Golden Gate Spine (Dr. Kim)

When we say a healthy spine is a healthy mind, we mean it! Taking care of your body and practicing spinal health strategies every day can help you move better, function easier, and give you the peace of mind you need to know that you’re healthy and strong. #spinalhealth

Let’s talk about mobility! Mobility can be defined as a dynamic or active series of movements that help you warm up your muscles and joints—but how does that correlate to your spine?

Fueling your body with nutritious foods and taking care of your physical fitness are the two key steps to maintaining a healthy weight. When you maintain a healthy body weight according to your individual stats and needs, you decrease the amount of stress on your spine.

Congratulations, it’s a girl! Last month, we celebrated Crystal and her baby right here in our office. We love our new babies just as much as we love our staff and that’s why we couldn’t resist throwing the best baby shower. Let's send positivity and health Crystal’s way!

We practice what we preach…do you? It may not seem obvious but a healthy spine equates to a happy life! Protecting your spine means more than just coming in for yearly check-ups and monthly yoga classes.

What is Lordosis? Lordosis, by definition, means excessive inward curvature of the spine. It may be inherited or caused by preexisting conditions. Having a slight inward bend is normal, but when it becomes extreme, it can lead to unusual arches and lower back pain.

This is your reminder to take care of yourself! How do you self-care? #spinalhealth #health #wellness #compassionatedoctors #authentichealthcare #expertsurgeon #spinaldecompression #spinalmanipulation #selfcare

Are you working from home, stuck at a desk for the majority of your day? Even when you’re in the office, this stagnant position can lead to irritating lower back pain and posture issues. #spinalhealth #health #workfromhome #compassionatedoctors #authentichealthcare

Yeah, it’s true. Our bodies are smarter than our brains, especially when it comes to alerting us of internal issues. It’s imperative to our overall health that we listen to what our bodies are saying because usually, they’re trying to tell us something important.
