⚠️ YOUR SPINE CAN START WEARING DOWN BEFORE YOU EVER FEEL PAIN.

That’s something many people don’t realize.

Changes in the joints and discs of your spine can develop gradually over time—and you may not have significant symptoms in the early stages.

Then one day, your neck or back starts hurting and it feels like the problem came out of nowhere.

But pain doesn’t always tell us when the problem started.

At Van Ness Chiropractic, we look beyond your symptoms. We evaluate how your spine is moving and functioning so we can determine what may be contributing to the problem.

I’m Dr. Jeff Parkin, DC, with Van Ness Chiropractic.

📞 Call 847-842-8070 to schedule an evaluation.

Don’t wait for pain to be the first sign that something has changed.

🔴 WHY DO WE USE RED LIGHT THERAPY?

You may have seen the red lights in our office and wondered… what exactly are they doing?

Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by cells and may help support the body’s natural healing processes.

We use it as part of care to help reduce pain and inflammation, support tissue recovery, and improve function—especially when irritated muscles, joints, and other soft tissues are involved.

It’s not about simply covering up symptoms. Our goal at Van Ness Chiropractic is to help your body move better, function better, and recover better.

💥 WHAT’S THAT “POP” WHEN YOU GET ADJUSTED?

If you’ve ever had a chiropractic adjustment, you’ve probably heard that POP and wondered… what exactly just happened?

Here’s what surprises a lot of people: it’s not your bones cracking.

That popping sound is typically caused by a rapid pressure change inside the joint that allows dissolved gases to form a bubble—a process called cavitation.

And an adjustment isn’t about getting the loudest pop. At Van Ness Chiropractic, the goal is to help restore proper joint movement and improve how your body functions.

So remember: the POP isn’t the goal—better movement and function are.

🚨 FEELING BETTER IS WHEN MANY PEOPLE MAKE THEIR BIGGEST MISTAKE.

You start care. You’re feeling better. The pain decreases. So you stop.

Then a few weeks or months later… the problem comes right back.

That’s the problem with on-again, off-again care.

Feeling better doesn’t always mean the underlying problem has fully improved. Our goal is to improve movement, function, and stability—not just chase symptoms every time they flare up.

Think of it like exercise: consistency usually gets better results than starting and stopping over and over.

I’m Dr. Jeff Parkin, DC, with Van Ness Chiropractic.

📞 Call 847-842-8070 to schedule an evaluation.

Don’t just feel better. Work toward functioning better.

⏳ IF YOU’VE HAD THE PROBLEM FOR YEARS… DON’T EXPECT IT TO DISAPPEAR OVERNIGHT.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is waiting until a problem has been there for months—or even years—before doing something about it.

The longer your body has been dealing with pain, stiffness, limited motion, or poor function, the more time it may take to improve.

At Van Ness Chiropractic, our goal isn’t just temporary relief. We want to help improve how your body moves and functions so you can get back to doing the things you enjoy.

I’m Dr. Jeff Parkin, DC, with Van Ness Chiropractic.

📞 Call 847-842-8070 to schedule an evaluation.

Don’t wait for a chronic problem to become an even bigger one.

⚡ SCIATICA PART 3: IS IT GETTING WORSE?

Maybe your sciatica started as an occasional ache or tingling down your leg. But now the pain is happening more often, traveling farther down your leg, or becoming more intense.

That’s not something you should continue to ignore.

If your sciatica is getting worse instead of better, it’s time to have it evaluated and determine what may be irritating the nerve.

💡 Pain is a warning sign. If the warning is getting louder, pay attention to it.

I’m Dr. Jeff Parkin, DC with Van Ness Chiropractic. If your sciatica is getting worse or interfering with your sleep, walking, work, or everyday activities, give us a call.

⚡ SCIATICA PART 2: DON’T JUST FOCUS ON WHERE IT HURTS!

When you have pain shooting into your buttock, hip, or leg, it’s natural to focus on the area that hurts.

But with sciatica, where you feel the pain may not be where the problem is coming from.

The sciatic nerve is formed from nerve roots that originate in your lower back. Irritation or pressure on those nerves can cause symptoms that travel down the leg.

💡 So don’t just ask, “Where does it hurt?” Ask, “Where is it coming from?”

Finding the source of the problem is an important part of determining the right treatment.

I’m Dr. Jeff Parkin, DC with Van Ness Chiropractic. If you’re dealing with sciatica, let’s find out what may be causing it.

⚡ SCIATICA: WHERE IT HURTS ISN’T ALWAYS WHERE IT STARTS!

Do you have pain, burning, numbness, or tingling that travels through your buttock and down your leg?

The problem may not actually be where you feel the pain.

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve or the nerve roots that form it become irritated or compressed. That means you may feel pain in your hip, buttock, thigh, or leg—even though the source of the problem may be in your lower back.

💡 Treating only where it hurts may not address where the problem begins.

I’m Dr. Jeff Parkin, DC with Van Ness Chiropractic. If you’re struggling with sciatica, let’s find out what’s causing it and what can be done to help.

🪑 DOES YOUR HIP HURT WHEN YOU STAND UP?

You’ve been sitting for a while… you go to stand up… and suddenly your hip feels stiff, sore, or painful.

That discomfort may be a sign that your hip isn’t moving or functioning as well as it should. Tight muscles, joint restriction, or irritation around the hip can make those first few steps especially uncomfortable.

💡 Don’t just ignore it because the pain gets better once you start moving. Recurring pain is your body’s way of telling you something needs attention.

I’m Dr. Jeff Parkin, DC with Van Ness Chiropractic. If hip pain is making it difficult to get out of a chair, walk, exercise, or enjoy your normal activities, give us a call.

📱 HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND LOOKING DOWN EVERY DAY?

Think about how often you look down at your phone, tablet, laptop, or even your desk throughout the day.

When your head stays forward and down for long periods, it can place additional stress on the muscles and joints of your neck. Over time, that may contribute to neck stiffness, upper-back tension, headaches, and poor posture.

💡 Quick tip: Bring your phone closer to eye level, take regular breaks, and change positions throughout the day.

I’m Dr. Jeff Parkin, DC with Van Ness Chiropractic. If neck pain or stiffness is becoming part of your everyday routine, it may be time to find out why.
