Pain is a complex and multifaceted experience that involves far more variables than just tissue damage. Effective pain management requires understanding that the body—and more specifically, the brain—interprets the situation to determine how dangerous it perceives the injury to be. This assessment includes not only the physical state of the body but also emotional, environmental, and psychological factors. The brain considers the current context, past injury experiences, and potential future consequences of the injury before determining the degree of threat and, subsequently, the level of pain you feel. - [Healthy Spine: What does it mean](https://drnotley.com/healthy-spine-what-is-it/): To understand what a healthy spine is, we must first define health itself. Health is a multifaceted concept that goes beyond the mere absence of disease or symptoms. According to the World Health Organization, health encompasses a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. This means that even if someone has symptoms or conditions, they can still be considered healthy if they maintain functionality and well-being in daily life. It also means that the absence of symptoms doesn't necessarily mean that you are healthy. - [Lumbar Motor Control: Why Your Back “Goes Out” Picking Up a Pen](https://drnotley.com/lumbar-motor-control-back-pain/): Bending over to pick up a pen didn't throw your back out.

The Truth About Running and Disc Degeneration](https://drnotley.com/running-and-disc-degeneration/): If you have been told you have degenerative disc disease in your lower back, your first instinct was likely to stop running. For years, the common wisdom, even among some healthcare providers, was that running is "high impact" and therefore "bad" for your back. The image of your vertebrae "hammering" away at your spinal discs is a powerful one, and it’s led thousands of people to give up the sport they love in search of back pain relief in Winnipeg. - [Doorway Stretch: Improve Shoulder Mobility and Reduce Chest Tightness](https://drnotley.com/door-stretch/): The discomfort you feel in your shoulders isn't necessarily because you are "slouching."

I got lucky recently when I found a research paper by Dr Stuart McGill (One of the leading researchers in spinal biomechanics) .  The paper is titled, "Kettlebell swing, snatch and bottoms-up carry: Back and hip muscle activation, motion, and low back loads". - [What is Corrective Exercise?](https://drnotley.com/what-is-corrective-exercise/): Corrective exercise is a buzz word right now in the musculoskeletal health care circles (chiropractors, athletic therapists, physiotherapists etc.).  What are corrective exercises? This is a difficult question to answer since there seems to be different definitions. - [Exercise of the Week: Cat-Cow](https://drnotley.com/exercise-of-the-week-cat-camel/): To prepare your spine for your work day or if you are suffering with acute lower back pain one of the exercises that I recommend is the cat-cow exercise. This is not an exercise that is intended to be a stretch or to seek greater range of motion. It is more of a mobility exercise. - [Prone Thoracic Extension](https://drnotley.com/prone-thoracic-extension/): The prone thoracic extension has become one of my most used corrective exercises.

The Best Exercises for Crossfit Shoulder Health - YouTube. - [Warm up your hips for power](https://drnotley.com/warm-up-your-hips-for-power-2/): Many of the exercises that I use for my athletes may seem to be remedial but despite their simplicity they often result is many miraculous effects.  Range of motion and strength improvements can sometimes be immediate.  I found this article, "Low load exercises targeting the gluteal muscle group acutely enhance explosive power output in elite athletes",  which uses many of the corrective exercises that I already give to my patients. - [Achieve your fitness goals without pain](https://drnotley.com/achieve-your-fitness-goals-without-pain/): The reason I am writing this is that I want to be able to help you achieve your goals.

Time to work into the pain](https://drnotley.com/achilless-tendonitis-time-to-work-into-the-pain/): Achilles tendonitis can be an annoying thing to deal with. As a Chiropractor/ Athletic Therapist I have a number of athletes (Runners, Triathletes, Crossfit athletes etc) that come to me for Achilles' tendonitis. A better term for it is Achilles' tendonopathy because there doesn't appear to be any inflammation that is occurring. Achilles's tendonopathy often can be frustrating because you can stop activity and have the pain disappear but then it will come back when the activity is reintroduced. - [Breaking the Sitting Cycle: Simple Movements Improving Blood sugar](https://drnotley.com/breaking-the-sitting-cycle-blood-sugar-simple-movements/): Modern life keeps many of us sitting for hours—at work, in the car, or on the couch.
