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.

Most of the time, this is patellofemoral pain syndrome, where irritation occurs between the kneecap (patella) and the leg bone (femur).

However, new research has found that many times the femoral nerve might also be involved! 💡

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!

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
