Have You Considered A Digital Detox?

Unless you are living out in the back country or on your own island, it can be pretty challenging to escape technology. No matter where you look, there it is! Technology certainly makes life easier in a lot of ways, but it can also consume a large amount of our time and lead to issues in our relationships and with our health. It doesn’t matter if your are tweeting, texting, gaming, or chatting, the seemingly innocent time spent on your phone can quickly lead to addictive behavior.

We understand it is nearly impossible to remove all technology in your life, and we know it is vital to many day-to-day tasks. What we’re suggesting is practicing a “technology timeout”. Here are our tips for a digital detox:

  1. Meal Time is Phone-Free. When you are enjoying a meal with family and friends, turn off the tablet or phone. Your focus should be on strengthening or developing critical bonds with those close to you, not on the latest Instagram update.  

  2. Turning Off Tech On Vacation. So you’re on vacation and you’re enjoying a beautiful meal or breathtaking views. Of course you reach for your phone to share with your social media followers. We suggest resisting the urge, so you can fully experience each wonderful moment of your well-deserved vacation and enjoy the time you have with the people you are with. You can always do a daily photo dump before bed. 

  3. Bedtime..For Your Phone? Having some trouble falling asleep? Try turning off your electronics (phone included!) at least one hour before going to bed. Blue lights from electronics trick your brain into staying awake, so you will most likely find that you have an easier time unwinding, leading to better sleep.

  4. Technology Timeout. Try to implement little changes in your routine so technology is taking less of your time. Maybe check your emails a few times less or silence your phone from work calls once you leave the office. Limit your time spent scrolling aimlessly through social media, and turn your phone off (or at least silence it) at a set time each night. This will encourage you to engage more with your surroundings, instead of what's happening in cyberspace.

  5. Technology-Free Fun. Have you ever considered how much time you lost on your phone or tablet? If not…there’s an app for that. Truthfully, when technology isn’t sucking away your time, you have the potential to get so much more done. Whether it’s finally getting to folding that laundry or spending quality time with friends and family or getting in a good workout, the options are endless!

Following these simple steps will help you be more present in the world around you, instead of the one in the palm of your hand. Digital detoxes nourish both your mind and body, leading to a healthier and happier you!

Patient Reviews

"My overall health has also improved because my allergies and my arthritis are also not as severe as they used to be. Dr. Stiles has always been very accommodating with her hours and appointments, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Over the years, I have recommended my sister, my best friend, my cousin and other friends to this office for chiropractic care."

-Anonymous

"Excellent patient care and a convenient location.  Dr. Stiles technique is gentle and effective.  The office staff is professional and flexible.  The office hours offer a wide array of times for busy working people.  I switched from a chiropractor that I loved for the location and have not lost anything in terms of service.  I highly recommend for pain management, maintenance and wellness services."

-Ruanda G.

"Not the typical doctors office.  Dr. Stiles & staff are friendly and are flexible with appointments. And my neck and my back feel great!"

-Kevin T.

"Dr. Stiles is very gentle and caring and helpful in explaining what was wrong with my neck and spine. She came up with a treatment plan for me for the next few months. I was re-examined a few weeks ago and showed a lot of improvement! All without surgery. I highly recommend this chiropractic office."

-Monique P.

"Everyone in the office is very nice and helpful. I started going to Dr. Stiles because I had vertigo for more than a year. My doctor just told me it would go away eventually and prescribed Dramamine (which just made me feel sick). I decided to try this method as a last effort to get rid of it and it's worked. I couldn't be happier with the results from my visits here. I would (and have) recommended her to friends and co-workers."

-Jennifer M.

"I've been seeing Dr. Stiles for the past 10 years and in that time, my sciatic nerve has stopped flaring up. I also have had no more middle ear infections or ringing in my ears. I first started going to Stiles Chiropractic for what I thought was the beginning of carpal tunnel syndrome, my wrists, hands and fingers were numb and tingling. After a few adjustments, I was feeling much better and have not had that issue since.

-Dee M.

"Dr. Stiles has been my chiropractor for almost a decade. Regular visits to Dr. Stiles help me prevent tension from escalating and causing severe, debilitating pain that I've had in the past. I used to "throw my back out" once or twice a year, resulting in my being unable to move for three or four days. With ongoing maintenance, I'm happy to say that that rarely happens anymore, and if it does, Dr. Stiles knows me well enough to help fix it right away."

-Cathy H.

"I see Dr Stiles every week for neck pain and she is amazing! She is very kind and responsive to her clients. Highly recommended."

-Samantha M.

"Dr. Stiles is stellar! I am a resident of Los Angeles and any time I'm in town this is my go to place for chiropractic. Dr. Stiles is very thorough and educated on every joint in the body. I feel at ease and in good hands and most importantly well-informed through our entire sessions. I always walk out feeling taller and poised with a healthy body!"

-Kaila H.

"Wonderful! Best Ever! – I have been to chiropractors throughout my life (good and bad ones) but I have had the best experience here with Dr. Tracey. She gave me a very detailed exam and took the time to go over my exam and explain a treatment plan that will help me feel better in the long run. And I am all about preventative maintenance! She also explained my adjustment so well, I didn't freak out. Her office is wonderful, Friendly and warm!!"
