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.

If back pain or stiffness is holding you back, contact our team today to schedule an evaluation!

Great review from Angela... "I am a firm believer in chiropractic care and holistic wellness, and I have been very impressed with Dr. Mike’s approach. His practice is focused on educating patients and helping them understand the factors that may be contributing to their health concerns—not simply spending five minutes with you and performing a quick adjustment.

What really stood out to me was Dr. Mike’s genuine compassion and willingness to listen. He takes the time to educate his patients about lifestyle, nutrition, and other approaches that may support the body’s natural ability to heal.

If you have been considering chiropractic care and want to learn more about ways to improve your overall health and wellness, I highly recommend making an appointment with Dr. Mike. You will appreciate the time he takes to listen, educate, and help you consider options you may not have previously explored.

Before making a major decision such as surgery, it may be worth exploring conservative approaches like chiropractic care and wellness first. Everyone’s situation is different, but having the knowledge to make an informed decision about your health is incredibly important.

I highly recommend Dr. Mike and his practice!"

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.

Experiencing TMJ pain? Instead of grinding your teeth, trying to figure it out, let us help! 💡

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!

Great review from Sarah... "Dr. Tarjoman is nothing short of a miracle worker! I first went to Allvitae Health and Chiropractic after developing a severe case of frozen shoulder in both shoulders. Over several months, the pain and stiffness had progressively gotten worse to the point that everyday tasks—getting dressed, reaching for my seat belt, and even simple movements—had become difficult. Sleeping was by far the worst. Everything hurt, and I couldn’t find a comfortable position to get a good night’s rest.

After just a few treatments with Dr. Mike, along with his recommendations for changing my pillow and sleeping position and doing specific exercises at home, I feel like a new woman! I’m genuinely amazed by how much better I feel and how dramatically my range of motion has improved.

Beyond the results, the entire experience at Allvitae has been wonderful. The facility is beautiful, calm, and incredibly clean, and the staff is warm, welcoming, and truly prioritizes your comfort and well-being.

I’ve been so impressed with Dr. Mike that I’ve brought my children to see him as well—and he has helped them tremendously too! I’m incredibly grateful for the care we’ve received and would highly recommend Dr. Mike and the entire Allvitae team."
