Strack Chiropractic Wellness Center

Find yourself a Chiropractor that can do both. Our pregnancy table broke in the office yesterday and Dr. Kenny repaired it with some handy woodworking skills #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #woodworking

If you’re a frequent flyer when it comes to sinus fullness, congestion, or infection, this blog is for you!

#StrackChiropractic Swag is here and ready for you to start repping it. We have a small order of these trucker snap backs. They fit very well and keep their form. We are selling these for $20. So make sure you comment below or send a private message to reserve your hat today.

Instead of applying downward pressure, like a massage, Active Release Technique or a chiropractic adjustment, the suction lifts the skin and tissue upward. By doing this, it encourages proper blood flow, relieves pain and can even remove toxins. What do the colors mean? Pink = New injury Purple = older injury... Dark Purple = illness or injury that has been there for a considerable amount of time. Green = medications or toxins from chemicals White = poor blood flow #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #healthylifestyle #Cupping

I love the story that the cups tell. This patient comes in with a 24 hour old injury (and a history of chronic low back pain). And look at the marks. The marks closer to his head show us that his injury is already healing really well because he has been staying on top of his maintenance care! I am truly having a great time learning even more about how to body works with these cups! Slide in the dms and request to try them out!! #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga

Dr. Kenny is now offering cupping to his patients. This is a new therapy for us and we are trying to incorporate it into our treatments as often as we can. It is a great decompression type therapy that is pain free and helps blood circulation and healing. This is a high school baseball player with shoulder pain. He got off the table and did pain free push-ups! If you are interested, pop in the DMs.

With the start of 2021, we hope you’ll set the goal to become a healthier version of you - one movement at a time. Learn how you can minimize back pain just by tweaking how you sit and stand!

Merry Christmas from Dr. Kenny and his family!

SCWC has partnered with Cherokee County DFCS again this 2020 Holiday season to help bring Christmas Gifts to boys and girls. We still have several ornaments left on our tree with a need or want for one of these boys or girls. The gifts will be picked up from our office next Wednesday, December 16th.

Some humor for your Tuesday afternoon. This is one thing that you will not hear Dr. Kenny prescribe. Icing injuries is an out dated therapy and has not been proven to reduce inflammation by itself. Have any questions, shoot us a dm and we will be happy to answer! #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #healthylifestyle

Tough win for River Ridge tonight. It was great to see some patients outside of the office #StrackChiropractic @theridgeboysbasketball

SCWC has once again partnered with Edward Jone’s and Cherokee County DFCS to sponsor children for the 2020 Holiday Season. You can select an ornament with a boy or girls gift info listed on the back from the Giving Tree in our office. Then bring the wrapped and tagged gift back to our office by 12:00pm on Wednesday December 16, 2020

No one wants to spend time immobilized especially during the holiday season. Learn why you should make an appointment as soon as an injury happens instead of waiting weeks to get it checked out!

I got my candles today! I couldn't pass up helping a friend and having the house smell like fall. Paul D Jr Hendrix Andee Hendrix #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga

Routine maintenance and preventive chiropractic care provide many benefits to your overall health. Read our latest blog to learn why you should invest in routine appointments!

There isn't a better feeling than a text like this Monday morning! This is after 1 treatment and some movement cues #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #MoveBetter

Dr. Kenny will be closed until 10 am. If your appointment is before that, stay home and be safe. We will call you to reschedule

I love when I get to see the whole family in the office. Keeping their immune systems working at their highest level is my biggest job during this pandemic. As much as Hayes loves to get adjusted, he loves Cars more #StrackChiropractic #chirokids #woodstockga #immunesupport

I had a patient tell me why it is so easy to refer other patients into the office and it was exactly what I want all of my patients to take away from my office. He said that I explain the injury very well and describe the steps to make it better. Fixing injuries is simple. Stabilize... Restore ROM Restore strength Mimic sport specific motions The reason that it is so easy to fix is because when I am doing ART, I know every structure that I am contacting. For an 11 your old patient with an ankle injury, I didn't treat her ankle. I treated the achilies, soles, gastrocnemius, anterior talo-fibular ligament, deltoid ligament, anterior retinaculum, flexor hallicus longus and brevis, peroneal muscles, and extensor digitorums. Stay tuned for an update on her injury later this week #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #activereleasetechnique

This is for all of my patients. My goal with everyone is to move better and prevent injuries. You cannot prevent every injury, but moving properly gives you the best chance #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #squatober

One of my patients @pauldhendrixjr needs our help! Read the flyer, donate plasma and follow him on all social media platforms. He is an awesome man and his videos track his progress while he goes through his adventure. I will be donating next week, if someone wants to come with me, then let's coordinate it! #WheresPauldo

Life is busy but your health can’t wait. Learn more about what makes Active Release so effective and then schedule your appointment with Dr. Kenny!

