Exercise is important. There is no question about it. But you need to be exercising with a certain intensity and volume to get results, no matter the goal. If you train too easy, you don't get the results you are looking for. If you train too hard, you increase your risk of injury.

So how do you know you're training hard enough and what are some guidelines we can all live by to ensure that our exercise is as effective as it is safe?

In today's episode, Dr. Ulm and Dr. Muse cover all these questions and more.

As chiropractors, we treat the spine, and I would say with all humility that we do it well. What many of you may not know, however, is that we also treat non-spine conditions such as shoulder impingement, ITB issues in runners, or even carpal tunnel.

In this episode, Dr. Muse and Dr. Ulm discuss how our approach at CCRC applies to conditions outside of the spine.

Also, huge congratulations to Dr. Muse who passed a post-doctoral examination. He is now a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP). More letters he can put after his name.

Bracing is a conscious effort to stiffen the spine. We all do it; typically when we lift up something heavy. Not all bracing strategies are equally effective nor equally safe. In this episode, Dr. Ulm and Dr. Muse discuss a common compensatory stabilizing strategy called the Extension/Compression Stabilizing Strategy and proper stabilization.

This episode is good for anyone experiencing lower back pain or who lifts weights on a regular basis.

Surgery is a treatment option often necessary in the rehab process. Surgery, however, comes with significant consequences. For this reason, it is important to ensure that surgery is your only option you've got left. The best way to be certain is by exhausting conservative options.

In this episode, Dr. Ulm and Dr. Muse discuss when surgery should be considered and how you can guarantee that it is the right option for you.

Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization or DNS is one of the primary therapies each of the physicians here at CCRC uses. It is an approach to rehabilitation that involves both assessment and exercise. It is incredibly powerful and one of the reasons we have the success that we do with out patients.

Joint manipulation is a powerful treatment option for a lot more than just chronic lower back pain. In this episode we discuss what is going on when you get your back "cracked".
