Treatments for Swimmer's Shoulder

If your shoulder feels stiff, weak, or painful after time in the pool, you may be dealing with swimmer’s shoulder—a common overuse injury caused by repetitive overhead motions. A sore shoulder from swimming can quickly interfere with both your performance and your day-to-day comfort, but the good news is that there are natural, effective ways to treat it. At Healthy Life Chiropractic in Newnan, we offer a variety of services that can help reduce inflammation, restore mobility, and relieve pain, including cold laser therapy, chiropractic adjustments, massage, HBOT, and more.

How to Stay Hydrated This Summer

The importance of staying hydrated goes far beyond quenching your thirst—it supports energy, digestion, circulation, and even the health of your joints and skin. If you’ve noticed signs that you might not be drinking enough water—like fatigue, dry skin, or headaches—it’s time to prioritize hydration. Let’s explore some easy, effective tips for how to stay hydrated all summer long and learn how Functional Nutritional Response Testing can support your health and wellness.

Try Massage to Correct Bad Posture

Poor posture doesn’t just make you look slouched or tired—it can lead to long-term discomfort, reduced mobility, and even joint dysfunction. The good news is that in addition to being relaxing, deep-tissue massage can play a significant role in helping correct bad posture, relieve muscle tension, and restore balance to your musculoskeletal system. If you’ve noticed tight shoulders, a forward head position, or lower back stiffness, massage therapy may be the missing piece in your posture-improvement plan.

Traveling Pain-Free While Pregnant

Summer adventures don’t have to stop just because you’re expecting. In fact, with the right planning and support, traveling while pregnant can still be enjoyable—especially when you take steps to care for your body along the way. Long car rides can increase tension and discomfort during pregnancy, but with regular stretching, a supportive sitting posture, and chiropractic care before and after your trip, you can help keep neck, back, and hip pain in check.

Heat or Ice for Back Injuries & Pain

When it comes to back injuries and pain, the debate often boils down to one question: heat or ice? Both have their merits, but knowing when and how to use them can make all the difference in your recovery. Whether you're nursing a recent injury from lifting too much at the gym or dealing with chronic discomfort from a condition like disc degeneration, understanding how to synthesize heat and ice to your benefit can help you recover and get back to doing what you love.

Supplements to Improve Your Sex Drive

Sexual wellness is a key part of overall health, yet many men and women don’t talk about it until they notice a drop in libido or energy. Whether it’s due to stress, hormonal imbalances, poor nutrition, or fatigue, a low sex drive can affect confidence, relationships, and quality of life. The good news is that targeted nutritional support can help.

What Toxins Release After an Adjustment?

One question we sometimes hear from new patients is, “Why do I sometimes feel worse before I feel better after an adjustment?” The answer often lies in what we call toxic release—a completely natural and temporary process that occurs as your body begins to heal and rebalance. Let’s explore what toxins are released during a chiropractic adjustment and why the symptoms of toxic release, while sometimes unpleasant, are a strong sign that your treatment is working as it should.

Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it can also bring some physical discomforts that make everyday life more challenging. As your body changes to accommodate your growing baby, you may experience everything from pelvic pressure to postural shifts and—most commonly—back aches during pregnancy. While these symptoms are normal, they don’t have to be something you just "put up with." More and more women are turning to prenatal chiropractic care as a natural, drug-free way to find relief and support a healthier pregnancy. Let’s explore the benefits of chiropractic care for moms-to-be.

The Truth About Toxic Release

If you’re new to chiropractic care, you’ve probably spent some time preparing yourself for your first visit. If so, you may have heard of toxic release. After your first chiropractic adjustment, you may experience slight cold or flu-like symptoms. It’s not because the chiropractic practice did something wrong or because your treatment was counterintuitive. The symptoms of toxic release can be concerning, but the truth is that it’s not something to be worried about.

Cold & Hot Stone Massage for Stress

Are you feeling tense lately? Cold and hot stone massage can help you loosen up, relax, and release the stress and anxiety you’ve been carrying around. These two unique types of massage therapy are among the best we offer for stress relief, and either or both are well worth trying if you want to let that weight off your shoulders and unwind. 

No Fooling: Try Chiropractic for Pain

If you think that temporary solutions for chronic back pain are enough, you’re only fooling yourself. Chiropractic care can provide lasting relief from issues like a bulging disc by addressing the problem at the root, correcting it, and promoting continued healing. When it comes to helping you be free from back pain, chiropractic adjustments are no joke.

Functional Response Testing for Kids

Functional Response Testing can significantly enhance your child’s health, helping them overcome common childhood illnesses and even pay better attention in school. FRT helps identify how specific foods impact a child's body, revealing any nutritional deficiencies that may cause issues like reduced attention span or irritability. By understanding these unique responses, you’ll be better able to make decisions about your child’s dietary needs, and our experts can recommend a custom nutrition program to help them be their best.

Can Massage Help You Get Better Sleep?

Many people are searching for ways to get better sleep, especially after the time change, but the solutions aren’t always straightforward. Massage therapy may be able to help. Regular massages promote relaxation while helping decrease stress levels, making it easier for you to get the rest you need and deserve. If you’re having trouble falling asleep, you might be surprised how much of a difference a massage can make. 

Patient Reviews

"Very pleased with the practice. The service is excellent and everyone seems to truly care about you as a person first. Most businesses see customers or money walking in, but these practitioners love what they do. It shows."

- Patty Uzar

"I've been with Healthy Life for many years. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The services offered are very beneficial to my wellness routine. I receive massages and adjustments regularly. They offer many packages and sales that makes it affordable for me. I have recently tried the hyperbaric chamber for both recovery and general health. This is has been really helpful since I exercise often and intensely. I have also noticed an improvement in my brain fog which comes from normal aging and day to day stress. Dr. Rob and Dr. Tina are very good chiropractors who make sure they are providing a complete wellness exam and service. I continue to maintain a healthy body and recover quickly from my day to day activities. Overall, I would recommend Healthy Life Chiropractic."

- Rachelle Prevost

"I absolutely love Healthy Life! The staff is wonderful and helpful! The doctors are amazing! I hurt my back a few months ago exercising, and nothing seemed to help! I went in for a routine visit, and explained. I was consistent with my adjustments, muscle stim and massage and within a few weeks, I am back to exercising without pain! I am a Flight Attendant, so closing overhead bins and pushing a heavy cart are necessary for my job, so I appreciate them keeping my healthy and not missing work! My foot levelers are a game changer! The best investment!

My update yesterday validated what my body told me! I am back to almost 100% You will love them!"

- Melissa Beach

"I am very grateful for the care I receive from the entire staff and doctors at HLC! They are very attentive to my specific health, well-being, and pain relief needs. I take advantage of the fact that I can go for chiropractic care, massage, therapy, supplements, pain relief, and more. It’s great to enter the practice and know that I will be treated like family."

- Jan Tardie

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

- Erica Payne

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

- Cindy Chaisson

“The online store is wonderful. It is very convenient for those busy and always on the go. I love all the purchase options. From supplements to oils and even honey can be purchased from your computer or smart phone. I look forward to a search option becoming available as there are so many products offered.”

–Vermillion Himes

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"