The internet can be an excellent resource for a great many things, but over the years, it has become an unwelcomed replacement for doctors, specialists, chiropractors, and other medical professionals as patients misdiagnose themselves left and right. One of the most patient-misdiagnosed problems is plantar fasciitis and often leads to people trying to treat their own pain with no success. Learn more in our most recent blog! #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga

Have you ever seen this chart? This is a spinal nerve chart. It describes that each level of the spine is responsible for. When you decide to come into Dr. Kenny for Tennis Elbow, he will work on the site of the pain, like the elbow and shoulder stiffness. He will also work on your neck at C7 because that nerve can control healing for injuries like tennis elbow. After that, Dr. Kenny will give you exercises to keep that injury away. Where is your pain? Can you find the nerve that it goes too? #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #healthylifestyle #chiropractic #activereleasetechnique #tennis #tenniselbow

This is Hudson, Dr. Kenny's 10 month old monster. He has not missed many meals. This video is meant to answer the question, "when should I bring my baby in to get adjusted?" There are a few things that I have noticed in my short time of being a father that lets me know when to check my kiddos for an adjustment. 1 the whole body wiggle like the video shown ... 2 the baby will grab his/ her ears or hair 3 the baby will hit his/ her head against the ground or car seat All of these are tell tale signs of tension on the dura mater, which is part of the spinal cord. When I see one of my kids doing this, I immediately check their Atlas (top bone of the spine) and work my way down and adjust them. The cool thing about adjusting babies is I almost always get a quick response from them, a giggle, or a whine which will be followed by a poop and/ or a nap. If you have any questions, drop them below or message the page #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #welladjustedbabies #babyboy #chirokids

This is an advanced move that I give to athletes that want to build a strong core. This is part of a progression and should be monitored by a professional. Attach one end of a cable to a bar so that there is only resistance on one side. Engage the core and during the whole exercise, motion should be RESISTED with your hips and core. When a baseball pitcher comes in with a tight low back, or decreased thoracic rotation or excessive shoulder horizontal hyper abduction, my goa...l is to strengthen their core. This doesn't involve crunches or Russian twists. We need to build a foundation for their body to resist motion under load. #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #baseballlife #baseballinjury #corestrength

Pregnancy looks different for everyone, but one thing stays the same: a huge part of caring for your unborn child is caring for yourself. Learn about how consistent visits to the chiropractor can help minimize back pain and prepare your body for delivery!

Happy 4th from everyone at SCWC!! Be safe and enjoy the fireworks. Shout to to @stavenessstudios for this awesome scrabble message board

This is a great core workout that I prescribe to patients that have low back pain and a weak core. This exercise is only to be done once stability in the sagittal plane is achieved. This exercise is not for everyone. This is an advanced move, but is absolutely vital for rotational athletes. The core is meant to resist motion. If you aren't programming rotation resistance into your workouts, then you are leaving power on the table. #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #corestrength #independenceday

What is the function of your low back and why does it get injured so often? The low back, is supposed to resist motion when your extremities move. It should be a very stable and strong structure. Two common misconceptions that I see:... 1. Just because you have a 6 pack, does not mean that you have a stable/ strong core. I have a lot of patients with 6 packs and back pain due to an unstable low back. 2. When you try to strengthen your core when you workout, do you move your abs or do you resist motion? I very rarely see people doing core stability exercises in the gym. I see most people doing some variation of a crunch though. If your low back was not designed to move, then why do you think that movements (crunches, back extensions, etc) will strengthen it?

Hayes and Hudson get checked every other week for adjustments. Dr. Kenny knows the importance of keeping his family healthy, happy and smiling Hayes also likes to copy mom and dad when they exercise. So if a 2 year old can do some glute bridges before bed time, what is your excuse? #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #chiropractor #chirokids @ Strack Chiropractic Wellness Center

I love what I do. I get to hang out some some incredible athletes from the time they are new born giraffes until the time they are grown men and college Athletes. Will Benton is a special young man and his story is inspiring. I can't wait to follow his football career at SMU. #PonyUp #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga

Preach!! If it was easy, everyone would do it. Taking the more difficult path pays off in the long run. I will always treat my patients as a whole. My goal is the fix the problem that is causing the pain. Symptom relief is only the priority at the very beginning.

Everything is connected even if it doesn’t feel like it. This rang true for Bradley, a 16-year old high school basketball player, and patient at Strack Chiropractic Wellness Center. Check out our blog for more information about how chiropractic care is a slam dunk for athletes.

"College baseball pitchers with less neck mobility during the preseason had an increased risk of time loss and shoulder and elbow injuries during the season." It is really simple, altered range of motion leads to injuries. Are you doing your best to stay on the field? Get your movements assessed by a specialist so at the end of the day, you know you did everything you could to reach your goals.

