Local chiropractor in Tramonto, Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology, offers suggestions of how often should you get a chiropractic checkup?

Isn’t it funny how when our car needs an oil change every 3000 miles we make sure we do it or that our 15 year roof gets checked at ten years. Some even have their carpet cleaned once every few months just to keep it in good condition. Yet we don’t do the same with the most important possession we have, our bodies. At Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology, your local chiropractic clinic in Tramonto, we would like to share how important it is to have regular chiropractic checkups.

Look at how the work habits in this country's have changed over the last 200 years. We went from working the plains of the old west, into factories producing some of the worlds finest products. Our bodies are in constant motion, walking, running, bending, lifting, reaching, our joints were constantly being lubricated as we moved. As more and more jobs shift overseas and robots are now doing the heavy lifting, more and more workers are moving into offices, sitting and not moving nearly as much so our joints suffer because they are not being lubricating.
 
Getting a chiropractic checkup is important now more than ever before. At Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology we ask that the first thing you  do is get a thorough spinal exam by a professional chiropractor. We want to measure your spinal range of motion, your spinal functional ability and your individual spinal segments for restrictions and tenderness. We can tell a lot by reviewing this information.
So how often or when should you see your chiropractor? A lot depends on how much degeneration, decay and lack of proper motion a care plan will be created specifically for you. Once you and your chiropractor establish as much proper motion in your spine as possible, a minimum of once a month is a great way to ensure that decay and scar tissue is not building up in your spine.

At Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology your health is important to us. It would be great for you to stop by and get to know us before you really need us. That way we will have a headstart on getting you back to good health. Please give us a call so we can set up an appointment for you at 623-587-0277 or visit our website http://www.chirorehabcenter.com.

North Phoenix Chiropractor at Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology in Tramonto Talks About Core Stability and ROM

One of the first steps in addressing core stability is to talk to the patient and go through a few basic test to determine the overall issues. Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology, your local chiropractic clinic in North Phoenix, would like to explain the five basic tests we use when looking and core stability.

Pelvic Alignment - First we check the pelvic alignment. Without realizing it many patients have a pelvic that tilts forwards or backwards and this can cause them to be more susceptible to lower back pain. We try to teach the patient how to maintain a neutral pelvic position to improve core stability and reduce potential lower back pain.

Finger to Toes Touch Test - This allows us to check the lumbar spine to check for rounding and allows us to check how the ilium moves on the femurs. If the patient is unable to touch their toes, we check for tightness in various muscle regions that may be helped through exercise.

Back Extension - We will have the patient raise their arms over their heads and reach back (having their arms cover their ears.) This allows us to check lumbar motion and there are mobility issues we can work with the patient to do exercises to improve flexibility.

Lateral Trunk Bending - We will ask the patient to bend laterally left, then right, while holding a 10-15 pound kettlebell or weight. By testing with a load it allows it more closely represents every day life of carrying books, grocery bags, etc. It allows  us to check the spine while under pressure. If the patient experiences pain while doing this, we will be able to check the spine to find the problem area(s).

Anti-rotation test - This test checks for pelvic or back movement when moving an arm or leg.

Only when all of the parts are working together will you find good core stability. By doing these simple test, it allows us to check for issues that may affect your core stability or range of motion. We work with you to suggest exercises that you can use to improve any areas found that have a deficiency.

If you have problems with core stability or range of motion, why not call Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology at 623-587-0277.
