This month marks 31 years of caring for Novi, and we're grateful for every one of them.

Dr. Karl Tarkanyi opened his chiropractic practice in Novi in 1995, and over three decades, it grew into Chiropractic Performance Solutions, a clinic focused on sport and occupational soft-tissue injuries.

Along the way, he became ART® full-body and nerve-entrapment certified, the first registered provider in Michigan with ART® Biomechanics, Masters, and Elite Provider Network certifications, Advanced Certified in Selective Functional Movement Assessment, and a Titleist Performance Institute Certified Medical Provider through Level 3.

The credentials matter, but the reason we're still here is you. Thank you to the patients, families, and athletes across Novi who've trusted us with everything from nagging headaches to sport injuries, some of you for most of those 31 years.

If you've been part of it, we'd love to hear a favorite memory in the comments!

Deer Bow Hunting season opens October 1 in Michigan, and we'd hate for a complaining shoulder to be the reason a big buck walks off unbothered.

Drawing and holding a bow puts steady demand on the shoulder, elbow, wrist, upper back, and neck, and it does so over and over again. That's exactly the kind of repetition where small restrictions start to matter. A shoulder that doesn't rotate freely can change how comfortably you draw and hold, and elbow or wrist irritation can cut a practice session short well before your form does.

Chiropractic Performance Solutions treats these areas routinely and uses Active Release Technique, a movement-based manual therapy for locating and addressing overuse soft-tissue injuries.

If discomfort has been changing how you shoot, that's usually a signal to have it evaluated rather than compensating around it for another season.

Did you know that October is National Chiropractic Health Month? It's the perfect time to start prioritizing treatments for recurring aches, which we see a lot of patients quietly living with. Instead of asking how to make it stop temporarily, have us determine why it keeps coming back.

This is the whole basis for how Chiropractic Performance Solutions works. The philosophy here is to fix the cause of an individual's problem rather than treat the symptom, which means recurring back discomfort gets examined more broadly, including movement patterns, joint function, soft-tissue restrictions, and overall stability.

Two people can come in with the same complaint and leave with very different plans, because the underlying driver often isn't the same. If you've been managing something chronic for a while, an evaluation can help clarify what's behind it.

Your yard probably needs a fall cleanup, but your back doesn't thrive in the aftermath. A few small adjustments can make a noticeable difference over a long afternoon of raking.

Here are a few tips our team recommends:

▪️Switch sides regularly instead of raking the whole yard with the same repetitive motion.
▪️Move your feet when you change direction rather than planting them and twisting through your lower back.
▪️Take periodic breaks, especially once the leaves are wet and heavier than they look.
▪️Avoid overfilling bags and containers, since the lift at the end is often where people run into trouble.

Chiropractic Performance Solutions works with back pain and repetitive-motion injuries regularly, and seasonal yard work is a common reason people come in. If soreness sticks around for several days or starts limiting how you move, that's a reasonable point to have it looked at.

A full calendar shouldn't mean putting your body last, though that's often how September goes once it gets going in earnest. Stiffness gets tolerated, reduced mobility gets worked around, and a nagging ache turns into something you stop mentioning.

At Chiropractic Performance Solutions, our treatment philosophy is built around fixing the cause of a problem instead of managing the symptom. That typically begins with a detailed movement assessment, followed by Active Release Technique for the soft tissues, chiropractic adjustments for the joints, and guidance on exercises you can do at home to improve stability and support recovery.

You don't have to wait until something seriously disrupts work, exercise, or everyday activity before seeking answers and relief. Learn more about our treatment methods at cpsnovi.com/methods.

Between new school routines and seasonal shifts, this is a good time to put self-care back on the calendar. Once fall settles in, it becomes easier to keep pushing your own wellness to make room for other things.

Chiropractic Performance Solutions pairs chiropractic care with doctor-guided therapeutic massage, and appointments come in 30, 60, and 90-minute lengths so you can choose what fits your day and what your body needs.

Our therapists are often booked about two weeks out, so planning ahead is typically better than calling the morning you're hoping to come in. Connect with us at 248-477-2100 to check availability and reserve a time.

Playing through pain instead of understanding what's causing it can be very damaging, and this time of year is usually when we see this happen. Practices ramp up quickly, and shoulders, elbows, knees, ankles, and backs often start speaking up a few weeks in.

At Chiropractic Performance Solutions, Dr. Karl Tarkanyi specializes in sport and occupational injuries, and the work starts with identifying the biomechanical source rather than repeatedly quieting the symptom.

Depending on what is found during the biomechanical evaluation, that can involve Active Release Technique for the soft tissues, chiropractic adjustments for the joints, and home exercises to build stability. Which pieces get used comes down to the individual.

If something's been nagging for weeks or keeps returning, that's often a sign the underlying issue hasn't been addressed yet. New patients can begin with a free, no-obligation phone consultation with Dr. Karl.

Before the first bell rings, take two minutes with the backpack, because how a pack is loaded and worn matters just as much as what's inside it. Kids grow, gear changes, and a bag that fit fine last spring may be sitting all wrong by fall.

Here are three things to look at:

▪️ Straps: Use both, over both shoulders, and pull them snug so the pack doesn't sway.
▪️ Position: The bag should sit high on the back and stay close to the body rather than hanging down near the hips.
▪️ Load: Pack heavier items closest to the spine so the weight isn't pulling backward.

Repeat that strap, position, and load review every few weeks as books, laptops, and sports equipment come and go. At Chiropractic Performance Solutions, we focus on finding the source of a musculoskeletal problem rather than reacting to the discomfort, and that applies to growing kids, too.

If your child keeps mentioning neck, shoulder, or back soreness, our team is glad to take a look. Reach out today at cpsnovi.com/contact-us.

Some treatments work well together, and massage therapy plus chiropractic care is one of our favorite combinations.

Massage therapy helps reduce muscle tension and improve soft tissue mobility, while chiropractic adjustments help restore proper joint movement and function. When used together, many patients experience:

▪️Improved mobility
▪️Reduced muscle tension
▪️Better movement patterns
▪️Longer-lasting relief

At Chiropractic Performance Solutions, our integrated approach allows our massage therapists and chiropractic team to work toward the same goal: helping you move and feel your best.
