This Is How You Squat

This Is How You Squat

Did you know a squat is an important functional movement because we all squat during daily activities like sitting, getting off the toilet, or bending to pick something up?  A properly executed squat is critical to your overall low back health because of its ability to strengthen the thighs, hips, glutes, and core.  It can improve your balance, flexibility, and help you maintain your independence. 

This Is How You Squat

Using a resistance band adds more loads to a regular squat and allows for greater muscle activation.  Depending on your fitness level, choose a band that provides challenging resistance, allowing you to maintain proper form without your knees turning inward. 

Jenny Sweat, Legacy Clinic’s Corrective Trainer, recommends the following steps to correctly perform a squat movement using a resistance band:

RESISTANCE BAND SQUAT:

1) Stand with your feet slightly more than hip-width apart with a band just above your knees.  Your toes are pointed forward or slightly outward with your hands on your hips or in front of you.

2) Grip the floor with your toes and press your heels into the floor.  This helps to engage your glutes/buttocks more and maintain better balance. 

3) Slowly push your hips back into a sitting position while bending your knees, keeping your knees behind your toes.  You can lower yourself until your knees are at a 45 to 90-degree angle. 

3) Breathe in and hold the position for 2-3 seconds, then breathe out and slowly lift back up into the starting position, pushing through your toes and heels.  Slowly stand up while pulling your belly button in towards your spine and focusing on squeezing your glutes/buttocks. 

Perform 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps every other day.

Jenny Sweat is a Corrective Trainer at Legacy Clinic. She has over 30 years of experience and holds a master’s degree in exercise science. Her focus is to provide specific training and exercises to help your body function better.

Shoulder Joint Prolozone Treatment In The Villages

shoulder-pain

The shoulders are one of the most moveable joints in the body. Over time the joint wears away. It would be nice if we could spray some WD-40 on the shoulder to keep it moving properly, but our bodies do not respond to that. Luckily there is a break through treatment for arthritis, joint pain, and tendon injuries. Legacy Clinic, in The Villages, offers Prolozone injections by Dr. Aaron Perry. Dr. Perry is an expert in the oriental medicine field and has helped train several doctors at Acu-Ozone certification classes.

Ozone joint Therapy is a natural, non-surgical, minimally invasive, regenerative therapy used for many kinds of joint pain or injury. Due to the nature of ozone, it can work synergistically with the body, providing nutrition and oxygen supply to a particular area or joint. Ozone joint therapy consists of two phases. The first is adding proper nutrients so the injured area (i.e. vertebra, ligament, tendon, muscle, connective tissue, joint space, etc.) by injecting a solution of liquid vitamins, minerals, and homeopathic. This aids in anti-inflammation to reduce swelling and increases circulation. And finally, the area is infiltrated with oxygen in the form of ozone. A special concentration is generated depending on the condition of a medical-grade longevity ozone generator. Over the next few days, the ozone gas will work by oxidizing the injected site, increasing red blood cell production, an improving intake of oxygen, This will result in an increase in cellular and healing activity at the injected site resulting in a reduction of pain.

If you are looking for a natural treatment for joint pain, back pain, arthritis, rotator cuff injuries, tendon injuries, ligament injuries, or muscle injuries; contact Legacy Clinic in The Villages for your consultation. Legacy Clinic is located in the heart of The Villages, FL featuring chiropractors, doctors of oriental medicine, massage therapists, and trainers.

Treat Disc Herniations With Spinal Decompression

Disc Herniations

There are 24 moveable vertebras in the spine with 23 vertebral disc that are between the vertebras. The disc have a couple of functions that consist mostly of providing as a shock absorber and flexibility. It also keeps the space open where the spinal nerves exit that are between each vertebra. These nerves can travel to each cell, muscle, and organ in the body. 

The spinal discs are under a lot of load each day from sitting, standing, bending, twisting, and lifting. This extra force and pressure on the disc cause the intervertebral discs to degenerate, thin, narrow, bulge, herniate, or protrude. When the disc space is decreased, the canal where the nerves come out also narrows. This can but pressure on the nerves that exit the spine. One of the most common nerves that exit the low back is the sciatica nerve. The sciatica nerve is made up of nerve roots from L4-S3. Wear and tear on the lumbar spine can easily narrow the lumbar disc space abs put unbearable pressure on the nerves that make up the sciatica nerve.

