Pain shooting down your leg when you sit too long or bend forward? That could be a sign your low back and sciatic nerve need some attention.

In this video, Dr. Jay walks you through three simple exercises designed to help reduce nerve irritation, improve mobility, and get you moving more comfortably:

✅ Half Prone Press Up – a gentle way to introduce lumbar extension
✅ Full Prone Press Up – promotes further lumbar extension and takes pressure off the disc
✅ Nerve Glides – encourages healthy nerve movement to decrease tension and sensitivity

🦶 Struggling with plantar fasciitis? You don’t have to live with heel pain.

In this video, Dr. Ian and Dr. Jay break down the in-office treatment we use to decrease symptoms associated with plantar fasciitis including:

✔️ ART (Active Release Technique) to reduce tissue tension
✔️ Instrument-assisted scraping to stimulate healing
✔️ Forefoot adjustments to improve foot mechanics
✔️ Class IV therapeutic laser to decrease inflammation and accelerate recovery

Plantar fasciitis isn’t just a foot problem, it’s often caused by faulty movement, tight tissues, and poor biomechanics.

If your first steps in the morning are painful or your heel pain keeps coming back, this video is for you!

Heel pain first thing in the morning? It might be plantar fasciitis.

In this video, Dr. Jay explains what plantar fasciitis is, why it happens, and demonstrates simple at-home exercises you can start today to help reduce pain and improve mobility.

✅ Kneeling ankle dorsiflexion
✅ Lunging calf stretch
✅ Foam rolling calves

These movements help improve ankle motion, decrease calf tightness, and reduce stress on the plantar fascia.

Exercises so easy you can do them right in your living room!
