Estner will be on hand at the Cranston RI YMCA on Saturday, April 16, 2011 from 12 to 4PM to offer spinal screenings for children ages 4 on up to adults. This will be a great opportunity to have your spine checked using the S.A.M. machine (spinal analysis machine).

Our team of doctors and medical assistants are proud to offer free spinal analysis to children and adults during this event. We have helped thousands of people over our 14 years in practice to reduce and eliminate back pain and help to correct posture.

    Too much stress can wreak havoc on your body and your mind. The easiest way to handle stress is to exercise regularly, avoid high sugar and high fat foods, have a positive mental attitude and get chiropractic adjustments regularly to keep your nervous system in shape.

Cranston RI Chiropractor Relieves Hip and Back Pain After Fall

After falling in the bathtub years ago, I suffered pain in my hips, back and numbness in my left thigh. A coworker recommended seeing a Chiropractor and gave me Dr. Estner's number to call. Dr. Estner ordered x rays and then consulted with me. By looking at the x rays he immediately started me on a series of tests, treatments and stretching exercises. After weekly treatments, 2 to 3 times a week, the numbness was dissipating, the spine was being adjusted and the hips were put back in place. This was over 7 years ago and I still see Dr. Estner for adjustments on a regular basis. Dr. Estner is very professional and the staff is very courteous and friendly. I have recommended Dr. Estner to other friends needing Chiropractic services as well. The best feeling when you walk out the door and walk 20 to 30 feet to your vehicle and you have no pain and you feel so good, so aligned. You know you found a good Doctor, the Doctor that just treated you, Dr. Estner. Luci N. --

Chronic Back and Neck Pain Common for Office and Computer Workers

Neck and Back Pain Relief for Computer and Office Workers Chronic tension, neck pain, and back pain are common side-effects for many of us who work with computers or in office positions all day. The pain originates when certain muscle groups get over-burdened by this stress and what can be done to alleviate the pain and practice whole spine comfort techniques. The act of typing, reaching for items above our heads, lifting a child or carrying groceries can all cause stress and 'hunching up' of the muscles in the upper back and neck. This stress causes these mucles to get locked into one position and eliminates the involvement of the other muscles that could offer extra support. These muscles in our shoulders are constantly jumping in to help whenever we use our upper back or neck muscles. Because of this, their constant contraction inhibits our ability to relax the shoulders enough to stop the chronic upper back and neck pain that accompanies this involuntary muscle behavi

Many people still do not know when to turn to a chiropractor for help. I am going to go over some of the easy ways to know that you are a candidate for treatment. Obviously pain is a driving force but that is not the only reason to seek care. Some of the less known reason includes loss of range of motion, leg length discrepancy and posture. I am going to help you identify each one so you can know when you need to see a chiropractor and help a friend, co-worker or family member. The first topic is range of motion. Ideal range of motion of a joint is a complete hinge from A to Z. Think of it as a door swinging along its hinge from the wall to the latch. In the case of your neck, you should be able to turn and look over each shoulder equally. If you don’t make it all the way but can push it further if you try, it is mostly likely a muscular issue . If you are as far as it can go and will not move any more, you have joint issue. Just like the door, example it will swing to the wall bu