Treatment options for Disc Herniation:
1. Spinal decompression to open the disc space 
2. Corrective training to restore the lumbar curves
3. Medical options consisting of pain management

Acupuncture needles size? / Acupuncture in The Villages

Acupuncture needles size

The size of acupuncture needles usually used have a diameter of 0.2 mm, in other words they are tiny. The needles are about the same thickness as an eyebrow hair.

Acupuncture needles are inserted into the skin to stimulate tissue and stimulation points. Most acupuncture points lie on the meridians; the points referred to as trigger points, can lie alongside the meridians. Acupuncture points are stimulated in acupuncture through various puncturing techniques to bring the body back into balance.

In traditional acupuncture, the needles are inserted into the skin or further into the tissue depending on the procedure and skin area. To stimulate the acupuncture point, the needles can be gently turned, lifted, lowered or even tapped. This form of treatment is possible with almost all types of needle.

The Importance Of Stimulating Your Adrenal Glands With Chiropractic!!

Chiropractor in The Villages

In honor of September being the birth month of Chiropractic, I wanted to take a moment and focus on one vertebra and that you should always have adjusted in order to stimulate your immune system.

Your ninth thoracic vertebrae (T9) are the most important vertebrae I can stimulate if a patient walks in my door with a decreased immune system or is feeling under the weather. Symptoms of a decreased immune system can include brain fog, craving sweets or salty snacks, having a decreased sex drive, depression, difficulty getting over an illness, fatigue for no reason, inability to get restful sleep, inability to think clearly, insomnia, low energy especially in the morning, muscle and bone loss, muscular weakness and poor memory. All of these symptoms listed can be the result of a decreased immune system. One way to boost the immune system neurologically is to directly stimulate the adrenal glands in the body. Adrenal glands help your body deal with stress. When adrenal glands are under chronic or excessive stress in the body they can fatigue which directly decreases the immune system. Adrenal fatigue is very common in society today and one of the most under diagnosed and under-treated clinical conditions. By getting a chiropractic adjustment on T9 we are able to directly stimulate the adrenal glands and improve immune system function in the body.

So if you are feeling tired, low on energy, and run down it is time to visit the Doctors of Legacy Clinic to get your ninth thoracic vertebrae adjusted in order to stimulate your adrenal glands and instantly boost your immune system

Trap and Neck Strain Pain

neck pain
neck pain

Many athletes, fitness gurus, or people doing manual labor can easily subluxate or misalign vertebras. One thing we often see is athletes that may have injuries to a shoulder and the body will recruit other muscles to get the shoulder and rotator cuff moving. Other muscles are used to assist when lifting, throwing, pushing, pulling, rowing, and other shoulder motions. When recruitment of other muscles around the shoulder happens, it can easily subluxate the scapula and upper ribs, resulting in a strained muscle of the trap, neck, or shoulder.

Most people have difficulty turning their necks and have deep or sharp pain in the trap muscle. It is extremely painful and you want relief quickly. Usually, muscle relaxers are prescribed, which may temporarily provide relief and may result in a deeper muscle strain when the medication wears off. This is subluxation is often misdiagnosed by many doctors and is easily corrected by the Chiropractors at Legacy Clinic in The Villages. This is fixed fast in relief is felt after the first treatment. Many patients are amazed that they can go back to exercise or training without any limitations.

The Trapezius muscle originates at the occipital and the C7-T12 vertebrae. It inserts at the posterior border of the clavicle, acromion process, scapula. Trap pain can travel anywhere in this large muscle when a subluxation occurs from a misalignment. 

The Chiropractors at Legacy Clinic see golfers, polo players, pickleball players, dragon boaters, and other athletes that have this trapezius pain. It is even seen in people who overuse the arm from pairing or someone who took a fall. It is often misdiagnosed and treated as neck pain. The trap spasm gets worse with activity, exercise, and massage. The worsening spasm results in people seeking strong muscle relaxers or steroid injections. This scapula/rib misalignment can easily be fixed with a specific adjustment done by stretching the lower cervical and manipulating the misaligned scapula. When this is set, you immediately feel the tension, pulling, and spasm of the trap muscle release.

