How to Create a New Habit / New Year's Resolutions

Good news is that you've only had 3 days to screw up writing down '2023' instead of '2024.'
That said, you've also had three days to already screw up your New Year's Resolutions. How's that a for a slap in the face eh?!
Want to eat better? Workout? Maybe combine the two to lose a few pounds?
Or maybe you want to read 24 books in 2024.
Or quit smoking/drinking/etc.
Or maybe you want to rekindle old relationships and foster better, new ones.

If previous failed attempts of Resolutions has given us anything to learn from we have to ask the big glaring question - how do we formulate a new habit?

Sports Chiropractic & Rehab for Hip Pain

Merely focusing our movement patterns on flexion and extension based habits like walking and sitting to standing may lead to completely ignoring the internal and external rotators of the hip as well as the Ab/Adductors. Furthermore, with our more sedentary lifestyle in general, the patterns we utilize to access our flexion and extension can lead to inhibited Gluteal Muscles and over-dominant or ‘taught’ feeling Quadriceps Muscles. These imbalances are what we attribute as a cause to a lot of chronic Hip Pains we see clinically.

"nEW pAtiEnT SpeCiaL" / Quality Care > Marketing Gimmicks

You ever hear the phrase, “If you pay, you pay attention?” No? Well you’ve had to have heard of “you get what you pay for” then right?

I just bought a knock off Athlemon shirt from Amazon for $16 vs the Lululemon shirt I could have bought for $60. And guess what?! The quality is definitely 3.75x less. Which means it won’t last as long in the closet and therefore I’ll have to keep buying new ones more often.

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.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries

Did you know that an ACL injury may occur even when there is minimal to no contact at all (1)? How does this happen!?

The main reason this can happen is due to compressive forces on the knee joint that cause your lower leg bone (the tibia) to move slightly forward when we switch from non-weight bearing to weight bearing (1). Think about cutting or doing a ‘juke move'.’ When doing this, we have to absorb the forces from the ground to the body.

Got Tight Hamstrings?! What does that even mean?!

Have you ever experienced hamstring tightness? Whether it is after a run, sitting all day at work or school, or after a heavy day in the gym, we all have experienced some sort of hamstring tightness. But what if I told you it might not actually be hamstring tightness? What if I told you it could be your brain playing a trick on you, where you perceive hamstring tightness but the muscle tissue has no problem lengthening fully.
