🤯Low back adjustment compilation
.
.
🙌Mobilization of lumbar spinal joints is completely pain free but it will oftentimes give a pretty great sound as a side effect
.
.
📚Chiropractic care for low back pain continues to be the primary recommendation by research and literature ahead of medications, injections, and/or surgery
.
.
👀Enjoy this highlight reel!
📚A new study showed that out of 280,000 individuals with lumbar disc herniation, 97% were able to recover without surgery through a proper rehabilitation program!
.
.
🙌 Spinal decompression, chiropractic care, and physical therapy is just such a program. If you are suffering from disc injury/herniation call us today
.
.
Results of a retrospective cohort study [1] including almost 280,000 subjects have concluded that prolapsed lumbar intervertebral discs may be successfully managed without the need for surgery in 97% of cases
.
.
The study examined the records of adults presenting 2007 to 2017 selected from a large insurance database. Only 3% failed non-operative therapy and underwent microdiscectomy
.
.
Of the patients requiring surgery, the majority were male and an association was found with a history of lumbar spinal epidural injection or perioperative opioid use, leading the study to conclude that male gender and a history of prior opioid use were independent predictors of non-operative treatment failure
.
.
The study provides yet more evidence supporting treatment and management interventions for lumbar disc herniation commonly provided by chiropractors, including manual therapy, education, exercise prescription and self-management strategies

🤩Some spines just give an absolutely incredible adjustment sound and Alexandra has one of them!
.
.
🔊That sound is also known as a joint cavitation
.
.
🤔It is hypothesized that the sound is either from the release of gas from the joint space or the creation of a joint space bubble after the opening and “resetting” of the joint
.
.
🙌Regardless which hypothesis is correct, research shows it works wonders for anybody with spinal pain
.
.
📚📚Research also shows spinal manipulation/adjustment consistently beats outcomes from medications and injections for pain severity and joint function
.
.
👨⚕️👩⚕️Chiropractic has now been recommended by the American College of Physicians as the first treatment of choice for patients with acute or subacute low back pain.
🌟Welcome Back!!🌟

