What’s Not To Love About Chiropractic?
Problems you didn’t know your chiropractor could treat
Chiropractic Care for Cold Weather
Winter is in full swing and as much fun as snow days can be, long winters are tough on the body. We are no strangers to the toll winter can take here in Midland, MI and one of the most challenging aspects of winter weather is maintaining great health. To stay healthy throughout the winter, give chiropractic care a try.
Traveling with back pain!
Sitting for long periods of time in uncomfortable positions
is the price we pay to see new places, but it doesn’t have to aggravate severe
back pain. If you’re traveling this season, plan to get in to see your
chiropractor before taking off. Use chiropractic care as a preventative
measure.
As another preventative aid, pack light to eliminate
unnecessary back strain when carrying luggage. When lifting heavy objects, it’s
always crucial to do so with the proper form making sure to keep a straight back.
Incorrect form even once or twice could trigger severe discomfort.
On route to the destination while in the sitting position,
maintain good posture by sitting up tall with your weight evenly distributed on
your seat while slightly pulling your shoulders back. Neck and low back support
pillows are essential to maintaining proper posture while resting for low back
pain relief.
Whichever mode of travel is used, sitting breaks can be
implemented. It’s easier to get out of the car and stretch your legs but
walking around a plane is also an option. Standing up to stretch and move the
body will loosen the muscles and alleviate back pain.
Back pain medications don’t have to be the only way to find relief. Chronic back
pain relief could be as simple as planning ahead and traveling prepared

Chiropractic Care for Fibromyalgia
Spring is here! Lets talk about your health.
Spring in Midland, Michigan is in full bloom, and it’s time to get out and enjoy it!

Chiropractic care is a great place to get started. Preferred Chiropractic of Midland has some reasons why you should consider incorporating chiropractic care for pain management into your busy spring schedule:
Spinal Decompression
During each treatment session, the patient lies on a heavily padded comfortable bed, secured into position by an upper and lower body harness. Typically, each session is divided into cycles where spinal decompression forces alternate between a maximum and minimum therapeutic level. The cycling of forces in this manner creates a pumping action that simulates the natural process responsible for re-nourishing and healing your damaged disc.
