🔥 Feeling stiffer in this summer heat?

You're not imagining it.

When temps rise, your joints can swell, muscles tighten, and fatigue hits faster, and ever MORE if you're already dealing with nagging pain or inflammation.

But the good news? There are ways to beat the heat (and the pain):

✅ Hydrate more than you think you need. Dehydration makes joint pain worse. Water keeps tissues cushioned and flexible.

✅ Use cooling breaks. A damp towel on your neck or wrists can help regulate your body temp and reduce swelling.

✅ Keep moving, but pace yourself. Gentle mobility exercises keep things loose. Don’t overdo it just because the sun’s out.

We help patients every summer who say, “I thought it was just the heat.”

And it is, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with it.

✈️ New blog just dropped!

Neck pillows.

You see them everywhere. They're looped around necks, strapped to luggage, worn like badges of honor before the flight even boards.

But here’s the thing most people don’t know:

👉 That comfy-looking pillow? It might be wrecking your neck.

In this blog, Dr. James (our co-owner, spine expert, and travel-season observer) breaks down what really matters when it comes to neck support on the go.

💥 When they help.
😬 When they hurt.
✅ And what to use instead if you want to avoid that “can’t-turn-my-head” feeling after a long flight.

🚗✈️ Headed out on a long trip?
Your posture could be the difference between arriving refreshed… or feeling wrecked.

Here’s how to keep your body happy on the road (or in the air):

✅ 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 – A small pillow or rolled towel behind your lower back helps protect your spine’s natural curve.

✅ 𝗔𝗱𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 – Make sure your hips are slightly higher than your knees to reduce pressure on your low back.

✅ 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘅 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 – Grip the wheel, not your stress. Drop your shoulders and check in often.

✅ 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 – Don’t sit still for hours. Change your position, stretch a little, and get the blood flowing.

💡 Small adjustments = big relief.

If long trips leave you stiff, sore, or out of alignment, we can help you fix it!

🚗 Long drives aren’t just tough on adult. Kids feel it too!

If your little one ends up cranky, stiff, or slouched in the backseat, these 5 tips can make a big difference in how they feel during and after the trip:

1️⃣ 𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 – Let them stretch or get out at rest stops. Even a quick walk around the car helps shake off stiffness.

2️⃣ 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀 – Tired, dehydrated kids tend to slump. Keep water and easy snacks within reach.

3️⃣ 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 – A good fit supports the spine and helps them stay upright, not curled over.

4️⃣ 𝗡𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 – Bring a small pillow or travel cushion to avoid awkward neck angles during naps.

5️⃣ 𝗔𝗱𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗯𝗲𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗹𝘆 – Belts should lie flat across the chest and hips, not digging into the neck or stomach.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 We help parents all the time with real strategies to make travel easier on young bodies, because comfort matters for the whole family.

✈️ Flying soon? Don’t let your next trip end in back pain.

Here's a quick checklist to help you stay loose, pain-free, and a whole lot more comfortable.

If you’re going to be stuck in the air for hours, these tips are for YOU.

Here’s the breakdown:

✅ 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘁
Aisle seats aren’t just for fast bathroom breaks. They let you stretch your legs, shift your hips, and sneak in a quick standing break without climbing over strangers. Your spine will thank you.

✅ 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗟𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁
Most airplane seats weren’t designed with your back in mind. Bring a rolled-up towel, small pillow, or even a hoodie and place it right at your lower back to maintain proper posture.

✅ 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗢𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻
Set a timer or just make it a habit: stand, stretch, or walk the aisle every 30–45 minutes. Even a quick shoulder roll or ankle circle in your seat keeps joints from locking up.

✅ 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀
Travel pillow? Yes. Compression socks? Absolutely. And if your airline allows it, a small heating pad can be a game-changer for tight hips and low backs. Don’t underestimate your gear.

If your last flight left you feeling stiff, achy, or out of alignment, don’t wait until it gets worse.

🚗✈️ Sitting too long in one position? That’s a fast track to back and hip pain during summer travel.

Whether you’re stuck in traffic on the Parkway or flying out of Newark, here are 3 simple fixes that can make a big difference:

🔹 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 – A small towel, travel pillow, or even a folded sweatshirt behind your lower back helps maintain your natural spine curve and reduces pressure on the hips.

🔹 𝗔𝗱𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 – Keeping your hips higher than your knees helps prevent tightness in your lower back and keeps your posture from collapsing during long trips.

🔹 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝟯𝟬–4𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 – Set a timer to stand, stretch, or shift your position. This keeps blood flowing and your joints from locking up.

These aren't fluff tips.

They’re real strategies we teach patients every day in our clinic. And they work.

If your back or hips are already giving you trouble, don’t wait until it gets worse.

S𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲.

💪 Shoulder rolls and neck nods to fight the stiffness.

🧳✈️ Traveling soon? Protect your back before you even leave the house.

Most people think it’s just about lifting with your legs.

But here are two smart travel tips you didn’t know you needed:

✅ 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲.

Why?

A bottom-heavy bag stays more stable while rolling or carrying.

This reduces strain on your wrists and shoulders and prevents your spine from compensating for sudden shifts in weight.

✅ 𝗣𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗣𝗨𝗦𝗛 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀.

Pulling a bag over rough terrain gives you more control and reduces jarring forces on your joints.

But on smooth floors, pushing is better for your posture.

Less twisting, less hunching, and less stress on your back.

🎒 Bonus tip: If you feel a “twinge” when packing or lifting, don’t ignore it. That’s your body asking for help.

She had one goal this past spring: make the softball team.

Then...the setback.
A painful ankle sprain.
4 weeks in a CAM boot.
And the fear that her season was over before it began.

But Zara didn’t give up.
She came to us, worked hard with Dr. Asha in our Elizabeth clinic… and in just ONE MONTH, she was out of the boot, pain-free, and ready to run, squat, and PLAY.

💥 And yes. She MADE her softball team.

➡️ If pain or injury is holding you back from your goals this summer, don’t wait.

The season’s not over.

Your goals aren’t lost.

Let’s get you back to what you love.
