Ever read an MRI report for your lower back and felt overwhelmed? 😟 Don’t panic! Sometimes, those findings sound scarier than they really are—and they might not even be the cause of your pain.

For example, a recent study showed that changes in the lower back weren’t always linked to serious problems. 📚 This is why it’s so important to look at the big picture: your symptoms, physical exam, and imaging together.

The good news? Conservative care, like chiropractic treatment, can often help you feel better without jumping to extreme solutions. 🙌

Why is it important to rehab an ankle after a sprain? 🤔

Many people follow the rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) protocol after an ankle sprain until the pain subsides. Once the pain is gone, they resume all their everyday activities.

The issue is that the function of the ankle might not be the same as before.

A recent review found that those with chronic ankle instability have different walking mechanics, which can increase the risk of suffering another ankle sprain!

This is why restoring ankle mobility and strength following an ankle sprain is important! 🙌

So, while strengthening the core muscles is an effective approach, it's not the only approach that works! 🙌
