Could the thing you're using to improve your posture actually be contributing to your neck pain? In Part 1 of my Real Patient Series, I'm assessing a patient experiencing neck pain and tightness that may have been aggravated by wearing a posture corrector for too long.

When evaluating pain, I look at range of motion, daily habits, and movements that trigger discomfort to help identify potential contributing factors. Because it's not just about where it hurts, but why it hurts.

Sometimes, an injury can affect more than you initially realize. After a fall, Carol began experiencing persistent numbness and tingling in her lower leg and foot. What initially seemed like a minor injury eventually developed into symptoms that were affecting the way she walked.

After trying other treatments without significant improvement, Carol made the 90-minute drive to see Dr. Stacey. Through an individualized approach to care, Carol began noticing improvements in sensation following her first visit and continues to make progress alongside physical therapy.

Every patient's recovery journey is different, but understanding the underlying cause of your symptoms is an important first step toward healing.

We're so grateful Carol shared her experience with us!

Did you know the way you breathe can impact more than just your lungs? Chronic mouth breathing, especially in children, can influence jaw development, facial growth, and sleep quality.

Nasal breathing helps filter and humidify the air we breathe while supporting healthy airway function. If you or your child frequently snores, sleeps with an open mouth, or experiences constant congestion, it may be a sign of an underlying airway issue.

Understanding why mouth breathing happens is the first step toward healthier breathing habits! Schedule an appointment to learn more about your airway health.

Did you know that when you take your supplements can affect how well your body absorbs them?

Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your supplements:

Vitamins A, D, E & K: Take with healthy fats to support absorption.
B Vitamins: Take with food to help prevent nausea.
Iron: Avoid taking alongside calcium, coffee, or tea, which can interfere with absorption.
Probiotics: Timing depends on the specific strain and formulation.
Magnesium: Taking it in the evening may fit well into your nighttime routine.

Small adjustments to your supplement routine can make a difference! Want our Supplement Timing Sheet? Email [email protected] to request your copy.

Neck tension? Try this gentle seated stretch!

This simple movement helps stretch the muscles along the front, sides, and back of your neck, improving flexibility and relieving stiffness.

The key is to move slowly, maintain good posture, and let the weight of your head create a gentle stretch without forcing it.

Save this for the next time your neck needs a little extra attention!

Neck and shoulder pain isn’t always coming from where you feel it! Sometimes, the missing piece is an underlying issue in a completely different area of the body.

Eating well doesn’t have to be complicated. A Supercharged Method meal keeps it simple: protein + plenty of above the ground veggies.

Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is a commonly used antihistamine, but like any medication, it's important to understand how it works and when it's appropriate to use.

Because it crosses the blood-brain barrier, diphenhydramine can cause drowsiness and, in some cases, confusion, delirium, or hallucinations, particularly in children, older adults, or when taken in higher-than-recommended doses. It's also generally not recommended for long-term daily use unless directed by your healthcare provider.

New Patient Series: Part 8

Healing is a process, not a one-time adjustment.

Your body develops compensation patterns over time, and as one area begins to function better, other imbalances may become more noticeable. That's why each visit builds on the last. By reassessing muscle function, movement, and posture at every appointment, we can tailor treatment as your body changes and progresses.

The goal isn't just temporary relief, it's helping your body move and function more efficiently over time.

New Patient Series: Part 7

Kinesiology tape is more than just something you see on athletes.

When applied with the proper technique and tension, it can help support an injured area while still allowing normal movement. It may also help reduce pressure on sensitive tissues and provide support as your body continues to recover between visits.

Treatment is never one-size-fits-all, and taping is just one of the many tools we may use when it's appropriate for the patient.
