The human spine has 33 individual vertebrae that make up the spinal column. The vertebrae are then numbered and divided into 5 regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccyx. As such, the numbering is the first letter of the region and the number starting at the top of the region (C1-C7, T1-T12, L1-L5).

Check out these three basic stretches to incorporate every morning into your daily routine to decrease neck and back pain!
👉Door frame chest stretch: Go and face a doorway and stand with both arms outstretched in a T pose. Lean forward into the door frame pressing arms back, feeling the stretch through the chest.
👉Hip flexors stretch: Use a chair or wall for balance. Similar to stretching a quad, kick up one leg and grab your ankle behind your back. While feeling the light stretch in the front of your quad, lean forward changing the stretch through the hip flexor. Repeat for both sides.
👉Walk up to face the wall. Place one foot in front of the other with your foremost foot against the wall. Stand with your back foot flat against the floor with the front foot heel against the floor and balls of the foot against the wall. With the front leg straight, lean forward stretching the calf. Repeat for both sides.
Keep doing these stretches daily to keep loose and pain-free! Share with a friend this week!

You can’t go through life without taking some form of tumble or fall along the way. Whether it be a bumped shin, a banged elbow, or a knocked shin you’re going to get a bruise at some point!
Upon impact, tiny blood vessels called capillaries in the skin break, releasing blood beneath the skin. This results in immediate discoloring and reddening. Over time, this leads to the hallmark blue or black color of a bruise!
While your body begins to heal the damage beneath the skin, it becomes inflamed as your lymphatic system pumps fluid to the zone to remove the leaked blood and to stimulate platelets to begin the healing and rebuilding process.
This discoloration with swelling is all a part of healing your bruise. Bruises are painful and annoying but a very normal part of everyday life!

Myth busting time: No pain, no gain.
Working out and staying fit does put you in a place of discomfort. It can even be uncomfortable! However, pushing yourself too hard is not ok! Know your limits while working out. Pain is your body's way of saying, “things aren’t ok!” and sometimes you should listen to it.
Seek healthy, safe workouts that stimulate growth without sacrificing safety. Feeling the next day pain of a great workout is the only pain you should seek! Go to our website at elitechiro.org for our list of services!

Fat is a taboo word. Whether you avoid it or not, it’s one of the big focal points of the gym. We all want to lose it! Just so you know, we all have it! There is no way to get rid of all of it and it does have its benefits physiologically for your body. So what exactly is fat?
Fat is the common word we use for the energy storage molecules found in adipose tissue. Adipose cells take blood sugar and convert it into lipids for long term storage. Fat acts as an energy source for your body as a way of making sure that you always have fuel to live, breathe, and move!
Adipose tissue is found throughout the body. When we intake more “fuel” than we need at the moment, the body converts some of the leftovers into fat. The distribution and location it gets stored are based upon your genetics.
When you put your body into a “caloric deficit” you are using more energy than what is readily available in your blood. When that deficit occurs, your body does its best to keep energy levels high by utilizing the stored fat as an alternative. This is why it takes moving, lifting, and sweating to jumpstart fat loss.
Fat helps balance hormones which monitor and maintain healthy internal cycles. We all need some fat to be healthy and happy. Fat is necessary and is a good thing to talk about.

While you may still feel like a kid inside, it might be a good idea once in a while every so many year to do a self-check. While internally you may feel up to any challenge, your body may not be.
Ask for help. Before attempting a sketchy ladder climb or a heavy lift, consider asking for help. A phone call to a friend or family member or even knocking on a neighbors door can be humbling, but it can save you a lot of wear and tear in the long term.
Build your environment with your future in mind. Homes with three flights of stairs are very stylish and convenient in one’s youth but are killer on tired knees. When choosing a living space or doing a remodel, think 15 years in the future.
You’re going to feel that when you’re older! Hard impacts and big crashes are easy to shrug off in your youth. However, the years have a way of catching up with you. While you know you will feel “fine” tomorrow, do yourself a favor and rest and recover appropriately so that in the future you have something to thank you for.
Think ahead and prepare. Make sure that the lifestyle you are living today is complementary to you of the future!

Ever wondered if you back pain is more than just a bruise or an ache? It can be something more deep routed. Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine that goes sideways as opposed to the natural “s” curve of the spine that goes forward and back down the spine.
Scoliosis most commonly pops up during the growth spurt just before puberty Severe scoliosis can be very painful and disabling!
Treatment for scoliosis often is unnecessary, however, some doctors will prescribe a brace or even surgery.
Along with these methods, scoliosis can be treated with alignments and exercises which naturally straighten the spine. Nothing is overnight, but the work you put in can have lasting effects for correcting your curvature and relieving pain.
The spine is apt for several different disorders and curvatures. For analysis and personalized treatment, come in to see us! Website: https://www.elitechiro.org/

If you have a desk job, you’ve probably already heard of the problems caused by prolonged time spent seated. We could spend quite a bit of time addressing each individual problem.
Instead of listing off every single issue, let's list one simple solution: Standing Desks. Standing desks are offered by several different companies these days. They come in wood, metal, and even glass in all colors and styles to suit your preferred interior design. Many are raisable, either manually or electronically.
While standing desks alleviate the problems of prolonged sitting, you should not spend your entire shift standing either. Make sure to choose comfortable footwear that will provide you with the support you need. Another thing to consider is too much time standing may cause pooling of blood in the lower leg.
Make sure to switch up standing and sitting throughout your day, choosing an hour or so in one position then switching for an hour in the other.
Whatever way you work, let us work with you. Standing, sitting, or constantly moving, we can help your body perform and feel better on the job all day long. www.elitechiro.org/

How has sitting on your wallet or uneven surface impacts your spine?
Up to 85% of Americans suffer from back pain at some time in their life. Back pain caused by back-pocket wallets is so common it has nicknames: hip-pocket syndrome, wallet neuropathy, and Costanza Wallet Syndrome.
When you sit down, your overstuffed wallet distorts your posture, twists your hips, puts pressure on your spine, and causes it to be out of alignment. The wallet can also put pressure on the piriformis muscle which aggravates the sciatic nerve and can lead to sciatica.
Our two solutions for you are:
1.) Trade-in your rear pocket wallet for a front pocket wallet.
2.) Regularly take care of your spine with chiropractic and daily physical activity and stretching!
