This is a question New Patients as when they first arrive at our office. The answer is simple but complex.

If you work  a desk job, inevitably you’ve encountered a sore back from sitting for extended periods of time.

Torticollis is a condition where a joint or disk is injured and you can’t move your neck.

If you work  a desk job, inevitably you’ve encountered a sore back from sitting for extended periods of time.  That’s because often your body is forced to sit in a position which is not natural for you.

Hello, Manhattan Beach, today we’re talking about making smart muscles as opposed to walking around with dumb muscles. Our goal here is to correct subluxations to free the nerve channels of the spine. Then we use certain types of neuromuscular reeducation exercises to make the muscles smart again.

TENDONITIS OR BURSITIS? In Schuylkill County, shoulder bursitis and rotator cuff tendonitis are different problems but usually occur together.  The pain is also very similar because both are an inflammation.  Additionally shoulder bursa (fluid filled sacs that help lubricate the tendon motion.  Think of bursa as little water ballons.) lie just beneath the rotator cuff tendons.  These inflamed tendons (ends of muscles that attach to the bone)  can also develop into an impingement syndrome .  In an impingement syndrome, a tendon becomes “pinched” between the bones when you lift your arm up, as you do to comb the top of your head.

While tension headaches are the most frequently occurring type of headache. The most likely cause is contraction of the muscles in the neck and shoulders and those that cover the skull. When the muscles covering the skull are stressed, they may spasm and cause pain.

Day 9 Enjoy Winter Activities The holiday season brings with it lots of winter activities such as sledding, skiing, skating, and shoveling.

The brain and spinal nerves communicate position sense and balanced equilibrium.  Nerve interference cause unequal weight distribution, disharmony and stress to the body, muscles and joints.   There two things that happen when you have a bone out of place in the spine.  First, when the bone is out of place and twists the spine, it pinches the nerve.  That doesn’t cause pain.  It causes weakness.  You have an energy, brain waves, that flow from above down, inside out, that comes from your brain through the spinal cord.  If you’re choking off that nerve flow, whatever that nerve is going to will be weakened.  The other thing that happens is that when the bone is out of place, it’s like having the front end of your car misaligned; the tires or axle wears out.
