Easy tips for a good back health

HOUSTON – Quick back check. How are you sitting right now? If you find that you are slouching, Dr. Philip Cordova says this is a sign, “something is wrong.” If your spine is working as it should be then you will want to be sitting with good posture.

If you find that your posture needs improvement, Dr. Philip Cordova and Dr. Natalie Cordova can help.

“It is things that we do repeatedly or things that we do for long periods” that tend to cause the most problems said Dr. Philip Cordova. The way we sit at our computer, or hang our purse off one shoulder, or constantly look down at our smart phone can throw our bodies off balance. “Your body deals with it. It adapts to it. But, there are consequences,” said Dr. Natalie Cordova.

However, you do not have to suffer the consequences.

Dr. Natalie Cordova and Dr. Philip Cordova, chiropractic husband and wife team, are co-authors of the book “Better Posture Fast.” With two Houston-based clinics called Core Chiropractic they and their team are ready to help you find the good posture that may have been alluding you.

Good back health goes beyond the external benefits of having good posture. “Our backs are very important because of the nervous system. All of the nerves have to go from the brain through our spine to be able to coordinate our arms, our legs, and also our heart, our stomach, our digestive system,” explained Dr. Natalie Cordova.

A point of difference at Core Chiropracts is they do x-rays before adjustments. This is not a common practice at most clinics.

“Most people have never seen their how their spine looks on x-ray so they are basing how healthy their back is by if their have pain or not,” said Dr. Philip Cordova.

Do yourself and your back favor for Back Health Day, Core Chiropractic has a special offer for Houston Life viewers. New patients get a consultation, exam, x-ray, first treatment, and a copy of “better posture fast,” all for just $37.
