  • Life in Motion

The human body is an amazingly complex system of bones, joints, muscles, and nerves, designed to work together to accomplish one thing: motion. Remember that motion is life. Everything about the human body is designed with motion in mind: nerve fibers stimulate the muscles to contract, muscles contract to move the bones, bones move around joints, and the nerve system controls it all.

As a matter of fact, research has shown that motion is so critical to our body's health that a lack of motion has a detrimental affect on everything from digestion to our emotional state, immune function, our ability to concentrate, how well we sleep and even to how long we live. If your lifestyle does not include enough motion, your body cannot function efficiently. First, you will not be as physically healthy and will suffer from a wide variety of physical ailments, ranging from headaches to high blood pressure. Second, you will not be as productive in your life because of reduced energy levels and the lack of ability to mentally focus. Third, because you have less energy, your activity level will tend to drop off even further over time, creating a downward spiral of reduced energy and less activity until you get to a point where even the demands of a sedentary job leave you physically exhausted at the end of the day.

Read on to find out more how strength, posture, movement, and balance all play into living a life full of motion.

    Category: Health & Wellness, Life in Motion

    The ancient Japanese art form of growing Bonsai trees is fascinating. Bonsai trees are essentially normal shrubs that have been consistently stressed in a particular way for a long time to create a posture which would never be found in nature. Depending on how the tree is stressed while it grows, it

    Imagine waking up one morning with a frozen shoulder where you couldn't move your upper arm more than a few inches in any direction. How much would that impact your ability to do your job? How much would that affect your ability to drive your car or even to dress yourself? How much would that affect

  • Balance
    Category: Health & Wellness, Life in Motion

    Balance and coordination exist when the body is used for what it is designed for. Exercises such as walking, swimming, yoga, Pilates, bicycling, martial arts, and bodybuilding all help to improve muscle coordination. Activities such as working at a desk, reading, and watching television do the opposite

  • Strength
    Category: Health & Wellness, Life in Motion

    Strong muscles keep your body upright and allow you to move. Good muscle strength and balance are critical to maintain proper posture and minimize muscle tension. Your muscles function much like the wires that hold up a tall radio or television antenna. If the wires are equally strong on all sides, the

Testimonials

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I have found Brien Chiropractic Clinic to be both professional and helpful. I am very satisfied with my treatment as well as the friendly and welcoming staff. I would and have recommended this office to friends and family. My job as an educator is very stressful. I find Dr. Brien’s services help me to deal with this daily stress."
    Laurie Breaux - teacher
  • "Dr. Brien and his staff are wonderful. As a patient for 10+ years, they have treated me for several ailments. Dr. Brien treats me like family and has always had genuine concern for my well being. I have referred and will continue to refer my family and friends."
    Jamie Mayeaux - Fitness Instructor
  • "I have been a patient of Dr. Brien for several years now. I wasn't a firm believer in chiropractic care but after many years of suffering with a recurring back problem and 'traditional methods' of care leaving me with only brief periods of relief, I made the decision to give Dr. Brien a try. I noticed a difference right away. Dr. Brien put my concerns at ease with the first visit. The brief periods of relief I was accustomed to receiving from traditional methods, were now replaced with extended periods of relief without the use of medications. I can't put into words how much I appreciate the efforts of Dr. Brien and his staff."
    John Gros - Operator
  • "Massage therapy has improved the quality of my life tremendously. Riki knows my needs and applies the appropriate therapy to decrease my back pains and headaches. Her personalized care makes me feel like I am her most important patient. If you want individualized care, Brien Chiropractic Clinic can meet your needs."
    Tresa Webre - Assistant Superintendent
  • "Before receiving treatments, I suffered from tension headaches multiple times a month. There would even be times where the headaches were weekly. With a combination of treatment from Dr. Brien and the wonderful staff at the clinic, my "headache horror" is fully under control."
    Jessica Thomas - Teacher
