sit and stand. Having bad posture is, unfortunately, not something we do in isolated occurrences. As a result, bad posture is usually the result of bad day-to-day habits.
Below, Family Chiropractic & Spinal Health Care Center goes over a few ways to perfect your posture, which will pay off big time when it comes to your overall health and wellness.
Shoulders Back
Sit with your shoulders angled back slightly, pressing your shoulder blades together, which will help you balance your upper body weight and keep the pressure off your spine. Keeping this in mind, try to make sure that your lower back is slightly curved, which will help reduce lower back pain.
Legs at a 90-Degree Angle
Make sure your legs are out in front of you, your thighs and calves making as close to a 90-degree angle as possible. At the same rate, allow your feet to be planted firmly on the ground for even weight distribution.
Chin and Neck
Make sure that you look straight ahead and that your nose and chin point slightly upwards to reduce neck tension.
Try to use the same principles while standing, and watch your posture improve as your back and core muscle group gain new strength. Contact Family Chiropractic & Spinal Health Care Center to learn about how our treatments can help give you perfect posture in a few easy adjustments.
July Fourth Fitness Tips
If you’re thinking about hitting up some sort of outdoor destination in lieu of the beach this Fourth of July weekend, it’s important to put some thought into what you end up doing — that way you can limit your exposure. After all, we’re still in a global pandemic.
Below, Family Chiropractic & Spinal Health Care Center goes over a few tips to get active this July 4th holiday that will serve as a healthy alternative to normal July 4th festivities.
First, if you plan on taking a nature hike, make sure to do that in the early morning. More than likely, everyone else will be going around 9, 10, and 11 AM. If you can be headed back down from your hike by the time all the slackers, late risers, and people who are just getting outdoors because there’s nothing else to do, then you’ll be in fantastic shape, avoid exposure, not to mention the satisfaction of being done with your exercise and nature hike by the time everyone else is getting started.
Eat well this Fourth of July. There are healthy options available to you that will have you feeling better and more energized than a burger or hotdog will leave you feeling. Making sure to stay hydrated instead of having a few too many adult beverages will ensure that you don’t have a hangover on Sunday.
After your weekend, no matter what you do, make sure that you have an active recovery plan. Chiropractic treatment is a great compliment to a healthy lifestyle that will enhance your performance, boost your immune system, and more.

We have an amazing track record of helping entire families.
