Did you know your pregnancy history may be linked to chronic low back pain? 🤰

A national study of U.S. women found that each additional pregnancy was linked to about 8% higher odds of chronic low back pain. Having a first baby at a younger age was also linked to higher odds.

This doesn't mean pregnancy causes back pain, but it does show why your full history matters. 💡

That's why we ask about more than just your back. Your pregnancy and birth history can help us understand the bigger picture.

Could your back and hips be contributing to your knee pain? 🦵

Chondromalacia of the patella is a condition in which the cartilage behind the kneecap wears down, often causing pain at the front of the knee.

A recent study of people with this condition compared knee and hip exercises alone with the same exercises plus hands-on manipulative therapy to the lower back and pelvis. 👐

Both groups improved, but the group that added hands-on care showed greater gains in daily function, jumping, and balance. 💪

Turns out the backbone is connected to the knee bone after all!

If knee pain is holding you back, contact our office to schedule an evaluation. 📲

Have you ever wondered why chiropractic adjustments feel so relieving when your neck is stiff and painful? 🤔

Recent research comparing different types of hands-on neck care found that both gentle joint movement and targeted adjustments help improve overall neck flexibility.

However, targeted adjustments led to a quicker reduction in immediate pain and sparked stronger engagement of the supporting neck muscles.

If nagging neck pain is holding you back from enjoying your day, reach out to our team to schedule an evaluation and start your personalized care plan. 📲

What's the best exercise for chronic low back pain? The one you'll actually stick with! 🏃

A review of 70 studies involving nearly 4,000 adults examined how often, how hard, what type, and how long people exercised for chronic low back pain. 📚

Exercising at least 3 times per week was linked to better long-term function than exercising less often. Some approaches, like yoga and exercises that train balance and body control, showed small extra benefits. 💪

So there’s not a single best exercise for chronic low back pain. Instead, choose an exercise that fits your preferences and schedule so you can stay consistent. 🙌

Does your lower back feel stiff and achy? 😣

That stiffness can come from more than one source. Tight muscles and stiff joints often play a role together.

That's why focusing on just one of them may only get you part of the way there. Our approach can combine chiropractic adjustments to help your joints move better with myofascial therapy to ease muscle tension. 👐

Tired of a stiff, achy back? Let’s fix that. 💪

Neck pain and a head that drifts forward? Your mid-back may deserve some attention! 🧍‍♀️

Many people with a forward head posture focus only on neck exercises. But think of your mid-back as the base your neck sits on. 💡

According to a new study, mid-back flexibility exercises performed 3 times per week for 4 weeks led to greater improvements than neck strengthening alone. 💪

Not sure which mid-back exercises to do? We have plenty of recommendations. Contact our office so we can figure out what is best for you! 📲
