💊Medication and injections don’t decrease vulnerability, they hide it. Pain isn’t a signal we should be buying chemicals to numb, it is a message that your system isn’t currently able to handle the demands being placed upon it.

⚡️Pain gives us valuable information about what our tissue capacity is and how much challenge our body can currently tolerate. Unfortunately people in pain often choose to either decrease the demands placed on their body (read: stop doing what things they enjoy), or use chemicals to temporarily remove the signal so they can ignore it. ⁠

⚡️⁠ The first choice drastically decreases quality of life, the second one allows these tissues to continue failing leading to chronic injuries. Instead how about we use your pain as the valuable feedback it is while we create a system so strong that such feedback is no longer needed. ⁠

⁠ Let’s stop masking your vulnerability, let’s eliminate it⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 🔥

Not Broken. Just human.

Is imaging sometimes necessary for certain patients with certain presentations—like acute trauma, unexplained worsening neurological symptoms, or progressive weakness? 100%.

Will imaging at the wrong time for the wrong patient negatively affect their pain experience, fitness, and health span? 100%.

When misused, they spark fear, halt movement, and derail long-term health. You’re not your MRI—you’re a resilient human built to thrive. Got questions? Reach out to us—we’re here to help

‼️Jaw Pain Relief

🔸The temporomandibular joint (aka the TMJ) can create significant life disturbances when irritated. Unlike many other joints, there is no avoiding your TMJ pain.

🔸If your knee hurts with running, you can find a different way to exercise. Back pain with kettlebell swings? Let’s substitute that in your workouts for something else.

🔸But with TMJ pain, you can’t simply avoid aggravating. You have to eat. You can’t control laughter. You can’t avoid having conversations with family and co-workers.

🔸So you deal with it and suffer for far too long. You’ve tried night guards and medications with no real change.

🔸At Onward, James specializes in bringing relief to those suffering from chronic TMJ pain, as well as the neck pain and frequent headaches that often come with it. We would love the opportunity to help!

🏋EXERCISE
We are always fitness forward. Nothing is linked more to health than exercise. Exercise induces healthy blood flow and circulation, which in turn, helps to heal injured tissue making recovery much quicker.

😴 SLEEP HYGIENE
We need it, all of us. That includes you too. Quality and quantity. Shoot for 7-9 hours, and like our diet advice get consistent with your schedule. There is a difference between “function” and “thriving”, now is not the time to cut yourself short.

🍎 NUTRITION
Don’t get this twisted, we need consistency above all else. Pick foods that are real, gifts from earth, and then give yourself a little wiggle room for fun and enjoyment. Create a positive environment around your food, and then lock in your CONSISTENCY.

⚡️STRESS MANAGMENT
Believe it or not, stress management heightens our nervous system and can increase the pain response. We know through meditation, mindfulness, or “me time” that the benefits to our overall health are outstanding. Find ways to connect with yourself, and address things that may be taking away from being happy and present.
