Working on a healthy lifestyle requires both a balanced diet and an active lifestyle. If you only have one and not the other, you wont make as much progress as you would like.

Did you know when you do this stretch daily, it can help relieve that low back pain and stiffness caused by not stretching? Especially if you sit at a desk all day. Swipe to see another option for those less flexible. The stretch pose is a modification with bolsters and a pillow...if you see she is sitting on a bolster/wedge. It is easier this way for someone less flexible in the hips if you sit on something and do the stretch!... Just a couple minutes a day stretching this lower back muscle can have amazing benefits! Foam rolling and using a tennis ball or lacrosse ball (up against a wall) is also very effective at releasing tension in the lower back. #lowerbackpain #movement #vernonactivehealth #vernonbc #vahfamily #chiropractic #massagetherapy #muscles #didyouknow #justmove #stretchmore

Core strength is critical to maintaining proper posture. The Bird-Dog is low impact and is one of the easiest exercises you can do to help develop your core muscles. Bird-Dog: Start on the ground on all fours looking down at the ground. Using your core, extend your left leg outwards while reaching your right arm forward. Slowly return to neutral, and repeat using the right leg and left arm. Continue alternating this movement being mindful that your low back does not arch and your head stays facing down. #Vah #VernonActiveHealth #VernonBC #VAHFamily #Vernon #Active #Health #stretching #strengthening #coremuscles #corework #birddog #neckpain #lowbackpain

Spinal Decompression Therapy involves stretching the spine, using a traction table or similar motorized device, with the goal of relieving back pain and/or leg pain. This procedure is called non-surgical decompression therapy (as opposed to surgical spinal decompression, such as laminectomy and microdiscectomy). This pattern of alternating pulling and relaxing creates vacuum-like pressure which allows disc material that was herniated or protruded to be pulled back into the di...sc. It also helps promote the movement (pull) of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs so they can heal. Wondering if this may be an option for you?

Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons why people come to see Chiropractors. There is a lot of research today that shows chiropractic treatment is one of the best treatments for lower back pain. Computers have caused a lot of problems and back pain is one of them because we sit all day. The body is meant to move and when it doesnt move, that causes problems as your spine gets all jammed up, your pelvis and your lower back go out of alignment and this causes pain.... Chiropractic treatments allow you to get those areas moving again! Lower back pain isnt just caused by injuries as posture and lifestyle are major factors as well. To start getting relief, pick up the phone and call Vernon Active Health now at +1 250-545-2468 . . . #vernonactivehealth #vahfamily #vernonactivehealth #chiropractic #massagetherapy #acupuncture #counseling #bcchiro #vernonbc #servicesprovided #wellnessclinic

I am by no means a complete model of health if you were to look at my diet and lifestyle, but then again how many people are? Very few people can eat really healthy all day, every day. Most of us are trying to create healthy eating habits and it is a lot easier if you make it a part of your daily life. What I do is stay on a conscious level everyday about what goes into my mouth. A few things that I do: >> Eat smaller portions of sweets... >> Dish smaller portions >> Start the day with a smoothie >> adding as many different veggies as I can to my meals I would love to hear what you do to stay on track with your healthy eating.

There are many types of knee injury, the most common being sprains and strains. You may have injured the meniscus, or you may have an arthritis pain and its coming from the knee. Maybe it was a fall or a twisted knee, or its located on one side. Thats going to tell me a lot about the injury and where it is and then Ill go on and to create mobility and treat as necessary. A lot of people dont think that chiropractors can treat knee injuries they just think of physiother...apy or going to the gym and doing strength training. By working on the soft tissue structures; the ligaments, the joints, the muscles, and the joint capsule around the knee, it will help create mobility within the knee because a lot of the time the knee is just fixated and and its not moving properly within the joint. Simply working on the soft tissue of the knee joint and getting it adjusted and manipulated relieves a lot of pain.

Many people are afraid of needles and would never consider using them to heal themselves. A lot of people today dont even know what acupuncture is. Acupuncture points are seen as places where nerves, muscles, and connective tissue can be stimulated. It involves the insertion of sterile, hair-like needles on specific points along energetic pathways (or meridians) of the body to affect circulation and bring oxygen to organs and tissues. This in turn decreases pains significan...tly and relaxes the body while promoting healing and soothing areas of tension and inflammation.

Thank you for your kind words! ... Vernon Active Health helps keep me going in my own equine/people bodywork practice and my active life! The staff are all helpful and amazing, from front desk to the practitioners that I see on a regular basis.

My body works hard in my career and also has had a few accidents in the past! I also see He...len for Craniosacral sessions, which have greatly helped my nervous system calm and my hips and pelvis loosen up, (I left the session with Helen with no pain in my arthritic hip for days) and I also highly recommend acupuncture with Deb, last winter she helped me immensely when I was feeling great fatigue and shoulder and arm pain.

Could you be suffering from TECH NECK?! ... Studies show that adults spend roughly five hours a day looking down at their mobile phones. Add in time spent on a laptop, tablet, or looking at smart watches, and youve most likely got a real pain in the neck- known as Tech (or Text) Neck! ... The average adult head weighs only 10-12 pounds in its neutral position, but when your head tilts downwards the strain on your neck dramatically increases. Some estimates say looking strai...ght down at your mobile phone can put an additional 50-60 pounds of pressure on your neck! ... The next time you are staring at your phone, pay close attention to your posture. Most likely your shoulders hunch forward, your back slouches, and your chin tilts outwards contributing to unwanted strain on your muscles, discs, and joints.

Have you ever hurt your ankle working out, or walking, or wearing shoes that were the wrong fit? Most likely you answered yes and you probably know exactly the injury we are talking about. A sprained ankle. Even though it is one of the most common injuries do you know what happens when you sprain your ankle? .. A sprained ankle is when when the ligaments in your ankle tear or get stretched too much. This can happen by coming down too hard from a jump, or even by just simply s...tepping off a curb the wrong way! Although most minor ankle sprains can heal on their own, but if you want to give your ankle the best ability to fully heal properly, a proper course of treatment and guidance on how to take care of it at home, is highly recommended! .. Approximately 100,000 Canadians suffer ankle sprains annually. That is 274 Canadians every day! . . . #VernonActiveHealth #VAH #Vernon #Health #Active #Wellness #Healthy #VAHFamily #VernonBC #SprainedAnkle #Injury #Pain See more
