The Importance of Posture at Your Desk: How Chicago Chiropractic Can Help with Massage, Chiropractic, and Physical Therapy

In today’s fast-paced, digital world, many of us spend hours sitting at a desk. Whether you're working, studying, or simply browsing the web, poor posture is almost inevitable if we don't consciously make an effort to maintain a healthy position. Over time, poor desk posture can lead to various health problems, including back pain, neck tension, headaches, and muscle stiffness. Thankfully, the exp...

Increased Rates of High Blood Pressure at an Early Age

It's not that surprising that a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that children were eating almost as much salt as adults every day. Whether it's McDonald's Chicken McNuggets (540 mg per 6-piece serving) or a serving of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (560 mg), the foods that many parents find most convenient and palatable to feed their children contain very high...

Chiropractic Care and Olympic Athletes

Chiropractic care has become such an indispensable tool for athletes to keep performing at their best and to reduce the time that it takes to heal from injuries that 28 Doctors of Chiropractic (DC) were employed in the Olympic polyclinic during the 2012 Olympic Games in London. This was in addition to 27 other team DCs who traveled with their nations' teams, not to mention individual athletes' chi...

Home Water Purifying Techniques

Whether you find yourself in a disaster situation, which as we learned from super storm Sandy can happen at anytime, or are just enjoying camping out in the wilderness far from modern conveniences, having access to pure water is a vital necessity. We can survive for weeks without food, but only for a few days without water. Even if you are surrounded by it, it is possible to be in a situation wher...

What is Personalized Medicine

Since the first healers began treating people for illness, the way it worked was that you described your symptoms to the doctor, who would then give you a physical examination and perhaps run some tests. Then he or she would make a diagnosis of your condition and treat you with drugs or other therapies that were standard for that condition. Personalized medicine takes the diagnosis and treatment o...

What is “Rolfing?”

Rolfing is a trademarked system of body tissue manipulation therapy. Also known as Structural Integration, this therapy is said to "organize the whole body in gravity." Led by the work of Ida Pauline Rolf who developed the approach in the 1930s in New York, the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration (RISI, founded 1971) is the originator of the therapy. RISI owns the service marks "Rolfer" and ...

Pins and Needles

Everyone has experienced the sensation of "pins and needles" in their limbs at one point or another in their lives. It is a very common occurrence characterized by a sensation of tingling, pricking, burning or numbness in the extremities, commonly referred to as having a limb that has "fallen asleep." Its medical term is paresthesia, and in most people it is a temporary condition. However, some pe...

What is a slipped disc?

A slipped disc is the common term for a prolapsed or herniated spinal disc. These discs are set in position between the vertebrae and do not "slip". Instead, the disc's outer, fibrous ring tears, thereby allowing the soft, inner portion to extrude through the tear and press against the spinal nerves. Inflammatory chemicals may also be released as a result of the tear and may cause significant, lon...

What Does it Mean to be “Double-Jointed?”

If you have ever seen a contortionist in a circus or know someone who can bend their thumb back far enough to touch their wrist, you have seen an example of someone who is double-jointed. However, the term "double-jointed" is actually something of a misnomer, since the super-flexible person you saw most likely has the exact same number of joints as those of us who are less stretchy. The medical te...
