Did you develop a headache after a head or neck injury? You’re not alone. 🤕

Research found that more than 60% of people with mild head or neck trauma experienced headaches after their injury.

Head and neck injuries can place stress on the upper neck and may contribute to ongoing headaches. Evaluating your neck’s movement and function can help identify factors that may be contributing to your pain.

If you’re dealing with headaches after an injury, call our clinic to schedule an appointment today.

Could changing the foods on your plate help lower your cholesterol? 🥑🥜

The Portfolio Diet focuses on several cholesterol-lowering foods, including nuts, soluble fiber, plant sterols, and plant-based proteins.

Research suggests that combining these foods may have a meaningful impact on LDL cholesterol, making your overall dietary pattern more important than any single “superfood.”

Check out this infographic to learn more about the Portfolio Diet and the foods it includes. https://chiroup.short.gy/1vIxR9

Chronic neck pain that just won’t go away? Your vision and balance may be worth considering. 👀

New research suggests that adding vision and balance exercises to standard neck care may improve pain and neck function.

When your eyes and inner ear aren't communicating properly with your brain, your neck muscles tense up to compensate.

Real relief starts with a thorough exam to find out exactly where the disconnect is. Ready to get back to moving pain-free? Call our office today to get on our schedule.

Can you bend your joints farther than most people? 🤸

You might have joint hypermobility. While being flexible isn't necessarily a problem, excessive joint movement can sometimes be associated with pain, instability, or other symptoms.

The goal isn't always to become less flexible. Building strength, improving control, and learning how to manage your range of motion can be important for supporting hypermobile joints.

If you have dealt with lower back pain for years, you might feel like surgery is the inevitable next step.

New research reminds us that official clinical guidelines do not recommend back surgery for chronic lower back pain when leg pain is not present.

Non-surgical options like exercise, mobility work, and chiropractic care may be worth exploring first. 🙌

Want to explore your non-surgical options? Call our clinic today!

Doing all your shoulder exercises but still not getting relief? 🤔

Sometimes the problem may involve your neck and nerves, not just your shoulder.

Research shows that nerve involvement can occur alongside rotator cuff injuries, which is why evaluating both the shoulder and neck is important.

Think swapping regular soda for diet soda is better for your health? 🥤

New research suggests it may not be that simple. Frequent consumption of zero-sugar beverages was associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes.

What you drink affects overall inflammation, daily energy, and how well your muscles and joints recover from daily stress.

Better choices for daily hydration:

✔️ Water infused with fresh lemon, cucumber, or berries
✔️ Unsweetened sparkling water for natural fizz
✔️ Herbal teas served hot or iced

Is your back pain more than just a sore muscle or stiff joint?

Research shows that long-lasting pain can actually change how your brain processes pain signals. đź§ 

That’s why effective care may need to address both your body and your nervous system through movement, education, and hands-on care.
