Chiropractic During Pregnancy
Chiropractic care represents a viable drug-free pain management and overall wellness solution for patients at all stages of their lifespan, including pregnancy. Chiropractic treatments have been shown to improve pain and discomfort experienced during pregnancy. Chiropractic treatments have not been shown to disrupt the natural pregnancy process, much the contrary, actually.
Reduce Your Labor and Delivery Time
Chiropractic treatments will help your mind/body balance during pregnancy and help you better manage the labor and delivery process, times of which for experiencing both have even been shown to reduce in patients who have undergone chiropractic treatment prior.
Your Body Can Get Out of Whack During Pregnancy

How to Reduce Stress Daily
Did you know that stress has adverse effects on the body? Stress can lead to things like headaches, muscle changes, fatigue, and even a loss of sex drive. The world doesn’t seem to be getting any less stressful. There are more drivers on the busy roads every day. Some of us spend 2 hours in traffic before and after work. Some of us work less than fulfilling jobs. Others have stress at work or home to deal with.
It’s time to start dealing with your stress and time to start developing coping mechanisms to help you manage your stress. Below are a few ways you can reduce your stress every day.
Exercise
Exercising to exertion is one of the best ways to deal with stress. We are genetically wired from our hunting and gathering ancestors who used to get in upwards of 15,000 steps in per day. Getting somewhere in the range of 10,000 steps today is acceptable. Go for a run, go for a hike, or take that martial arts class. You’ll begin to notice your stress decrease.
Practice Mindfulness
Knowing the patterns of your mind is important, and meditation is a great way to settle the mind and help you identify thought patterns. Meditation and practicing mindfulness exercises will help build your inner calm.
Limit Caffeine Consumption
Some of us are wired for stress and a cup of coffee can take us over the edge. Limit your intake to no more than 50 grams of caffeine per day. Have a cup or two in the morning, but do not have caffeine past 4 pm if you want a restful night of sleep.
Chiropractic care is also a great way to reduce stress. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to reduce pain, reduce anxiety, and even help with insomnia. Contact Scorca Chiropractic Center today to schedule your consultation.
Your Q3 Wellness Check In
Many of us make New Year’s resolutions that have long run dry by now, but for those of us who are still on track to achieve our wellness goals for 2019, the May-to-June transition presents a perfect opportunity to assess where you’re at and determine what you need to do in order to achieve your health and wellness goals.
Below Scorca Chiropractic Center goes over a few questions you can ask yourself to make sure you’re still on track.
How Are Your Feeling?
Pay attention to your body. If you’re eating right, exercising, and engaging in active recovery, then your body should be feeling great, not to mention your state of mind. If you’re not feeling good or better than you were before you started paying attention to your wellness routine, then maybe it’s time to make some considerable adjustments.
Is There Any Pain?
If you’re being active chances are your body will experience pain and discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to reduce overall joint, neck, and back pain the drug-free, all-natural way!
Can You Make Any Adjustments?
If you’re slacking at cardio, yoga, or keeping your appointments with your chiropractor, now is the time to up your game in those realms. Your body will thank you for it.
If you experience any hurdles in your new life of wellness, contact Scorca Chiropractic Center today. We have a long track record of helping our patients achieve their health and wellness goals.
Working Yoga into Your Busy Week
Yoga, same with chiropractic care, can be an excellent practice that will bring you untold health benefits when it comes to your back, neck, spine, joints, your legs, and even your brain!
It’s all true, yet when it comes to taking care of ourselves, many of us tend to slack in that department, justifying the move by saying we have busy schedules. But, the truth is, yoga can be worked into even the busiest work week. Read on for a few ways you can bring yoga into your daily ritual.
Yoga in the Morning
If you have a computer, watch yoga videos and pull together a beginner routine if you have no experience. With a mat and a little bit of willingness, you’ll get a good stretch in and even experience the breathing and meditative benefits of yoga before you start your day.
Work Yoga
Take a break for a few minutes each hour to stretch it out. If you know some yoga moves, even better! You’ll be relieving your body of the strain from sitting at the computer or being on your feet all day.
Yoga Class
Taking a yoga class will help you up your game so your solo sessions become even more beneficial. Taking a class will also hold you accountable for showing up, which is 90% of the battle.
If you have any questions about how you can bring yoga into your life, not to mention learn how chiropractic can be an excellent yoga companion, contact Scorca Chiropractic Center today to learn more.
3 Ways to Achieve More Restful Sleep
Achieving more restful sleep on a nightly basis will help you be more alert during the day, which will help you be more effective at work, while being active during exercise, and even keep you more engaged in your personal relationships as a result of being recharged and well-rested each day.
It’s when our sleep becomes compromised, whether it be from having too much caffeine, not getting as much exercise, or the dealing with the daily stresses of life, that our wellness can take a serious slow. Below are a few ways that you can get better sleep, which will help you increase productivity, boost wellness, and even avoid injury that comes about from fatigue.
1.) Do Yoga
Yoga is a great way to release tension in the body. The right yoga class will also give you an incredible workout.
2.) Exercise to Exertion
Try to push yourself and get a cardiovascular workout at least 3-4 times per week. If you can set aside an hour 5 times per week and strike the right balance between cardio and strength training, this will help relieve anxiety and help the body get its steps in, which will help you earn better sleep at night.
3.) Meditation
Meditation is a great way to increase relaxation and help you reduce stress and overall anxiety. Meditation will also help you improve mindfulness and improve sleep.
Chiropractic care is also a great way to boost wellness and make sure that your body is functioning at optimum capacity. Nothing is more soothing and relaxing than getting a chiropractic adjustment, which has also been shown to help with improving patient’s sleep. Contact Scorca Chiropractic Center to schedule your consultation today.
The Hidden Benefits of Chiropractic

