Easy stretch for your chest to help with rounded shoulders and back pain
Do you have neck pain, shoulder pain, numbness, or tingling down your arms?
This exercise could help.
This is the pectoralis doorway stretch. We suggest you do both arms and you can do one arm at a time or you can do them together. We hold all stretches for 30 seconds in an uncomfortable position, but not a painful position. The pec or chest muscles have 3 different angles of muscle fibers, so we must stretch at a 90-degree angle, as well as a 45-degree angle upward and downward.
How to relieve arch and foot pain with a lacrosse ball or frozen water bottle
Foot pain is a pain in the ** FOOT ** ! 😉
This video gives you some great options to help you to stretch your arch of your foot and your plantar fascia. When you find a sore spot, add some pressure to the area to release the tension.
You can do this with a lacrosse ball or yoga tune up ball, or even a frozen water bottle.

Lumbar flexion exercise to help with recovering from back pain
In this video, I show you the lumbar flexion exercise that really helped me after I was recovering from a low back injury many years ago.
This exercise I show is a more advanced exercise, as I am doing it with weights. So please only do this if you are capable and start without weights to see how it feels before progressing. This is standing lumbar flexion. Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart and in good posture with shoulders back and head up, and slowly bend forward at the waist, moving each spinal segment individually from your neck all the way down to your tailbone. Reach your hands down towards your feet as far as you can comfortably go without pain, and hold this position for two to three seconds and with your arms hanging. You can add a bit of a slow sway if it feels good. Then, do the opposite and slowly raise up, spinal segment by segment, and return to the starting position.
If you are performing the low back flexion exercise and the symptoms worsen, you feel severe pain or pain down your legs, STOP the exercise and seek expert advice.

Are Chiropractic adjustments safe? Do they hurt?
People ask me … do Chiropractic adjustments hurt?
Are they safe?
Should I get adjusted?
Yes, Chiropractic is safe and effective! I wouldn’t get myself adjusted every week, or adjust or recommend to get adjusted to those I love the most, if I didn’t think that the benefits far outweigh the risks.

Drop adjustments for severe low back pain
Are you concerned about the “pop” you hear during a manual adjustment?
Although a manual adjustment is very safe and the right move for the right population, there are alternatives.
At Campbell Chiropractic Centre, we offer DROP adjustments that are safe and effective.
No pops or clicks, but all the results.
