Knee pain can make everyday activities—walking, squatting, going up stairs—feel frustrating or even impossible. That’s where dry needling can be a powerful tool.

How Dry Needling Helps Knee Pain
Dry needling works by addressing surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Patients often notice:
▪ Decreased pain and tension
▪ Improved range of motion
▪ Better muscle activation (especially glutes and quads)
▪ Faster recovery from activity or injury

It’s especially helpful for conditions like:
▪ Patellofemoral pain (runner’s knee)
▪ IT band syndrome
▪ Tendon irritation (like patellar tendinitis)
▪ Chronic knee stiffness
▪ Arthritis
▪ Meniscus Tear
▪ Sprains / Strains
▪ Movement retraining

If you’re dealing with knee pain, dry needling is a safe, effective way to release tension, restore movement, and get you back to doing what you love. Visit our website today to schedule an appointment!

Feeling stressed? Reach for your water bottle!
Even subtle dehydration can spike cortisol by 50% during stress.

Cortisol is a hormone released by the adrenal glands to help you respond to stress. In healthy amounts, it's helpful - it raises blood sugar, mobilizes energy, and keeps you alert. However, when cortisol stays elevated too often or too long, it becomes problematic. Research shows that even mild dehydration can amplify cortisol release during physical or mental stress. This means your body perceives stress as more intense simply because it doesn't have enough fluid.

Signs of dehydration include:
😴 Fatigue or low energy
🧠 Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
💪 Muscle tightness or cramping
🤦‍♀️ Headaches
😥 Increased anxiety or irritability

If you're already under stress and not adequately hydrated, cortisol levels can rise higher and stay elevated longer. This can lead to:
▪ Poor sleep
▪ Increased inflammation
▪ Slower recovery from workouts or injuries
▪ Hormonal imbalance
▪ Persistent pain and tension

Luckily, there is a simple solution that will make a big impact: drink more water!

If your stress feels overwhelming, your anxiety feels heightened, or your body isn’t recovering the way it should, hydration may be a missing piece. Supporting your body with something as simple as adequate water can lower cortisol, calm the nervous system, and improve your ability to handle stress.

Helping Veterans Heal: Support Free Chiropractic Care Through the RAVEN Initiative

At Tennessee Back Pain Center, we believe the men and women who served our country deserve the very best care—especially when it comes to their health and recovery.

Many veterans struggle with chronic pain, mobility issues, and injuries related to their time in service. Unfortunately, access to chiropractic care through traditional systems can sometimes be limited or delayed. That’s why we are proud to partner with the RAVEN Initiative

What Is the RAVEN Initiative?
The RAVEN Initiative is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping improve the lives of veterans both physically and mentally. They strive to fill the gap between what the VA can provide and what middle Tennessee veterans need when it comes to wellness and rehabilitative services. Through generous donations, the organization funds personal training, chiropractic care, physical therapy, and nutrition services for veterans.

By removing financial barriers, the initiative helps veterans improve their quality of life and stay active.

How Your Donation Helps
Donations to the RAVEN Initiative can go directly toward funding chiropractic visits for veterans.

Your support can help provide:
▪ Chiropractic exams and adjustments
▪ Treatment for acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain
▪ Care that helps veterans stay active and independent

Even a small contribution can make a meaningful difference in the life of someone who has served our country.

How You Can Support Veterans Today
If you would like to help veterans in our community receive the care they deserve, consider making a donation to the RAVEN Initiative.

Your generosity helps ensure that more veterans can receive safe, effective, and drug-free chiropractic care right here in Murfreesboro.

Together, we can honor their service by supporting their health.

This exercise is a powerhouse for improving hip mobility, balance, lower body coordination, and activation of the piriformis, glutes, adductors, and VMO.

Using DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) principles, it helps:
• Restore proper muscle activation
• Improve posture and joint stability
• Reduce pain and compensation patterns

What Is DNS?
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) is a rehabilitation approach based on how babies naturally learn to move. As infants develop, they build stability, coordination, and strength in a specific sequence.

Rather than just strengthening individual muscles, DNS retrains your body to move correctly by emphasizing stability as the foundation for strength.

