Staying hydrated is essential for overall health, but did you know it could also help your spine?

Let’s examine the surprising connection between dehydration and back pain.

 

Dehydration doesn’t just make you feel tired or thirsty—it can lead to back pain, too.

Your spine relies on water to keep its spinal discs healthy and functioning properly. When your body isn’t getting enough water, these discs can become dehydrated, increasing your risk of discomfort, stiffness, and even serious conditions like herniated discs.

In this post, we’ll explore the surprising connection between dehydration and back pain, how your hydration levels affect your spine, and practical steps to support both your hydration and spine health. Let’s dive in!

Smartphones are an integral part of our lives, but they can also cause a lot of pain in the neck.

Learn what text neck syndrome is and how to prevent neck pain.

Technology touches our lives in many different ways. It has opened the roads of communication, allowed us to see people from other countries on video, pack computers in a bag and carry them along, and given us the ability to take quality photos any time we want.

So what if we told you that technology could actually be causing you physical pain? The way we hold devices (and how long we use them) can actually manifest in aches and pains throughout our body due to poor posture.

Namely: text neck also known as tech neck.

Neural therapy injections are a common treatment for chronic pain, but are they really the best option?

Learn more about the natural, needle-free alternative: Neural Reset Therapy.

 

Chronic pain can impact every part of daily life, leading many to explore different treatments to find lasting relief.

One common treatment option is neural therapy injections—sometimes called nerve block or trigger point injections. This technique, popular in parts of Europe, uses a local anesthetic to address pain by targeting specific areas of the body, such as nerves, scar tissue, or trigger points.

However, neural therapy injections aren’t for everyone. Injections can be uncomfortable, especially if multiple treatments are needed, and some people prefer to avoid needles or medications altogether.

Fortunately, there’s a natural, needle-free alternative: Neural Reset Therapy (NRT).

In this post, we’ll dive into the details of both neural therapy and NRT, helping you understand how these treatments work, their differences, and how NRT can offer a gentler, drug-free solution for managing chronic pain.

Torticollis doesn’t just affect newborns and infants.

Let’s examine how to treat torticollis in adults.

 

Torticollis, commonly known as “wry neck,” is a condition where the neck muscles tighten or shorten, causing the head to tilt involuntarily to one side. While it’s most commonly seen in infants, adults can also experience this uncomfortable and sometimes painful condition.

Adult-onset torticollis can disrupt daily life and often requires a unique approach to treatment and management. In this post, we’ll explore what causes torticollis in adults, how it can be treated, and steps you can take to relieve symptoms.

Back pain is a common issue that can disrupt daily life, leading many to seek relief through devices like back stretchers.

These tools—ranging from boards and wheels to inversion tables—promise to relieve tension, improve posture, and reduce pain. But do they really work?

While back stretchers may seem like a quick fix, there are some important considerations before relying on them to resolve back issues. In this post, we’ll explore the types of back stretchers available, discuss why they might not be as effective as advertised, and cover healthier, long-term solutions for back pain relief that you can incorporate into your daily routine.


How-to-crack-your-back.jpg

If you’ve experienced the relaxed, limber feeling after a chiropractic adjustment, it’s only natural to want to recreate that sensation at home. After all, a well-aligned back can relieve tension, improve comfort, and enhance flexibility in our daily lives. So, it makes sense that many people search for ways to safely crack their own backs.

However, it’s important to remember that chiropractic adjustments are highly specialized techniques. Chiropractors undergo extensive training to perform these adjustments safely and effectively, and some movements, if done incorrectly, could lead to discomfort or even injury. That said, there are gentle stretches and safe methods that can relieve tension and help you feel your best.

Read on for more information on how to crack your back safely at home and why a chiropractic adjustment may be the better course of action.

Want to improve your flexibility and boost recovery?

PNF stretching could be the answer.

 

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretching is an advanced form of flexibility training designed to improve flexibility and improve your range of motion.

PNF techniques use a combination of stretching and isometric muscle contraction that are excellent for targeting specific muscle groups. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, boosting performance, or simply looking to increase your range of motion, PNF stretching offers a tailored approach to help you reach your flexibility goals.

In this blog post, we’ll explore how PNF stretching works, its benefits, and why it’s a valuable tool in chiropractic care.

what-is-torticollis.jpg

October 7, 2024 Neck Pain

It’s more than just a pain in the neck.

Torticollis can cause reduced range of motion and other complications.

 

Torticollis, often referred to as “twisted neck” or “wry neck,” is a condition affecting the head and neck. This can result in discomfort, limited range of motion, and an abnormal posture where the head tilts to one side.

Torticollis can develop in both children and adults, and may be caused by muscle strain, injury, or underlying conditions.

At Oviedo Chiropractic, we focus on treating the root causes of torticollis to help restore proper alignment and relieve the discomfort associated with this condition.
