Stretches for Runners
Stretches for Runners Fall marathon season is just around the corner! Many runners love to get out and run but often forget to take the time afterward to stretch it all out. Stretching is most recommended for after a workout. Stretching before a workout can lead to decreased strength ability of a muscle – which can lead to injury. Save a warm up for before the exercise to get all muscles ready and save the stretching for after the activity.

Chiropractic = Good Posture = Healthy
I love this picture and blurb out of Harvard. I have this conversation in the office with people all the time. Your spinal cord, the communication of information between the brain and the rest of the body, runs through your spine. When it is in a poor position it means your nervous system is in a poor position…. which means your body functions poorly. Seeking healthy? Seek a healthy spine! #healthyspine #healthylife

The physical examination
Physical Examination The physical examination will follow the history taking. The point of the exam is to determine which structures and tissues are affected in each case. The physical examination involves the use of a variety of testing techniques. Range of motion, posture assessment, joint mobility, orthopedic tests, reflex testing, sensory testing and strength tests are all commonly used when examining the parts of the body experiencing pain and restriction. Sometimes the doctor will require additional tests, such as x-rays, or referral for medical examination.
