Struggling with stubborn heel pain? 🦶

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, especially for active people or those on their feet all day. Recent research shows that hands-on therapy and rehab, including therapeutic taping, can help:

✅ Reduce pain
✅ Improve foot and ankle function
✅ Decrease inflammation in the plantar fascia

Even better, these benefits often last beyond the treatment itself.

If heel pain is keeping you from staying active, we’re here to help you find the right solution. 👍

Whiplash isn’t just from car accidents. Sudden impacts from sports or falls can also strain your neck and upper back, causing stiffness, headaches, and pain. 💡

Did you know that extra weight can also affect your hands and wrists? 🖐️

A recent study found that people with a higher body mass index (BMI over 30) were typically diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger about 6 years earlier than those with a healthy BMI.

Other things that sped up the onset of these conditions included smoking and type 1 diabetes.

This suggests inflammation and metabolic stress may manifest as pain, numbness, or hand stiffness earlier than expected.

The good news is that taking steps to manage weight and improve movement can reduce stress on your hands and wrists. 👍

If your hands feel stiff, numb, or just not right, come in and let’s examine them. ✅

Does coffee help or hurt migraines? The answer might surprise you. ☕️

A new study found that regular coffee drinkers may have a lower risk of developing migraines. Certain compounds in coffee may help protect against migraine attacks.

But here’s the catch. If you suddenly stop drinking coffee or have too much, it can temporarily trigger headaches for some people. That’s why the coffee–migraine connection has been so confusing.

The bottom line? For many people, coffee in moderation might be part of the solution, not the problem.

Learning how your daily habits affect your symptoms can make a real difference if you have recurring headaches or migraines.

Sitting too long can do more than cause stiffness—it can impact blood sugar too. 🪑🩸

A recent study found that short movement breaks every 45 minutes, like a 3-minute walk or a few squats, help control blood sugar better than one long walk.

The key: regular movement throughout the day supports your muscles, joints, heart, and even your metabolism. 🏃‍♀️‍➡️

Rotator cuff injuries are one of the most common causes of shoulder pain.

They can make simple tasks like lifting, reaching, or sleeping uncomfortable. Recovery often requires more than rest.

Research shows that combining hands-on treatment with targeted exercises can help reduce pain and improve shoulder function better than exercise alone. 💡

If you’ve been struggling with ongoing shoulder pain, there are effective options to help you move more freely and get back to your normal activities.

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.
