About The Guide

Our chiropractors created this practical, easy-to-follow guide to help you understand how your spine works, what causes back pain, and what simple habits can improve your spinal hygiene. Inside, you’ll also learn how chiropractic adjustments help restore function and support your long-term healing. Here’s what you’ll learn:

01
Why Back Pain Happens
Back pain develops slowly over years — not overnight. The guide explains how subluxation (joint dysfunction) affects the nerves, why dehydration and compression increase with age, and how reduced spinal integrity disrupts communication across your entire body.
02
How Chiropractic Helps Your Spine Work Better
+
You’ll discover how adjustments restore motion to restricted joints, relieve nerve interference, and create short-term chemical effects (like muscle relaxation) that support long-term structural change. The guide also explains what the “pop” really is and why it matters.
03
Simple Daily Habits for a Healthier Spine
+
Learn foundational spinal hygiene habits such as moving every 30–45 minutes, incorporating micro-breaks, walking daily, and maintaining healthy posture to reduce spinal stress and improve function between adjustments.
04
Easy At-Home Tests for Spinal Imbalance
+
The guide shows you quick self-checks — like shoulder and hip alignment, plus basic range-of-motion tests — to identify whether chiropractic care may benefit you.
