ADAPTATION – The 5th Posture Principle
Over the last month, I have been blogging about the Posture Principles: Motion, Balance, Patterns, and Compensation. Now we have reached the 5th Principle: Adaptation. Adaptation is the body’s response to stressors. Our bodies are very efficient in coming up with strategies to avoid pain and stress. Unfortunately, while we may be able to avoid pain in the short-term, we have unconsciously entered the Pain Cycle. Remaining in the Pain Cycle by continuously adapting to pain leads to: (1) compromised movement, (2) “shifting” of the body’s loads, (3) repetitive stress, and (4) further injury. Once you have reached step (4), you are immediately thrown back into step (1)….and so on and so on.
The good news is this: MOTION breaks the pain cycle!
To move out of the Pain Cycle and into the Motion Cycle, a great first step is an Aligned Strong Posture. Posture training leads to balanced motion. Balanced motion means freely-moving joints, ligaments and muscles. It is “youthful” motion! With freer, more youthful motion comes the ability to effectively exercise. Exercising while maintaining a strong core maximizes the health benefits and helps prevent injuries. Training your core muscles helps to keep your body stabilized, and results in a stronger posture….leading to balanced motion, effective exercise, trained and coordinated core muscles…and so on and so on!
We often hear people say, “Use it or Lose it”. With posture training, you CAN “Use it to KEEP it”!
Because of the great response to Posture Month at Overland Chiropractic, we have extended it into the middle of June. We are offering our patients, their families, and their friends a Free Posture Photo Analysis. Please call our office at 913-345-9247 to claim this offer for yourself and a loved one. Why put off living better and aging well? Let’s begin, together, today!

Pregnant women commonly develop low back or pelvic pain, especially toward the end of their pregnancy. New mothers may also experience discomfort resulting from newborn care-giving that may strain their backs. Chiropractic care is often effective in helping to treat pregnant and recently-pregnant women.
During pregnancy and after delivery, a woman undergoes changes that stress her back. The most obvious change during pregnancy is the increased size and weight of her abdomen. As her baby grows, her center of gravity shifts, and her changed posture may stress her spine and pelvis. A less obvious change is her body’s release of a hormone called “relaxin.” This hormone relaxes ligaments in order for the pelvis to spread more easily during delivery. This can change the way the joints move and can lead to pain in the back, pelvis, pubic bone and hips.
Following delivery, a new mom will be doing all kinds of activities that put mechanical stress on her body. Leaning over the crib and changing table loads the spine. Lifting a baby-carrier or placing the baby in a car seat, lifting and unfolding a stroller, carrying a heavy diaper bag on one shoulder, and even nursing or bottle-feeding can cause strain and injury.
At the same time, she is adjusting to hormone changes, lack of sleep, and increased family responsibilities. These things further stress her body and make it more difficult for her to recover from her pain.
At our office, we can treat pregnant women all the way up through delivery and into the months after delivery. During pregnancy, spinal adjustments improve joint motion and help to relieve or manage pain.

A big thank you to lowerbackchronicpain.com for featuring Overland Park Chiropractor Dr. Patterson for his treatments on Barbara Lockwood to help relieve her back pain.
Barbara Lockwood, of Marceline Mo., was bed-ridden from severe back pain for four and a half years.
She felt like she had run out of options to cure her pain. “I’ve had physical therapy, I’ve had epidurals and nothing has worked,” Lockwood said.
Watch Barbara Lockwood discuss how Dr. Patterson’s treatments helped to relieve years of discomfort.
Through an article in the Kansas City Star, Lockwood learned about Dr. Robert Patterson of Overland Chiropractic. She went in for a free consultation and he performed a cat scan. Dr. Patterson firmly believed he could help Barbara with her pain. She began going to Overland Chiropractic five days a week for treatment and he delivered just what he had promised.
Lockwood remembers beginning to feel the relief of her back pain within the first week of treatment, until it was eventually nonexistent. “It was a miracle. I feel good, I’ve got my life back and I don’t have the pain,” she said.

Overland Park Chiropractor Dr. Robert Patterson was recently featured on carpaltunnelsyndromezone.com for his treatment of wrist pain.
Watch Sherri Rinne discuss how she was able to avoid carpal tunnel surgery by receiving chiropractic treatments from Dr. Robert Patterson of Overland Chiropractic.
“I was having some wrist problems about ten years ago and it was to the point where I couldn’t type and couldn’t even have enough strength to hold a manila file folder,” explained Sherri.
After Sherri received her initial adjustment from Dr. Patterson to treat her carpal tunnel syndrome, she was amazed that she had immediate relief. She had a grip and strength in her hand, which she had not had for a few weeks prior to the adjustment.
Sherri had no down time and was able to return to work the next day and was actually able to do her job. She continues to see Dr. Patterson for minor adjustments and he also treats her back. Dr. Patterson has also taught Sherri exercises to help strengthen her back and wrists.
“I just love Dr. Patterson! He is fabulous; he talks to me; he listens to me; his staff is amazing and I would recommend him to anyone,” said Sherri.

