When it comes down to it, excellence is a habit, or, at the very least, we are what we do habitually. Habits are the behaviors we engage in each day whether we’re aware of it or not. We all have a few bad habits that might be holding us back in multiple areas of our lives, which is why it’s important to target negative behaviors and try to counteract them. Below, Scorca Chiropractic goes over 3 bad habits that may be holding you back and what to do about it.

1.) You’re Not Eating Clean Enough

Eat clean whole foods as often as you can. If you ever have a choice to make between having junk or skipping a meal until you can eat something healthier, go with the latter. Start looking at the food you eat as fuel for your body and brain.

2.) You’re Not Hydrating Enough

More than half the population walks around each day with some level of dehydration, which can disrupt overall physical and mental performance, not to mention put you in a crankier mood. Drink half your body weight in ounces of water for health benefits you have to experience to believe.

3.) Self-Destructive Habits

Smoking, alcohol consumption, and recreational drug use are all behaviors that do not have your best interests in mind on multiple levels. Try to stop engaging in these habits to gain new health and wellness.

Chiropractic treatment is a great habit to make in 2020, which will provide you with drug-free pain relief, improved range of motion, improved sleep and mood, and much, much more. Contact Scorca Chiropractic today to schedule your consultation.

When it comes to the gifts we choose to give, many of us might opt for entertainment-centric products or items. The best types of gifts we can give are those that are meant to enhance a person’s life, which is why Scorca Chiropractic thought it would be a good idea to list a few gift ideas that are beneficial for your back, neck, and spine.

Yoga Classes

Yoga is a great way to ease muscle tension, not to mention improve flexibility and range of motion. Purchasing yoga classes for a loved one might be the ticket to a new year of wellness.

At the beginning of this year, it’s likely that you might have set out a few objectives for yourself to achieve. Maybe your goals had to do with your career; maybe your goals had to do with health and wellness.

At the end of the day, your goals should be well-diversified, because if you focus too much in one area of your life, there’s a good chance you may be slacking in another area.

Doing a self-inventory check is important this time of year to get you situated and thinking about what you need to do to make 2020 one for the books!

Did you know that most insurance providers include chiropractic treatment in their coverage plans?

This means that if you haven’t cashed in on your yearly insurance benefits, you could be losing out on wellness benefits you’ve been paying for all year. Most insurance plans do not roll over benefits, either, so you’ll likely reset at the beginning of the calendar year.

December is the last month you can schedule a consultation with your local chiropractic care specialist in Fremont, CA, otherwise, you’ll be using your benefits for the coming year. 

As you get through this last month of the year, chiropractic treatment might just be the perfect solution to get you over any fitness plateaus or power you through any sort of rut you might be in.

Many folks only decide it’s a good time to visit their local chiropractic care specialist in Fremont, CA when they have back or neck pain. However, the truth is, there are a wide variety of health conditions that chiropractic adjustments can help address, diminish, if not get rid of completely.

Below are a few occasions when it’s appropriate to visit your chiropractor.

You’re in Pain

If you have back, neck, shoulder, joint, leg, or even hand and foot pain, your chiropractic care specialist can provide treatments that will offer drug-free pain relief, even for chronic pain (like rheumatoid arthritis, for instance).

You Lack Mental Focus

Did you know that chiropractic treatments offer neurofunctional benefits that help your brain work better! Many people experience a thing called “Dim Bulb” which is the result of the brain and body’s communication channels getting jammed up. A chiropractic adjustment will help boost mental cognition, setting you up for success.

Your Immune System Has Been Slacking

If you’ve been feeling yourself getting sick or you’re feeling anything less than 100%, a chiropractic adjustment can help. Chiropractic treatment has been shown to help the body’s internal systems function at an optimum capacity, including your immune system and your digestive system.

Achilles tendinitis (also called tendinitis of the heel) is something that can come on swiftly — even if it’s due to extended strain and overuse. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to provide drug-free pain relief in such cases, not to mention help the body mend itself so the condition is relieved.

Achilles tendinitis occurs when the Achilles tendon (the largest tendon in the body) becomes irritated and/or inflamed. Your Achilles tendon undergoes tremendous strain, especially if you’re a runner or an athlete.

One option for Achilles pain is chiropractic treatment. Active Release Therapy (ART) is 

And one of the best ways to do this is with a treatment technique called Active Release (ART). ART, the gold standard in Achilles pain relief. This treatment will help break-up any existent scar tissue in your tendon, not to mention your leg and foot as well. It’s a great way to feel better in a hurry!

Chiropractic treatment can also help your stiff joints (especially in your ankles and feet), areas that typically go along with Achilles tendon injuries. It’s a one-two punch combination for the treatment of Achilles pain. Contact Scorca Chiropractic to learn more about how our treatments can help you!

For many of us, we might be looking for healthier options for our holiday fare. Whether you’re hosting the party or just bringing a side of some sort to a soiree that has already been organized, it’s a great idea to stand out by crafting dishes made with clean, whole ingredients.

Below, Scorca Chiropractic goes over a few creative dishes you can bring to the party that will be both exciting and good for those who partake.

1.) Sweet Kale, Cranberry, and Sunflower Seed Salad

Make a nice, healthy salad and throw in some crunch — almonds, walnuts, and sunflower seeds, for instance. Sweeten the deal with some of nature’s candy — dried cranberries are a great option, and dried green grapes work, too.

2.) Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are a healthier option than plain white bulk potatoes. You can make this dish in the pressure cooker and add pumpkin seeds, even some brown sugar, and grass-fed butter to add some serious flavor while also still using simple, natural ingredients.

3.) Skillet Honey and Pomegranate Chicken Thighs

This is a really simple dish to make — all you need are the titular ingredients as well as a cast-iron skillet. Here’s a great resource to get you started.

Chiropractic treatments are another great way to remain healthy in the midst of the holiday season. Contact Scorca Chiropractic today to learn more about who we are and what we do.

Hip pain can come about due to a number of variables, including too much exercise, sitting in an improper position for long periods of time, even an automobile accident.

Arthritis and Hip Pain

Arthritis is probably the most common cause of chronic, long-term hip pain, an age-related condition that wears down the cartilage that surrounds the hip joint. Osteoarthritis is a common condition where this situation occurs.

Traumatic arthritis can occur when there is trauma to the joint, like a fracture, for instance. Infectious arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can also cause hip pain due to attacking associated cartilage and even bone.

Hip Fractures

If you experience very sudden, severe hip pain, this could be the result of a hip fracture, in which case you would want to consult with a physician immediately.

Snapping hip syndrome, avascular necrosis, and osteonecrosis can also be the source of hip pain.

Chiropractic for Hip Pain

Chiropractic treatments have been shown to be beneficial to the back, neck, and spine, but also to your joints, including your hips. Chiropractic treatments have also been shown to provide drug-free pain relief, not to mention reduce or diminish arthritic symptoms. Contact Scorca Chiropractic to learn more about how our chiropractic treatments can help you. 

By now most folks out there associate chiropractic treatments with drug-free pain relief for your spine, neck, and back, however, there are additional health benefits to be gleaned from chiropractic adjustments.

Below, Scorca Chiropractic goes over a few lesser-known health benefits our treatments can bring to our patients.

Boosted Immune System

A chiropractic adjustment can help boost your immune system, helping your sick-fighting capabilities function better.

Improved Range of Motion

Chiropractic treatments will help your muscles and joints, which will increase your range of motion and help you avoid injuries down the road.
