🔧 Chiropractic adjustments don't "put bones back into place."

One of the biggest misconceptions about chiropractic care is that we're moving bones around. In reality, research shows chiropractic adjustments don't create lasting changes in bone position.

What they do help with is restoring motion to joints that have become stiff, restricted, or aren't moving the way they're supposed to.

Think of it like a rusty door hinge:🚪 You don't move the hinge to a new location.🛠️ You remove the restriction so the door can open and close smoothly again.

Your joints work much the same way.

When joint motion improves, people often experience:
✅ Less pain and stiffness
✅ Better mobility
✅ Improved movement quality
✅ Greater confidence doing the activities they love

Our goal isn't to change your structure—it's to help your body move and function better.

Move well. Move often.

🤔 Can you actually palpate and release the iliopsoas?

Depends on who you ask.

Some clinicians argue the iliopsoas is too deep to reliably isolate with manual therapy, while others believe they can effectively target it. The truth is, the research isn’t completely settled.

What we do know is this:

✅ Manual therapy techniques directed at the hip flexor region can reduce pain and improve hip mobility in people with hip and low back pain.

✅ Studies have shown that soft tissue techniques combined with active exercise tend to outperform passive treatment alone.

✅ The best results happen when manual therapy is used to create a temporary window of improved movement, then reinforced with strength and mobility exercises.

So whether we’re truly “releasing” the iliopsoas or simply affecting the surrounding tissues and nervous system, the goal remains the same:

➡️ Decrease pain
➡️ Improve movement
➡️ Get patients back to doing what they love

🚨 COMMENT SCIATICA to get our FREE Sciatica Guide!

Piriformis syndrome might be the most talked about cause of sciatica on social media... but it’s actually one of the least common.

Research suggests that true piriformis syndrome accounts for only about 6-12% of sciatica cases. That means the majority of people with pain, numbness, or tingling down the leg are dealing with an issue that originates from the low back—not the piriformis muscle.

But if testing shows that your piriformis is contributing to your symptoms, these are two of our favorite exercises:

✅ Pigeon Pose Slider BackThis adds an eccentric component to the stretch, helping improve hip mobility and tissue tolerance rather than just passively hanging out in a stretch.

✅ Banded Glute BridgeThe piriformis is a hip muscle. Strengthening the glutes and improving hip stability can help reduce excessive strain on the piriformis and improve overall movement mechanics.

The biggest mistake we see? Assuming every case of “sciatica” is piriformis syndrome and stretching the area endlessly without actually identifying the source of the problem.

Assess first. Treat second. 👊

Three reasons this might be the best push-up variation you’re NOT doing 👀

The kettlebell push-up checks a lot of boxes at once:

1️⃣ The neutral wrist position can be a game changer for people who get wrist pain during regular push-ups2️⃣ The unstable grip challenges your forearms and grip strength more than the floor3️⃣ The added depth gives you a bigger pec stretch and increases the range of motion 💪

Bonus: lifting one leg forces your core and pelvis to work overtime to resist rotation, making this way more than just a chest exercise.

And remember… the “best” push-up still needs proper form. Quality reps > ego reps every time ✔️

Research has shown that increasing push-up range of motion can increase muscle activation and training stimulus compared to standard floor push-ups, while unstable surfaces can increase shoulder and trunk muscle demand when used appropriately.

Comment “SCIATICA” and we’ll send you our FREE Sciatica Blueprint 📖🔥

Most people stretch their hamstrings over and over when the real issue may actually be irritation or sensitivity of the sciatic nerve itself. That’s where nerve flossing can help. 👇

Sciatic nerve flossing is designed to help improve the nerve’s ability to move and glide through surrounding tissues without constantly being compressed or irritated. Think of it less like “stretching the nerve” and more like restoring normal movement to the system. ⚡

One of the biggest mistakes we see?
❌ Aggressively stretching into pain
❌ Holding long static stretches
❌ Ignoring the low back completely

The goal is gentle motion, not cranking on the nerve. When done correctly, nerve flossing may help reduce tingling, burning, tightness, and radiating symptoms down the leg. 🙌

Our free guide breaks down:
✅ Which exercises to start with
✅ When extension vs flexion matters
✅ How to calm down irritated nerves
✅ What movements to avoid early on
✅ Step-by-step progressions we use in clinic

Sciatica isn’t always a “piriformis problem.” Many times the low back is the true driver. Assess don’t guess. 👊

Most shoulder rehab starts with bands and isolated rotator cuff work… but sometimes the shoulder needs to relearn how to handle force through the entire body first. 👀

This 5-month sidelying DNS position is one of our favorite starting points for shoulder pain because it’s a closed-chain exercise. Instead of the shoulder moving freely in space, the arm is connected to the ground, which helps improve joint stability, co-contraction, and proprioception. 💪

In this variation, we add clinician resistance:
➡️ I push into the shoulder to challenge the eccentric control
➡️ The patient pushes back into me to work the concentric portion
➡️ All while keeping the rib cage, trunk, and shoulder working together as one system

Research shows closed-chain shoulder exercises can improve dynamic stability and reduce excessive stress on irritated tissues compared to jumping straight into higher level open-chain loading. It’s not about avoiding rotator cuff exercises forever… it’s about building the foundation first. 🧠

A stronger shoulder isn’t just about “activating” muscles. It’s about teaching the body how to create stability under load again. 🔥

Great night hosting our Chamber After Hours event at Comprehensive Chiropractic & Sports Performance! 🍻

Awesome getting to connect with so many local businesses, meet new faces, and spend time with people who continue to support our community here in Eureka. Huge thank you to everyone who came out for the food, drinks, networking, and good conversations.

As the networking portion of the night started winding down, some of the staff may have turned things a little competitive with a modified pong game using cups and wadded-up paper 😂🏓 Safe to say the competitive energy carried over outside the treatment rooms too.

We appreciate everyone who stopped by!
