Odds are that you’ve heard somebody suggest seeing a Chiropractor during pregnancy. I’m also willing to bet that you’ve never got a straight answer to where Chiropractic care fits in the process. I’m here today to educate you on why Chiropractic care should be deemed essential to every pregnancy, not only to alleviate Mom of any back pain that may arise but more importantly to prepare Mom’s body for the birthing process!
The hip flexors are one of the most common indirect causes of low back pain that we see in our office. And this is because of where the hip flexors lie. The hip flexors originate from the front of the lumbar spine, travel down through the pelvis, and attach to the front of the hip joint. A lot of times when they are tight, they pull the spine into an into extension. This extension compresses the joints in the back of the spine, so a tight hip flexor can lead to low back pain.
It was March 10th, 2020, just days before the world came to a screeching halt. Bob was on his daily commute to NYC, laptop bag in one hand, and gym bag in the other. Bob knew that after his 3:00 meeting he had to high tail it out of the office to catch the 4:15 train back to NJ, this would give him just enough time to get his workout in at the gym, run home grab a quick bite to eat before meeting with his adult league baseball team at the batting cages to work on some swing work for the upcoming season, but more importantly some healthy social time with the boys.
Did you know that 50% of the adult population suffers from disc injuries? If you are a young adult, disc injuries usually happen after some sort of trauma, like a sports injury or a car accident. And if you’re a bit older, they usually arise slowly from doing things over and over again for many years, like sitting. There’s good news and there’s bad news for these people who suffer from disc injuries.
Chiropractic is one of the most misunderstood professions in all of healthcare. That's partly our fault as chiropractors for not educating the public. I'm going to make it my mission to educate you guys on what exactly chiropractors are, what we treat, and what exactly we do as chiropractors.
I'm going to do this by putting out the ABCs of Chiropractic over the course of the next year, so, 26 videos for each letter of the alphabet, starting at A all the way through to the letter Z, of different conditions that chiropractors treat, different things we see in our office, and all different things that are related to chiropractic.
