Does it feel like you’re stepping on LEGOs during your runs? 🧱👣

That sharp heel pain could be plantar fasciitis, a common problem for runners and active adults.

Research shows that supportive insoles may help reduce stress on the plantar fascia and ease pain. But they’re usually just one part of a bigger treatment plan.

A complete approach may include checking:

✅ Foot and ankle movement
✅ Lower leg strength and balance
✅ Running and walking mechanics

Don’t let heel pain slow you down. Watch this video to see what chiropractic care can do to help. https://youtu.be/lkPJARZB0qs

Are you getting at least 150 minutes of exercise each week? 🏃

Regular physical activity may be one of the simplest ways to help prevent low back pain. A study of more than 13,000 people found that staying active can lower your risk.

Your back health is also connected to other healthy habits, including:

💤 Getting quality sleep
🧠 Supporting your mental well-being
🤝 Staying socially connected
🍷 Limiting alcohol

Small, healthy habits can make a big difference for your spine. Check out this exercise guide to see how you’re doing! https://chiroup.short.gy/6p1VLq

Be sure to check with your healthcare provider before starting or changing an exercise program.

Could your feet be connected to your back pain? 👣

Your body works as a connected chain from head to toe. Research shows that flat feet and collapsed arches can affect your posture and place extra stress on your lower back over time.

The good news? Looking at your foot alignment, posture, movement, and spinal health can help identify factors contributing to your discomfort.

Did you know that chronic acid reflux (GERD) can increase your risk of jaw pain? 😬

A large study of over 150,000 adults found a direct connection between GERD and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

Hands-on care is effective for relieving jaw tightness and pain, but finding long-term relief also requires looking at the bigger picture. 🔎 Conditions occurring elsewhere in the body, such as reflux, can directly affect your jaw health.

This is why we take a comprehensive history to identify all the factors that may be contributing to your pain.

Think carpal tunnel is just from typing too much? ⌨️

Not always. Research shows that conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking can make carpal tunnel symptoms worse by increasing inflammation.

Carpal tunnel is about more than just your wrist—your overall health matters, too.

If hand pain or tingling is getting in your way, schedule an appointment with us to find the right treatment for lasting relief.

Could your shoulder pain actually be a neck issue?

When you experience pinching or pain while reaching overhead, it makes sense to focus all your attention on the shoulder itself. But a new clinical study found that you might want to take a look at the neck as well.

In patients with subacromial shoulder pain, researchers found that adding hands-on treatment to the neck improved pain and function more than exercise alone!

If you have been stretching and strengthening your shoulder pain and not seeing results, make an appointment with our clinic today!

Are you tired of constantly icing your Achilles, shoulder, or elbow without seeing any real progress?

A new research review found that icing may not be effective for ongoing tendon pain. That’s because many chronic tendon issues are now understood as tendinopathy, involving degenerative changes in the tendon tissue rather than just inflammation.

The right approach focuses on targeted movement and progressive strengthening to help rebuild tendon health.

Does lifting your arm make you hesitate? 💪

When you are living with shoulder pain, every movement can feel like a gamble. It is completely normal to feel nervous about moving or lifting your arm because nobody wants a painful flare-up.

Avoiding movement may seem like the safest choice, but gentle, progressive exercise is often the key to reducing pain, building strength, and restoring confidence.

You don't have to figure it out alone.

If shoulder pain is holding you back, schedule an appointment with us and let us help you get moving again!
