💭 Myth Monday: “Chiropractic adjustments are dangerous.”

Dr. Doody explains that chiropractic adjustments are precise, controlled movements applied to specific joints to restore proper alignment and function. The “cracking” sound you sometimes hear is simply the release of nitrogen gas from the joint — not bones breaking.

Adjustments help relieve pressure, reduce pain, and improve mobility safely and effectively.

This or That? 🤔 Stretching or Adjustments?

Dr. Cody Miller from our Kendall Square location breaks down the difference 👇

Stretching and chiropractic adjustments both play a key role in keeping your body moving and feeling its best — but they’re not the same thing.

* Stretching targets tight muscles that limit flexibility and cause tension or soreness.
* Adjustments target stiff or locked-up joints that restrict motion and throw off alignment.
* One can’t fix the other — but together, they’re the perfect combo for lasting relief and better movement.
*
That’s why at our office, we do both.
Because your care should be complete — from muscles and joints — for real, long-term results. 💪

🔥 Chronic Inflammation: The Fire You Can’t See 🔥

A little inflammation is a good thing: it’s how your body heals from injury or illness. But when that response sticks around too long, it becomes chronic inflammation, and that’s where the trouble begins.

Chronic inflammation has been linked to arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, digestive issues, fatigue, and brain fog. It’s like a slow-burning fire that drains your energy and damages tissues over time.

Foods that fuel inflammation:
🚫 Refined carbs and sugar
🚫 Processed and fried foods
🚫 Excess alcohol
🚫 Processed meats

Foods that fight inflammation:
✅ Fatty fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel)
✅ Berries and leafy greens
✅ Olive oil, nuts, and seeds
✅ Spices like turmeric and ginger

Helpful supplements:
💊 Omega-3 fish oil
💊 Turmeric (curcumin)
💊 Vitamin D
💊 Magnesium

(Always talk to your healthcare provider before starting new supplements!)

✨ How Chiropractic Care Helps:
Chronic inflammation often comes with joint stiffness, pain, and poor mobility: all things chiropractic care addresses directly. Adjustments help:

Improve joint motion and reduce local inflammation

Support healthy nerve function

Encourage overall balance and healing

Pairing chiropractic care with an anti-inflammatory diet can help calm the fire and restore your body’s natural balance.

🔥 Eat well. Move well. Feel well. 🔥

🎯 Identifying the difference between sciatica and hamstring tightness 👇

Dr. Sunit Jolly explains:

⚡ Hamstring tightness causes pain only behind the leg — sharp, tight, or dull — but never below the knee.

🔥 Sciatica, on the other hand, can bring tingling, numbness, or pain that travels down the calf, foot, or ankle along the sciatic nerve.

Getting the right diagnosis matters — visit your chiropractor for proper identification and treatment! 💪
