Mind & Movement Chiropractic

As a chiropractor, I feel a civic duty to serve my community to the best of ability, even amidst this pandemic. I don’t think anyone is exempt from feeling stress from the quarantines and social distancing, but I value the response patients and clients have to my care so much that the joy of working in my profession supersedes the other life stressors. This is why I not only do the minimum in my field, but strive for unrelenting growth each year. In California we are requir...ed to take 24 hours of continuing education each year, yet I average closer to 100. (My patients testimonials and reviews will show they can tell to!) #covid19 #covid_19 #essential #essentialworkers #healthcare #healthcareworkers #healthandwellness #healthiswealth #sportschiro #sportschiropractic #chiropractor

Jordan presented to the office originally for treatment of an old sports injury that led to a spiral fracture of his fibula (lower leg/high ankle). This injury led to chronic pain and a significant amount of scar tissue in his ankle, and chronic low back pain. Recently another sports injury led to a strain of musculature in his upper back. A protocol of adjusting and scraping has almost fully resolved his ankle injury (note the minimal inflammatory response seen after treatme...nt compared to his upper back). I love helping patients resolve sports injuries, especially those that are years old. Nothing is as rewarding as a patient telling me I thought this was going to be new normal, I had no idea this could be fixed! #sportsinjury #sportsdoc #sportsdoctor #fracture #injury #recovery #rehabilitation #irvine #newportbeach #costamesa @ Mind & Movement Chiropractic

Work from home pain? Neck and upper pain from working on a laptop? Low back pain from sitting in a subpar chair for long hours? Along with adjustments, some heat and muscle release can go a long way to shorten your healing time. The hydrocollator heat pack and Hyperice percussion feel really relaxing together. #relax #destress #recouperate #regeneration #hyperice #heat #muscle #massage

Rate my garage gym! Covid aside, I have always wanted a proper home gym setup, as the busier you are in life the harder it is to make time to work out. Making healthy life choices easier to attain is a huge step toward long term health. Though I now have more equipment than most, piecing things together over time will suddenly offer you everything you need to fit fitness into life. Huge thanks to @roguefitness @schwinnindoorcycling @terracorefitness @ultimatesandbag @stick...mobility @betitanfit @gaiam @nutrishop_elsegundo for all the supplies seen here! (Still trying to get my hands on @ironmasterllc kettlebells) For reference, the space is 10x6ft. @garagegymreviews #homedecor #home #homegym #gymmotivation #gymlife #lifting #liftheavy #fitness #cycling #olympicweightlifting #socal #irvine #costamesa #newportbeach

Things to remember as Covid policies in California loosened and then rebounded back to being strict: (1) We as a community are in this together (2) No those that support mask wearing and distancing etc don’t like the policies, we abide by them because of their proven effectiveness (3) We are all frustrated by this situation, there is no benefit to arguing with each other over the situation we can’t control (4) Try to make or find time to do activities and hobbies you enjoy, or make an effort to find other new tasks to do that you have been procrastinating on doing

This Memorial Day, despite the blurring of days together, I think it is even more important to remember to thank and honor those that have served us and our country so selflessly. Our military and veterans have put themselves on the front lines to protect and serve us, just as the the medical industry is doing for us now like they have many times over history. Please use this holiday to practice compassion and understanding that those that serve do so with the knowledge and e...vidence they are given in order to serve a purposeful mission of protecting our citizens. Remember and thank those that have fought physically or in support staff for our wars, and those that are fighting for us now as essential healthcare or other businesses in order to keep us healthy and safe. Please try to understand that simply wearing a mask and not fighting employees on this is a huge support to them on their mission to remain open and help the public retain any amount of normalcy. #memorialday #memorialdayweekend #safety #safe #healthy #thankful #honor #thankyou #essential #essentialworkers #healthcare #thankyouhealthcareworkers @ Costa Mesa, California

As an Essential Health Care Business, I am still open! As deemed by the International Chiropractic Association and American Chiropractic Association, I am a primary health care provider encouraged to remain open during this time. I will be wearing a mask for all future appointments until further notice, per CDC guidelines, and I am taking extra precautions with sanitizing and disinfecting the treatment room and equipment between each appointment. For everyone working from hom...e and struggling with the lack of exercise options, I understand that new aches and pains are arising! As a muscle release specialist, I will be happy to address any muscle tension as well as standard chiropractic joint conditions. #muscle #musclerelease #musclerecovery #musclerelief #massage #massagetherapy #chiropractor #sportschiropractic #wfh #workfromhome #stayhome #staysafe #stayhealthy #stayathome #shelterinplace #oc #orangecounty #costamesa #irvine #lagunabeach