Take your core workout to the next level!! I give this exercise to a lot of my high level athletes that present with a wea core. A lot of times, they cannot resist motion. That is the name of the game for core strength. Is your core strong enough to resist motion while your arms and legs move? If not, you can present with all kinds of symptoms. One thing I address with all of my patients is core strength so that they can avoid pain in the future.... #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #healthylifestyle #chiropractic #corestrength

STOP DOING CRUNCHES AND SIT UPS. they are a waste of time and add little value to the quality of your strength. The Glute Bridge is one of the most complete core exercises that exists. This can be made more difficult in a number of ways without changing the structure of the spine or loading the spine. #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #healthylifestyle #coreworkout

This is a great exercise to perform for unilateral hip stabilization. A lot of people have low back pain on one side. This usually comes from hip instability. This is an exercise that I like to give to help build hip stability. If you want to increase hip stability, you need to focus on these cues. #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #healthylifestyle #chiropractic #lowbackpain #lunges

Did you start getting stiffness or pain since the start of quarantine? It could be that you are sitting down more than normal. If you sit in hip flexion a lot, it could be a good idea to stretch you hip flexors. This is the correct way to stretch your quads without jamming your facets I do not give out a lot of static stretches in the office. This is one of the few, if done correctly, can be beneficial.... #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #healthylifestyle #chiropractic #backpainrelief #stretching

You know our beloved Angela. She was in a bicycle accident a few weeks ago and has intense shoulder pain. She came in with 7/10 pain on the first picture. After ONE treatment, take a look at that progress!! This was a normal visit in my office. I did 15 minutes of Active Release Technique and adjusted her spine and shoulder. She left the office with 3 minutes of exercises that she will do 2-3 times per day until the next time I work on her #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #healthylifestyle #activereleasetechnique #shoulderpain #bikelife @ Strack Chiropractic Wellness Center

When will you start listening to your body? #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #healthylifestyle #chiropractic #evolution

Are you having low back pain because you are sitting down too much during quarantine? Try out this hip stretch. Follow these cues to make sure that you are doing it properly. ... 1. Engage your core and squeeze your butt. 2. Make sure that your shoulders do not fall forward. 3. You should feel the stretch closer to your hip than your knee. #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #healthylifestyle #stretch

Lower back pain is no joke and something you shouldn't have to live with every day. Check out our latest case study for more information and as a bonus, we even included videos to help you with your lower back pain!

What a ringing endorsement from Tyler Peabody, owner of @thedoggydorm. She has been such a great patient and has the most beautiful little girl. I love helping pregnant women get out of pain and continue their active life styles #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #healthylifestyle #chiropractic #pregnant #backpain #backpainrelief

A patient came into the office after a nasty bicycle accident. She had lost 30% of her total knee flexion. And was walking with a limp. She also has a history if lower back pain. I used active release technique and therapeutic ultrasound to break up adhesions and help restore range of motion. I adjusted the full kinetic chain because she was having some hip and low back pain as well. I also used micro-current around the knee to help with bruising to the ligaments. Lastly, I j...sed coldwave laser to helpbwith some discoloration on other bruises. After 1 week and 2 treatments, her range of motion is better and there is minimal discoloration. #StrackChiropractic #woodstockga #healthylifestyle #chiropractic #kttape #rocktape #bikelife @ Strack Chiropractic Wellness Center

Thank you from Dr. Kenny

How to become a Hospitable Host for viruses: EAT A POOR DIET: If your body lacks vitamins, minerals, enzymes and micronutrients it will have a harder time staying healthy. BECOME DeHYDRATED: Adequate water intake will increase your natural defense effectiveness.... STOP EXERCISING: Exercise boosts the efficiency of your lymphatic system: which requires movement to circulate the important germ fighting fluid. THINK NEGATIVE THOUGHTS: Avoid obsessive monitoring of the news reports and outbreaks, fearing the advancement of the pandemic. It will cause stress which we know is harmful to our bodies. RARELY WASH YOUR HANDS: washing your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds can greatly reduce your chance of spreading germs you may have picked up. SKIP YOUR CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS: Routine Chiropractic Care can regulate your nervous system which is the MASTER SYSTEM that controls your entire body. please stay safe & well.

Gym I closed, so Dr. Kenny works with what he can. Getting a quick workout during the lunch break. Don't you wish your office had this nice of equipment? #StrackChiropractic #CoronaQuarantine #Workout #Woodstock

Stretching is not the best thing that you can do for pain. A lot of the time, pain and stiffness comes from inactive muscles. The best things that can help activate muscles are proper movement and adjustments with active Release technique #MoveBetter #Chiropractor #Woodstock #Canton #HollySprings

I'm not saying that the Nationals winning is directly related to Chiropractic care, but I'm also not saying it's not. Get adjusted! Get your spine checked. If guys do it on the biggest days/ games if their life, why don't you do it too?

Love this. I tell almost all of my patients that stretching is not their problem. The problem comes from poor movement patterns and joint restrictions #Chiropractor #WoodstockChiropractor #ActiveReleaseTechnique

A round of golf a day makes you go to the Chiropractor more often. So I support this message!
