As more and more of us work burdensome grinds during the week (and even on weekends, for some of us), it’s becoming more important than ever to practice self-care. The business executive is one role that will certainly keep your schedule very busy, but it will also put a lot of wear and tear on your body and mind.

Below, we talk about how chiropractic care is essential for the business person, no matter what level. Scorca Chiropractic is committed to providing education and chiropractic treatments that will help you live a better, healthier life.

The Workplace Grind

When you’re at work, it’s likely that you’re either on your feet all day long, or you’re sitting in a desk. Very few people can strike the perfect balance between standing and sitting. When we sit at our desks and stare at a screen, when we’re driving to work hunched in front of our steering wheel, we’re in awkward positions that distort our bodies, especially our spine.

Lack of Activity

Even though a lot happens in a business day, there’s likely not much physical activity going on, especially for the business professional. Not all of our employers have the resources to equip our offices with gyms and yoga instructors like some of those start-ups like to do. That’s why it’s up to you to get your fitness in — before or after hours. Chiropractic treatment is the perfect antidote for the work grind and the perfect companion to an active lifestyle.

Why Chiropractic?

Chiropractic treatments offer drug-free pain relief, which will keep you more productive for the long haul. Chiropractic adjustments will help your body and brain function at optimum capacity, not to mention bolster your internal systems, keeping your GI tract, immune system, and central nervous system working at their best.

Sometimes it’s the simple solutions that get the best results for us and it’s no different when it comes to our health and wellness. The truth is, there are a few easy things you can do that will jumpstart your wellness routine immediately. Below, Scorca Chiropractic goes over a few wellness tips that will get results fast.

Hydrate

Drink half your body weight in ounces of water each day. You’ll be surprised how much better you’ll feel and your body will be running closer to 100%.

Get Active

Even if it’s going to the stock room at work to take care of the intangibles, getting up out of your seat should be a top priority when you’re at work and you’re at play. It’s healthier to be active than it is to be slouching around

Experiment with Nutrition

Eat the stuff that makes you feel amazing! Don’t settle for fast food anymore and make sure to eat clean, whole foods — whatever you decide to choose. Go with what works and feels best for you.

Chiropractic adjustments are another simple way to optimize your body and your brain the quick, easy, and all-natural way. Contact Scorca Chiropractic today to schedule your consultation in order to learn more!

As we continue to get into more physical activity, it can get monotonous to spend long hours multiple times per week at a stuffy, crowded gym. In such cases, it’s a great idea to get outdoors to switch up your fitness, health, and wellness routine. 

However, during the fall season, it might be a little harder to get inspired to get outdoors in the colder weather. Below are a few ideas to help get you outside in the colder months of fall.

Morning Hikes

Morning hikes are great to get your body going, not to mention take a little time for yourself before the day gets started. Join a friend or a loved one to catch up on life in the early hours of the morning. You’ll be surprised how quickly you grow to enjoy this practice.

Run a 3k, 5k, or Half or Full Marathon

Running a race is a great way to get into shape and hold yourself accountable for running a certain amount of miles each week. There are tons of races, marathons, Turkey trots, and other opportunities to join large groups of people to get a good run in.

Do Your Own Yard Work

Doing your own yard work in the fall is a great way to get outdoors and to stay in touch with your home and surrounding property. Get rid of clutter, rake all those leaves off the grass, and take some real pride in where you live.

Getting more active in the Fall will likely put a little wear and tear on your body, but no worries, because Scorca Chiropractic has your back. Contact us today to schedule your consultation if you’re dealing with neck pain, back pain, joint pain, or a number of additional health conditions we can help treat.

Is your workplace setup organized and arranged in such a way that is optimized for your neck and back? If you’re leaving it up to your employer, chances are your desk, chair, and the rest of your workplace might not be exactly ergonomically sound.

Below are a few ways to make your workplace a little more neck and back-friendly.

