There is a version of feeling okay that is not actually feeling okay.

Most people who are not in acute pain would say they feel fine. And they mean it. But fine and genuinely good are not always the same thing.
One of the things I notice most in wellness patients after a few months of regular care is that they did not realize how much they were carrying until it was gone. A tightness in the shoulders they had stopped noticing. Stiffness in the morning they had written off as just getting older. Low-grade discomfort that had become background noise.

The body is remarkably good at adapting. It finds ways to compensate, shifts load to different muscles, changes how you move to protect areas under stress. After a while, that adapted state feels normal.
But compensation has a ceiling. Things build. And the moment it tips over that threshold is usually when you end up in the office unable to put your shoes on.
Wellness care is designed to catch things before they get there. Not because something is dramatically wrong, but because small adjustments made consistently keep the body from having to compensate in the first place.
If you have been feeling okay but not great, that distinction is worth paying attention to.

If you have been dealing with low back pain for a while, it can start to feel like just part of life.

Something you manage around.

Plan your day to avoid flare-ups. Skip things you used to do without thinking.

We hear that a lot in this office. And we want you to know: most of the time, there is a real answer for what is going on.

The most common thing we find is a joint mobility issue combined with a positioning problem. The joints have stopped moving the way they should, the surrounding muscles have tightened to compensate, and the nerves running through that area are under more pressure than they should be.

Once we get the joints moving and take the pressure off, the body stops sending the same pain signals. It takes some consistency, but most patients feel a noticeable shift early in care.

The longer a problem has been building, the more time it can take to work through. We will always be honest about where you are at and what a realistic path forward looks like.

Most people are surprised when leg pain turns out to be a back problem.

They come in for a shooting pain down the leg, numbness in the foot, tension in the hip that nothing seems to touch, and the last place they are thinking to look is the lower spine. But that is often exactly where it starts.

The nerves in the lower back do not stay local. They travel. Down into the legs, into the feet, into the glutes and hips. When the joints in the lower spine stop moving the way they should, or the spine drifts out of its natural position, those nerves feel the pressure. And they communicate it in ways that feel completely disconnected from the back.

We had a patient come in last year convinced something was wrong with his hip. He had seen two other providers. Nobody had looked at the lower spine. We did, found a significant positioning issue, and the hip pain that had been with him for months started clearing up within a few weeks of care.
The spine is a support column. When it sits where it should, everything around it functions the way it is supposed to. When it drifts, the effects show up in places that seem unrelated.

If something has been bothering you and nobody has looked at your spine yet, that is a good place to start.

Pain is your body telling you something is wrong.

Most people treat it as an inconvenience to push through, hope it settles down. And sometimes it does.

But the signal was still there, and whatever generated it usually is too.

When someone comes in with low back pain, one of the first things I want to understand is what type of pain they are dealing with. Pain that flares up with specific activities tells a different story than pain that is constant regardless of what you do. Pain that started after a specific incident, a fall, a heavy lift, a long drive, tells a different story than pain that crept in gradually over months.
The type of pain is the clue. It points us toward whether we are looking at a soft tissue issue, a joint mobility problem, nerve compression, or something with the discs. Each one of those has a different answer.

At this office we do not go straight to treatment before we understand what is going on. We have a conversation first. What does the pain feel like. When does it happen. What makes it better or worse.

Those answers tell us where to look.

Low back pain is the single most common reason people walk through our door. By a wide margin.

I have seen all kinds of patients come in for all kinds of reasons over the years, but low back pain is consistently at the top. And the reason it keeps showing up is that most people wait too long, do not fully understand what is driving it, and are not sure whether a chiropractor can even help.

So let me walk through what we actually see.

The low back hurts for a few distinct reasons.

The most common one is positioning. Your lower back is supposed to have a natural curve to it. When that curve changes, whether from long hours of sitting, repetitive movement, or just how you carry yourself through the day, the spine drifts out of its ideal position and the muscles surrounding it have to compensate.
Those muscles cannot hold that load indefinitely. They tighten, the joints stop moving the way they should, and the nerves running through that area, down into the legs, into the pelvis, into the muscles of the low back, start sending pain signals.

Pain is your body communicating that something is off. Once we get the joints moving and take the pressure off the nerves, the body stops generating the same signals. It takes consistency, but most people are surprised by how manageable the problem actually is.

If low back pain is something you have been dealing with, come in. We will figure out exactly what is driving it.

I'm confident in what I do. But I've never been the kind of person who sits at the top and looks down. I've always felt like I'm down here, working to climb, because the people who come to see me deserve that level of effort. The truth is, I want to keep getting better so I can help every person who walks through our doors.

Following up about about yesterday after getting some questions about it. When I say we don't like guesswork, I mean we don't like guessing if someone has a postural issue, but how to help. When someone comes in with neck pain or headaches and we find tech neck on their X-rays, the question is not just whether they have it.

The question is how far forward is the head, and how far off is the curvature. Those details tell us what to do and how to fix it.

Tech neck happens when hours of sitting at a desk, looking at a screen, or looking down at a phone causes the normal curve in the neck to flatten out. The head drifts forward. The spine changes shape. And the stress that puts on the surrounding structures builds up over time.

The good news: you can reverse it.

Not overnight, but with the right approach, the curvature responds.

Your head weighs about 10 to 12 pounds when it sits directly over your spine.

Move it one inch forward and the effective weight on your neck jumps to around 27 pounds.

Two inches forward: 40 pounds.

Three inches forward: close to 50.

Most people reading this are sitting with their head at least two inches forward right now.

see a lot of tech workers being based in Redmond, a lot of people logging eight, nine, ten hours a day at a screen. Tech neck is one of the most common things we treat, and honestly, one of the things we know best. The population here made us specialists in it.

Chiropractors call it tech neck. And it is not just a posture problem. Hours of that pressure causes real changes to the curvature of the spine, and over time those changes show up as neck pain, shoulder issues, and headaches that people write off as just part of the job.

They are not. They are a structural problem, and we measure them like one.
We do not like guesswork at this office. When a patient comes in, we measure exactly how far forward the head is sitting and how far off the curvature is. That tells us what to fix and how to fix it.

I’m starting to hear the same questions that people genuinely want answers to.

So, if you haven't noticed, I started something new called Health in a Minute.

It's a short email I send directly to patients, once a week, with the tips and answers that come up most often in the office.

The first one went out this week and covered sleep, because nothing the body does to heal and repair itself happens without it. I also try to post here to get the information out to our patient base.

If you are a patient and want to be on the list, send us a message. Spine health works a lot better when the care does not stop at the door.

One of the most honest questions someone has asked me: have I ever felt like I failed a patient?
Every single one I don't help.