If you are experiencing trap pain, scapula pain, or lower neck pain, let the chiropractors at Legacy Clinic evaluate you.

Eliminate Allergies NOW

engystol

Fall allergies are at their peak from August through October and they can be a real issue if you live in central Florida. The key culprits are the tiny, airborne pollen grains that come off trees, weeds, and grasses. During this time of the year, ragweed is rampant all over Florida and is a prime cause of allergies. Wind-blown ragweed allergens can travel for hundreds of miles. Just one plant produces more than one billion grains of pollen per season. Pollen and mold are hard to avoid when you want to go outside and play, but there are a number of ways to alleviate allergy symptoms. When you have an allergy, your body produces a histamine reaction that can include running nose, sinusitis, and/or stuffy nose. It is your body’s natural defense mechanism when exposed to these foreign particles. Over-the-counter medications are targeted to turn off the histamine receptor for a few hours and provide temporary relief. Check out below on how to eliminate that histamine reaction. 

Legacy Clinic in The Villages Top Allergy Remedies:
1.Antronex – supplant protocol 
2.Engystol injections 

Antronex is a supplement that works by removing the histamine in your body that is caused by the allergen. Antronex contains yakriton which is a liver fat extract discovered by Japanese researchers that are used to support the body’s normal detoxification mechanisms. Yakriton was first discovered in 1926 and has been studied for years. Basically, the way it helps with congestion from allergies and asthma is by helping the liver function more efficiently in producing histamines. When you have an irritation or allergy, your body produces histamines, which can cause various symptoms one main symptom being congestion or runny nose. It is your body’s natural defense, but sometimes our bodies go into overdrive or our liver gets clogged with toxins. Pharmaceutical decongestants dry up and completely block all these things from happening for a few hours but Antronex helps your body by toning down the flood of histamines and regulating your body Engystol is an outstanding homeopathic injection that can be used to prevent flu and can also be used to help allergies. This homeopathic formula has been shown to act as an anti-inflammatory of the mucous membranes, which are heavily affected during histamine reactions. Engystol is indicated for immune system support to reduce the severity and duration of symptoms in viral infections. It stimulates the body’s initial defense mechanisms. It contains the natural ingredients Swallowwort and Sulfur. Swallowwort, has an anti-inflammatory and supporting effect on the immune system. The sulfur acts against the inflammation of the mucus membranes. 

If you are suffering from allergies and want natural and fast results, contact Legacy Clinic in The Villages, FL at 352-259-0024 for your allergy relief.

Top Secret Exercise For Back Pain

Back Pain

Did you know that most daily activities and sports put a lot of stress on your SI joint? The SI joint is the joint that is made up of the sacrum and ilium. We have one on each side of the spine and they easily move with walking, bending, twisting, and lifting. The joint is the cause of most low back pain and is the insertion point for most of the lumbar muscles. When the joint misaligns, the lumbar muscles will tighten up and cause limitation in twisting, bending, and lifting. Therefore, limiting full motion for golfers and pickle ball players.

Multiple core muscles work together to produce maximum stability in the abdominal and lumbar back region supporting the SI joint. Weak stomach or core muscles can throw off spinal alignment, balance, and place a strain on the back.

Jenny Sweat, our corrective exercise trainer has an awesome exercise to help strengthen the core and stabilize the SI joint. This exercise is called SI Joint Reset. All you need is a broom stick/handle.

Lying on your bed or the floor with a broom stick, put the broom stick under one knee and bring the other leg up ready to push into the stick. Take a deep breath and as you exhale, pull your belly button in towards your spine, press your spine against the floor or bed, and push one leg into the stick while the other leg is pushing down on the stick in the opposite direction. Exhale and hold for 8-10 seconds. This is an isometric contraction so you will not feel or see much movement.

You can then move the stick under the other knee and repeat, pushing the legs in opposing directions. Remember to exhale, draw your belly button in towards your spine and your spine into the floor/bed while you push your legs in opposing directions against the stick for 8-10 seconds.

Strengthen your core and reset your SI joint with this one simple and cool exercise. You can do this exercise daily or several times a week.
