The hips and the lower back are closely related.
A recent review found that people with low back pain have:
✔️ Limited hip range of motion
✔️ Increased activation of the glutes and hamstrings
✔️ Weakness of the hip muscles
That is why when we examine someone with low back pain, we evaluate the whole body to see what other factors are contributing to the pain.

Can chili peppers help with osteoarthritis? 🌶️
One treatment for osteoarthritis is using capsaicin, an ingredient found in peppers, which is thought to help mask joint pain when used correctly in creams and patches.
While chili peppers are great in your salsa, we don't generally recommend rubbing them on your skin!

Can you name all four rotator cuff muscles? 👀
The supraspinatus, the rotator cuff muscle located at the top of the shoulder, is this group's most commonly injured muscle.
Multiple changes can occur in the supraspinatus tendon, like acute inflammation leading to thickening or long-term overloading causing thinning.
But the good news is that exercise helps with both of these tendon issues! 🙌
Oh, and the other three rotator cuff muscles are the infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. Were you able to name all four?

What exactly is carpal tunnel syndrome? ✋
Carpal tunnel syndrome is when the median nerve becomes irritated near the wrist. This leads to numbness and tingling in the thumb, pointer, and middle fingers.
When treating numbness or tingling in the hand, it is important to evaluate the entire upper extremity and then treat problem areas to relieve nerve irritation.

Have you developed elbow pain while doing some outdoor activities? 🤔
Sports like tennis, badminton, and pickleball require the muscles outside the elbow to work harder. And when these muscles are overloaded, they can trigger elbow pain.
A recent study found that including neck and extremity adjustments helped reduce pain and improve function. 🙌
