We teach you THIS… So you can do THAT without pain! 👩🏼‍🏫
➡️ Good Morning Edition

Parents and grandparents will spend a lot of time baby wearing as an effort to continue to get things done while keeping baby happy 👶🏼 Enter the good morning!

While this movement can be done with several different loading patterns, we often teach the plate hug variation to stimulate a loading in the front.

When bending forward with a load in the front of your body, there will be even more pressure pushing you to round forward through your mid to low back. Here are the points performance we teach for a good morning.
☀️ Start with feet under hips and knees softly bent
☀️ Keep rib cage stacked over pelvis (“stack your can”)
☀️ Hinge at the hips and drive your hips straight back while keeping can stacked
☀️ Squeeze glutes to return to standing

If you have have low back pain from baby wearing or bending down for activities around the house, or would just like to learn how to wear and move more optimally, come see us in the office! Link in bio to schedule with one of our docs 🔗

🗣️WHAT WE TREAT TUESDAY ➡️ Plantar Fasciitis 🦶🏻💥

Summer is typically a time we see an increase in foot and heel pain. More time barefoot, less supportive footwear, and increased activity can be a recipe for plantar fasciitis or other foot/heel diagnoses!

🦶🏻Pain on the bottom in the foot is generally lumped into a diagnosis of plantar fasciitis, but there are some specific requirements for a patient to be diagnosed with PF. Patients will present with pain, tenderness and even swelling at the attachment of the PF on the front aspect of the heel— especially the inner side of the heel.

🦶🏻Pain is generally increased in the morning, worse with standing/walking/running, improved with rest, and presents with tightness and tenderness in the muscles deep to the calf (the posterior compartment of the leg). Chronic presentation of PF can lead to heel spurs that are visible on Xrays. 

🦶🏻Treatment for PF at CSSC can include a combination of myofascial release, dry needling and/or cupping in addition to adjustments and personally prescribed rehab exercises. The main goal is to decrease inflammation locally and limit tension on surrounding muscles that contribute to the inflammation. Once pain, tenderness, and swelling is well controlled, we work with patients to strengthen the foot, posterior compartment of the leg, hips, and core to prevent future episodes of PF.

When a child turns their head to one side consistently it can lead to increased tension in the soft tissue of the neck. Neck tension can make latching during nursing very challenging for baby and very painful for mom. As we know, the first few weeks are imperative for establishing a healthy milk supply. Addressing this finding early can eliminate pain for mom, establish a healthy milk supply, and support a successful feeding relationship between mom and baby.

Head turn can also lead to unbalanced pressures on the skull. When a child always lays on one side, the growth of the skull is limited in this area during growth spurts. This limitation is a leading cause in plageocephaly of “flat head syndrome”. Addressing head turn and observing head shape from an early age can help to avoid the need for more aggressive interventions like a helmet.

Lastly, a head turn preference with muscle imbalances can delay important movement milestones like rolling over. If a child has marked muscle imbalances they will not initiate the important movement patterns to initiate this motion.

In addition to having 3 kids of their own, the docs have additional training from the ICPA in infant and pediatric adjusting. Let CSSC assist you and your family in the treatment and prevention of this issue so your family can thrive!

Have you ever seen someone on a treadmill in the gym or maybe a neighbor out on a stroll walking backwards and wondered what thats all about?? The docs at CSSC often prescribe backwards walking to patients to enhance knee stability and overall joint health, read below to learn why 👇🏻

The knee joint’s main job is to flex and extend. When going about our day, we do a lot of knee flexion (think walking, running, sitting, squatting), but not necessarily a lot of full range extension 🦵🏻 Backwards walking achieves terminal extension of the knee to move the joint in a different range of motion than it’s ‘normal.’ We often equate this to laying over a foam roller for your mid back. Other benefits include: strengthen quadriceps, lengthening hamstrings, stimulating mechanoreceptors and lubricating of all surfaces of the knee joint, balance, and coordination.

Want to give it a try? We suggest 5-10 minutes of backwards walking on a treadmill, outside, or even in your house. Try to focus on the toe-ball-heel pattern, exactly opposite of forward walking.

We teach you THIS... So you can do THAT without pain! 👩🏼‍🏫🪄 ➡️ Farmer’s Carry/Suitcase Carry Edition

Whether you’re toting around a car seat or carrying groceries in from the car, a single sided carry is a great challenge to your lateral core and can sometimes be irritating to your lower back. Enter the Farmer’s Carry and suitcase carry!

👨🏻‍🌾 Farmer’s Carries are a great full body exercise that trains core strength, lumbar stability, grip, and more! We like patients to practice the suitcase carry variant where the weight is loaded on one side only. This introduces another level of instability and requires even more core activation to find balance in the movement. 🧳

✨ Here are the points performance we teach for Farmer’s Carries
👨🏻‍🌾 Start by picking up your weight(s) with good deadlift form, meaning engaging your shoulder blade and using your legs to lift
👨🏻‍🌾 Once you have your weights in position, make sure to keep your shoulder blades pulled down and together to maintain space between your ears and your shoulders
👨🏻‍🌾 As you walk, keep your can stacked!! Make sure your hips and shoulders stay even and that you don’t lean to one side

If you have low back pain from single sided carrying or would just like to learn how to move more optimally, come see us in the office! Link in bio to schedule with one of our docs

When the docs treat patients using the flexion distraction table, the most common response we hear is “wow, I wish I had one of these at home.”

While that may not be realistic, here are some accessible (and cheaper) options for joint distraction, decompression, and low back relief to hold you over until your next visit!

Low back pain can be exacerbated by movements, postures, and muscle tension that (along with gravity) contribute to compression of the spine. The flexion distraction technique uses gravity to our advantage to get some decompression in the spine. Think of it like increasing the joint space between vertebrae to allow for improved blood flow. Another benefit to this technique is to give a break and a passive stretch to the lumbar paraspinal muscles, which work all day to keep us sitting and standing upright!

Try out these techniques at home or at the gym to decompress! Reach out to the office with any questions or to schedule your next visit 🙌🏻
