Did you know obesity is a chronic disease? 🤔

Obesity is classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "a chronic, relapsing disease arising from complex interactions between genetics, neurobiology, eating behaviors, access to healthy diet, market forces, and the broader environment." With this chronic disease impacting over 40% of the US population, we wanted to make sure to include it in our Chronic Disease Awareness Month lineup.

➡️ Does chiropractic work like a weight loss pill? Hard no. What chiropractic can do for obesity is serve a supportive role throughout the treatment process. A body goes through a lot during weight gain and weight loss; a large part of it involves our bodies relearning and adapting to mechanical changes. We are here to help with the aches and pains that come with those mechanical changes with adjustments that help increase range of motion and mobility. Aside from adjustments, we also offer nutrition guidance, exercise programs, and lifestyle education to optimize the whole process 🙌

Impairment in movement function stands out as a typical characteristic in cases of scoliosis.

What is scoliosis?
➡️ Scoliosis is defined as a lateral (side-to-side) curvature of the spine, which can take on a C or S shape when viewed from behind. While many cases are mild and do not cause significant symptoms, more severe cases can lead to discomfort, pain, and postural issues. It is most commonly diagnosed during adolescence, although it can occur at any age.
