Bell Family Chiropractic

Dear Patients,

I’m happy to share that Dr. Adrian Villalba will be joining the office beginning March 30th. Moving forward, we’ll be practicing under the banner of Russian River Chiropractic, and I’m excited to welcome him into the practice and our community.

You may have already noticed a few updates happening around the office. Dr. Adrian has begun giving the space a bit of a refresh, with some painting and improvements underway, and you can expect a few more updates in the coming weeks.

Dr. Adrian has been practicing chiropractic for about a decade and has served the Santa Rosa community for the past five years at Acorn Chiropractic Club. He brings a thoughtful, patient-centered approach to care and has experience working with athletes, working adults, weekend warriors, and families, including those navigating pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and of course overall wellness.

He also teaches a functional movement program called Foundation Training at the local climbing gym, Session, and enjoys helping people build strength and resilience in their bodies. Dr. Adrian speaks Spanish and is especially excited to serve and support members of our Spanish-speaking community.

I’m really looking forward to introducing him to all of you in the coming weeks.

Thank you, as always, for being part of our practice.

Sincerely,
Scott L Bell, DC

The Future of a Generation: Hyperkyphosis from Excessive Screen Use 😬

We’re witnessing a troubling trend — the posture of a generation being reshaped by screens. Hours spent hunched over phones, tablets, and laptops are leading to a condition known as hyperkyphosis — an excessive forward curvature of the upper spine.

What was once seen mostly in the elderly is now appearing in teenagers and young adults, their necks craned downward for hours each day. The constant strain on the spine, shoulders, and neck muscles gradually alters posture, causing the classic “tech neck” or hunchback appearance.

Beyond looks, the consequences run deeper: chronic pain, reduced lung capacity, nerve compression, and long-term musculoskeletal damage. Doctors warn that these posture issues, left unchecked, could become one of the most widespread lifestyle-induced deformities of the 21st century.

It’s a silent epidemic of our digital age — one text, one scroll, one slouch at a time.

The office will be closed on Friday, July 4th and Monday, July 7th. We will reopen on Tuesday, July 8th at 2pm. Call today and get in before the holiday. 707 526-1928. Enjoy the long weekend.
