Is Your Back Pain Due To Dehydration?
You’ve heard it countless times before: stay hydrated!

On top of all that, dehydration could be the source of your back pain!
Is It Okay To Have Coffee?

The Key To Health!
For many years, the common belief was that you only go to the doctor when you’re sick. Now it is common practice to visit your primary care doctor for a yearly examination. Just as you maintain your health with a primary doctor and dentist, it is important to maintain regular chiropractic treatments. This is to stay well, not just relieve back pain.
Don't Skip Your Sunscreen!
Summer is in full swing, and Chicago is feeling the heat! No matter what time of year it is, dermatologists recommend protecting your skin.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, only 29.9% of women and 14.3% of men regularly slather on the SPF. Here’s what you should know.
Dive Into Summer!
Summer heat may be hard to beat, but it is the perfect time to enjoy the many benefits of swimming. Not only is it refreshing, but swimming is also a great workout. It puts very little stress on the back, is good for all ages, and is low impact. Even if you aren’t big on swimming laps, there are plenty of effective aquatic exercises. Here are some of the benefits of exercising in the water.

Practice Yoga & Chiropractic Care
When it comes to chiropractic care, most chiropractors will agree that it takes more than chiropractic alone to completely heal you and improve your overall quality of life.

When most think of exercise, they imagine heart-pumping aerobics like cardio, but the truth is that practices like yoga are great for the body. Here is how working yoga into your routine will support a healthy spine and body.
Heat or Ice?
If you have ever been injured from either a workout or even just moving the wrong way, you have probably wondered if you should reach for the heating pad or the ice pack.
