Tight Muscles

By Scorca

Why Stretching Isn’t Fixing Your Tight Muscles If you’re stretching regularly but still feel tight, sore, or restricted, you’re not alone. Many people assume tight muscles mean they need more stretching. But in many cases, stretching isn’t fixing the real problem—and sometimes it’s not the solution at all. Muscles often feel tight not because they’re…

A New Year Alignment

By Scorca

A Better Way to Support Your Health The New Year often brings a desire to feel better in your body, move with less effort, and start fresh after months of accumulated stress. While many people focus on new routines or fitness goals, how the body actually moves and adapts is just as important. Daily habits…

Digital Fatigue

By Scorca

The New Back Pain: How Screen Time Rewires Your Spine In today’s world, digital fatigue has quietly become the new form of back pain. People spend hours sitting, scrolling, typing, and staring at screens, often without noticing how their posture shifts over time. Your body wasn’t designed to hold the same position all day, and…

Age Smarter

By Scorca

Aging is a natural part of life, but how we age is largely up to us. While genetics play a role, your daily habits and lifestyle choices have a much greater impact. One often-overlooked factor in healthy aging is spinal health — and that’s where we come in. Your spine does far more than support…

Boost Your Energy!

By Scorca

Feeling tired all the time isn’t just about getting too little sleep. Low energy can come from stress, poor posture, and even spinal misalignments that affect how your nervous system functions. Many people are surprised to learn that regular chiropractic care may help restore energy naturally by improving the way your body works as a…

Back to School

By Scorca

As kids head back to school, parents often think about new clothes, supplies, and after-school activities. What many don’t realize is that the school year can place new stress on a child’s growing body. From heavy backpacks to long hours at desks, these daily habits can affect posture, spinal alignment, and overall health. That’s where…

Beyond Stretching

By Scorca

Chiropractic Care for Desk Workers If you spend long hours at a desk, you know the toll it takes on your body. Tight shoulders, a stiff neck, and an aching back become part of daily life. Many people turn to stretching for quick relief, but the truth is simple—lasting relief goes beyond stretching. That’s where…

Summer Travel

By Scorca

Summer Travel and Spinal Health: How to Stay Aligned on the Go Summer is travel season—family road trips, beach vacations, cross-country flights. While getting away is good for the soul, it can be tough on your spine. Long hours sitting in cars, hauling luggage, and sleeping in unfamiliar beds all put extra stress on your…

Spring Cleaning

By Scorca

Spring Cleaning Your Health: A Chiropractic Approach Spring is the season of renewal—a time to declutter, refresh, and set the stage for healthier habits. While many people focus on tidying up their homes, it’s just as important to “spring clean” your health. Chiropractic care offers a natural way to reset your body, improve mobility, and…

Heart Health

By Scorca

February is Heart Health Month, a time to focus on cardiovascular wellness and the steps we can take to keep our hearts strong. While diet and exercise are well-known factors in heart health, one often-overlooked contributor is spinal alignment. Proper spinal health plays a crucial role in circulation, nerve function, and overall cardiovascular well-being. Here’s…

Swimming for Rehabilitation

By Scorca

Swimming is a super activity: much like a smoothie can act as a vitamin cocktail, so can swimming be a boon for the body and mind. By reducing the force of gravity, it is one of the least-stress inducing activities for joints and the natural resistance provided by water helps tone many muscles we tend…

Power to the Pillow

By Scorca

When it comes to buying a pillow, we should consider it an investment in the health of our body, especially the neck. A proper-fitting pillow is one that provides you with the comfort and support needed to sleep restfully and wake up feeling refreshed and ready for the day. An ill-fitting pillow is one that…

Text Neck: A Modern Ailment

By Scorca

Take a second to define the role of your cell phone within the context of your life: is it even a phone? A recent survey found that the least used app on the iPhone is, “Phone.” So, what is it then? Social media manager, notebook, business tool, camera, wallet? The point is that such a…

Stretches for the Deskbound

By Scorca

You could probably devote an entire book to the subject of stretches for people who find themselves deskbound by their jobs. Being tethered to a desk and computer has become the modern proverbial ball and chain. As a chiropractor, this is grim news: we are seeing more people than ever come through our doors with…

The Question of Calories

By Scorca

There is a lot of misinformation on the internet regarding calories. For people looking to minimize the burden on the muscles and structures of their spine, maintaining caloric balance is essential. This means that your diet and exercise habits must be balanced so that calories consumed = calories burned.  Calorie facts:  A calorie is a…

Getting your Rest

By Scorca

Are you getting between 7.5 and 9 hours of restful, productive sleep per night? While the number varies per the individual, it is agreed that, to function our best, we need to devote a healthy amount of the 24 hour day to sleep. Sleep, or to extract even further, rest, is one of the most…

Pain on the Plane

By Scorca

What’s that you say? You feel stiff and sore stepping off the plane after your flight? It’s no surprise given the minimal space and ill-fitting seat backs that are part and parcel of seemingly every airline. Only children seem to be immune to the kind of damage that accrues so quickly during a flight. So…

Being a Proactive Parent: the Backpack Edition

By Scorca

The school year is just around the corner which means it is time to take stock of your child’s backpack health! Each year seems to require a heavier load of books and this can create problems and pain for spines that are trying to grow. Keep these tips in mind: Weight: the ideal load should…

Hydration and Stress

By Scorca

Nutrition is probably the biggest way we influence our health on a daily basis: for example, you may not be able to choose how well you sleep but you can choose what ingredients you put into your body. As part of a holistic wellness plan, nutrition influences everything from body weight and metabolic rate to…
