: It's not your typical day for Dr. Lopes at 361 Degrees Chiropractic Sports & Wellness today! In case you missed all the excitement that the sport of CURLING brough to the Milano Winter Olympics, don't worry, Melanie will be helping out as a Sports Chiropractor at the new Rock League!

🥌 The Rock League is the world's first professional, mixed-gender curling league, launched in April 2026 by The Curling Group.

🥌 It features six global franchises designed to modernize the sport, featuring faster gameplay, tighter rules, and spectator-focused interaction.

🥌 It will include teams like Maple United (Canada), Shield Curling Club (Canada), and Northern United (Europe).

🥌 It operates independently of, but in partnership with, traditional curling circuits.

🥌Games consist of seven ends with faster shot clocks to increase intensity. It introduces new scoring, such as a two-point bonus for covering the pinhole on the final end.

🥌 Matches are streamed on RockChannel.com and CBC Gem.

🥌Players receive salaries, not just prize money, aiming for a professionalization of the sport.

🥌The league is aimed at growing the game worldwide by providing an exciting, fast-paced version of the sport.

: Shoulder pain isn’t always a shoulder injury.

One condition we look out for is Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR)—an inflammatory condition that can mimic muscle or joint problems. Let's fill you in!

➡️ WHAT IS POLYMYALGIA RHEUMATICA?

▪ It is an inflammatory disorder causing severe muscle pain and stiffness, particularly in the shoulders, neck, and hips.

▪ It’s not a muscle injury—the pain comes from inflammation around joints and soft tissues (like bursae and tendons).

▪Unlike typical injuries, PMR is systemic (whole-body inflammation)—not just a local tissue issue.

➡️WHAT CAUSES PMR?

▪ The exact cause isn’t fully known, but it’s thought to involve:

✅Immune system dysregulation (autoimmune/inflammatory process)
✅Possible genetic predisposition
✅Sometimes triggered after infections or environmental factors


➡️DEMOGRAPHICS INVOLVED

▪ Adults over age 50 (most common 65–80)
▪ More common in women than men
▪ Higher prevalence in people of Northern European descent

➡️ COMMON SYMPTOMS

▪ The most common PMR symptoms affect your muscles, including:
Pain, Stiffness, Weakness

▪ Bilateral shoulder pain (most common)
▪ Hip/thigh stiffness
▪ Severe morning stiffness (>45–60 minutes)
▪ Difficulty with: getting out of bed, lifting arms, getting up from a chair

🛑Other possible symptoms: fatigue, low-grade fever, weight loss or a general “flu-like” feeling.

👉 Key feature: stiffness > pain, especially in the morning

➡️ HOW IS IT DIAGNOSED?

▪ There’s no single test, so diagnosis is based on a combination of:

1️⃣ Clinical Presentation
Age >50, Bilateral shoulder pain, Morning stiffness

2️⃣ Blood Tests
Elevated inflammatory markers: ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), CRP (C-reactive protein)

3️⃣ Response to Treatment
Rapid improvement with low-dose corticosteroids is a strong indicator

4️⃣ Imaging (sometimes)
Ultrasound or MRI may show inflammation in: bursae, joints

➡️HOW DO YOU TREAT POLYMYALGIA RHEUMATICA?

▪ Corticosteroids:
Low-dose prednisone is most common
Patients often feel dramatic improvement within days
Medication is slowly reduced over months to years

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

🛑This is why we believe that proper assessment matters!

🛑If your pain feels:
✔ on both sides
✔ very stiff in the morning
✔ not improving with typical rehab

…it may need further medical evaluation.

🛑Because not all pain is treated the same—and getting the right diagnosis is key. Send us a DM if you have any questions about PMR or your symptoms!

: With spring here, and the rain washing the winter away, don't you feel like Mother Nature is allowing you to start anew this season? Let this be a reminder that you too can start with something new today!

🌺A reminder that new beginnings don’t have to be big— they can start with a simple decision.

🌺This past long weekend could've been a nice reset for you. A chance to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with how you want to take care of your body.

🌺It's not about perfection.

🌺 It's not about extremes.

🌺It's just about choosing to move forward with more intention:

✔ How you eat
✔ How you move
✔ How you take care of yourself
✔ How you treat others

🌺Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is start again.

: With it being Good Friday today, we thought it was perfect timing to talk about FASTING and its benefits!

➡️WHAT IS FASTING

▪ Fasting is the intentional abstinence from food (and sometimes drink) for specific periods, ranging from hours to days, for health, spiritual, or therapeutic reasons.

➡️COMMON TYPES OF FASTING

▪ Intermittent Fasting (IF):
Cycles between periods of eating and fasting (e.g., 16/8 method).

▪ Alternate-Day Fasting:
Fasting every other day.

▪ Extended Fasting:
Longer periods (e.g., 48-hour fasts) sometimes used for deep cellular repair.

➡️ WHAT ARE THE KEY BENEFITS FROM FASTING?

▪ Weight Loss & Fat Reduction:
By lowering calorie intake and boosting metabolism, fasting helps reduce weight and visceral fat.

▪ Insulin Sensitivity & Diabetes Prevention:
Fasting lowers insulin levels and improves sensitivity, lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes.

▪ Autophagy (Cellular Repair):
During fasting, cells clean out damaged proteins and components, which can reduce the risk of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

▪ Heart Health:
It improves blood pressure, resting heart rate, and cholesterol levels.

▪ Brain Health:
Fasting can boost cognitive function, boost verbal memory, and protect against stroke and neurodegenerative disorders.

▪ Reduced Inflammation:
Studies indicate that fasting lowers markers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein

🛑IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:

Fasting may cause side effects like hunger, dizziness, headaches, or irritability. It is not suitable for everyone, particularly those with a history of eating disorders, pregnant individuals, or those with diabetes requiring strict medication timing. Always consult a healthcare professional before making drastic changes to your diet.

: Today is World Autism Awareness Day 💙This year’s theme is: "Every life has value."

🛑"Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition affecting how individuals perceive the world and interact with others, characterized by unique social communication challenges, sensory processing differences, and restricted or repetitive behaviors."

🛑Autism is not a disease or illness, but a different way of processing information.

🛑"The autism spectrum is not a straight line from ‘less autistic’ to ‘more autistic.’ Instead, the term ‘spectrum’ refers to how an autistic person functions in each of these areas." [See 📷 by ]

🛑 According to the World Health Organization: "Evidence shows that early identification, inclusive education and nurturing care in families and communities can significantly improve health, well-being and participation."

💙Autism is not one single experience—it exists on a spectrum.

💙Some autistic individuals are non-verbal, while others are highly articulate. Strengths often include attention to detail, high productivity, and analytical thinking.

💙That means individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder may experience differences in:

• communication
• social interaction
• sensory processing
• movement and coordination

💙Key traits that are associated with AUTSTIM include: difficulties with social interaction, non-standard learning, intense interests, a preference for routines, and high sensitivity to sensory input (sounds, lights).

💙Some individuals may need significant support, while others live independently—but every experience is valid.

💙Understanding the spectrum helps us:

✔ build more inclusive communities
✔ reduce stigma
✔ support each individual’s unique strengths

💙At 361 Degrees Chiropractic Sports & Wellness , we believe in meeting each person where they’re at— creating a space that supports comfort, trust, and progress.

💙 Because every person deserves to be seen, supported, and valued 💙
