When a patient seeks chiropractic care for a condition like neck pain or low back pain, it’s natural to assume the underlying cause is located in the region where the patient feels symptoms. But this isn’t always the case.

Sometimes, the primary or contributing factor to the patient’s chief complaint can be elsewhere in the body. "Just this week, while stretching a patient's hamstrings, his dormant neck pain was reproduced."

This July 2024 study involving patients with cervical myelopathy helps illustrate this point....

It’s estimated that approximately 7.5% of the global population experiences at least one episode of low back pain each year. Most cases of low back pain are classified as non-specific, meaning there is no identifiable underlying pathology such as an infection, tumor, osteoporosis, or inflammatory disorder. One anatomical structure in the lower back that can significantly contribute to non-specific low back pain is the thoracolumbar fascia.

Experiencing hip pain? There are several causes of hip pain, and it is important to find out the cause, before damage occurs.

One common type of hip pain is FemoAcetabular Impingement (FAI). It usually presents with a sharp pain in the groin with certain hip movements. The condition is caused when extra bone grows along the “ball” or “socket” aspect of the joint giving the bones an irregular shape. Because they do not fit perfectly anymore, the bones rub against softer tissue, and can cause pain, limping, stiffness, and eventually, damage to the joint capsule, which could require surgery.

The socket portion is called the acetabulum is part of the pelvis, the ball portion is the head of the femur. Each are lined with slippery cartilage and encapsulated by a softer labrum. The irregular bone growth can rub up against the labrum, causing micro tears.

The good news is that this can be diagnosed with simple orthopedic tests in the office, and possibly x-rays. Caught in time, treatment may be as simple as targeted stretches and strengthening exercises performed at home.

If you are experiencing hip pain of any kind, it is best to get evaluated as soon as possible.

I don't have any opinion on the content, just thought I would share.

For decades, I had been sleeping on whatever pillow I found at the department store. Usually, these pillows were just run-of-the-mill designs with standard qualities, but I just wasn’t getting what I really needed out of them. Every time I would sleep on my side, my head would be at a weird angle ...
