This is a great summary of a study done by Indiana University. Walking at work has been touted as a great way to normalize blood flow, decrease low back pain and increase morale in the workplace. This video sums everything up nicely from a walking study done by Indiana University. An increase in muscle activity thus creating better blood flow was shown to normalize arterial function in the body. If workers are allowed to sit for periods, blood tends to pool in the legs since muscles are not effectively helping circulation go back to the heart as talked about in this video from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Skipping the Warm-Up 2. Not Feeding Your Muscles After a Strenuous Workout 3. Concentrating on a Single Body Area and Using a Limited Range of Motion 4. Training Too Long and Too Frequently 5. Inadequate Sleep 6. Talking Too Much 7. Using Incorrect Form To read more about these seven workout mistakes, click here. Workouts and fitness are complimented well by chiropractic care and massage.

It's that time of year again--football season! At ChiroElite Chiropractic, we are big fans of our Green Bay Packers. Aaron Rodgers is also a huge fan of chiropractic. His father is actually a chiropractor in California, and Aaron attributes much of his success to the healthy lifestyle that chiropractic has provided him. “I am blessed that my dad is a chiropractor,” Rodgers said. “Getting adjusted regularly–along with practicing other good health habits that my mom helped me to establish–are all part of my goal to win in life and on the field.” His dad has been quoted as saying: "The structure of the human body, especially the spine and its relationship to function, can be impacted by the physical nature of accidents, falls, poor posture and injuries," -Dr. Rodgers Dr. Pellatt at ChiroElite treats every kind of athlete in the Chippewa Valley. Combining Active Release Technique (ART) with chiropractic adjustments greatly reduces muscle spasms and allows adjustments to last much longer.
