Struggling with jaw pain, teeth grinding, or tension headaches? Your neck may be playing a bigger role than you realize.

New research shows that when the neck muscles become tired, they can affect how the jaw muscles work. This can make the jaw more sensitive, limit how far you can open your mouth, and increase strain on the muscles you use to chew.

That means treating the jaw alone may not be enough. Addressing neck tension can be key to lasting relief.

If you’ve been experiencing jaw discomfort or grinding, we can help by examining the bigger picture.

Wondering what’s causing your discomfort? Chiropractic care can help identify and treat the root cause to get you moving pain-free again.

Do you have low back pain that just won’t go away?

It might not just be your spine; your muscles could be a significant part of the problem.

A recent review found that muscle knots, also called myofascial trigger points, are common in people with back pain. What are the most affected areas?

✅ Gluteal muscles
✅ Lower back muscles
✅ Deep hip stabilizers

These tight, sensitive spots can contribute to pain and stiffness, especially in chronic cases or when nerve irritation occurs.

The good news is that hands-on treatments that target these trigger points can help reduce pain and improve movement. 💪 Give us a call to get those knots sorted out!

🧠💪 Movement matters—especially for chronic pain.

New research shows that regular physical activity can lower the risk of long-term pain in the neck, back, hips, and even migraines. Sitting too much? That’s linked to more pain.

The benefits were more substantial in people with lower inflammation and better overall health, so personalized care is key.

If pain is holding you back, we can help create a plan that fits your body and goals. Check out this helpful guide for more on physical activity! https://bit.ly/4nDPKwl

🚗 Neck pain after a car accident?

Even low-speed crashes can lead to whiplash, causing stiffness, pain, and reduced range of motion.

Did you know that the strength and tone of your back muscles might be linked to specific changes in your spine?

A recent study found that people with chronic low back pain and Modic changes, which are degenerative changes seen on MRI scans of the spine, tended to have:

🔹 Smaller and weaker back muscles
🔹 More fat in those muscles
🔹 More severe disc problems
🔹 Higher pain levels

Keeping your deep spinal muscles strong and healthy may help manage or even prevent some spine issues.

If you are dealing with ongoing low back pain, it may be more than just your discs. Your muscle health could be playing a big role, too. Check out this infographic for more on Modic classifications!