Home fitness equipment! Here is a small list of equipment to look into if you are bored out of mind from jogging around the block like I’ve been. Please feel free to DM or text the office with any questions (1) The sand bags from ultimatesandbagtraining.com are great and currently in use at my home. They have an option for water fill bags as well, which is great for cost efficiency so you aren’t buying crumb rubber or stealing sand from the beach. The power bag should be a go...od size for most people. (2) gorillabow.com bridges a nice gap between resistance band training and classic resistance training with free weights. I hate band workouts for many reasons due to the lack of proper handles, but this straight bar adaptation should be a great compromise. (3) the X3 Bar from jaquishbiomedical.com is a knurled Olympic bar with heavy bands and a floor plate. This is essentially the upgraded version of the previous, at a cost I would only recommend if you are truly interested in variable resistance home training. (4) Core fitness variable weight dumbbells from corehomefitness.com are cost effective and compact to mimic standard dumbbells. However, with some plastic parts they won’t withstand heavy abuse like dropping. (5) ironmaster.com has a lot of great built for lifetime equipment including the adjustable dumbbells, kettle bells, and even barbell set to build out a compact cost effective quality home set. (6) roguefitness.com is arguably the industry standard for home gyms and professional equipment. With cost effective options like their echo line, getting and Olympic bar set up will fit most long term investment budgets. #homeworkout #homefitness #fitness #fitnessmotivation #sportsdoc #healthylifestyle #quarantine #quarantinelife #tigerking #carolbaskinkilledherhusband lol @ Mind & Movement Chiropractic See more

Making time to exercise is always important and should never be made less of a priority (quarantine included). If you are confused on what constitutes a healthy week of activity, this info graph graph breaks it down pretty well. Walking, running, and bike riding are all great and easy activities even amidst the social distancing order. Resistance training can be a bit difficult now without the gyms at disposal, however revisiting calisthenics in your regime is a great start. Personally, I just ordered some sand bags to use at home as well, which I will address in a review later. #fitnessmotivation #fitness #fitnessjourney #health #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #exercise #running #walking #hiking #biking #spin #resistancetraining #gym #gymlife #chiropractor #sports #sportschiropractic #quarantine #quarantinelife #quarantinefitness

Pain in your neck or upper back when waking up? Check your pillow and sleep position! Both side lying and on your back are good sleeping positions, though I don’t recommend sleeping on your stomach as this will put extra torque on your neck and low back. If you would like more help or detail, contact me for a free sleep consultation! Virtual appointments/consultation available during this time as well. However, the office is still open, we are taking extra precautions on sanitization. #sleep #quarantine #neckpain #backpain #sleepy #health #wellness #wellrested #chiropractor #occhiropractor #costamesa #irvine #orangecounty @ Mind & Movement Chiropractic

COVID-19 , Flattening the Curve. The outbreak at this point cannot be entirely contained. The virus has simply spread too far. The point of quarantine and social distancing is to alleviate the strain on the hospitals, and thus save as many lives as possible. For the majority of people, generic cold and flu symptoms with fever is all you will experience, however some unfortunate individuals will need to be in ICU and possibly intubated as well. We only have so many ICU beds an...d intubation units, so if we can SLOW the spread, then we can save lives. This is why these mandates are important. So, if not for yourself, but for the community around you, STAY HOME if you don’t HAVE to leave the house! This being said, I am still open and treating patients. I am a healthcare provider and it is my duty to continue to help people and alleviate the medical industry of further strain for conditions which are in my scope to treat. I am taking the same precautions I always do regardless, cleaning my hands between every patient, cleaning the table between every patient, and only seeing one individual at a time. This is part of the service fee you pay to see me in the boutique setting as opposed to the assembly line style. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to DM, call or text my business lines. I am here for all of you amidst these weird and scary times. #covid_19 #coronavirus #clients #client #smallbusiness #entrepreneur #chiropractor #sportschiropractic #clean #healthy #pain #painfree #help #helpingothers #scarytimes See more

Are you actively avoiding public places due to the Corona Virus? Including places like Doctor’s Offices due to crowds? Well, unlike many other Chiropractic offices that feel like an assembly line, my time is dedicated to individual patients for up to 30min per treatment. My standard, even before this outbreak, is to disinfect the table between every patient to ensure that my patients stay healthy and progress positively from their visits to my office. If you are looking for a Chiropractor whose office doesn’t feel like an assembly line with a dirty table, come on in for a consultation! #coronavirus #clean #cleanliness #sterile #quality #qualityoverquantity #chiropractor #sportsmedicine

Celebrating two years in business! (The second photo is my first location in El Segundo). Since then I have moved my El Segundo location to a bigger and newer office and location, added a second location in El Segundo, and now interviewing to build a team of Chiropractors. Wow, how time flies! #growth #happy #happypatient #happyclient #success #successmindset #chiropractor #elsegundo #costamesa #losangelescounty #orangecounty #sportsperformance @ Mind & Movement Chiropractic

Don’t blame your age for your pain! Just because you are another year or decade older, doesn’t mean you are entitled to life long pain! Health and wellness is dependent on consistency over time. For example, just because you went running once this season doesn’t mean you will be able to get off the couch and run a marathon! It takes consistent effort over a long period of time to obtain results. That is why I recommend a minimum of at least one chiropractic visit and one massage per month. Manual therapy is just as important to your long term health, exercise performance, sleep quality, and stress levels as exercise and diet are. Are you overdue? #pain #painscience #treatyoself #treatyourself #painmanagement #qualitytime #quality #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #health #healthy #stress #stressrelief #stressfree #sleep
