If you deal with headaches at the base of the skull, one-sided head pain, or headaches that seem connected to neck stiffness, this is worth reading.

Waking up with neck pain may not be “just how you slept.”

In many cases, your pillow may be placing your neck in a poor position for hours at a time—contributing to stiffness, muscle tension, headaches, or even symptoms into the shoulders and arms.

In this article, Dr. Jason Hagman explains what actually matters when choosing a pillow for neck pain, why pillow height is often more important than the material, and how side sleepers and back sleepers should evaluate whether their pillow is helping or hurting.

Before buying another “orthopedic” pillow, read this first.

You may have heard the word “subluxation” in a chiropractic office—but what does it actually mean?

In this article, Dr. Hagman explains the difference between a medical subluxation, a chiropractic subluxation, spinal dysfunction, and segmental/somatic dysfunction—terms that are often misunderstood or used interchangeably.

More importantly, he explains why these functional problems can affect not only pain, but also mobility, posture, nerve irritation, muscle tone, and overall musculoskeletal health.

If you have ever wondered what chiropractors are actually evaluating and treating when they discuss spinal dysfunction, this article provides a clear, practical explanation.

Spinal stenosis is often described as a “wear-and-tear” condition, but that does not mean the only option is to wait until symptoms become severe.

For many people, early signs such as leg aching, numbness, cramping, back discomfort, or difficulty walking longer distances may point to changes in the spine that deserve closer attention.

The important question is this:

Can spinal stenosis be managed without surgery?

In many cases, a conservative, nonsurgical approach may help reduce symptoms, improve spinal function, and support better long-term mobility.

In this article, I explain what spinal stenosis is, why symptoms can come and go, and which nonsurgical treatment strategies may help in this article:

Movement Tip of the Month: Take a “movement break” before your body asks for one.

If you sit for long periods, try standing up every 30–45 minutes and doing 3 simple movements:

- Gently roll your shoulders back
- Turn your head side to side
- Stand tall and extend your hips by lightly squeezing your glutes

These small movement breaks can help reduce stiffness, improve posture, and keep your spine and joints feeling better throughout the day.

At the Springfield Chiropractic Center, we believe better movement is an important part of better health.
