When it comes to many job settings, not a lot of them are designed with your health and wellness in mind. But there’s a lot you can do to boost the wellness capabilities of your employment.

Below, Espinosa Family Chiropractic goes over a few ways to improve your work setting to optimize your health.

Ergonomic Furniture

Whether it’s a new ergonomic chair that helps keep your posture tip-top or one of those standing desk converters to get you away from the sitting position for long periods of time, investing in furniture and accessories that keep your spine in mind is an ideal move.

Stretch it Out

Stretching at work is a good idea, no matter what time of day it is. Incorporate some yoga moves in the chair or do them while standing. Ask some coworkers to join!

Pack Your Lunch

Pack a healthy lunch instead of settling for fast food — you’ll feel better and more energized throughout the day.

If your job is putting unnecessary tension on your spine, we have your back! Contact Espinosa Family Chiropractic today to learn about how our treatments help relieve your body from the daily grind.

This Valentine’s Day many of us will head out to restaurants, purchase floral arrangements, and maybe even spring for the traditional box of chocolates. However, the only problem is that most of the food and activities that surround Valentine’s Day — spa, mani/pedi, pasta, chocolate, etc — aren’t really the best things for us to be doing health-wise.

This Valentine’s Day Espinosa Family Chiropractic would like to urge our patients and readership to think outside the box a bit.

This might mean going to the organic food store to pick up provisions for a nice, healthy, home-cooked meal instead of going out to a restaurant. Maybe a yoga gift pass might be a better idea that treating your special someone to a massage — although we like massages, too!

Another great gift idea this Valentine’s Day is a visit with us! Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to improve mood, reduce anxiety, provide drug-free pain relief, not to mention optimize the body and the brain — in many cases just in one visit!

Contact Espinosa Family Chiropractic to learn more about our treatments this Valentine’s Day. We look forward to working on you!

Espinosa Family Chiropractic specializes in corrective care that provides spinal correction for patients who are in need of adjustments.

Corrective care chiropractic aims to evaluate the Central Nervous System, trauma, pathology, and spinal functionality. Our CNS system is tied to all of our tissues, organs, and every single one of our cells, so it’s important that it functions in an optimum capacity. 

Chiropractic both corrects spine misalignment, not to mention provides relief care for pain and injuries — all without drug intervention. Corrective chiropractic is an all-natural treatment that will help get the best out of you in numerous ways.

We always treat the whole person and we aim to address the root cause of the problem, instead of just masking the symptoms. We’ll create a custom-tailored solution designed to meet your specific needs. During your initial consultation, we’ll go over a unique plan to support your body and your immune system by helping the spine function at optimum capacity.

Chiropractic treatment has been shown to improve symptoms for asthma patients, but why?

First, asthma is a condition that can often be caused or alleviated by immune system hypersensitivity, not to mention the functionality of the respiratory system. Both of these vital systems inside the body depend on the communication going on between the brain and spinal cord. Spine misalignment can often make asthma worse, and the jobs we work and the vehicles we drive in are all causing your body to coil tight like a spring, so no wonder the body’s systems can get so seriously out of whack from our daily grinds.

Spine misalignment can also occur as the result of an accident or an injury, whether it occurs during work or during our off hours.

Asthma is a condition that needs serious attention and maintenance, and chiropractic treatment is one way to provide yourself with a drug-free solution that works extremely well with your current health and wellness protocol.

In today’s grind culture it’s easy to sacrifice our sleep in lieu of getting something that we perceive as important achieved. 

However, lack of sleep on a continuous basis has been linked to all sorts of health problems, including Alzheimer’s and Dementia, not to mention heart disease, and much, much more.

It’s more important than ever that you’re getting the requisite 7-9 hours of sleep each 24-hour cycle. Below, Espinosa Family Chiropractic goes over a few ways to achieve more restful sleep.

Exercise 3-4 Times Per Week

When we don’t get our exercise in, this means we have excess energy, which can turn against us in the form of anxiety and stress. After a nice long workout, we generally have a better perspective on things after we’ve burned off that extra steam. Remember that our ancestors got 15,000-20,000 steps in per day. If we can be somewhere around there, we’ll all be much happier campers and much better sleepers.

Cut Caffeine

Stop drinking caffeine past 4pm and try to make that second cup you might have during the day a half-caff (half regular; half decaffeinated coffee) in order to limit your caffeine intake. Drinking too much caffeine and drinking caffeine late in the day is a surefire way to disrupt your sleep cycles.

