Don't just cover up joint pain, address it from the source!


Joint Vibrance




Joint Vibrance provides cartilage-building cells called chondrocytes with the proper nutrients necessary for construction of new cartilage and synthesis of hyaluronic acid. The entire formula is truly remarkable.

Before we are born, chondrocytes work rapidly to build protection into our developing skeletons. Then we are born, grow, and age. The older we become, the slower chondrocytes work.

As chondrocyte activity flags over time, they eventually fail to adequately compensate for the daily wear and tear placed on joints by an active lifestyle. As a result, nearly everyone has some degree of cartilage breakdown by the age of 32 to 35. For centuries it was thought that the gradual deterioration made joint pain and loss of mobility an inevitable fact of aging.






Hyaluronic acid (HA) is produced by keratinocytes and is a member of a large family of glycosaminoglycans, the main components of the extracellular matrix. It is abundant in tissues and fluids, with the highest concentrations in synovial fluid, vitreous humor and skin. HA helps to support joint integrity and provides supplemental support for skin health.

How to Warm Up Properly



   Athletes around Central Florida have been asking me what is the best way to stretch before activity or a sporting event. The best way is to stretch in motion. A warm muscle will not strain. Most people stretch statically and this puts the muscles to sleep and sets you up for injury. Static stretching is best to do after activity to help the muscle fibers recover.

The following is my pre-activity routine I recommend to athletes around the world.

1. Jog (20 yards)

2. Run back wards (20 yards)

3. High knees (20 yards)



4. Butt kicks (20 yards)


5. Lunges (20 yards)


6. Leg up to swing and touch opposite hand (alternate arm and leg) (20 yards)

7. Side Steps (over imaginary fence) (20 yards)

8. High knee and external rotating leg while stepping. (Alternate legs) (20 yards)

9. Arms (large circles) 20 seconds 


10. Arms (small circles) 20 seconds

Lumbar Facet Syndrome - Dr in the Villages focuses on correcting, not masking symptoms


Lumbar Facet Syndrome
One of the most common causes of lower back pain is lumbar facet syndrome. A pair of facet joints extend out from each vertebra along the back of the spinal column (the side that faces out), which connect to the corresponding vertebrae above and below, allowing for movement in the spine. Like any other joints, they are subject to injury and conditions such as arthritis or repetitive motion disorder. The more activity someone does that JAMS the Vertebral discs then
the greater chances of facet syndrome. Your Lumbar spine is structured with a lordotic curve. That curve is formed to distribute the weight evenly on each vertebra. When you lose the lordotic curve from sitting or poor posture then your weight on your joints are not evenly distributed and creates too much force on your Lumbar facet joints. The lumbar facet joint can create pain stemming from a variety of causes. One of the most common causes is simply aging. As we get older, the cartilage in our joints wears down and the synovial fluid lessens, reducing the cushioning the cartilage provides, and allowing the bones of
the joint to rub together. Smokers are at greater risk for lumbar facet syndrome, as it has been proven that smoking leads to greater cartilage loss. Injury to the lumbar facet joints caused by trauma or overextension (a situation particularly common among athletes) can also lead to this syndrome.
The Spinal Facet Joint
Some of the symptoms of Facet Joint Syndrome include:
1.) Severe spinal pain, particularly when engaged in movement.
2.) Stiffness and limited motion ability in the area of the back.
3.) Pain becomes worse upon bending backwards or straightening the back.
4.) When the lumbar nerve is affected, sciatica symptoms may occur.
5.) An onset of Pinched Nerve symptoms may arise, particularly in the area of the cervical spine.
Suffering from Facet Joint Syndrome
Individuals suffering from facet syndrome may feel worse in the morning, due to increased inflammation and stiffness that occurs during a resting period. They tend to have stiffness and usually will feel somewhat better after they have been moving around. As the day progresses they tend to be ok as long as they keep moving. However, for those having to work seated all day or work from a computer, they may find they are at a greater risk of experiencing pain
throughout the day. Patients often try shifting their posture in an attempt to find relief. But while this temporarily reduces discomfort, the resulting poor posture can trigger muscle spasms in the surrounding tissue, forcing the irritated facet joints more firmly together and making movement in the low back even more painful.
Treatment for Facet Joint Syndrome
People with lumbar facet syndrome respond particularly well to chiropractic care.
If you’re experiencing symptoms mentioned above and are looking for a chiropractor in The Villages, you can schedule a free consultation at Legacy Clinic of Chiropractic. While the mechanisms underlying facet syndrome are similar for everyone, there are factors unique to each patient, however, which determine what type of care will work best for you. If your condition is out of
our scope of care, or we believe someone else may be a better choice for you, we will research who the best medical professional would be and give you a referral.
