I am delighted to announce that we have expanded our services at AlignLife of Springfield Chiropractic & Natural Health Center. Born and raised in Springfield, IL, Emily Handley, 29, focuses on massage therapy having graduated in 2012 from Midwest Technical Institute and the Healing Arts Center in St. Louis, MO, in 2012. She has worked alongside chiropractors for the past four years. 

When used to compliment chiropractic care, massage therapy can loosen tension in muscles and stabilize joints. Many patients find that, once massage is integrated into their care, their adjustments hold longer in between treatments. Using both therapies simultaneously can result in a much faster recovery time. Massage therapy can also help relieve pain from headaches, soft tissue and joints, fibromyalgia, and muscle tension. It can also help those with anxiety. 

Emily is trained in Swedish massage style, but also offers deep tissue, prenatal and hot stone massage. Emily schedules her appointments to work around her patients and is available Monday to Friday morning, afternoon, and evening. 
Having Emily on board is a great asset to our patients. With a combined approach, chiropractic and massage therapy, we are able to better offer a wide range of therapies within treatment plans – and we are already seeing great results. She also brings a great energy to the Springfield team.

All treatment must be based on an accurate diagnosis of your back pain. Make sure your chiropractor is well informed regarding your medical history, including ongoing medical conditions, current medications, traumatic or surgical history, and lifestyle factors. You should feel comfortable asking all the questions necessary to understand the chiropractic examination, diagnosis, and treatment plan when you meet with your chiropractor whether it is your first visit or during ongoing treatment. The chiropractor may check your posture and movement patterns, looking for things that aren't normal, such as one shoulder or hip that is higher than the other or a muscle group that isn’t working properly. The exam may also include muscle, reflex, and neurologic...

If you’re planning to take part in our annual Run for Prevention 5k for Health Missions in Washington Park on September 30th it is important that you train.  If you are looking to take part competitively or this is your first 5k there are a number of things you should consider. 3.1 miles is a doable distance for almost anyone, but it requires a mix of strength and stamina that must be earned through training. That being said, if you are not wanting to run or jog the course, you are welcome to walk it. Washington Park isn’t flat so in training to run use hill strides to increase strength in your quads, hams, glutes and calf muscles. Find a short, steep hill, one in Washington Park would make sense, and stride up the incline for 10 to 20 seconds. Recover by walking back down the hill. Intervals encourage you to tolerate a faster pace despite fatigue. The challenge is to run all the intervals at a consistent pace and to push past your comfort zone. Start with a one-mile warm u...
