Do your hips or lower back feel tight after sitting, driving or exercising?

The psoas and other hip-flexor muscles connect the hips, pelvis and lumbar spine. When movement becomes restricted, the lower back can compensate during standing, walking, running and exercise.

Our comprehensive approach can include chiropractic adjustments, hip mobilization, Active Release Technique, Class IV laser therapy, acupuncture, massage and corrective exercises.

Lower back pain can involve more than one structure. Lumbar discs, facet joints, sacroiliac joints, tight hip muscles, weak core or gluteal muscles, and walking or running mechanics can all contribute to pain and stiffness.

Our new article explains the common causes of lower back pain, symptoms that can travel into the leg, and how we combine chiropractic care, spinal decompression, Class IV laser therapy, acupuncture, Active Release Technique, joint mobilization, electrical stimulation, and corrective exercises at The Healing Joint in Scottsdale.

That ache along the inside of your shoulder blade deserves a closer look. It could involve the dorsal scapular nerve, your neck, or the surrounding muscles and joints. Our new article explains how we evaluate the symptoms and build a treatment plan around what we find.

Pain between your shoulder blades that keeps returning? Let’s look beyond the sore spot.

The dorsal scapular nerve connects the neck to muscles that help control the shoulder blade. It’s one possible piece of the picture—and the reason a focused exam matters.

Dr. D explains it in our new article. Read it through the link in our bio, or message The Healing Joint to schedule an evaluation.

Pain along the inside of the shoulder blade isn’t always “just a tight muscle.”

One possible source is irritation of the dorsal scapular nerve, which helps control muscles like the rhomboids and levator scapulae. When this area becomes irritated, you can feel aching, burning, tightness, or pain from the neck into the upper back and shoulder blade.

At The Healing Joint in Scottsdale, we look at the neck, upper back, muscles, joints, and nerve pathways together instead of treating only the spot that hurts.

Treatment can include chiropractic adjustments, Active Release Technique, laser therapy, acupuncture, stretching, and corrective exercises depending on what we find.

If that nagging pain between your neck and shoulder blade keeps coming back, it may be worth looking deeper.

Rear-end and T-bone crashes can create very different injury patterns.

After an accident, pain may show up in the neck, shoulder, ribs, chest wall, upper back, or head—even when the damage to the vehicle does not look dramatic.

Dr. Rambod Derakhshani evaluates the whole pattern, not just the most painful spot. Our new guide explains what to watch for, when to seek urgent care, and how we approach recovery when conservative care is appropriate.

A low-speed crash can still leave you with neck, shoulder, rib, chest-wall, upper-back, or headache symptoms.

Rear-end impacts and T-bone collisions load the body differently. That is why a proper evaluation should look beyond the one place that hurts the most.

Our new guide explains:
• common post-accident shoulder, rib, and neck symptoms
• when emergency care is needed
• why side-impact crashes deserve their own evaluation
• how The Healing Joint approaches recovery when conservative care is appropriate
