Multivitamin Supplement - Women, Take Yours Today!

A simple addition to women’s daily routine can be so beneficial! Other beneficial behaviors like eating well, exercising and not smoking should certainly not be abandoned. 
 
 
 
How Are You Walking?

Concerning your gait (how you walk and the smooth, coordinated steps you take), chronic non-specific low back pain changes how your lower limbs and trunk move, especially in level and uneven walking and running. See your chiropractor for diagnosis and chiropractic care for your gait problems. (3) Remember that gait problems can cause falls that may lead to long term issues. Let’s prevent them together!

 
 
Exercises - There’s a Reason We Recommend Them!

Positive benefits from exercises recommended by your chiropractor are proven. Four spine stability exercises showed increased thickness of the abdominal muscles and the deep spinal muscle called the multifidus muscles when bridge exercises were performed three times a week for five weeks. (4) Your chiropractor will select the best exercise program for you to strengthen these muscles that support your low back and prevent low back pain. Trust that! 
 
 
 
Weak Hips - They Play a Role in Back Pain
