TMZ recently shared a video of LeAnn Rimes getting a deep jaw release- and her emotional reaction caught a lot of attention.

As someone who treats TMJ daily and uses this exact technique, I want to add some context.

Yes… it can look intense.
And yes, releasing the internal pterygoid is uncomfortable.

But here’s the reality: it’s a few seconds of discomfort that often creates immediate, noticeable relief.

The jaw is deeply connected to the nervous system. So when that tension finally lets go, it’s not unusual to see an emotional release- like tearing up or even crying.

That response isn’t about pain.
It’s about the body letting go of built-up stress it’s been holding onto.

If you’ve been dealing with jaw tension, clicking, or pain- this might be the missing piece. DM or contact us for more information at 787-363-5860

There’s a perception that chiropractors vs physiatrists = rivalry

In some circles… that’s true.
But here’s what patients actually need to know 👇

⸻
Both chiropractors and physiatrists evaluate, diagnose, and treat musculoskeletal disorders:

• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Joint pain
• Nerve-related symptoms

Same goal:
👉 Help you move better and hurt less

⸻
So what’s the difference?

It’s not about who’s “better” or “right.”
It’s about how treatment is approached.

⸻
Chiropractic care focuses on:

• Joint mechanics
• Hands-on treatment (manipulation, mobilization)
• Nervous system function
• Active patient participation through movement + lifestyle

⸻
Physiatry (PM&R) focuses on:

• Medical management of pain
• Medications when needed
• Interventional procedures (like injections)
• Rehabilitation coordination

⸻
Who should you see?

Both can be evidence-based.
Both can order imaging when needed.

👉 It depends on YOU:

• Your symptoms
• Your goals
• Your preferences (want to avoid meds?)
• The provider—not their title

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

⸻
The real issue isn’t the profession.

It’s when care becomes:

• Protocol-driven instead of individualized
• Passive instead of empowering
• Ego-driven instead of patient-centered

⸻
At the end of the day:

It’s not chiropractor vs physiatrist.
It’s about finding the right approach for your body, your goals, your life.

Choose a provider who:

• Listens
• Explains your options
• Has a clear plan
• Focuses on function—not fear

That’s where results happen.

⸻
Not sure where to start?

Start somewhere.
Ask questions.
Understand your options.
Advocate for your body.

Choose the provider who actually listens.

Chiropractic Research Confirms What Chiropractors Have Known All Along: It’s not just about back pain.

⸻

The Study: “The effects of 12 weeks of chiropractic spinal adjustments on physiological biomarkers in adults: A pragmatic randomized controlled trial” By Imran Amjad et al.

Researchers analyzed:
• Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)
• IL-6
• TNF-α
• IFN-γ
• Long-term cortisol
• Immune cell activity

Not posture.
Not pain scores.
Biology.

⸻

What Increased After 12 Weeks of Adjustments:

↑ BDNF (Same marker linked to exercise & learning)
→ Supports brain adaptability & neuroplasticity

↑ IL-6 (associated with muscle repair)

↑ Immune cell activity
→ Enhanced immune responsiveness

⸻

What Decreased (Compared to Sham Group):

↓ TNF-α (Harmful inflammatory marker)
↓ IFN-γ (Inflammatory signaling)
↓ Long-term cortisol (Chronic stress hormone)

Less inflammatory signaling.
Less chronic stress load.

⸻

What This Actually Means: Adjustments don’t just move joints!

They influence:
• Brain adaptability
• Immune balance
• Stress physiology

That’s systems-level change. The spine houses and protects the nervous system. When spinal function improves,
there may be broader effects on how the body regulates STRESS, INFLAMMATION, and REPAIR.

More research is always needed- but findings like this continue to expand how we understand chiropractic care.

¿Ese dolorcito en la rodilla por uso repetitivo?
El que no te detiene… pero hace todo un poquito más incómodo?

Muchas veces eso es sobrecarga temprana del tejido blando.

Con el tiempo, pequeñas cantidades de estrés repetido (escaleras, ejercicios, caminar, estar de pie, cargar peso, etc.) pueden sobrepasar la capacidad de recuperación del tejido → causando irritación en estructuras como el tendón rotuliano, el tendón del cuádriceps o la fascia alrededor.

En vez de esperar a que se convierta en algo que realmente me limite, estoy usando:

✔️ Movilización de tejido blando asistida por instrumentos (Técnica Graston)
✔️ Terapia de Luz Roja para apoyar la recuperación del tejido local

Objetivo: mejorar la tolerancia a la carga antes de que se convierta en una tendinopatía crónica.

