One of the biggest misconceptions about pain is that the place it hurts is always the source of the problem.

In reality, pain is often your body's way of telling you that something else isn't moving or functioning the way it should.

For example:
• Shoulder pain may actually begin with restrictions in the neck or upper back.
• Knee pain can sometimes be traced back to limited hip mobility.
• Headaches may be related to tension or dysfunction in the muscles and joints of the neck.

That's why simply treating the area that hurts doesn't always lead to lasting relief.

At St. Croix Spinal Care & Sports Rehab, we've been helping patients in the Hudson community since 2008. Our approach begins with understanding why you're experiencing pain—not just where it hurts. We evaluate how your body moves, identify areas of restriction or dysfunction, and look for the underlying cause of your symptoms.

From there, we develop a personalized treatment plan that may include chiropractic care, Active Release Techniques (ART®), rehabilitation exercises, dry needling, or other therapies to help restore healthy movement and support long-term recovery.

Our goal isn't just to help you feel better today—it's to help you get back to the activities you love with confidence.

Have you ever been surprised to learn that the source of your pain wasn't where you actually felt it? Share your experience in the comments—we'd love to hear from you!

"I can’t begin to try to explain what has happened over the course of 5 weeks of work. I wish that we had before-and-after pictures. I can honestly say, I was afraid my running days were over. Today I ran outside!"

Think stretching is only for athletes? Think again.
If you sit at a desk, work on your feet, garden, golf, or simply want to stay active, tight muscles can limit how well your body moves.
Professional assisted stretching can improve flexibility, reduce stiffness, and help you move with greater ease.

People often ask Dr. Flikke what he enjoys most about his work.

His answer isn't a specific treatment or technique—it's 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐬.

Every patient who walks through the door has a different story, different goals, and a different reason they're hurting. Dr. Flikke enjoys putting the pieces together to discover 𝐰𝐡𝐲 someone is hurting—not just where it hurts.

Whether it's helping a runner return to training, a grandparent play with their grandchildren, or someone simply walk without pain, his goal is always the same: helping people get back to doing the things they love.

Since opening 𝐒𝐭.𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐱 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 & 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛 in Hudson in 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟖, Dr. Stephen has built his practice around listening first, evaluating how the body moves, and creating a personalized plan based on each patient's needs and goals.

Outside the clinic, you'll usually find him 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞.
