Sports.

School.

Heavy backpacks.

Phones.

Gaming.

Homework.

Jobs.

Repeat.

Teenagers may be young, but their bodies are still dealing with plenty of physical stress.

A teen who repeatedly complains about headaches, neck tension, back discomfort or soreness after activity shouldn't automatically be told:

"You're too young to hurt."

Pain isn't reserved for adults.

We want young patients to learn early that taking care of their bodies, paying attention to movement and speaking up when something doesn't feel right are good habits—not something they should wait until they're 40 to learn.

Neck pain gets attention.

Low back pain gets attention.

Meanwhile, your mid-back is quietly doing a LOT.

Your thoracic spine helps support posture, rotation and upper-body movement—and it interacts closely with your ribs.

When this region isn't moving well, people may describe:

• Stiffness between the shoulder blades
• Discomfort with twisting
• Tightness after sitting
• Feeling like they constantly need to stretch
• Difficulty comfortably taking a deep breath
• Tension that travels toward the neck and shoulders

That's why an examination shouldn't automatically stop at the spot that hurts.

Sometimes understanding how the entire area moves together gives us much more information.

Tiny patients don't need adult-sized adjustments.

They need care designed specifically for tiny bodies. 💙

Pediatric chiropractic looks very different from what many people picture when they think about chiropractic care.

When we work with infants and young children, everything—from the examination to the amount of pressure used—is adapted for their age, size and stage of development.

Why might parents bring their little ones to us?

Sometimes there's a specific concern.

Sometimes they've noticed movement or postural asymmetry.

Sometimes they're simply looking for another member of their child's healthcare team who will take the time to listen, evaluate and explain what we're seeing.

Both Dr. Kirstin and Dr. Dustin enjoy working with children, and there's something pretty special about watching our smallest patients grow. 💙

Your neck called.

It would like to renegotiate the terms of your relationship with your computer. 😂

Hours spent looking down at laptops, phones and tablets can mean hours of sustained stress through the neck and upper back.

You might notice:

😣 Neck stiffness
🤕 Headaches
🔥 Tight shoulders
↔️ Difficulty turning your head
💻 Discomfort after sitting
📱 That constant urge to stretch or crack your neck

We don't just ask, "Where does it hurt?"

We also look at how your neck is moving, what's happening through the surrounding joints and muscles, your posture and what you're asking your body to do all day.

Your neck wasn't designed to be frozen in one position from 8–5.

Give it some movement today. 😉

This weekend, Dr. Dustin and Dr. Kirstin are spending some time away from the office doing something we believe is incredibly important:

Continuing to learn. 📚💙

We’re at the Chiropractic Society of Wisconsin’s 2026 Fall Experience in Wisconsin Dells, learning from some incredible speakers and connecting with chiropractors from across the state.

The weekend has been packed with education surrounding topics like chiropractic technique and clinical care, patient communication, health and wellness, practice growth, and ways we can continue improving the experience we provide for our patients.

One of our favorite parts about continuing education is that we don’t just leave with credits.

We leave with new ideas, new perspectives, refreshed knowledge, and practical things we can bring right back into the office.

We’re always looking for ways to keep growing as doctors so that we can continue providing the best care possible for the people who trust us with their health.

We’re excited to bring what we learned this weekend back to BalancePoint—and put it into practice when we’re back with all of you on Monday. 💙

There is always more to learn, and that’s one of the things we love most about this profession.

🍂 Consider This Your Fall Body Check-In

Before we officially head into October, quick question:
How is your body feeling?

Not how it felt six months ago.

Not the ache you've gotten so used to that you barely think about it anymore.

Right now.

Can you turn your neck comfortably?
How does your back feel getting out of bed?
Are your shoulders constantly tight?
Is that knee still bothering you on the stairs?
Are you moving the way you want to?

Sometimes we get so good at working around little aches, stiffness, and limitations that we forget they weren't always there.

You don't have to wait until something becomes unbearable to pay attention to it.

So as we trade September for October...

🍂 Move your body. Pay attention to it. And take care of it.

We'll see you in October, Wausau. 💙

🔴 LASER FAQ: What Does Class IV Laser Actually Feel Like?

We talk about our Aspen APEX laser quite a bit—but if you've never experienced laser therapy, you probably have questions.

So let's answer some of the common ones.

🔥 Does it hurt?
Generally, no. Class IV laser therapy is non-invasive, and patients commonly experience a comfortable warming sensation over the treatment area.

💉 Are there needles?
Nope.

⏱️ How long does treatment take?
It depends on the area and condition we're treating, but sessions are generally pretty quick.

🔬 What is the laser actually doing?
Our Aspen APEX delivers specific wavelengths of therapeutic light into targeted tissues. That energy is used to support cellular activity, circulation, normal inflammatory processes, and tissue recovery.

🦵 What do you use it for?
Depending on the individual case, we may consider laser therapy for certain muscle, tendon, ligament, joint, and soft-tissue complaints.

We've used it in the office for areas including feet, ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and more.

🤔 Does everyone need laser?

Definitely not.

Laser is another tool available to us—not something that automatically gets used on every patient or every injury.

We first want to understand what you're dealing with and whether laser makes sense for your particular situation.

Have a laser question we didn't answer?

Ask us below or bring it up next time you're in! 🔴

🏈 Your Body Is Your Equipment.

You wouldn't ignore:

A loose cleat.
A cracked helmet.
A bike pulling to one side.

So why ignore it when your body starts moving differently?

A stiff ankle.
A shoulder losing motion.
One hip suddenly tighter.
A stride that feels different.

Pay attention to the little changes before they become the thing that takes you out of the game.

Train. Recover. Repeat. 💪
