“I thought it was just tight muscles…”

I hear this almost every day.

Neck feels tight.
Lower back feels stiff.
One shoulder always feels higher than the other.
Headaches that come and go.

Most people assume it’s just muscles — so they stretch, massage, foam roll… and the relief never really lasts.

What’s often happening is restricted movement in the spine. When joints aren’t moving properly, the surrounding muscles tighten up to protect the area. Over time, those muscles get tired, sore, and strained from doing more than their share of the work.

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring movement so your body doesn’t have to constantly compensate. When joints move better, muscles can finally relax — and that’s when things start to feel different in a real, lasting way.

If you’ve been chasing relief but it never sticks, it might not be your muscles that need the attention.

A lot of people are surprised to hear that dogs can get chiropractic care, but it actually makes a lot of sense when you think about how much their bodies do every day. Running, jumping, twisting, slipping on floors, playing hard, aging — it all adds up.

Over time, dogs can develop restrictions in the spine and joints, meaning certain areas just don’t move the way they should. When that happens, other parts of the body often have to work harder to compensate, which can lead to muscle tension and strain. Chiropractic care focuses on restoring normal movement so the whole body can function more comfortably 🐾

🦴 Osteoarthritis & How Chiropractic Care Can Help 🩺✨

Osteoarthritis is a common joint condition caused by wear and tear over time. It can affect the spine, hips, knees, shoulders, hands, and other joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

🚨 Common symptoms of osteoarthritis
🔹 Joint pain and aching
🔹 Stiffness (often worse in the morning or after rest)
🔹 Reduced range of motion
🔹 Swelling or joint tenderness

✨ How chiropractic care helps
✅ Improves joint and spinal mobility
✅ Reduces muscle tension and joint stiffness
✅ Supports better posture and movement patterns
✅ Helps manage pain and maintain day-to-day function

🎯 While osteoarthritis can’t be cured, chiropractic care focuses on keeping your joints moving comfortably—helping you stay active, independent, and living well with OA.

Happy Wednesday!
As many of you know, we see a lot of babies and children with issues around oral tension. Many babies we see have a tongue-tie which is impeding their motion. However, it’s also common for babies who do not have tongue-ties to have oral tension which often gives rise to many similar symptoms. Parents can often be frustrated as they’ve sort out help to see if their baby has a tongue-tie and indeed they don’t. This does not mean that there isn’t oral tension causing many of the same issues that a tie can cause. If you believe your baby is struggling with some of these symptoms regardless of whether there is a tongue-tie or not it’s worth seeking out help.
