Your mattress is imperative to a good night's sleep. And a good night's sleep is imperative to good health.

😳If your mattress isn't supporting your body properly, you're spending nearly a third of your life in a position that may be contributing to stiffness, discomfort, and poor sleep quality. Read our most recent blog post to learn more 👇

Do you know that you are putting your spine and joints at risk every time you are dehydrated? If you are dehydrated, your body has to find hydration somewhere and begins to pull it out of some of your joints. Dehydration also prevents proper nutrients from entering the discs – the shock absorbers of your spine.

Do you experience shoulder pain? Are you unable to pinpoint why?

We regularly talk to people who say the pain seemed to appear "out of nowhere". One day they were carrying groceries or lifting a bag, and the next day their shoulder felt tight, weak, or painful when reaching overhead. What makes shoulder pain annoying is it interferes with many aspects of daily life.

When you carry heavy objects, such as groceries or bags or children, the shoulder muscles work harder to stabilize the joint. Over time, if the muscles are weak, this will cause the joint to move inefficiently and cause irritation. Most people choose rest to fix this problem. While rest can provide temporary relief, it lacks the long term solution.

At 33/18 Chiropractic, we focus on providing proper movement and strength. We also make sure the shoulder joint is moving properly with the neck, upper back and shoulder blade. When the spine and surrounding joints move more freely, the shoulder often experiences less strain during lifting and reaching.

Pain is NOT normal. We focus on finding the source of your pain. We get to and fix the root of the problem without surgery.

💥 Just because it pops doesn't mean it's fixed.

We've all done it...

Twisted in a chair.
Stretched a little too far.
Asked a friend to "walk on our back."

And sure, it might feel good for a few minutes.

But cracking your own back is not the same as a professional chiropractic adjustment.

A professional adjustment is specific, intentional, and designed to improve how your body functions; not just create a popping sound.
