Pregnancy and nursing can bring aches and pains, but not every pain relief option is safe.

Gentle chiropractic adjustments, prenatal-safe stretches, and low-impact exercises can help relieve back, hip, and neck discomfort safely. 🧘‍♀️

These approaches support proper alignment and mobility without relying on medications that may affect you or your baby. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new treatments.

Neck and jaw problems are often connected! 🔗

A new study found that people with cervical disc herniations often also have jaw issues, and more severe neck pain can lead to worse jaw symptoms, especially in women.

If your neck feels stiff, painful, or limited, it’s essential to also have your jaw checked. When one area is irritated, it can easily affect the other.

A thorough examination at our office can detect both issues, allowing you to receive the proper treatment and experience faster relief.

If you’re noticing jaw clicking, headaches, or neck pain, we’re here to help support long-term comfort and well-being. 💙

Does your thumb or wrist feel sore after scrolling or typing? 📱😣

Doing the same motion over and over can irritate the tendons in your wrist — especially with all the screen time we have today.

Taking short breaks, doing simple stretches, and getting care early can help ease the pain.

Too much light at night can actually cause issues for your heart.💡❤️

A study of nearly 90,000 adults found that people who slept in the brightest bedrooms had higher risks of heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke, even when lifestyle and genetics were taken into account.

Keeping your bedroom dim or fully dark at night is a simple habit that may support long-term heart health, particularly after the age of 40. 🌙😴

Small changes can make a big difference.

Is your shoulder bothering you when you reach overhead? 🤕🙋‍♂️

Most people focus on strengthening the rotator cuff muscles, but the shoulder blade is also a significant player. A new study found that incorporating shoulder-blade exercises into standard shoulder rehabilitation led to even better pain relief and improved function.

In other words, your shoulder blade just needs to join the workout party. 🎉💪

If your shoulder has been nagging you, we can help you get it moving smoothly again. Watch this video to learn how we can support your recovery. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ktLPQJ0SHoE?rel=0

Did you know chronic pain can affect more than just the area that hurts? 😟💭

An extensive study of over 450,000 people found that the more areas of chronic pain someone has, the higher their risk of conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. For example:

✔ Pain in 4+ areas → 82% higher risk
✔ Widespread pain → 59% higher risk
✔ Highest risk combo: head + stomach/abdomen

Chronic pain impacts sleep, stress, movement, and inflammation, all of which influence long-term health. The good news? You don’t have to push through it. We can help build a personalized plan to reduce pain and support your overall well-being.
