Asheville Chiropractic Blog

Last month in our Blog, we addressed common injuries for gardeners, and this month we continue with another significant issue for our patients: Forward Head Posture. At Monitto Chiropractic, we've noticed a significant rise in patients suffering from what's commonly called "Tech Neck" or Forward Head Posture (FHP), a condition directly linked to our modern technology use habits.

As spring and summer bring Western North Carolina's landscapes to life, many of us eagerly return to our gardens. Gardening offers numerous benefits - connecting with nature, physical activity, and the joy of growing your own plants and vegetables. However, the repetitive motions and prolonged positions involved in gardening can take a significant toll on your body if proper precautions aren't taken.

In our ongoing mission to improve the quality of life for those in Asheville and beyond, we’ve embraced a variety of chiropractic techniques. One area of growing interest is the Y-strap adjustment – a method compared to traditional chiropractic adjustments for its ability to address back pain and improve overall spinal function. 

Spring in Western North Carolina is a breathtaking season. The mountains come alive with vibrant colors as flora bursts into bloom. Trees release their pollen, wildflowers carpet the landscape, and the region transforms into a natural paradise. But for many residents and visitors, this beautiful awakening brings a less welcome companion: spring allergies.

While the mountains of Western North Carolina offer some of the most diverse plant life in the country, they also present unique challenges for allergy sufferers. If you're among the thousands who struggle with seasonal allergies in our region, you're likely already dreading the itchy eyes, runny nose, and persistent fatigue that accompany spring's arrival.

But what if there was a natural approach that could help alleviate these symptoms without the side effects of medication?

Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition that causes pain and discomfort in the heel and arch of the foot. Many people suffering from this condition seek effective, non-invasive treatments that go beyond temporary pain relief. 

Chiropractic care offers a holistic approach to treating plantar fasciitis, addressing the underlying causes to promote long-term healing and improved foot health. In this blog, we'll explore how chiropractic treatment can alleviate plantar fasciitis and why it might be the right choice for you.
