Shin splints ruining your summer runs? 🏃‍♀️

You’re not alone… and your calves might be part of the reason.

Shin splints are often linked to how your lower leg handles load while running.

New research found that runners with weaker or less durable calf muscles were more likely to have shin pain. Your calves help absorb impact when you run. If they get tired, more stress is placed on your shins.

If shin splints are slowing you down, let’s speed up your recovery. Schedule a visit to get a plan that keeps you running strong! 💪

Protein is everywhere right now… but is it always the best option? 🤔

A recent study compared high-protein and high-fiber breakfasts to see how they affect weight loss.

Researchers found that a high-protein breakfast helped reduce hunger more. But that doesn’t mean fiber isn’t important. The high-fiber breakfast also improved gut health.

For the best results, try including both protein and fiber in your morning meal. 💡

If you’re feeling numbness or tingling in your foot, it’s easy to think it’s sciatica. And sometimes… it is.

But other conditions can cause the same feeling.

For example, diabetes can affect your nerves, leading to numbness or tingling. It can feel a lot like sciatica.

That’s why a proper exam matters. Don’t rely on guesses or Dr. Google alone.

Did you sprain your ankle, but it still feels unstable weeks later? 🤔🦶

Many people focus only on the ankle during recovery, but research suggests the issue may also involve the hip.

Studies have found that people with ongoing ankle instability after a sprain often show reduced hip strength and movement control.

The hip helps guide the leg during walking, running, and jumping. If it is not working well, the ankle may remain unstable.

That is why good rehab often trains the entire leg, not just the ankle. 💪

Call our clinic to schedule an appointment if your ankle still feels weak after a sprain.

Still struggling with low back pain despite your strengthening exercises? 🤔

Maybe improper breathing is the culprit. Your diaphragm does more than help you breathe. It also supports spinal stability as part of your core system.

A recent review of over 280 people with chronic low back pain found that improving diaphragm function reduced pain and improved daily function.

Breathing may be an overlooked part of back care for many people.

Call today to schedule an appointment and see if breathing and movement coordination could help your back.
