CCRC Coffee Chats

Episode 11: Arthritis

Arthritis is a broad diagnosis that is often inappropriately ascribed as causing one's pain. In this coffee chat we discuss the different types of arthritis and how (if at all) it affects your pain. #CCRCCoffeeChat

Episode 10: How do you know you're training hard enough?

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. #CCRC

Episode 9: Did you know we treat more than the spine?

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. #CCRC #CCRCPodcast

Episode 9: Proper Bracing

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.
