Here's a posture check you can do before your coffee's ready.

Stand with your back against a wall, heels touching it. Stand tall and look straight ahead. Then notice the four points: do your heels, hips, shoulder blades, and the back of your head all touch?

If your head only reaches the wall when you tip your chin up, that can be a sign of forward head posture. It's common, especially with phones and laptops, and it's not a diagnosis. Think of it as a reason to look closer.

Want a proper check? Ask about postural analysis with Dr. Edward Johns. Call 941-933-1500 or request an appointment: https://www.nrchiropractic.com/contact

Back pain in pregnancy is common. Your body is carrying more and changing fast, and your lower back often feels it first.

So is a chiropractor safe while you're pregnant? Usually, yes, when care is adapted for pregnancy, which often means side-lying positions, pillow support, and no pressure on the bump. We always suggest checking with your OB-GYN or midwife first, especially in a high-risk pregnancy.

Can it help? It can ease pregnancy-related low back and pelvic pain. Studies so far are small but encouraging, and care works best alongside gentle movement.

Please call your OB or midwife right away if you have bleeding, sudden pelvic pain, leaking fluid, a severe headache or sudden swelling, or your baby moving less.

Feeling fine after a car accident is common. It isn't the same as being fine.

Whiplash happens when the head is forced back and then forward, or the reverse, and soft-tissue injuries like this don't always hurt right away. That's why we tell people to come in as soon as reasonably possible. An evaluation can catch what you can't feel yet, and we'll explain what we find.

Your care is then built around what we find, and it may combine adjustments, traction and physiotherapy. Exam findings and any imaging are documented, so your insurer or attorney can request them.

Kids, parents, grandparents. One practice can look after all of them.

Dr. Edward Johns treats patients from newborns to the elderly, right here in Parrish, and the adjustment changes with the person: gentle for kids and grandparents, firmer for an athlete who wants it. The approach doesn't. We listen. We assess. Then we explain what we find before anything happens.

Wondering whether to bring your teenager, your parents, or yourself? Bring all of them.

Hear "laser" and you probably picture a film set. It's a lot quieter than that.

Class IV laser therapy is concentrated light from a small handheld device, passed over the area being treated for a few minutes. It's non-invasive. Most people feel mild warmth. That's it. There's no downtime, so you can head straight back to work.

It's usually part of a plan alongside adjustments or rehab, and it may help with things like joint stiffness or local inflammation. Not sure it's for you? Ask Dr. Edward Johns. You'll get a straight answer.
