Road Trip Advice From Your Chiropractor

As we move into summer and start looking at taking some long road trips it is important to evaluate our sitting posture and try to minimize the amount of stress that we put on our backs. 

For starters when we are sitting it puts 3 times the amount of pressure into the low back compared to when we are standing, thus the importance of making regular stops to get up, move around, and stretch a bit.

How to Avoid Back Injuries

Avoiding back injuries - how to lift and bend properlyPhoto credit: Back Mechanic by Stuart McGill, PhD
As the weather warms up and we start to increase our outdoor activities such as gardening and spring cleaning we want to be mindful of our body movements so we can reduce the likelihood of injury.  We have usually heard plenty about bend and lift from your knees and not your back but less so about the importance of minimizing how we twist our backs.  Simply bending forward with only our body weight creates around 700 pounds of compressive force on the low back.  If we are bent forward and twist that force will be shifted more to one side of the spine instead of being evenly distributed, this increases the potential for injury.  One of the most common joints we see injured in these cases is the facet joints in the low back (lumbosacral region) followed by sacroiliac joints (where the bones of the pelvis meet).  Additionally, excessive repetitive twisting like this can start to injure the discs in the area potentially leading to a more severe injury with a longer recovery time.

Welcome Dr. Jamie Staton

Dr. Jamie Staton
​Vallejo Chiropractic is excited to announce the addition of Jamie Staton, DC, to the practice. Dr. Staton received her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose, California. 
 
She is accepting new chiropractic patients in our Vallejo location on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On Tuesday and Thursday mornings, she will be offering additional services: fire cupping, soft tissue massage, and Neuroemotional Technique (NET).
 
“As a healthcare provider, my intention is to spark the body’s own healing process whether it is physical or emotional,” said Dr. Staton. “Along with chiropractic manual adjustments, I use other techniques including Activator, fire cupping, and soft tissue massage. I am also a believer that emotional stress can manifest as muscle tension and other physical forms. I practice Neuroemotional Technique (NET) to help patients identify underlying emotional patterns that are causing chronic pain.”
 
A native of the SF Bay area, Dr. Staton enjoyed competitive cheerleading growing up and endured multiple injuries. Through these experiences, she became fascinated by the world of Sports Medicine, which led her to the University of California, Davis. During her time at Davis, she participated in the Athletic Training program working with the football and women’s soccer teams. After receiving her B.S. in Exercise Biology, she decided to further her career and become a sports chiropractor.
 
Currently a resident of Benicia, Dr. Staton is an avid runner and has completed multiple marathons and triathlons across the country. 
 
“Dr. Kunsman and I are thrilled to welcome Dr. Jamie to our practice,” said Dr. John Harrington. “She brings with her all of the newest research available, thanks to her recent studies, along with a fresh new perspective for our existing patients.”

COVID-19 Update

Vallejo Chiropractic and AmCan Chiropractic
At Vallejo Chiropractic and American Canyon Chiropractic, we remain open at this time.

This update pertains to our safety and sanitation procedures for those visiting us during the Covid-19 outbreak.

First, we have taken steps minimize patient and staff's potential exposure,  And we will continue to do so as directed by the board of chiropractic.

For the past few weeks, we have been scheduling patients with additional time spacing in mind so that no more than 1 or 2 patients are in the waiting room at the same time. This also allows for the recommended 6' social distancing. We have also increased patient appointment times. This provides us the opportunity to do a thorough wipe down of each treatment room following each patient.

We have provided hand sanitizer at the front desk near each computer and are asking all patients to use the sanitizer before touching the computer screens when checking in.

Additionally we are doing an hourly surface sanitation wipe down of the entire office We are complying with the recommendations of the board of chiropractic examiners, CDC, and World Health Organization (WHO). We believe these steps are necessary and appropriate. We also believe these steps are sufficient in order to provide for a healthy and safe environment for everyone.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any concerns about visiting our offices in Vallejo or American Canyon. We hope everyone is staying healthy and safe.

To your health,
Drs Harrington & Kunsman

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep Apnea overview
Sleep apnea is a breathing-related sleep disorder that causes brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. These interruptions can last 10 seconds or more and can occur up to 400 times per night. Sleep apnea is a serious and potentially life threatening condition that often goes unrecognized and undiagnosed. Sleep apnea occurs in both sexes and across all age groups. Not all sleep apnea is the same, a diagnosis of sleep apnea can range from mild to severe. 

Sleep apnea is serious because shots of adrenaline are going into the heart 20-400 times per night to re-start your breathing. Sleep is when your body is supposed to rest, and this increased stress causes an overload for the heart, possibly leading to a heart attack or stroke. 

Some of the symptoms of sleep apnea are obvious (snoring, etc.) while some symptoms such as loss of sex drive and irritability may be less of a signal that something is interfering with sleep. Here is a list of some of the symptoms of sleep apnea:
  • loud snoring
  • morning headaches/nausea
  • gasping/choking while asleep
  • loss of sex drive/impotence
  • excessive daytime sleepiness
  • irritability/depression
  • disturbed sleep
  •  concentration difficulty/memory loss
  • excessive urination at night
  • restless leg syndrome

Ways to Improve Your Brain and Prevent Dementia and Alzheimer’s

We’ll get to the meat and potatoes of this first then I’ll tell the story behind this article and why I wanted to share it with as many people as I could.

A study was done over the course of 21 years to find out what were the best things people could do to reduce the risk of Dementia and Alzheimer’s. 21 years!!! It takes an incredible amount of effort and focus for me to sit down and finish a book but somehow these people had enough OCD tendencies to focus on one study for over two decades!

The study included senior citizens, 75 and older, and was led by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, it was funded by the National Institute on Aging, and was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. In other words, it’s good stuff.

The study wanted to see if any activity (physical or mental) benefited the brain long-term and potentially prevented the onset of Dementia and Alzheimer’s. Here were the 3 major things the study found to help you have a better brain:
