Tips to Protect Your Spine This Holiday - Dr. Langmaid featured on Studio10 Live
Just last week, I was able to be featured on Studio10 Live morning show giving holiday travel tips to the people of Tampa Bay.
We focused on the items below-
Check your posture. Remember all of those times your mother told you to sit up straight with your feet on the ground? Well, believe it or not, she was actually teaching you a very valuable lesson in posture, one that could mean the difference between bliss and pain for your back. When traveling make sure that you are sitting upright with your knees at no greater than a 90-degree angle.
Embrace heat. Whether you are traveling, visiting a friend, shopping or just roaming around the house, heat therapy can help reduce your chronic back pain. Consider getting the heating pads that adhere to your body to help with inflammation. You can remove or reposition them at any time.
Stretch it out. Take some time to walk around and stretch your legs and arms once every hour. Getting up to walk around and stretch can do wonders when you’re trying to avoid a flare-up of your chronic pain on a cross-country flight. That’s because stretching increases blood flow, elongates muscles to promote flexibility and can keep your back and leg muscles limber, all of which can help prevent your chronic back pain from turning your flight into a nightmare.
Make sure you pack smart. Though not having to wait in the baggage claim line may seem like a good idea before you are trucking your luggage from one end of the airport to the other, carrying around heavy bags will do more damage than good to your back. Make sure any luggage you have to carry for a prolonged amount of time is a manageable weight, or on wheels.
Wear the right shoes. Traveling is not high fashion, and the runways at the airport are for planes — not heels. Choose shoes that provide good arch support and comfort this season, and your back will thank you.
Just rest. If your baggage allows, bring along a pillow for extra neck support while you dream away your stress.

PREVENTION magazine is a "sensation" in the health care world. It garners 2-3 million unique visitors each and every month and creates a lot of influence with its readers for healthcare decision making.
I was fortunate to be included in a fantastic piece titled, "6 Things Chiropractors Can Help with- and What They Can't".
This piece touches on back pain, headaches, pregnancy care, as well as blood pressure and digestive issues.
This article, in a leading publication, is a huge "win" for Chiropractic and shines an extremely favorable light on what we are doing each and every day in practice. Enjoy, share, and let me know what you think!

Chiropractic Care in the NFL
The NFL and Chiropractic Care
The National Football league is a tough place to make a living. Many athletes last less than 4 years as a professional, and the competition is fierce. Everyone is looking for advantage to perform at the highest level. What do you think some of these “advantages” are- Healthy eating? A top notch trainer? What if I told you chiropractic care has been essential part of the “secret sauce” that many future NFL Hall of Famers are using to get a competitive advantage!
As a matter of fact, this is not a very big secret for those in know. Every NFL has a chiropractor on staff, and periodicals such as USA Today have written pieces regarding the relationship between chiropractic care and the NFL. The truth is that these athletes are using chiropractic care for rehabilitation from injuries, possible prevention of future injuries, as well as for achieving top performance. The chiropractic adjustment has been shown to directly interact with the central nervous system. It can reduce pain, decrease muscle spasm, reduce intra-discal pressure, amongst a host of other positive effects.
The best thing about chiropractic care is that you don’t need to be a professional athlete to experience its powerful benefits. Whether you are professional athlete looking for top performance or a weekend warrior looking to stay active..

Effective Chiropractic Patient Communication
We live in a world where access to email, twitter, instagram, Facebook, and google have become a part of our everyday communication. This has given all of us unparalleled access to our patients lives and made it easier than ever to communicate with them. In a perfect world we are able to put out a message through a single channel and it automatically delivers this message to every patient in our audience with a single click. Unfortunately, you may have noticed this is not exactly how things work out!
Often our lives are so consumed with technology that messages and communications can lost in the shuffle of our feed, or in the case of Facebook; may only reach 1/1000 of your audience! Targeted ads can be complex and surprising expensive if you are not familiar with their intricacies. And how on earth are you able to send patient birthday messages and re-activation notices? Surprisingly, best choice for birthdays, holidays, and reactivations are our traditional print cards.
Look, I know a lot of chiropractic postcards look dated, tacky, and probably don’t position your office in a way you are proud of. That is why I recently developed a new set of Patient Communication Cards to provide a modern touch to a classic message. Whether its a birthday, holiday, or you are going through your patient database quarterly to send re-activation reminders, I have you covered. Our card are elegant, modern, and affordable.
In the day and age of our modern technology it actually is a HUGE advantage to send out personalized, signed cards to your patients.
It won’t get routed to their spam folder or lost in some algorithm of pay ads. By sending a card you are taking a stand and making a personal connection with your patients which they are sure to appreciate.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to check out our Patient Communication Cards then I encourage you to do so right here. As a special limited time offer you can also get 10% of your order by using the coupon code ‘chiropractor’ at checkout. All of the elegance, modern design, and timeless message you have come to expect from The Evidence Based Chiropractor.