Stand When You Can

If you don’t already have a stand-up/elevating desk, this could be a great addition to to your workplace setup. If you work at an office, chances are you spend quite a bit of time at your desk. If you can split your time between sitting and standing, this is ideal.

Don’t Forget Your Feet

Investing in an ergonomic footpad and a workplace foot massage device is worth every penny. These handy-dandy products, when utilized correctly can help significantly reduce wear and tear, not to mention joint and lower back pain.

Stretch it Out

If you can incorporate a short stretch routine into your 9-5, your back and neck will thank you. Chances are your employer doesn’t have a team stretch session going, so it’s important you take the time to stretch your body to reduce repetitive strain.

Contact Scorca Chiropractic if you experience pain from your workplace setup. Schedule your consultation today and we’ll get you back to healthy and well in no time.

It’s a sad fact of reality that many folks out there are downright hesitant to share certain pieces of information with the health professionals in their lives. Patients might be wondering what sort of information is safe to share with, say, their local chiropractor in Fremont, CA.

Below, Scorca Chiropractic goes over what you should share with your chiropractor as a way to get the most out of your chiropractic treatments. 

Talk About Your Diet

Let your chiropractor know what you’re eating and especially if you consume any foods that promote inflammation, which can be counterproductive to your chiropractic treatments.

Talk About Fitness Habits

Let your chiropractor know what you’re doing for fitness and especially let them know if you’re considering trying a new activity. Chiropractors have insider knowledge about which activities are healthy for your back and which put your spine, neck, and joints at the most risk.

Talk About Existing Health Issues

Let your chiropractor know if you’re experiencing health issues. Treatments we provide can help treat a host of symptoms, including headaches, insomnia, depression, joint pain, muscle stiffness, and more.

For some of us, Labor Day weekend is synonymous with taking a load off, eating lots of the sorts of foods we probably shouldn’t, and possibly drinking a few too many cold ones.

However, Labor Day is a great opportunity to engage in leisure while also staying productive, while… gasp… even being good to your body. Read on for a few tips to stay healthy and well over the extended holiday weekend from Scorca Chiropractic Center.

Stay Hydrated

Instead of drinking a bunch of beers, drink some nice, ph-balanced water and stay hydrated. If you’re out in the sun, you can seriously dehydrate yourself without the proper amount of water intake.

Do Something Physical

Instead of sitting on a boat, get inside the water and go for a swim. Do some nature hiking or get out in the yard and do some yard work or gardening you’ve been meaning to. It will help you feel accomplished and by the day’s end you’ll feel at peace and relaxed. Best of all, no hangover!

Eat Clean

Eating clean, whole foods instead of all the processed garbage that gets passed around over the holiday weekend will help fuel your activities and never give you the food hangover that most Labor Day fare will leave you with.

If you experience any back, neck, or leg pain after your Labor Weekend activities, contact Scorca Chiropractic Center today to learn more about how chiropractic adjustments can help.

Eating a balanced, healthy diet is more important in staying healthy than people give it credit for. More so, when you eat the Standard American Diet (“SAD”), not only is your body constantly bogged down with digesting mostly bad foods, but, in addition, your brain is lacking the nutrition it needs to think properly.

Below are a few simple ways to boost your nutrition.

1.) Eat More Veggies

No matter how many vegetables you eat, you could probably benefit from eating more. Have vegetables be the lion’s share of every meal you eat, if you can.

2.) Eat For Fuel

Stop eating for mouth pleasure and think about what you’re eating and how it will end up benefitting your body. Eat walnuts and avocados for healthy brain fuel, for instance. Stop eating refined sugars and empty carbs.

3.) Limit Your Intake

If the choice is eating horrible food or not eating, just don’t eat. Try to extend your time after waking to eat breakfast. Stop eating past 8pm if you can. If you can limit your food intake to an 8-hour window each day, you’ll start to achieve the health benefits associated with intermittent fasting.

If you have any questions about how chiropractic care can help boost your health alongside keeping a healthy diet, contact Scorca Chiropractic today.