How to Perform the DNS Sit-Back
1. Start kneeling in front of a couch, chair, ottoman, or table.
2. Place your hands on the object in front of you for balance.
3. Bring your left leg forward into a half-kneeling (tripod) stance.
4. Turn your right leg inward so your ankle is closer to your left glute.
5. Create a strong tripod base by distributing pressure evenly through your heel, big toe, and outer toes.
6. Engage your core by breathing into your belly and sides (not your chest). You should feel a 360-degree expansion through your abdomen.
7. Slowly sit back, keeping your movement in line with your left femur—as if you’re sitting into your right back pocket.
8. Return to the starting position.
9. Repeat for 5–10 reps, then switch sides.

What You Should Feel
You should feel this exercise primarily in your glutes and inner thighs. While it may look simple, it’s one of the most effective ways to rebuild a strong, stable foundation.

Form is everything here—if you’re not feeling it in the right areas, stop and get guidance before continuing.

If you’re dealing with pain or feel like your body isn’t moving the way it should, we’re here to help. We’ll identify the root cause and give you clear, practical steps to get you moving and feeling better.

We’ve been asked this question a lot lately - “Hey Doc, what supplements do you recommend taking?” That can be a complicated question because everyone’s body is different. The best way to go about this is to get bloodwork done and see what your levels are.

However, our simple answer is there are some key supplements that most people lack or at least don’t get enough of in our standard diets. These include
1. Multivitamin
2. Fish Oil
3. Vitamin C
4. Vitamin D
5 Magnesium
6. Complex B Vitamin (Optional)

These are just our recommendations and the supplements that we have implemented into our life. HOWEVER, if you do have underlying health conditions, currently take medications, are pregnant, etc. please speak to your primary care doctor before taking these supplements.

Vitamins and Minerals are a key component of our daily diets because they help our bodies operate at the highest potential. A deficiency in the key vitamins and minerals can result in several side effects that mimic (or cause) serious health conditions.

Piriformis Crossover Stretch: A Simple Way to Relieve Hip and Sciatic Pain
If you’re dealing with deep hip pain, tightness in your glutes, or even symptoms that travel down your leg, your piriformis muscle could be part of the problem.

The piriformis is a small muscle located deep in the buttock, behind the gluteus maximus. It plays an important role in stabilizing the hip and helping rotate the leg outward. However, when it becomes tight or inflamed, it can irritate the nearby sciatic nerve, leading to a condition commonly referred to as piriformis syndrome.

Signs Your Piriformis May Be Tight
▪ Deep aching in the buttock
▪ Pain that radiates down the back of the leg
▪ Increased discomfort when sitting for long periods
▪ Tightness or reduced mobility in the hips

How to Perform the Piriformis Crossover Stretch
1. Sit with your feet flat on the ground and your back straight.
2. Place the ankle of the leg you want to stretch on over the opposite knee (like a figure 4 position)
3. Keeping your chest tall, gently hinge forward at your hips, bringing your chest to your knees.
4. Hold for 1-2 seconds
5. Repeat 10x
6. Repeat on the opposite side.

Move slowly and avoid forcing the stretch. Breathe deeply and relax into the stretch.

If you’re struggling with persistent hip or leg pain in Murfreesboro, TN, our team is here to help guide you toward lasting relief. Visit our website to schedule an appointment!

What Is a Disc Herniation? Understanding the Cause of Your Back Pain

If you’ve been told you have a “disc herniation,” it can sound serious—and even a little scary. The good news is that most disc issues can be managed effectively with the right care.

At Tennessee Back Pain Center, we help patients in Murfreesboro, TN understand their condition and find real, lasting relief from back and neck pain.

What Is a Disc Herniation?
Your spine is made up of bones called vertebrae, and between each bone is a cushion-like structure called a disc.

Each disc has two main parts:
▪ A tough outer layer (annulus fibrosus)
▪ A soft, gel-like center (nucleus pulposus)

A disc herniation occurs when the inner gel pushes out through a tear or weakness in the outer layer.

This can irritate or compress nearby nerves, leading to pain and other symptoms.

