Ever get that nagging “temple headache” that wraps around your eye and makes you wonder if it’s your sinuses, your eyes, or your teeth… all at once? 😵‍💫

Say hello to your temporalis muscle. Yes, it’s a muscle, not just a spot to rub when your head hurts. 🩷🖤

Where it is...

The temporalis is that fan-shaped muscle on the side of your head (your temple area), running from your skull down to your jaw. If you put your fingers on your temples and gently clench your teeth, you’ll feel it pop to the surface.

What it does...
It’s one of your main chewing muscles and plays a big role in:
closing your jaw, clenching and grinding (hello, stress 😬)

How it can cause symptoms...
When the temporalis gets tight and develops trigger points (little tender knots in the temple area), it can send pain to places that don’t always scream “muscle”:

🖤 Temple headaches
🖤Pain or pressure around the eyebrow/forehead
🖤Even upper tooth sensitivity (fun twist: it’s not always your teeth)

If you’re clenching more with stress, waking up with headaches, or constantly rubbing your temples, this muscle is probably doing the most.

The good news? You’re not stuck like that. Chiropractic and massage together can help:

🩷calm the nervous system that’s driving the clench
🩷release tension in the jaw, neck, and temples
🩷reduce those referred headache patterns over time

If this sounds a little too familiar, we’d love to help you figure out what your muscles are trying to tell you. You can book chiropractic or massage through the link in our bio or call 724-822-1828 and we’ll help you find a time that works.

Let’s talk about those babies who do not love being laid flat. 🥴

Some babies melt into their crib or bassinet like it’s no big deal.
Others? The second you lay them down, they fuss, arch, grunt, or pop their eyes open like, “Nice try, Mom.”

If that’s your baby, it can be confusing, and exhausting, especially when everything else seems pretty normal.

Here’s what’s really going on 👇

In the first few months, your baby’s nervous system is still learning how to handle:

🩷gravity
🩷new positions
🩷life outside that snug little womb

If their body feels tense, tight, or a little unsettled, lying flat on their back can feel like too much all at once. So instead of relaxing, their body goes into “nope” mode.

You might notice things like:
🖤 fussiness when you lay them on their back
🖤 arching or stiffening when you try to put them down
🖤 sleeping better on you or a little more upright
🖤 having a hard time settling even when they’re clearly tired

You are not doing anything wrong.
Your baby is not being “difficult.”
Their little system is just still figuring things out.

Gentle, nervous-system-focused chiropractic care for babies can help by improving how the brain and body communicate. When that communication is clearer, their body often feels safer and more organized, and it becomes easier for them to relax into different positions, including lying flat.

Every baby adjusts in their own time, but you don’t have to white-knuckle your way through it alone. If this sounds like your little one, we’d be happy to take a look and talk through what we’re seeing.

Did you know we offer hot stone massage in the office? 🪨🔥

If you’ve never had one, here’s the vibe:
Warm, smooth stones are gently placed and used along your muscles while your therapist works. The stones are usually made from basalt (a type of volcanic rock), and they hold heat really well, think deep, cozy warmth that helps your muscles relax from the inside out.

Hot stone massage can help:

🩷melt stubborn muscle tension
🩷ease stress and anxiety
🩷support circulation
🩷give you that “I might melt into this table and never leave” feeling 😅

It’s especially wonderful in winter when everything feels tight, cold, and overworked.

If your body has been begging for warmth and deep relaxation, this is your sign to try a hot stone session. You can book with our massage therapists through the link in our bio or call 724-822-1828 and we’ll help you find a time that works. 🩷🖤

Ever feel like your body is playing “tag, you’re it” with your pain?

One week it’s your neck.
Then your low back kicks in.
Next it’s your hip or shoulder… even though you didn’t lift anything wild or run a marathon.

It can make you feel a little nuts, like, “Why does something always hurt, and why does it keep moving?”

Here’s the thing: a lot of the time, it’s not that something new is “wrong.” It’s that your nervous system is trying to keep you going and shifting tension around to do it.

Your body is smart. When it senses stress, overload, or imbalance, it compensates. That can show up as:

🖤tightness that seems to migrate
🖤old aches flaring back up during busy seasons
🖤random discomfort with no clear injury
🖤one area feeling better while another suddenly feels cranky

Is it annoying? Yes.
Is it your body failing you? No.
It’s your system doing the best it can with the load it’s under.

This is where chiropractic care (and massage when we need it) come in. We’re not just chasing the pain of the week, we’re helping your nervous system communicate better with your body so it doesn’t have to keep bouncing tension from place to place just to get you through the day.

If it feels like your pain has been playing musical chairs lately, you don’t have to just shrug and live with it. You can book online through the link on our website or call 724-822-1828 and we’ll help you find a time that works for real life. 🩷🖤

When you’re carrying a bump, you’re carrying a lot more than just the baby. 🩷

Your body is constantly adapting, shifting posture, loosening ligaments, changing your center of gravity, and working overtime to grow a whole human. It’s no surprise that things like low back pain, hip discomfort, round ligament pain, pelvic pressure, and trouble getting comfortable start to creep in.

