If you are a new dad getting ready to celebrate Father’s Day this weekend, this blog is for you. You are probably feeling a lot of emotions right now – joy, fear, sleep deprivation to name a few. You’ve also probably heard plenty of advice, but one piece we find most parents don’t always follow it to make their own health a priority, too. It’s easy and understandable to push your own needs to the side when you have a new baby to care for and one part of health that is often overlooked is spinal health. Bending over to pick up your baby and hauling heavy diaper bags can take its toll, so it’s important to give your back the TLC it deserves. Here are our tips to help new dads have a healthy spine and a Happy Father’s Day.

Get As Much Rest As Possible

This one might seem impossible and getting much needed restful sleep probably isn’t in the cards for a while, so make sure you rest when you can. When deprived of sleep, your whole body suffers, including your muscles. When they tire out and weaken, your lower back ends up picking up the slack, which can lead to pain and long-term injury.

Lift With Your Legs

You’ve heard this one before, and it’s not just for picking up boxes and furniture. Your newborn might be small now, but your baby is going to grow – and fast! To protect your spine and back for the long haul, practice lifting properly now.

Make sure you avoid stooping over at your waist and instead bend at your knees. This isn’t just for picking up baby, but for changing diapers, too. Use a surface that will prevent you from staying hunched over. It may not seem like a lot right now, but after a few thousand diaper changes, you will be thinking a little differently.

Get Chiropractic Adjustments

One of the most rewarding jobs in the world is raising kids, but it’s also one of the most challenging. To make things a little bit easier on yourself, start with some self-care and chiropractic adjustments. These spinal manipulations will keep your back properly aligned. At Stiles Chiropractic. Dr. Tracey Stiles is an expert as using spinal adjustments to align the vertebrae of the spine, which relieves pain and treats injury. When the joints and spine are misaligned, it can cause a variety of health issues. As a new parent, who has time for that?! To maintain better health and keep up with your growing family, start with chiropractic care.

Patient Reviews

"My overall health has also improved because my allergies and my arthritis are also not as severe as they used to be. Dr. Stiles has always been very accommodating with her hours and appointments, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Over the years, I have recommended my sister, my best friend, my cousin and other friends to this office for chiropractic care."

"Excellent patient care and a convenient location.  Dr. Stiles technique is gentle and effective.  The office staff is professional and flexible.  The office hours offer a wide array of times for busy working people.  I switched from a chiropractor that I loved for the location and have not lost anything in terms of service.  I highly recommend for pain management, maintenance and wellness services."

-Ruanda G.

"Not the typical doctors office.  Dr. Stiles & staff are friendly and are flexible with appointments. And my neck and my back feel great!"

-Kevin T.

"Dr. Stiles is very gentle and caring and helpful in explaining what was wrong with my neck and spine. She came up with a treatment plan for me for the next few months. I was re-examined a few weeks ago and showed a lot of improvement! All without surgery. I highly recommend this chiropractic office."

-Monique P.

"Everyone in the office is very nice and helpful. I started going to Dr. Stiles because I had vertigo for more than a year. My doctor just told me it would go away eventually and prescribed Dramamine (which just made me feel sick). I decided to try this method as a last effort to get rid of it and it's worked. I couldn't be happier with the results from my visits here. I would (and have) recommended her to friends and co-workers."

-Jennifer M.

"I've been seeing Dr. Stiles for the past 10 years and in that time, my sciatic nerve has stopped flaring up. I also have had no more middle ear infections or ringing in my ears. I first started going to Stiles Chiropractic for what I thought was the beginning of carpal tunnel syndrome, my wrists, hands and fingers were numb and tingling. After a few adjustments, I was feeling much better and have not had that issue since.

-Dee M.

"Dr. Stiles has been my chiropractor for almost a decade. Regular visits to Dr. Stiles help me prevent tension from escalating and causing severe, debilitating pain that I've had in the past. I used to "throw my back out" once or twice a year, resulting in my being unable to move for three or four days. With ongoing maintenance, I'm happy to say that that rarely happens anymore, and if it does, Dr. Stiles knows me well enough to help fix it right away."

-Cathy H.

"I see Dr Stiles every week for neck pain and she is amazing! She is very kind and responsive to her clients. Highly recommended."

-Samantha M.

"Dr. Stiles is stellar! I am a resident of Los Angeles and any time I'm in town this is my go to place for chiropractic. Dr. Stiles is very thorough and educated on every joint in the body. I feel at ease and in good hands and most importantly well-informed through our entire sessions. I always walk out feeling taller and poised with a healthy body!"

-Kaila H.

"Wonderful! Best Ever! – I have been to chiropractors throughout my life (good and bad ones) but I have had the best experience here with Dr. Tracey. She gave me a very detailed exam and took the time to go over my exam and explain a treatment plan that will help me feel better in the long run. And I am all about preventative maintenance! She also explained my adjustment so well, I didn't freak out. Her office is wonderful, Friendly and warm!!"