Common Names for a Disc Herniation
You might hear a disc herniation referred to as:
▪ “Slipped disc”
▪ “Bulging disc” (slightly different, but often used interchangeably)
▪ “Ruptured disc”

What Causes a Disc Herniation?
Disc herniations can happen suddenly or develop over time. Common causes include:
▪ Lifting heavy objects improperly
▪ Repetitive bending or twisting
▪ Poor posture (especially prolonged sitting)
▪ Age-related wear and tear
▪ Sedentary lifestyle.

Even something as simple as bending the wrong way can trigger symptoms if the disc is already weakened.

Symptoms of a Disc Herniation
In the Lower Back (Lumbar Spine):
▪ Low back pain
▪ Pain radiating into the buttock or leg (sciatica)
▪ Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
▪ Muscle weakness

In the Neck (Cervical Spine):
▪ Neck pain
▪ Pain radiating into the shoulder or arm
▪ Tingling or numbness in the arm or hand
▪ Weakness in the upper extremity

Some people may even have a disc herniation without pain—but when nerves are involved, symptoms can become more noticeable.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help
At Tennessee Back Pain Center, we take a conservative, non-surgical approach to disc injuries whenever possible.

Chiropractic care may help by:
▪ Reducing pressure on the affected disc
▪ Improving spinal mobility
▪ Decreasing muscle tension surrounding the spine
▪ Decreasing inflammation
▪ Relieving nerve irritation

Treatment plans may include:
▪ Chiropractic adjustments
▪ Soft tissue therapy
▪ Dry Needling
▪ Corrective exercises

Every patient is different, which is why we tailor care to your specific condition and lifestyle.

If you are dealing with a disc herniation or back/neck pain, schedule an appointment on our website today!

Sitting Is the New Smoking: What It Means for Your Spine (and What You Can Do About It)

At Tennessee Back Pain Center, we see firsthand how prolonged sitting impacts spinal health, mobility, and overall wellness.

Sitting itself isn’t the problem—it’s how much we sit and how we sit that creates issues.

The average adult spends 6–10 hours per day sitting. Over time, this leads to:
▪ Increased pressure on the spine (especially the lower back)
▪ Tight hip flexors and hamstrings
▪ Weak core and glute muscles
▪ Poor posture and spinal misalignment
▪ Reduced circulation
▪ Increased strain on spinal discs
▪ Muscle imbalances
▪ Stiffness and reduced mobility

The good news? You don’t have to quit your desk job to protect your spine. Small changes can make a big difference.
1. Follow the 30-Minute Rule
2. Improve Your Posture
3. Stretch Daily
4. Strengthen Your Core
5. Consider a Standing Desk

If you’re already experiencing pain or stiffness from sitting, chiropractic care can help! At Tennessee Back Pain Center, we provide personalized treatments and recommendations for pain, posture, ergonomics, and exercises. Visit our website today to schedule an appointment!

Gardening can be a great way to get exercise and fresh air, but it can also be hard on your back. If you have back pain, there are a few things you can do to make gardening easier and less painful.
1. Warm up before you start gardening. Take a few minutes to do some light stretching. This will help to loosen up your muscles and prepare them for activity.

2. Use the right tools. Make sure you have the right tools for the job. For example, use a kneeling pad instead of bending over to w**d, and use a wheelbarrow instead of carrying heavy pots by hand.

3. Lift with your legs, not your back. When you need to lift something heavy, bend your knees and lift with your legs, keeping your back straight.

4. Take breaks. Don't try to do too much at once. Take breaks every 20-30 minutes to stretch and rest your back.

5. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated, which will help to keep your muscles from getting stiff.

6. Wear comfortable clothing. Wear loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely.

7. Engage your core. Lightly brace your abs when lifting or reaching. This will help stabilize your spine during movement.

8. Recovery Work. After a long time of yard work or gardening, ice your low back and do some gentle stretching.

If your back pain is severe or doesn't improve with these tips, come see us at Tennessee Back Pain Center! We love to help you get out of pain and back to gardening. Give us a call today at (615)-900-5187 or visit our website http://www.tennesseebackpaincenter.com
