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.

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.