That’s where prenatal chiropractic care comes in. Gentle, pregnancy-focused adjustments help:

🩷keep your pelvis and spine moving well as your body changes
🩷reduce tension in the low back, hips, and round ligaments
🩷create more space and balance for baby to move and settle
🩷support your nervous system so you can rest, digest, and handle stress a little easier

It’s not about cracking you into place, it’s about helping your body do what it’s already trying so hard to do: carry you and your baby with more comfort and stability. Many moms tell us they sleep better, walk easier, and feel more “aligned” (physically and mentally) when they stay consistent with care during pregnancy.

If you’re pregnant and everything feels a little tight, achy, or “off,” you don’t just have to push through it. You can book a prenatal chiropractic visit through the link in our bio or call 724-822-1828 and we’ll help you find a time that works with your schedule. 🖤

If you’ve ever said “my shoulders live up by my ears,” this one’s for you. 😅

The trapezius muscle (the big one across your upper back and neck in this graphic) is a classic stress-holder. Long days at a desk, scrolling, driving, feeding babies, carrying kids, sleeping weird, pregnancy posture… it all stacks up here.

That tight, burning feeling across the tops of your shoulders…
The ache between your shoulder blades…
Headaches that start at the base of your skull and creep up…

A lot of that can trace back to trigger points in this one muscle. And if you’re pregnant (or have been), that extra curve in your mid-back and changing posture can make this area even grumpier.

A few gentle things you can try at home:

🩷slow shoulder rolls front + back
🖤easy neck stretches (no forcing or bouncing)
🩷a warm pack along the tops of your shoulders

And if this area is constantly screaming at you, that’s where chiropractic and massage work really well together. Getting the joints moving better, calming the nervous system, and helping those trap muscles finally let go.

If your neck and shoulders have been yelling for a while, we’d love to help quiet them down. You can book chiropractic or massage through the link in our bio or call 724-822-1828 and we’ll find a time that works. 🩷🖤

A little life update from our massage side of the office… 🩷

Our amazing massage therapist Kyria will be going on maternity leave soon to welcome her new baby (we’re all so excited for her!). She’ll be off for several weeks soaking up newborn snuggles and adjusting to life with her little one.

If you’ve been thinking about getting in with Kyria or Nina for a massage, now is a great time to grab your February spot before the schedule fills up. Once Kyria is out, openings will be a little tighter for a bit.

You can call 724-822-1828 to schedule or book online at https://abutlerchiropracticpllc.janeapp.com/ and we’ll help you find a time that works.

If your low back always flares when life gets busy, crazy schedules, long days, big emotions, you’re not imagining it.

Your low back is one of the first places stress loves to land. When your nervous system shifts into “protect” mode, the muscles around your spine tighten and brace. After a while, that can look like feeling compressed, stiff in the morning, guarded every time you bend or lift, and never quite getting comfortable.

It doesn’t mean your back is “weak” or broken, it usually means your system has been in survival mode for a while.

Nervous-system-focused chiropractic care and massage together can make a big difference here. Chiropractic helps your brain and body communicate better, and massage helps those tight muscles finally let go. As things settle, movement feels softer, you’re less guarded, and everyday stuff gets easier again.

If this sounds like you, you don’t have to wait for the next big flare. You can book chiropractic and massage through the link in our bio or call 724-822-1828 and we’ll help you find a time that works. 🩷🖤

Mamas (and mamas-to-be), let’s talk about those little head turns for a second. 🩷

If your baby always looks the same way in pictures, prefers one breast, or only sleeps with their head turned to one side, it’s usually not just a “quirk.” That “favorite side” is often your baby’s way of showing how their neck and upper spine are adapting after birth.

Even with a smooth delivery, a baby’s neck and spine can go through a lot of pressure. If one side gets tighter, you might notice:

🖤nursing going better on one side
🖤baby fighting you when you turn their head the other way
🖤sleep only happening in one position
🖤a flat spot starting to show on one side

Their nervous system is developing fast—coordinating growth, digestion, sleep, and how they take in the world. So these early movement patterns actually matter.

This is where gentle pediatric chiropractic care comes in. With babies, adjustments are super soft and specific—no big twists or pops. The goal is to release tension, balance how the neck and spine move, and support clearer communication between the brain and body.

Parents often notice after a few visits that baby:

🩷turns their head more freely both ways
🩷feeds more comfortably on both sides
🩷settles easier when lying down
🩷sleeps more soundly (which means you might, too 😉)

“Torticollis” isn’t just tight muscles—it’s about how the brain and body are talking to each other. When that communication is clearer, your baby can grow, move, and thrive with a lot more ease.

If you’re noticing a strong “favorite side” and you’re not sure what to do next, you’re not alone—we’re happy to take a look, answer questions, and walk through it with you. Book an appointment online with the link in our bio or call us at 724-822-1828 to find a time to bring your little one (and even yourself) in for an adjustment.
