Although extremely common, don't fall into the trap of thinking headaches are "normal." Having regular headaches is absolutely NOT normal.
Although there are a number of different types of headaches, tension headaches are one of the most common, especially with people that spend the majority of their day in front of a computer. Tension headaches are often caused by poor posture that leads to tight neck muscles.
Chiropractic care can help correct these muscular imbalances and help relieve tension headaches. For more information about headaches and how chiropractic care can help go to https://www.westhoustonchiropractor.com/headaches/
🍩 🍪 Sugar increases your body's inflammation levels, leading to pain, soreness, and lack of interest in staying active.
Yes, they taste great. However, if your goal is to get out of pain, have good posture, and feel good again, the sugar isn't doing you any favors. #corechiropractic #betterposture #houstonchiropractor

"Good first visit. Got some relief from the relief from the adjustment. Hopefully we are on the right track. Meet with Dr. Wafer again on Thursday to review the x-ray and the details of his plan to rid me of the pain."

One of our patients' greatest fears is that they have a disc bulge or herniation. People often think that disc issues are the worst case scenario and require surgery. However, we see patients on a daily basis get relief from pain caused by disc bulges and herniations, especially since we have added spinal decompression to our clinic. Spinal decompression has been proven to effectively treat not only disc bulges, but also degenerative discs. Surgery is NOT the only treatment option when it comes to disc problems. You can find more information about spinal decompression on our website at https://www.westhoustonchiropractor.com/services/spinal-decompression/

It sounds so simple, but if you ever used a device that tracks your steps, you'll see how you can get a lot of steps in a day or manage very few.
An easy way to increase your steps is to park further away, take the stairs, and look for opportunities to add a few more steps in your day. #corechiropractic #betterposture #houstonchiropractor

Is working from home leading to increased neck or back pain?

Keep the weight distributed evenly and your spine will thank you! Strive to keep the weight down in backpacks, but when you do have to wear them, keep it even.
Also, avoid wearing them too low, as that will pull down on your shoulders and strain your neck. #corechiropractic #betterposture #houstonchiropractor

Lower back pain affects more than 3 million people in the U.S. every year. Many that suffer from lower back pain struggle to find a cause, the pain simply just appears.
In our practice, we find that many people that suffer from lower back pain have a leg length discrepancy. This means that they have one leg that is naturally shorter than the other.
We offer a specific x-ray that allows us to measure the exact length of each leg to determine if a leg length discrepancy may be leading to lower back pain.

Lower back pain that is worse in the morning, especially when getting out of bed, is one of the most common symptoms of degenerative disc disease (DDD).
Although, DDD is more common in the elderly population, in can occur at any age. Spinal decompression is a proven treatment option for those with DDD regardless of age.

Some people can tell when it's going to rain because of the aching in the knee. That's scar tissue that's built up over time. It's not uncommon for active people to sustain meniscal tears and/or tears to the the surrounding ligaments and tendons.
For people that sit all day, it's likely that the quadriceps muscles have become imbalanced. The muscle is called "Quad"riceps because the muscle has 4 parts. Commonly, the inner thigh will become weaker and cause tracking issues with the knee.
Keeping the knees healthy and strong will allow people to keep moving, running, kneeling, and squatting without pain. People with knee issues start to avoid all activities and that's a recipe for bad health. Let's work on getting the knees healthy and strong!
The top exercise to strengthen your knees is the Straight Leg Extension exercise (see video below):

At our Galleria location, we also have the Knee on Trac decompression chair, which helps to pull and revitalize the knee joint. We combine the therapy with laser to help speed the healing process. Here's a video that shows how it works...

Try the knee exercise first and see how you do. Your chiropractor can also do adjustments to the knee to help with alignment. Long-term, you need to do exercises to strengthen and stabilize the knee.
We have a lot of knee exercises here:
Beginner knee exercises: https://www.corechiropractic.net/knee1/
Advanced knee exercises: https://www.corechiropractic.net/knee2/
If any of these exercises cause pain, then stop doing them and talk to your chiropractor. As you start to do the exercises regularly, you should notice that you not only have less pain, but you feel more stable and can walk and run easier. There are many benefits to doing these exercises even if you don’t have pain.
Try the exercise out this month. Let your chiropractor know if you have any questions and let him or her know how well you are doing because of them!
TEXAS SUPREME COURT UPDATE: Chiropractic Wins!
Last week, the Texas Supreme Court issued its opinion in the case of Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners, et al. v. Texas Medical Association (commonly referred to as the “nerve case” within the chiropractic community).
The Supreme Court held that the Texas Medical Association’s “challenged rules, read in context, do not exceed the statutory scope of chiropractic practice.” The Court reversed the Third Court of Appeals’ judgment that TBCE’s rules on “musculoskeletal system,” subluxation complex,” and VONT (a specialized chiropractic test) were invalid, and instead rendered them valid.
In short, TBCE and TCA won on the issues of TBCE’s definition of “musculoskeletal system,” “subluxation complex,” and performance of VONT by a chiropractor.
“This is a landmark day and case for the Texas chiropractic community and indeed the chiropractic community across the globe,” said Dr. Mo Jahadi, President of the Texas Chiropractic Association. “I want to thank every chiropractor in Texas and our friends from across the United States, who helped TCA in this fight. This was a battle that could not have been won without you.”