1.) Chiropractic is Good for Neurofunctionality
Did you know that chiropractic benefits the brain in tremendous ways? If you’ve been feeling like a dim bulb, this could be because the communication pathways between the brain and the body are all jammed up. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to increase brain functionality, benefit memory, and increase overall altertness.
2.) Chiropractic Can Help You Achieve More Restful Sleep
There’s nothing like chiropractic care to help your mind and body relax. You’ll experience reduced stress and reduced anxiety, which will help you get your ZzZz.

5 Foods to Boost Your Wellness
It’s important to start thinking about eating in terms of what it does for your, the effects it has on your body, and the ways it can fuel your productivity throughout your day. So many of us only think of food in terms of pleasure, but once we’re able to start thinking a little differently, it can lead to more conscious awareness of what we’re putting in our body.
Below are a few foods you can start incorporating into your diet immediately (unless you’re allergic, of course).
1.) Kale
Kale is an amazing superfood packed with antioxidants and vitamins that help fuel your day and boost your overall health. Kale will even help reduce your risk of getting heart disease and help lower your blood pressure.
2.) Beets
Beats are intense in color but low in calories; they’re a fantastic source of nutrients like fiber and vitamin C. Beets also help lower your blood pressure.
3.) Garlic!
Garlic is rich in allicin, which has antivirus, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. In even small amounts garlic is very good at keeping your body healthy. Garlic is also rich in vitamins like B1, B6, manganese, calcium, copper, and more!
4.) Walnuts
Walnuts are rich in those good fats you want that fuel your cognition. Eat them any time of day for a boost!
5.) Turmeric
Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties, is a powerful antioxidant, and contains 300+ naturally-occurring components like beta-carotene, vitamin C, calcium, flavonoids, fiber, niacin, potassium, iron, zinc and more!
If you have any other questions about how you can fuel your day in order to boost productivity and reduce your chances of getting an injury, contact Scorca Chiropractic Center today. We have a long track record of keeping our patients healthy and well!
3 Activities that Engage Your Core
You’ve likely often heard your annoying personal trainer friend preaching to you about engaging your core, but, the truth is, there are few activities that we actively engage in on a daily basis that incorporate our core stabilizer muscles.
You can think of your core as essentially your torso and all of the muscles involved therein. Below Scorca Chiropractic Center goes over a few activities you can start doing that will help you engage your core muscles, which will help you strengthen and protect your back, neck, and spine.
1.) Paddleboarding
Paddleboarding is a fun, scenic, and rigorous activity that constitutes a total body workout. The act of paddling yourself forces you to rotate back and forth, which will give you an excellent core workout quite fast.
2.) Yoga
There are certain types of yoga that you can do that will be a core-strengthening workout for you. Seek out the poses and routines that incorporate your core muscles and go from there! Do your yoga outdoors to get some much-needed vitamin D and fresh air.
3.) Engage in Deep Breathing
Engaging in deep breathing exercises, and even laughing often, actually engages your core more than you think. It’s a great way to cross off the mind, body, and spirit boxes!
If you have any additional question about how you can strengthen your body as a way to avoid injury and boost your wellness, contact Scorca Chiropractic Center today.
