Cold Plunge Benefits / Cryotherapy
Cold Plunge Benefits / Cryotherapy

By now I’m sure you’ve seen your favorite celebrity, an instagram influencer, and even your local gym utilizing a Cold Plunge. But what’s all the hype about? Is it legit? Or is it just a fad like the shake weight? (Was that even a fad?)

Although it’s trendy right now - the idea and use of cold water exposure is pretty old. All the proposed benefits have always been there but only recently are we seeing them being backed up by research. Back in the days of the Romans, the Greeks, and the Vikings of Scandinavian Culture they must have known that taking a dip in freezing cold water had it’s perks. Otherwise who the heck in their right mind would do it again right?

Expectations of Pain / An utterly confusing relationship.
Expectations of Pain / An utterly confusing relationship.

As a Chiropractor, we work within the realm of helping individuals not only get out of pain but avoid it by increasing their performance capacity as well. It’s been through these experiences of helping people that I’ve been able to gain the importance of these values and lessons which are worth sharing and elaborating on.
As patients not only are you expected to do "exercises" you are also expected to allot time for walks in nature, meditate, journal, sleep 8-9 hours, eat 10 servings of vegetables - oh and still show up for work on time after getting kids ready for school...before picking them up and making sure their homework is done, they aren't getting too much screen time, dinner is something everyone can enjoy and that they actually shower before bed

What's the Difference?! Sports Chiropractic vs. Traditional Chiropractic
What's the Difference?! Sports Chiropractic vs. Traditional Chiropractic

“We’re not better. We’re just different.”
I struggled to find the most precise way to illustrate the difference between what we do and what a “normal chiropractor” does until I had a phone call today with a potential patient and the phrase above just came out of my mouth without thinking.
As Sports Chiropractors we work to solve the puzzle of WHY you’re feeling the way you’re feeling. This means a more thorough assessment as well as more thorough treatment. It doesn’t stop there. The person who has the most control of the situation is the patient - so we expect them to do some work as well in-between sessions.

Mobility Vs Flexibility- A Never-Ending Battle Within Our Joints
Mobility Vs Flexibility- A Never-Ending Battle Within Our Joints

Mobility is the ability of a joint to travel in its full range of motion (ROM) without any constraints or pains. It is all about how well you can control your joint through the necessary ROMs. Having good mobility is important to maintain pain-free, unimpeded, fluid, and independent movement.

Flexibility, on the other hand, is the ability of a muscle to fully lengthen. We have talked about different types of flexibility before and ways to increase your muscle’s length. It is important to have good flexibility in order to unlock the full ROM a joint complex has and utilize it to generate explosiveness by full muscle contraction.

The SIMPLE Way to Form a Habit / Happy [early] New Year!

Habits are defined actions triggered automatically by a contextual cue that is linked to performance (1). To make sense of this, let’s think of an easy day-to-day example. Think about the habit of putting on our seat-belts (defined action) after we get into our car (contextual cue)
