Between cooler weather in California and the need to stay at home during COVID-19, this winter may prove tricky on your spine. From the way we sit to immobility through the day, there are plenty of actions (or lack of actions) that can impact the health of our spine and cause issues down the road.

Many of our patients spend their days sitting at a desk or spending long hours on their feet, not thinking about their posture. When they stand, they’re left with back pain and soreness. Over time, this improper posture can damage their spine and cause permanent damage.

At Unruh Spine Centers, we love to be involved with our local community through the good times and bad. Last month’s fundraiser at our office had a dash of holiday cheer while recognizing the somber mood of the community in the aftermath of the Saugus High School Shooting in November.

Our team at Unruh Spine Centers loves to give back to the local community. We celebrate what brings us together, and that’s why we’re pleased to announce the arrival of Santa Claus to our practice on the afternoon of Tuesday, December 10^th! Your whole family is welcome to attend and take part in the fun and enjoy complimentary photos with Santa. Portraits will be taken by the talented photographers from Schlick Art.

The snow has melted, the birds are chirping, and sunny days spent at the baseball diamond or lacrosse field are just beginning to return. During this seasonal transition when you’re itching to get outside and active, it’s important to have some awareness of sports injury prevention. After all, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” and nowhere is this old adage truer than in sports.

From general guidelines about diet and exercise to commonplace treatment options, we think it’s time to end “one size fits all” healthcare. By looking at what your body needs, rather than nationwide averages, Integrated Genetic Solutions can help you live a happier, fuller life — even if you already consider yourself a healthy person.
