Want to reduce your risk of developing low back pain? 😴

Research has found that better sleep habits are associated with lower odds of developing low back pain.

While many factors can contribute to back pain, sleep is one of the most overlooked pieces of the puzzle.

Your body recovers while you sleep. That includes tissue repair, muscle recovery, and the regulation of inflammation and stress levels 💪

Better sleep can support both your spine and your overall health.

Now that the weather is nice, lots of people are back on the golf course. ⛳

That also means we’ve been seeing more golfer’s elbow.

Golfer’s elbow causes pain on the inside of the elbow and is often linked to repetitive gripping and swinging. While strengthening is important, treatment should not stop at the elbow.

A golf swing is a full-body movement. If the hips, spine, or shoulders are not moving well, extra stress can be transferred into the elbow.

That’s why evaluating the whole movement chain matters. 🏌️

If elbow pain has been affecting your game, call now to book an appointment with our clinic!

Still struggling with chronic plantar fasciitis? 👣

Plantar fasciitis is often more than just irritation at the bottom of the foot. Tightness in the calf muscles and surrounding tissues can also contribute.

Stretching and strengthening can help, but a recent review found that combining soft-tissue therapy with exercise led to greater improvements in heel pain, foot function, and ankle mobility than exercise alone.

Feel like your tennis elbow just isn’t getting better? 🎾

What if it’s not actually just tennis elbow?

A recent study found that 44% of patients with persistent tennis elbow symptoms also had radial tunnel syndrome, a condition characterized by irritation of a nerve near the elbow.

This means you could be doing all the “right” exercises, but if a nerve is involved, symptoms may persist.

That’s why getting the right diagnosis matters. 💡

Pain traveling from your neck into your arm can feel scary. 😣

For many people, the first thought is, “Do I need surgery?”

But research found that surgical and non-surgical care showed similar long-term improvements after 12 months. 🙌

That means surgery is not always the only option for neck pain that radiates into the arm.

Does lifting with low back pain mean your muscles are “working wrong”? 🤔

Not necessarily.

A recent study found that trunk muscle activity during lifting was very similar in people with and without a history of low back pain.

What does this mean? Low back pain is often more complex than just “weak muscles” or “bad lifting mechanics.” Factors like mobility, endurance, recovery, and stress can all play a role.

That’s why treatment should focus on the whole person, not just one movement. 💪

Can your bone health affect your joint health? Absolutely. 🦴

Your joints are where two bones meet and work together to create movement. When bone health changes, joint function can change too.

Research has found that osteoporosis may place greater stress on the spine’s joints, affecting stability and movement over time.

Healthy bones help support healthy joints. 💪 Check out this infographic to learn more. https://chiroup.short.gy/pRw6V7

Did you know your metabolic health can affect your shoulder mobility? 🤔

Frozen shoulder isn’t always “just a shoulder problem.” Research shows that people with diabetes are nearly 4 times more likely to develop frozen shoulder compared to those without diabetes.

Researchers have also linked increased risk to factors like:
• Poor blood sugar control
• Obesity
• High blood pressure
• Chronic inflammation

Frozen shoulder can lead to significant pain, stiffness, loss of motion, sleep disruption, and difficulty with everyday activities, such as reaching overhead or getting dressed.

It’s another reminder that overall health and joint health are closely connected 💪

If shoulder pain or stiffness has been slowing you down, call now or book an appointment with our team!

Pickleball is fun… until your shoulder or elbow says otherwise 🥒🏓

Quick direction changes, repetitive swings, and sudden lunges can strain the shoulders, wrists, and lower back if you’re not prepared. Proper warm-ups, strength training, and recovery habits can make a big difference in helping you stay on the court longer and pain-free.

Check out this infographic to learn more about preventing pickleball injuries and how to keep your game strong all season. https://chiroup.short.gy/0mfK7V

Time to shine a light on risk factors for heart disease. ❤️

New research has found that night light exposure increases the risk of heart disease.

Even when factoring in other risk factors like physical activity, smoking, alcohol, diet, and sleep duration, exposure to light still increases the risk!

So put away your phone, turn off the TV and the lights, and make sure you have dark curtains to create a dark sleeping environment. 💡

Call our office or book an appointment to learn more about improving your overall health!
