How Maple Grove Chiropractors Get Rid Of A Crick In Your Neck
More often than not, we take our neck’s flexibility for granted until there’s a problem. We think nothing of turning our heads when someone calls out to us or when we crane our necks to check for oncoming traffic before making a turn.
But when you have a crick in the neck (i.e., your neck feels stiff and hurts to move), everything becomes much more challenging. You have to turn your whole torso in the direction you want to look to avoid the pain.
Neck stiffness on its own is a hassle, and that goes doubly so if there’s neck pain to ..read more

Spinal Disc Problems: Bulging Disc vs Herniated Disc vs Disc Desiccation
Spinal disc problems. When most people think about the spinal column, they primarily visualize the vertebrae — i.e., the bones. They don’t think about the cushions between those bones that prevent them from rubbing against each other, causing wear and tear. These “cushions” are spinal discs. Imagine them as jelly-filled doughnuts with tough and rubbery exteriors.
For starters, a healthy spinal disc has a fluid inner portion called the nucleus pulposus and a tough outer layer called the annulus fibrosus. When a problem ari ..read more

Myofascial pain syndrome. Believe it or not, pain isn’t an entirely bad thing. Obviously, it hurts — that’s the bad part. But that’s also what’s good about it. Pain is your body telling you that something is wrong. If you grabbed a scalding hot plate and it didn’t hurt, that would be worrying.
Musculoskeletal pain is relatively common. It may come and go, but instinctively, you know something’s wrong when it becomes persistent. In this post, we’ll review two specific types of muscle pain – trigger points and myofascial pai ..read more

How Maple Grove Chiropractors Help with Long-Term Posture Improvements
Chiropractor for posture. At its most basic, posture is defined by the position of your spine, shoulders, and hips when walking, sitting, standing, running, or lying down. Most people struggle with poor posture at some point in their lives.
Ideal or good posture keeps your spine in correct alignment, distributes your weight evenly across your body, and ensures that you don’t strain or overstretch your muscles, joints, or ligaments. Less strain means reduced wear and tear on these body parts, which reduces the risks of painf ..read more
