February Quilt of the Month

As we honor Black History Month, our February quilt of the month highlights the powerful role quilts played in the Underground Railroad. It’s believed that certain patterns were used as secret codes to help guide enslaved individuals to freedom.

These quilts weren’t just beautiful works of art; they were a means of survival, communication, and strength in the face of adversity. This month, we recognize and reflect on the courage of those who traveled the path to freedom and the communities that supported them along the way.

This was a first for me — treating a calf! 🐄

While their anatomy is certainly different from humans, the principles of osteopathy remain the same: restore balance, improve function, and support natural healing.

This little one was so sweet and curious throughout the session. The best part? She gave the most adorable ear wiggles throughout treatment like her way of saying “that feels good.”

It’s moments like these that remind me just how connected we all are, no matter the species.

Let’s Talk TMJ: The Mighty Jaw Joint!

Your TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) is a fascinating structure that plays a huge role in daily activities like talking, chewing, and even yawning. Here’s the breakdown:

📌 It’s a modified hinge joint with a disc (meniscus) that helps it move smoothly.
📌 The muscles of mastication control jaw movement:
- Opening the mouth: Thanks to the lateral pterygoid 🦷
- Closing the mouth: Powered by the medial pterygoid, masseter, and temporalis

When these muscles or the joint itself are out of alignment, it can lead to:
🔹 Jaw pain
🔹 Clicking or popping sounds
🔹 Headaches or neck tension

Osteopathic treatment can help restore balance and relieve tension in the TMJ, improving comfort and function. Say goodbye to jaw discomfort!

One of the primary principles of osteopathic treatment, as rooted in the words of Dr. A.T. Still: “Osteopathy is grounded in the bedrock of natural law.”

One of the primary principles of osteopathic treatment, is rooted in the words of Dr. A.T. Still: “Osteopathy is grounded in the bedrock of natural law.”
Manual osteopathy addresses restrictions and imbalances, it supports the body’s natural healing processes by giving nerve, artery, vein and lymphatic fluid room to flow.

Your body is designed to recover and maintain balance on its own—manual osteopathy simply gives it the support it needs to function at its best. 🌟
Trust in the wisdom of your body and the power of manual osteopathic care to keep you moving and feeling your best!

Slip on Ice? Osteopathy Can Help! 🧊

Winter accidents happen—one moment you're walking, and the next, you’ve slipped and hurt your ankle. But did you know the impact doesn’t just stop at your ankle?
When you injure yourself, your body compensates for the trauma. While the pain may fade, those compensation pattern scans stick around, creating misalignment in your body. Over time, this can lead to:

🔹 Secondary pain
🔹 Increased tension
🔹 Potential injuries elsewhere

That’s where osteopathic manual therapy comes in! Through gentle techniques, osteopathy helps:

✅ Restore alignment
✅ Release tension from compensation patterns
✅ Prevent future pain or injury

Stay ahead of winter mishaps—your body will thank you! 💪
