Movement is the most powerful medicine on the planet.

Not a supplement. Not a gadget. Not a prescription.
Just moving your body the way it was built to move.

And here’s the part nobody tells you: no copay. No waiting room. No prescription needed.
It’s been free the whole time.

Save this for the next time something feels stiff and your first instinct is to sit it out instead of move through it.

Things I wished patients asked: “Why does my low back hurt so bad during my period?”

If your lower back flares up like clockwork every month, that’s not “just PMS,” it’s worth paying attention to.

Your low back and pelvis are directly connected to your uterus through the nerves and ligaments running through that region. When there’s restriction in your pelvis or lumbar spine, that connection can amplify the pain you feel around your cycle.

Chiropractic care can improve how that area moves and functions, so monthly low back pain isn’t just something you power through.

If your back and your cycle seem to team up on you every month, let’s talk about it.

Foam rolling explained in 15 seconds:
What it actually does (and doesn’t do) for tight muscles.

The key is spending about 90 seconds on each spot. That’s how long it takes to flood the area with enough sensory information to actually create change.

That flood of input is what turns down pain and guarding, opening a short window to move better.

It’s not a fix, it’s a window.

Waterloo, Cedar Valley, and Black Hawk County: if you’re using recovery tools without addressing the actual cause, this is for you.

Ever wonder why chiropractors talk so much about the nervous system?

Your brain is constantly sending messages through your spinal cord and nerves to every muscle, organ, and tissue in your body. Those messages control everything from movement and balance to digestion, sleep, healing, and how your body responds to stress.

When areas of the spine aren’t moving well, it can contribute to irritation or dysfunction within that communication system. A chiropractic adjustment is designed to restore healthy motion to the joint and help reduce interference, allowing your nervous system to communicate more efficiently.

That doesn’t mean adjustments “fix everything.” It means we’re helping create an environment where your body can do what it was designed to do. Adapt, heal, and function at its best.

Every adjustment is about more than relieving pain. It’s about supporting the system that controls every other system in your body.

⏱️ Heads up, this one’s a longer video (~7.5 min), grab a coffee.

Threw 120+ pitches this weekend.
Woke up with hip pain.
Squatted anyway 2 days later.

Not being reckless. Being smart.

I didn’t just push through. I scaled the lift first: lighter load, cleaner range, no explosive stuff right away. I paid attention to every rep.

Once I saw my hip could actually tolerate it, I started pushing a little harder. By the end of the lift, I was even back into some explosive movement.

Walked out of the gym in LESS pain than I walked in with. Even though there was some discomfort during the workout.

That’s the part people get wrong. Discomfort during a set isn’t automatically a red flag.

Here’s how I knew it was safe:
✅ Pain didn’t spike or get worse as I went
✅ Pain didn’t linger or get worse after
✅ It actually settled once I was done

Rest isn’t always the answer. A lot of the time, smart, adjusted movement is.

Most aches and pains? You can train through them.
Often times, you should.

Dr. Jared knows exactly who keeps his nervous system regulated. 😏

These are the moments we do this for.

Every single one of these wins started as someone’s daily struggle. A mom who couldn’t pick up her toddler. A guy who thought he’d never make it through a full shift again. A patient who had given up hope after a decade of pain.

And that’s what gets us up every morning at What’s Next Chiropractic. Not just cracking backs, but watching real people get their lives back. The sleep. The mobility. The moments with their family they thought were gone for good.

We see wins like these walk through our doors every week, and honestly, we never get tired of it.

If you’ve been dealing with pain, exhaustion, or a body that just isn’t cooperating anymore, this could be your sign. Your win could be next.

This is the question I get asked in whispers, like it’s a weird thing to want. It’s not. Your body is doing something different every single trimester of pregnancy, and your care should keep up with it.

First trimester is about calming your nervous system through the hormone chaos. Second is about catching the balance shifts before they turn into pain. Third is about balancing the pelvis for birth.

You don’t need to wait until something hurts to come in.

If you’ve been wondering but felt silly asking, this is me answering before you have to.

Don’t stretch. Strengthen: Tight Calves Edition

Sometimes a muscle feels “tight” because it’s working harder than it has the strength to handle. In those cases, stretching might give temporary relief, but building strength can create a longer-lasting change.

Try this:
• Elevate the front part of your feet so your heels are floating
• Lower your heels, with control, for 3-5 seconds
• Pause for 1–2 seconds at the bottom
• Repeat for 8–12 reps (If you don’t feel the burn after 12 reps, you’re my new hero)

This isn’t the answer for every case of tight calves, but if stretching hasn’t been helping, it may be time to give your calves a different stimulus.

If your calves are always tight after running, lifting, pickleball, or long days on your feet, save this for later.

And if they still won’t loosen up, there’s probably a reason and we’d love to help you figure out why.

Helping active people in Waterloo, Cedar Falls, and the Cedar Valley move better with less pain.