Utilize Chiropractic Treatment

Chiropractic treatments have been shown to promote a more restful night of sleep, not to mention reduce overall anxiety and depression. After you get a treatment at Espinosa Family Chiropractic you’ll leave our offices feeling great. Contact us today to learn more about how our treatments go hand in hand with a healthy lifestyle.

At Espinosa Family Chiropractic we deal with a fair amount of patients who come to us feeling the tension in their bodies from their everyday grinds. Often, we find that people’s necks, backs, and their joints take on a tremendous amount of their daily pressures.

Below, we go over a few ways to alleviate joint pain as well as how our treatments can provide drug-free pain relief.

Stretch Every Day

Stretch at least once every day, whether it’s a quick 10-minute session or you dedicate an entire hour to stretching is up to you. You’ll start to notice your body recover from workouts more quickly, not to mention feel better in your own skin day-to-day.

Exercise

Exercising your body might seem counterproductive to healing your joint pain, but exercise and strength training will actually strengthen our muscles, which will help support our spine as well as our joints. Repetitive motion has been linked to joint pain, so try to switch up your workouts as often as possible.

As January starts to enter its final days, it’s a good idea to take a look at how you’re starting out your year, in order to ensure you have a productive and rewarding 2020. Below, Espinosa Family Chiropractic goes over a few ways to take stock and inventory of your progress.

How Are You Feeling?

If you’re making healthier choices and have been since the start of the year, you should be at the phase of progress where you’re noticing improvements in your health. You might have more energy, feel stronger and more fit, not to mention have a better and healthier attitude. If not, maybe there are some adjustments that need to be made.

Where Can You Improve?

Take a look at any areas where you might be slacking off, whether it’s work, leisure, or self-care. Improve upon those areas to bolster your weaknesses and take your wellness regiment to the next level.

Can Chiropractic Help?

Chiropractic treatments have been shown to improve mood, not to mention optimize the body, your internal processes, and your brain. Contact Espinosa Family Chiropractic today to learn more about how our treatments can help you achieve your 2020 goals.

When it comes down to it, some of us have more energy than others throughout the day and much of it has to do with the choices we make throughout the day for our health and wellness. When we’re eating good foods, getting the right amount of sleep, as well as staying active and hydrating, this sets the tables for an energy-infused day consistently.

Below, Espinosa Family Chiropractic goes over a few ways to stay energized throughout the day.

1.) Power Nap

Power naps are a great way to replenish yourself in the middle of the day. Try to time your naps for 15-45 minutes, because you don’t want to over nap, which might increase drowsiness.

2.) Smoothie Power

Drink a veggie smoothie with kale, garlic, chlorophyll, and add some protein powder that works for you. You’ll feel amazing!

3.) Exercise Regularly

Exercising regularly will help energize you throughout the day and reduce daily anxiety, helping promote a healthy night of sleep.

In this day and age, more and more people are looking for homeopathic, all-natural solutions to diversify their health and wellness repertoire. Chiropractic treatment used to have a negative stigma attached to it. Many folks expect chiropractic treatment to be a finite experience, like, say, a few treatments and then you’re cleared to get back in the game.

However, it’s important to look at the big picture. Every day we sit in cars and in offices, then many of us go exercise and carry sizeable loads in our personal and professional lives. That means that your body is constantly going through the wringer. Chiropractic treatment can address specified problems like spine pain, headaches, even insomnia and gastrointestinal issues. However, chiropractic also works to decompress our bodies, working to improve our flexibility and range of motion at the same time. To get an adjustment is to recalibrate the body and mind.

Couldn’t you use that every once in a while? We think so, too.

That’s why Espinosa Family Chiropractic is here year-round to provide our all-natural, drug-free treatments that are aimed at treating the whole patient. Contact us today to learn about how chiropractic care can fit into your self-care routine.

Espinosa Family Chiropractic treats many patients who begin their years looking to achieve new goals, and a part of achieving our goals is building healthy habits that help us achieve them.

Below, we go over a few healthy habits to build this year that will have you being more productive, not to mention feeling healthy each day to attack whatever obstacles come your way this year.

1.) Take Care of Yourself

Practicing self-care is important, but we’re not talking Netflix here, people. Take a hike or take a yoga class after a tough work week or fitness routine. Get a massage and pursue chiropractic treatment when you’re feeling out of whack. Making these types of healthy decisions will go a long way.

2.) Help Others

Helping others is something that many people forget to put on their agenda. Having more of a service style attitude will make you an asset to others. Help others by giving the gift of chiropractic treatment for birthdays, for instance (wink, wink).

3.) Take On Challenges

Choose more challenging goals this year and always take the more difficult route to achieve your end goal. At the very least, never take short cuts.
