Posture Health

Dr Chris shows posture exercises

Good posture health is extremely important. Poor posture can lead to pain and could lead to degeneration of the spine over time. Rounded shoulders posture describes the appearance of shoulders that are further forward than normal. People who have rounded shoulders often also have forward head position and increased slouching of the upper back.

As you can imagine poor posture health causes enormous stress on the neck and shoulders. This can lead to: neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, sleep disorders, and numbness among other things.

Some common causes for rounded shoulders include: sitting for extended periods in front of a computer, reading or texting on the phone with your head down, driving for extended periods of time in a bad posture, sleeping with poor posture, excessive weight training, cycling in poor posture and carrying heavy backpacks.

At Legacy Clinic, we want to help. A great exercise to help train your body is the doorway exercise. No need to go out and buy any equipment so long as you have a doorway! We encourage our patients to complete this 3-5 times a week. This easy exercise will help loosen the abs and chest muscles.

How to do it:

Stand in the doorway and align your hands and elbows with the door frame.

Posture Health

Step through the doorway until you feel the stretch.

Hold this position for 15-20 seconds, then return to the starting position.

Repeat this stretch 3 times.

If you’re suffering from rounded shoulders or think your posture could use some correcting, contact Legacy Clinic today and let them show you the proper ways to realign your body.

Legacy Cinic of Chiropractic is a comprehensive chiropractic practice that provides services to The Villages, FL and focuses on improving the health of each client.

Titleist Golf Chiropractor

Dr. Chris Kessler D.C.
Dr. Chris Kessler, doctor of chiropractic in The Villages, FL.

Dr. Chris Kessler is a Titleist Performance Institute certified doctor and The Villages Golf Team’s go to chiropractor.

Dr Chris has been helping patients in the Villages area for years and many of them have come to him for help improving their game. Through a variety of techniques, Dr. Chris has been able to help golfers relieve pain, correct posture and improve their swings. Aside from being certified through Titleist, he is also an avid golfer.

Titleist Cerified

Some patients need work on their foundations. Not their golf foundations, but their body’s foundations. Our feet are more important than most people realize and the tiniest shifts can make a world of difference. Dr. Chris is certified through the Foot Levelers company to get you custom fit orthotics which can restore balance to your whole frame. These orthotics are different than the ones you find in stores because they are specific to your feet. They also take in to account all 3 arches in your feet to ensure the best support.

Another way Dr. Chris is able to help his patients is through chiropractic care. By adjusting and maintaining a healthy spine, patients often have less pain in general and can swing through more thoroughly. The pain relief alone is worth coming in, but imagine being able to fully swing the club where you couldn’t before. How many yards would that add to your drive?

In addition, Dr. Chris teaches his patients proper posture and swing techniques to keep them enjoying the game they love. Swinging the club without proper posture may not hurt the first time, but repetitive stress on the spine and other joints can lead to very painful degeneration.

If you want to improve your game, come and see the Titleist Golf Chiropractor in The Villages. Call Legacy Clinic today to schedule an appointment and see what Dr. Chris can do for you.

Decompression For The Spine in The Villages

Legacy Clinic The Villages
Legacy Clinic of Chiropractic | Acupuncture | Massage

Looking for decompression for the spine in The Villages?

Many people are unfamiliar with what exactly decompression for the spine in The Villages is. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression uses a specialized table that gently pulls the two vertebrae on either side of the affected disc. This allows bulging material to be drawn from the nerve and back into the disc, allowing it to heal naturally over time. Advanced technology creates a gentle, pain-free treatment that avoids the muscle spasm or guarding reflex that is commonly triggered with traditional rudimentary traction or inversion devices.

Spinal decompression

Is decompression painful?

Most patients find spinal decompression to be very relaxing and it’s not uncommon to fall asleep during the procedure. The gentle pulling and releasing motion can be very soothing and having the pressure relieved from your nerves can put you into a very relaxed state. Although results can vary, many of our patients report a reduction in pain after the first few sessions. Typically, there is a significant improvement by the second or third week of treatment.

