什么是脊椎矫正疗法?

在当今快节奏的生活中,身体疼痛已成为普遍困扰。无论是久坐办公导致的颈部僵硬、日常劳损引发的腰背疼痛,还是反复发作的运动损伤,寻求有效缓解都至关重要。脊椎矫正疗法,正成为越来越多人选择的康复方式。

什么是脊椎矫正疗法?

脊椎矫正学是一门专注于肌肉骨骼系统诊断与治疗的医疗学科。它融合最新科研成果、临床经验和患者需求,制定个性化治疗方案。矫正医师通过手法调整(如脊柱矫正、软组织疗法)及定制康复训练,帮助恢复关节排列与活动度,减轻炎症,促进整体健康。

脊椎矫正如何缓解腰背疼痛?

腰背疼痛是该领域研究最深入的课题之一。矫正医师将脊柱手法治疗、运动康复及生活指导作为首选方案,经证实能够:
• 显著减轻疼痛程度与功能障碍
• 提升身体活动能力
• 减少对止痛药(包括阿片类药物)的依赖
临床研究显示:相比传统医疗,接受脊椎矫正的腰痛患者疼痛缓解更明显,功能改善更显著,治疗满意度更高。

颈椎问题的矫正方案

由不良体态、外伤或重复劳损引发的颈痛,同样是脊椎矫正医师最常处理的健康问题之一。通过:
• 专业手法松解深层肌肉紧张,调整受限关节,实现快速镇痛
• 进行针对性关节松动与活动度训练,逐步恢复颈椎正常功能
• 通过生物力学评估并调整体态,预防复发

运动损伤的康复支持

无论是业余运动爱好者还是专业运动员,都能通过脊椎矫正实现损伤修复与运动表现提升。这项非药物、非侵入性疗法针对运动损伤提供专业解决方案:
• 关节功能恢复:改善伤处灵活性
• 加速愈合:促进血液循环,控制炎症反应
• 提升柔韧性:定期调整维持最佳关节活动度
• 定制康复计划:针对性训练预防二次损伤
• 损伤预防:通过定期脊椎矫正,帮助保持身体结构平衡,实现最佳运动表现
常见治疗范围包括:扭伤、拉伤、肩部疼痛、膝关节问题等运动相关损伤。

Health Tips for Healthy Weight Loss

Delicious food may be tempting over the holiday season, but do try your best not to binge over meals. There are no miracle pills nor quick-fix solutions for weight loss.  A successful weight loss plan requires acceptance, willingness, patience and dedication. You want a weight loss strategy that is sustainable over the long-run. The truth is, you cannot out-exercise a poor diet. Your food and nutrition choices are the key factors toward building a healthy body and a slim waistline. Follow these 5 tips to help you jump-start your weight loss journey:

 

TIP #1: Begin each meal with a glass of water and aim to eat until you are 80% full. Don’t worry, you’ll have another chance to eat at your next meal.

 

TIP #2: Make it a routine to exercise at least 30 minutes, 3-5 times a week, with moderate intensity (enough to break a sweat). We often treat exercise as a burden, but it shouldn’t have to be that way.  You are making the best investment of a lifetime, which is your health.

 

TIP #3: Track your calorie in’s and out’s with a convenient smartphone app such as MyFitnessPal, Lose-It, or Lifesum. Knowing what you are consuming and expending will let you know how healthy your food budget is. It will also help you make the adjustments you’ll need to reach your fitness goals.

 

TIP #4: Eat less C.R.A.P.: Carbonated beverages, Refined sugars, Artificial additives/sweeteners, Processed foods.

 

TIP #5: Eat more F.O.O.D.: Fresh vegetables & fruits, Organic proteins, Omega-3 fatty acids, Drink more water.

 

 

Always consult with your primary care provider before taking anything that could potentially affect your health. Book an appointment with a Naturopathic Doctor to begin your weight-loss journey and learn how to stay fit for life.

Ergonomic Tips

In our current society, more and more people are working at deskjobs. Although these jobs are mostly sedentary, there are inherent stressors that can lead injuries. Here is a brief overview of some physical stressors and ergonomics adjustments that can reduce your chances of developing injuries.

  • Wrist injuries: If you do a lot of computer typing or mousing, you are at risk of developing repetitive stress to your wrist muscles and tendons. To decrease the stress, try to keep your wrist neutral while typing or mousing. If you type or mouse with an angle to your wrist, you place extra stress on your wrist tendons. Some support at the wrist may help with keeping your wrist neutral if you have a high keyboard but be sure to not have constant pressure on your wrist all day.
  • Back injuries: Sitting can actually be more stressful for your back than standing. If you sit a lot during the day, be sure you have an adjustable ergonomic chair with good lumbar support. Your low back has a natural curve (concave) that is often reserved when sitting (convex or “slouching”) without good support. This can lead to increased stress on your back muscles and joints. If you have a good chair with lumbar support, make sure you sit back and support that natural curve to reduce stress.  If you do not have good lumbar support, try to find support with a different chair or back rolls. Also, be sure to take microbreaks every 30 mins. Stand up, stretch and then back to work!
  • Neck injuries: This is particularly important if you work on a laptop or multiple computer screens. Your neck is designed to sit on the vertebrate (neck bones) without leaning forward or turned for extended period of time. Often that is the case when working on computers. Our heads lean forward or turn to the side and place a lot of stress on the muscles and joints in our neck.  To reduce this, try to keep your main computer screen at eye level. If you use more screens, completely turn your whole body if you are working more than 5 mins on that screen. If you are using laptop for more than 30 mins, try to get an extra keyboard so you can place the laptop screen at eye level.

I hope these tips help with reducing your physical stress at work. If you have more ergonomic questions or if you are already feeling symptoms of pain at work, be sure to visit an healthcare professional at Form and Function. We can help relief your pain and address any other ergonomics questions or issues that you may have.
