All things in moderation is great advice.   Whether that is food, fitness, spending habits, or even receiving advice, I’ve found that extremes tend to have negative consequences.  We treat a lot of sports injuries in our office, especially low back pain from lifting, CrossFit, runners, triathletes, and golf.  This can be frustrating because injury can keep you away from performing something you love.  A common theme to many injuries we see has to do with spinal positioning.  “Neutral Spine” is a concept that has been around for quite some time and is often misunderstood; it is not a singular position, but rather a range where we can safely train.  In general, it is the position our spine is naturally designed to be the most biomechanically efficient.

With more than 3 million cases in the US each year, Plantar Fasciitis is a common ailment plaguing feet. This serious and painful condition occurs when the thick band of tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes develops tears and inflammation, leading to pain primarily in the heel and also in the bottom of the foot. The pain is typically sharp and usually unilateral, but sometimes occurs in both feet. Serious cases can lead to the rupture of the ligament and bone spurs on of the heel.

Chiropractic is a nonsurgical treatment that is an alternative form of care for herniated discs.  Sometimes referred to as a “slipped disk” or a “ruptured disk,” a herniated disk occurs when some of the softer "jelly"  that cushions the disc pushes out through a crack in the tougher exterior.  Before we get technical, we need a little introduction to this condition.  With the exception of the first 2 vertebrae in the neck—the atlas (C1) and the axis (C2)—there is an intervertebral disc, made of  collagen between each vertebra of the spine.  Discs act as shock absorbers and shock distributors, and provide flexibility while protecting the spinal cord.
