Did you know that there can be a correlation between neck pain and jaw pain?

TMJD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) can cause pain in the joint and the muscles that control jaw movement.

Signs or symptoms to look for:
😬Pain or tenderness around the jaw, neck, or shoulder
😬Aching facial pain
😬Locking of the joint
😬Headaches
😬Etc

TMJD pain or discomfort is often relieved with conservative care. Working with a musculoskeletal specialist and your dentist is the best first step. Improve the dysfunction, but protecting your teeth in the process.

Did you know chiropractic could help with TMJD?

C SPINE MOBILITY

🌟My 5 go to C spine mobility drills 🌟

Whether it is generalized neck pain, stiffness, or an injury, mobility is an important component to how the c spine allows you to move.

We want to consider how our joints are moving and if they’re moving in all planes of motion. It’s also important to note that mobility exercises are not a ‘one fits all’. Some exercises may not fit YOU or what you have going on but others may be beneficial to incorporate into your routine 😊

It’s also important to note that neglecting the shoulder and thoracic spine can hinder overall improvement. These regions are all connected and often work together in order to perform certain movements. So why leave one out?

📱The next time you’re looking up at your computer screen all day or looking down at your phone, give these a try!

WRIST MOBILITY

🌟My 5 go to wrist mobility drills 🌟

The wrist is involved in many functional activities and is a complex joint that allows for movement of the hand in multiple directions relative to the forearm.

Mobility deficits at the wrist can occur from injuries like falls, sprains, or fractures. They can also occur from lack of mobility, insufficient strength or stability, tight forearm musculature, etc.

We use our wrists for basic movements like eating, typing, and holding our phone. But we also use them for more complex movements like lifting, benching, and carrying.

Anyone who has experienced wrist pain/discomfort these are for you!

The question is…when’s the last time you worked on your wrist mobility?

06/24/2024

SHOULDER MOBILITY

🌟My 5 go to shoulder mobility drills🌟

When shoulder mobility is limited it could lead to muscle tightness, decreased strength, or increased risk of injury.

If mobility is lost in one joint, we tend to compensate in another. This creates problems in other areas and leaves you with the same issue you had in the first place.

With the shoulder, there are a lot of moving parts and we use our shoulders in almost every upper body movement.

So what do you do about it?
Step 1: Establish limitations in your workouts or everyday life movements.
Step 2: Find someone that can develop a game plan for you to determine what is needed for proper recover.

🔑Key takeaway: Motion is lotion. Keep moving! 😊

MID BACK MOBILITY

🌟My 5 go to mid back mobility drills🌟

These are for hairdressers, healthcare workers, people that are sitting at their desk for way too long, breastfeeding mommas, someone who sits in the car all day, or if you’re just needing to add a little movement in.

So in other words…drills for everyone and mobility drills that everyone should be doing.

Thoracic mobility can often help alleviate mid back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain. Decreased mobility in one region makes another work harder, causing problems or pain in adjacent regions.

🔑 Key take away: The more you move, the better you’ll feel. 😊

LOW BACK MOBILITY

🌟My 5 go to low back mobility drills🌟

Research shows that the lifetime prevalence of low back pain is as high as 84%. I can confidently say that in practice I come across patients with low back pain on a daily basis.

✨Reminder✨ that low back pain isn’t normal and pain is your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong. Patients that present with low back pain typically have decreased trunk stability, decreased strength in the muscles surrounding the low back, and/or decreased mobility (in either the low back or the hips).

There are a ton of different options for low back mobility and different ones may work better for you than others, these are just my top five that I use on a regular basis in practice.

🔑 Key take away: Keep your low back mobile and your body will thank you 😊

04/26/2024

NEXT UP: HIP MOBILITY

🌟My 5 go to hip mobility drills🌟

Arguably one of the most important joints to mobilize and my personal favorite.

In all realness, decreased hip mobility could be a significant factor in the frequency of both low back and knee injuries. Our low back and knees begin to compensate for our lack of hip mobility and the result is damaged or injured areas throughout the kinetic chain.

There are a ton of different options for hip mobility, these are just my top five that I use on a regular basis in practice.

🔑 Key take away: Keep your hips mobile, your body will thank you 😊

KNEE MOBILITY

The knee is the largest joint in the human body. Your knee supports your weight, absorbs shock, and facilitates movement.

Knee mobility is crucial for injury prevention and enhancing overall performance. This helps to distribute load evenly throughout the joint and maintain proper mobility and movement.

The hip, knee, and ankle work together and a disruption in one can have an affect on another. Weakness in the hips or imbalances in the foot could potentially lead to poor knee tracking and result in increased stress on the knee joint.

Keep your knees mobile and if you’re experiencing knee pain and mobility isn’t fixing the issue, talk to a provider to see if your hip or feet are causing the issue.

04/05/2024

ANKLE MOBILITY

🌟 My 5️⃣ go to ankle mobility drills 🌟

Train your ankles/feet, they are your foundation!

Ankle mobility is important for compound movements and lifts like squatting or deadlifting. Decreased ankle mobility can cause other problems or compensations in the body over time and could be a contributing factor to things like knee or hip issues.

The best way to tell the difference between a mobility or a soft tissue issue is through an examination, but these mobility drills are a great start!

Try these out, add them to your warm-ups, see how they help, and stay tuned for the video demo next week!

Stretching should NOT be your only warm-up for sports and exercise.

👉🏻Here’s why:
•It doesn’t prepare you for the movements you’re going to be doing
•It doesn’t load or engage the muscles
•It doesn’t decrease injury risk

👉🏻So what should you do instead?
•Start with an aerobic warmup to increase blood flow and reduce muscle stiffness

•Dynamic stretching so that you’re incorporating MOVEMENT (think scoops, lunges with a twist, A steps, B steps, hip airplanes, etc.). Make these movements similar to exercise movements.

•Load your muscles! Use light movements to load the muscles you are going to be using in your sport.

📑Studies show that pre-exercise stretching temporarily decreases muscle power, strength, and exercise performance. So with this new found mobility, your body needs to know how to CONTROL it by loading the muscles and preparing them for your sport.
