SHUT. YOUR. MOUTH! / Nasal Breathing
SHUT. YOUR. MOUTH! / Nasal Breathing

While at rest (parasympathetic nervous system drive) we should be mostly nasal breathing. Merely by breathing through our nose, we stimulate more diaphragmatic inhales and exhales. Our Parasympathetic Nervous System is known as the ‘rest and digest’ system whereas our Sympathetic Nervous System is responsible for the ‘fight, flight, or freeze’ response.

Now, which one of those systems do you think we should be tapping into most throughout the day?

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

What's in a name?! Diagnosis vs. Symptoms
What's in a name?! Diagnosis vs. Symptoms

Don’t let the fancy words fool you - a diagnosis is just a collection of symptoms that you’re experiencing.
And the symptoms are just a collection of inputs and outputs from brain to body.
That’s it. Nothing complex about it.
This is where our tagline of ‘find the why - fix the why’ comes into play heavily. Figuring out what the pain or limitation you’re experiencing is easy. Addressing why that’s happening is where things get a little more complex. We need to dive into your story. Potentially, your relationship with pain as well.

My Role as Your Chiropractor
My Role as Your Chiropractor

Don’t Chiropractors just crack your back?!
There’s so much more to it than that.
The way I see it, my main focus as a chiropractor is to get you feeling better. Bottom line. If I at least do that, I am doing my job.
This means going beyond the simple adjustments. It means working the muscles, ligaments, blood flow, motor control and corrective exercise individually designed to get you to your specific goals.

Manifestation / Can a Negative Mental State Add to Our Issues?
Manifestation / Can a Negative Mental State Add to Our Issues?

“We’re doing this exercise to limit your risk of injury.”
I’ve caught myself saying this before, but I try to avoid it like the plague.
Why would we even put this negative thought remotely close to a patient’s attention while we’re working on getting them away from it?!

Providers of any discipline commonly think people get structurally or mechanically injured but forget that there’s a human attached to the bag of meat we’re working with.
This human has a deepened relationship with this injury. Maybe they’ve missed time on the field. Maybe they’ve been lacking their usual social connections with teammates because they’re stuck in rehab.