🔹Kyle has a very strenuous manual labor job
.
.
👨🏭Welding day and night Kyle has chronically exasperated neck and low back pain
.
.
🔹Spinal adjustments help keep movement and motion in his joints and allow him to keep his body functioning optimally
.
.
🤯Spinal aches and pains are often movement related injuries that respond best to movement related treatments
.
.
💊💉This is why medications and injections are typically not great at alleviating these movement/structural issues
.
.
🙌Feel free to call us if you are experiencing any spinal aches/pains, sciatica, disc injuries, arthritis, pinched nerves
‼️Disc Injury October‼️
.
.
🔹Here is a brief explanation of spinal disc injuries and how we treat these injuries in our office
.
.
🙌The majority of spinal disc injuries do not need surgery or medication
.
.
📚Research continues to point to conservative care such as chiropractic care as the responsible first stop for disc injuries
.
.
👍Check us out if you or someone you know has this injury
Healthy lifestyles start by recognizing and cutting out ingredients that create havoc in the body. Here is a quick list that will make a huge difference!
⭐️Part 2 of “The 3 T’s Preventing Health & Wellness”⭐️
.
.
💢‼️Thoughts‼️💢
.
.
🔹Thoughts- this refers to your mindset, mental wellbeing, and stress levels
.
.
🦠It’s never been more clear than in the year 2020 that we are constantly bombarded with negative headlines and endless topics of stress
.
.
😢This past year the US has seen suicide rates continue to steadily rise
.
.
🤔With finger pointing towards social media, the pandemic, economy, and politics. No focus is being paid to solutions or the teaching of coping mechanisms
.
.
🙌 Helpful stress reducing rituals such as exercise, mindful meditation, go for a walk outside, breathing exercises, journaling stressful thoughts when you first wake up, morning coffee/tea, grounding, religion/faith, affirmations, professional therapy, turning off all electronics after 7 PM (phone, computer, television), and eating a healthy diet full of probiotics and anti inflammatory rich foods have all shown to effectively ease stress
.
.
🤓I will go more in depth to these coping techniques over the next few posts
.
.
😢An unhealthy mindset impacts overall physical health in ways that cannot be overstated. Do things that make you happy and your body, health, and longevity will thank you for it.
.
.
❤️Self care and personal mental health evaluation/reflection are critical to overall wellness
🔹October Lumbar Disc Injury Month continues
.
.
🤩Here we review the 3 most common positions we find ourselves in throughout the day and whether they help or hurt your disc
.
.
🪑Sitting is the big no no. Downward axial pressure, typically in a “c” spine posture leads to devastating aggravation of lumbar disc
.
.
🚶♂️ Walking is the best thing you can do for a disc as explained in detail in the above video
.
.
🤯Moral of the story... stay active, walk walk walk! “Resting” a disc injury oftentimes leads to worse outcomes
❓Have you been told that a disc herniation can only improve with surgery?
.
.
🤯I’m here to tell you that is not true! A combination of Chiropractic, Non-surgical Spinal Decompression, and Physical Therapy can drastically improve a disc injury without invasive surgery
.
.
👍A comprehensive spinal rehabilitation program should be assembled by your local healthcare office (like #newjerseyspineandwellnesscenter 😉)
.
.
If the first and only option given is surgery🔪.... run 🏃♂️
.
.
👀Here is and example of pre and post treatment of a pretty severe disc injury
🤯Here is a mind blowing ankle adjustment on Samantha
.
.
🤩Ankles and extremities in general don’t really “pop/crack” as much as spinal joints but this one was so loud it could be heard down the street!!
.
.
🔹Most people when they think of chiropractors only think of spine related injuries
.
.
🙌We in fact treat all joints! The only job of a joint is to allow motion, if that is compromised in anyway it’s normal line of motion must be restored
.
.
🦵💪Hips, Knees, Ankles, Shoulders, Elbow, Wrist, Fingers/Toes
❓I’ve been getting asked non-stop about ways to help “boost your immune system naturally” with supplements
.
.
🔹Here is a nice nutritional protocol for everyone trying to supplement and enhance their immune system
.
.
*️⃣Let’s be very clear though. This will not stop you from getting sick or catching a certain 🦠 virus “that shall not be named”
.
.
🤸♂️The primary goal of boosting immune system function is preventing a severe reaction or unchecked illness progression within the body
.
.
💪A healthy immune system can still become sick. But the difference between a strong and weak immune system is the overall illness severity, the time it takes for an immune system response, and total time of illness recovery
.
.
😁❤️Everyone please stay happy and healthy out there!😁❤️
😳 This one hits a little harder in 2020
.
.
🙌We all have the ability to age gracefully and it oftentimes directly relates to how much we take care of ourselves with food and exercise
.
.
The majority of health issues facing the public today (heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, stroke, obesity) are preventable with nutrition, exercise, and attacking each individuals needs head on
.
.
🤔We can all think of the “three 80 year olds”
.
.
🏃⛷🏌️♂️🏊♀️ The one that is active, still 100% with it (cognitively speaking), and doing what they love
.
.
🧑🦽💊The other one that can barely move from musculoskeletal injuries, might be suffering from cognitive issues, or is taking 10 plus medications and is in and out of the doctors office
.
.
⚰️And the last one that never made it to 80, don’t be this person!
🚨Vitamin D production from the sun in the northern United States is almost non-existent in the fall and winter leading to rampant vitamin D deficiency
.
.
🤩Vitamin D plays a critical role in numerous functions within the body including but not limited to anti-inflammatory functions, bone health, and immune system function
.
.
👉This is why it’s incredibly important to supplement with quality supplements or vitamin D rich foods
🤗Our practice growth has been tremendous even during this trying time of the pandemic. We want to take a second to say thank you for supporting us and if you have enjoyed our office please continue to share the word. We are very grateful 🤝
Vitamins and minerals play a crucial role for your immune system
.
.
These 4 combined with a good quality and complete multivitamin will ensure your body is functioning at 100%
.
.
Dr Fauci and doctors around the 🌎 are recommending the following vitamins for a strong and robust immune system
.
.
Unfortunately quality within the supplement industry is not created equal
.
.
We at #newjerseyspineandwellnesscenter recommend brands that we know allow third party quality testing
.
.
We hold a small stock in office and also allow for direct shipment from our wellevate store (link in bio)
.
.
I hope this helps and reaches everyone that might be struggling with illness at this time
❄️The forecasted numbers just keep going up ⬆️
.
.
🥶Regrettably this means we are closed tomorrow Mon. February 1st
.
.
☃️We will reopen on Wed. February 3rd. Please schedule online as it’s sure to book up very fast.
🔊⬆️ Sound all the way up for this one!

🚵♂️⛷🏃♂️Chris is about as active as they come. Running, mountain biking, skiing....the list just goes on and on
.
.

.
.
🤩I haven’t seen him in a few months and my oh my did his spine not disappoint
.
.

👨💼Mo works from home like so many of us right now
.
.
💻His home office posture and hours on end of computer time have led to some neck pain and shoulder pain
.
.
🤕His neck and upper back felt like a brick wall but we still got him moving by the end of his visit with some tips for stretching at home
.
.
🙌Chiropractic continues to be the most efficient, least invasive, and affordable option for spinal pains
.
.
💪Feeling loose with an increase in range of motion and decreased pain levels are the norm after seeing a chiropractor
No caption necessary.
😂When your physical therapist confuses her right and left side. Our patient thought of an ingenious way to fix this little issue
.

❗️A great midday laugh. She now has bright red letters on her shoes R L