Porque “seguir empujando a través del dolor” funciona… hasta que deja de funcionar.

Si tienes ese dolorcito en la rodilla que aparece y desaparece pero nunca se va del todo- quizás es momento de atenderlo antes de que te pase factura.

⸻

That low-grade knee pain from repetitive use?
The one that doesn’t stop you… but makes everything slightly more annoying?

That’s often early soft tissue overload.

Over time, small amounts of repeated stress (stairs, workouts, walking, standing, lifting, etc.) can exceed your tissue’s ability to recover → leading to irritation around structures like the patellar tendon, quad tendon, or surrounding fascia.

Instead of waiting until it becomes something that actually limits me, I’m using:

✔️ Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (Graston Technique)
✔️ Red Light Therapy to support local tissue recovery

Goal: improve load tolerance before it turns into chronic tendinopathy.

Because “pushing through it” works… until it doesn’t.

If you’ve got that nagging knee pain that keeps showing up but never fully leaves- it might be time to deal with it before it deals with you.

Stress isn’t just all in your mind 🧠 it affects the spine and your nervous system.

When you’re stressed, your body tightens to protect you.
Shoulders lift, jaw clenches, neck stiffens.

When your muscles stay tight too long, the surrounding joints stop moving properly- causing our nervous system to be altered through information sent to the brain by mechanoreceptors. This just progresses to a protective loop of more muscle guarding and joint dysfunction.

The chiropractic adjustment isn’t just “cracking bones”. It’s a “reset” of your nervous system. Restores joint movement, stimulates mechanoreceptors to modulate sympathetic tone and reduces less muscle guarding (and thus pain 🙌🏼)

Stress may be unavoidable but chronic pain and tension doesn’t have to be. Schedule a visit with us today. 787-363-5860

¿Alguna vez te han dicho “todo se ve normal” pero todavía te duele?

Hot take: 40 is still young. If you feel “old” at 40, it’s rarely about age or decline—it’s almost always about lifestyle.

We’ve normalized aches and pains. And now, as perimenopause content floods social media, chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation are often being mislabeled as hormonal decline.

Your body isn’t failing you- it’s asking for maintenance. Sleep, movement, nutrition, stress management matter. And supporting your nervous system through hands-on care matters too- because healing doesn’t happen in survival mode.

Lots of MDs say they don’t “believe” in chiropractic or refuse to give their patients a referral, then turn around and prescribe Flexeril for back pain. Here’s why it’s worth calling out:

Despite its prevalence of use, research repeatedly found only “modest” short-term pain relief from skeletal muscle relaxers for acute low back pain (~a few days to 2 weeks) and carry side-effects such as drowsiness. There is no evidence that they are effective for sub-acute, chronic back pain or long-term use. Clinical guidelines often list muscle relaxers as an option NOT FIRST-LINE- and recommend non-drug conservative care for most back pain.

•The American College of Physicians treatment guidelines for low back pain recommend non-drug options FIRST including spinal manipulation, manual therapy like massage, superficial heat and acupuncture.

•A randomized clinical trial found chiropractic adjustments reduced pain more than muscle relaxants or placebo for subacute low back pain- A Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Chiropractic Adjustments to Muscle Relaxants for Subacute Low Back Pain. Kathryn T. Hoiriis et al. (2004)

•SMT is associated with modest improvements in pain and function in acute back pain and is among the few non-surgical treatments with evidence of benefit- Paige NM, Miake-Lye IM, Booth MS, et al. Association of Spinal Manipulative Therapy With Clinical Benefit and Harm for Acute Low Back Pain: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. JAMA. (2017)

If you’re offered a muscle relaxant for low back pain, ask: “Is this to get me through a few painful days, or do you expect it to fix the problem long-term?”

I often have patients telling me that their medical doctors don’t “believe” in chiropractic as if we are Santa clause or the Easter Bunny. The truth is that chiropractic works and is supported by real patient results and scientific research that is growing every day.

Yes the roots of the chiropractic profession are metaphysical, but just like the medical profession 150 years ago- modern chiropractic has EVOLVED.

In fact, spinal manipulation therapy can be found in other professions (osteopathy and physical therapy for example) because they know it works too.

Anyone who says they don’t “believe” in chiropractic means they don’t understand, are misinformed or simply are not aware of the how and why it works.
