Heel pain with every step? 👣⚡

Plantar fasciitis—irritation of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of your foot—is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It can make walking, running, or even standing feel painful.

The good news: chiropractic care can help! With foot and ankle adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and guided rehab exercises, we can reduce pain and improve mobility so you can move comfortably again. 🏃‍♀️

How many steps should you aim for each day? ✨

A review of 57 studies shows ~7,000 steps/day = major health benefits:
🔹 Risk of death decreases nearly 50%
🔹 Lower risk of heart disease, dementia, depression, and diabetes
🔹 Even cancer & falls showed improvement

The old “10,000 steps” goal is great, but 7,000 is realistic and impactful!

Have hip pain? It might not just be your hip. 🦴

Sometimes hip pain (like hip impingement, when the joint doesn’t move smoothly) shows up along with problems in the low back or the SI joint—the joint that connects your spine and pelvis. Researchers found:

🔹 Many people with hip issues also have SI joint problems
🔹 Spine problems can sometimes cause hip changes too
🔹 Having both hip and back issues can make recovery slower

👉 Takeaway: Hip pain and back pain often go hand-in-hand. If your hip keeps bothering you, it’s worth checking the whole picture. Call our office today to schedule your appointment! 📞

Migraines can feel impossible to manage, but a combined treatment approach works best!

A new clinical trial found that education, hands-on care, and exercise each help—but when you combine them, patients get the strongest and longest-lasting results. 🙌

Migraines often need a multi-pronged approach. Learn more from our infographic here. https://bit.ly/3PZHQwy

🧩 Did you know your shoulder pain isn’t just about your shoulder?

Frozen shoulder happens when the shoulder becomes stiff, painful, and hard to move. Researchers found that people with frozen shoulder often face:

🔹 Less confidence in handling pain → more daily struggles
🔹 More worry and fear of movement → worse pain and stiffness
🔹 Higher body weight → slower recovery

The takeaway: mind and body matter. Addressing both gives the best chance to regain mobility and ease pain.

Your back muscles play a big role in how your spine feels. 💪

Research shows that people with ongoing low back pain often have weaker muscles and more fatty tissue in their backs—especially in the muscles that help stabilize the spine. Over time, this can make pain worse.

The good news? Stronger, healthier back muscles are linked to less pain and a better quality of life. 🙌

If back pain keeps returning, we can help you build a plan to restore muscle health. Call today or schedule your appointment! 📞
