Wellness Wednesday: Why Chronic Tendon Pain Doesn’t “Just Go Away”

Radial Pressure Shockwave Therapy (RPW) is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
Clinically, shockwave therapy has been shown to:
• Increase localized blood flow
• Stimulate cellular repair
• Promote collagen production
• Help break down chronic scar tissue
• Reduce pain signaling in chronic conditions

It is commonly used for conditions such as:
✔ Plantar fasciitis
✔ Tendinopathy (Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff)
✔ Chronic shoulder pain
✔ Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
✔ Calcific tendon conditions

This integrative approach allows us to address pain at multiple levels — structural, neurological, and cellular.
If you’ve had pain for 3+ months and traditional approaches haven’t resolved it, RPW may be an appropriate next step.
Call to schedule an appointment or ask about it during your next visit!

💚 Wellness Wednesday: Creatine for Women — More Than a “Gym Supplement”

For years, creatine has been misunderstood as something just for bodybuilders.

In reality, it’s one of the most researched supplements for supporting:

✔️ Lean muscle development
✔️ Strength and power
✔️ Recovery from training
✔️ Bone support (when paired with resistance training)
✔️ Cognitive energy and mood support
✔️ Muscle preservation during perimenopause & menopause

Women naturally store less creatine than men, and many women don’t consume high amounts through diet alone. Supplementing with 3–5g of creatine monohydrate daily has been shown to safely increase muscle creatine stores and improve training quality when combined with resistance exercise.

And no — it does not cause fat gain or “bulk.”
Muscle is protective. Muscle supports metabolism. Muscle supports healthy aging.

Why This Matters in My Metabolic Reset Program 💚

Inside our Metabolic Reset Program, we focus on:

• Preserving lean muscle
• Improving metabolic efficiency
• Supporting hormone transitions
• Strength training as medicine
• Strategic supplementation when appropriate

Creatine can be a valuable tool in that foundation — especially for women navigating midlife metabolic shifts.

This isn’t about quick fixes.
It’s about building resilient metabolism from the inside out.

If you’re curious whether creatine fits into your personalized plan, let’s talk.

I am excited to announce a new offering at Schugel Family Chiropractic that has been a long time in the making. A weight loss/lifestyle program that takes everything into consideration...

Ever feel like you’re doing the right things…
✔ eating better
✔ moving more
✔ being mindful

…but that stubborn weight around your middle just won’t budge?

Or maybe you’ve started strong with diet and exercise, only to lose momentum when life gets busy.

Our Medical Weight Loss Program is designed to support your efforts — not replace them. For some people, the missing piece isn’t willpower… it’s biology, hormones, or metabolism.

This program is for individuals who want:
• Better metabolic support
• Help breaking through a plateau
• A structured, medically guided approach
• Sustainable results — not extremes