Spinal decompression tables have been around in various forms for many years. Currently, I am one of only three doctors certified in Cox Flexion Distraction in the State of Kansas. This form of spinal manipulation uses decompression of the spine, but it is quite unique compared to other decompression tables.
Let’s look at some differences between the different types of traction devices. With traditional traction tables, the patient lies on their back. A belt or harness is placed around the ribs and a second belt is placed around the pelvis or hips. A percentage of your body weight is calculated, which determines the amount of force with which the table is going to pull. These tables pull straight out (axial distraction). There is no control over which vertebrae move. New tables such as the IDD and DRX9000 tables work on a similar principle. One of the main differences I see in these newer tables is their ability to pull at an additional angle. The idea is that they are going to try to isolate a particular vertebra. The problem is, no one actually has their hand on your spine to know if the vertebra they are trying to isolate really moves, and if it does, how much it moves.
Cox Flexion Distraction manipulation has many advantages over these other tables. The first advantage is that it allows me to be much more specific in isolating each vertebra. While the patient lies on their stomach, I place my hand one at a time on the individual vertebra. While blocking this vertebra with my hand, I manually bend the bottom of the table down until I feel that specific joint separate. This allows me to apply just the right amount of decompression to that vertebra. I can then move to the next joint and decompress it. Different joints require different amounts of decompression due to the varying degrees of arthritis, muscle activity and inflammation at each joint. Another advantage to Cox manipulation is that I can move each joint through all of its normal motions while it is decompressed. Most decompression tables only allow one motion, while a Cox table allows me to introduce flexion, extension, side to side bending, circumduction, rotation, and axial distraction.
People usually want to know if decompression with a Cox table is covered by their insurance. If your insurance plan covers spinal manipulation adjustments, then the answer is yes. This is taught and recognized as a form of manipulation because it is a “hands on,” skilled procedure. Other tables only require a technician or assistant to set you up on the table. Medicare, does not cover the IDD and DRX9000, but will cover Cox Flexion Distraction.

For those of you with teenage daughters or granddaughters, I thought you might find this article interesting. We normally think of exercise as a benefit for our children’s physical health. This study indicates that it may have some real benefits for their long term mental health as well. I would encourage your kids to exercise whether they are boys or girls.
People who are physically active appear to be at lower risk for cognitive impairment late in life, and for women, a new study suggests, physical activity during the teenage years may provide the greatest benefit.
The study used data about 9,395 women 65 and older, most of them white, who participated in a multicenter study of osteoporotic fractures. They were asked whether they had been physically active on a regular basis during their teenage years and at ages 30, 50 and later. Their cognitive function was also assessed.

Have you ever thought about starting a running program but didn’t know where to start? If you have never run before, I recommend that you start out with more of a walking/jogging program. It takes time to build up your body. Don’t be so impatient that you hurt yourself. Patients frequently tell me “no pain, no gain.” For the most part, I do not subscribe to this theory. Your body has a pain mechanism for a reason. Learn to differentiate between the normal fatigue/discomfort of exercise and pain that leads to injury.
Recently, my wife decided that she wanted to set a goal of running in a 5K event, which is just over 3 miles. She has walked off and on over the years, but has never done any running. She began researching various programs for beginners and settled on the “Couch to 5k.” This is designed for people who have been couch potatoes and begins to turn them into runners over a 9 week period. I have been working with her for the past three weeks and have found it to be a very sensible program. The first week you don’t run for more than 1 minute at any given time before walking again. Each week the training becomes progressively harder. If you need to spread it out and repeat some of the training weeks, it is perfectly fine.
I want to give you a few tips before getting started:
1. Buy properly-fitting shoes that are designed for running. The first thing I did for my wife was take her down to a local running store to get new shoes. If you have read my previous blogs, you will find that good foot mechanics and proper shoes are a recurring theme in preventing all kinds of injuries. If you have had previous injuries, such as plantar fasciitis or shin splints, you may consider getting fitted for custom orthotics before buying shoes.
2. Buy a heart rate monitor. There are many different monitors on the market. After doing some research, I opted to purchase a monitor with a chest strap that sends the information wirelessly to a wrist band. They seem to be more accurate than those that take your pulse from the wrist. There are additional features available such as monitoring your target heart rate and your maximum heart rate, and then giving you an average heart rate over your walk/run. It has been a great tool to keep my wife within safe parameters during the training sessions. She also records each session on the computer and has already begun to see her maximum heart rate dropping. Seeing measurable improvement gives her encouragement and motivation to continue.
3. Buy a stopwatch. I purchased a cheap stopwatch for around $10. Over the course of “couch to 5K”, you walk and run at variable intervals. Using a stopwatch makes this an easy task.
If you would like more information on the “Couch to 5K” program, you can go to coolrunning.com for more information. For questions regarding orthotics or injuries, call our office at 913-345-9247.

Following delivery, a new mom will be doing all kinds of activities that put mechanical stress on her body. Leaning over the crib and changing table loads the spine. Lifting a baby-carrier or placing the baby in a car seat, lifting and unfolding a stroller, carrying a heavy diaper bag on one shoulder, and even nursing or bottle-feeding can cause strain and injury.