Is decompression effective?

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is a breakthrough, FDA cleared procedure that takes the pressure off bulging, herniated, or degenerative discs, allowing them to rehydrate and heal. This often relieves pinching on the nerves and reduces pain. The best part is that decompression helps to heal the injured areas, rather than just managing (or masking) the pain.
The treatment is non-invasive, pain-free, and drug-free. There are no needles or anesthesia and it can be completed in just a few weeks. It is considered a viable and reliable alternative to surgery in many cases. Thousands of patients are treated every day using this procedure.

What is it good for?

Bulging or herniated discs may begin to pinch the delicate spinal nerves, causing sciatica, stenosis, or radiculopathy. This can result in debilitating back or neck pain, as well as numbness, or weakness. Many desperate patients turn to prescription pain pills, invasive spinal injections, and even back or neck surgery, trying to find relief.
“In many cases, those traditional treatments fail because they do not address the cause of the problem, and instead focus on covering up the pain,” states Dr. Theeck. “This can leave patients frustrated and without hope, as they face the possibility of endless medications, injections, and surgeries.”

Are you suffering? Are you considering surgery? Are you considering decompression of the spine? Contact Legacy today to get a free consultation and see what they can do!

Back pain in The Villages

Spinal Care

Many people suffer from back pain of one degree to another.

10’s of BILLIONS of dollars are spent each year managing pain relief and back care, but until recently, little focus has been spent on chiropractic care. With a strong push to progressively keep ourselves healthy through diet and exercise, chiropractic adjustments have gained notice for their therapeutic benefits. Spinal manipulation has been shown to decrease pain and stress levels among many other things. It has also been shown to increase blood flow, improve joint mobility and boost your immune system naturally to name just a few of the myriad of benefits.

The question is; why do we keep spending hard earned money to siomply manage the pain? Why not treat the underlying cause and get RID of the pain? Because chiropractic care is still relatively new to the general public, some might see it as unproven. Others think it will require too much work on their part.

Chiropractic care is and has been a proven method for treating pain and has been around for much longer than people realize. Dr. Palmer gave the first chiropractic adjustment in 1895!

Treating your body well IS part of being well. Sometimes medicines are what we need, other times they simply mask what’s really going on. If you think treating your body right is too much trouble, think about this:

The doctors at Legacy Clinic want you to be your best self and live your best life, offering a variety of treatment options from chiropractic adjustments to weight loss to acupuncture and massage. Whatever your health needs, you can almost certainly find them at Legacy!

Spinal Surgery in The Villages, FL side effects

Spinal Care

Spinal Surgery In The Villages, FL

Before you commit to a major operation that is irreversible, why not let the doctors at Legacy Clinic take a look at your condition and see if they can help you? Spinal surgery has it’s place and time, but often there are alternative and more effective ways of treating back or neck pain. The doctors at Legacy Clinic have had many patients who have come to them after hearing from the surgeon that the ONLY way to fix their problem was to go under the knife. After a few weeks with the doctors, they were pain free and able to enjoy their lives again. All that with no scarring, no heavy narcotics and no huge screws in their spines.

Even cosmetic or “routine” surgeries come with risks, but spinal surgeries carry extra risks due to the fact that your spinal cord helps to control most of the functions our bodies perform. It is possible to do more damage than was already done. Some of the possible risks include: Infection, blood clots, dural tears, leakage of cerebrospinal fluid, facial sores, loss of vision, nerve injury, paralysis and death. While not all of these are common complications with spinal surgery they are definitely worth considering. To get a more in depth look at the risks involved, follow this link – Lumbar Decompression Surgery Risks

If you’re thinking of having spinal surgery in The Villages or surrounding areas and you want to get a second opinion, this is the best place to start. With a free consultation, you have nothing to lose!

If you’ve been told that you need surgery or are just contemplating your options, include Legacy Clinic. Consultations are free and no obligation. Contact us today for more information at:
