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! 📲

Did you develop a headache after a head or neck injury? You’re not alone. 🤕

Research found that more than 60% of people with mild head or neck trauma experienced headaches after their injury.

Head and neck injuries can place stress on the upper neck and may contribute to ongoing headaches. Evaluating your neck’s movement and function can help identify factors that may be contributing to your pain.

Could changing the foods on your plate help lower your cholesterol? 🥑🥜

The Portfolio Diet focuses on several cholesterol-lowering foods, including nuts, soluble fiber, plant sterols, and plant-based proteins.

Research suggests that combining these foods may have a meaningful impact on LDL cholesterol, making your overall dietary pattern more important than any single “superfood.”

Check out this infographic to learn more about the Portfolio Diet and the foods it includes. https://chiroup.short.gy/1vIxR9

Chronic neck pain that just won’t go away? Your vision and balance may be worth considering. 👀

New research suggests that adding vision and balance exercises to standard neck care may improve pain and neck function.

When your eyes and inner ear aren't communicating properly with your brain, your neck muscles tense up to compensate.

Real relief starts with a thorough exam to find out exactly where the disconnect is. Ready to get back to moving pain-free? Call our office today to get on our schedule.

Can you bend your joints farther than most people? 🤸

You might have joint hypermobility. While being flexible isn't necessarily a problem, excessive joint movement can sometimes be associated with pain, instability, or other symptoms.

The goal isn't always to become less flexible. Building strength, improving control, and learning how to manage your range of motion can be important for supporting hypermobile joints.

Check out this infographic to learn more about hypermobility and what it means for your joints. https://chiroup.short.gy/EzBhEo
