What Exactly Is Your Core?

Hint: it's more than just abs. 💡

Many people think "core" means six-pack muscles, but the true core is a deeper, more complex system that works as your body’s internal support team.

Your core includes:

🧠 Transversus abdominis (deep abdominal stabilizer)

🌬️Diaphragm (your main breathing muscle)

💪 Multifidus & erector spinae (spinal support muscles)

🧍 Pelvic floor muscles (core-bottom support)

↔️ Obliques (side stabilizers)

Together, they create a natural corset that stabilizes your spine and pelvis before and during movement.

Think of your core like the foundation of a house. If it’s unbalanced, everything built on top becomes more vulnerable to strain or injury.

Check back as we dig deeper into how to assess your own core strength and ways to improve it over time.

What Is Contrast Therapy? 🔥🧊

Contrast therapy is the practice of alternating between hot and cold treatments, like a sauna and cold plunge. The magic is in the switch: 🔄

🔥 Heat increases blood flow, relaxes muscles, and loosens stiff joints.

🧊 Cold reduces inflammation, numbs pain, and tightens blood vessels.

By cycling between the two, your body experiences a kind of "vascular workout".

Your blood vessels expand and contract, helping flush out toxins, reduce soreness, and speed up recovery.

It’s like a reset for your nervous system and your muscles. 💥

People use it to recover from workouts, reduce chronic pain, boost energy, and even improve sleep.

💬 Curious if contrast therapy is right for you? Ask us! We’re happy to help guide your recovery plan.

Leading up to her maternity leave, Dr. Mick has been navigating the challenges of carpel tunnel, and shared her journey with cortisone injections in her latest Bumpdate. Hear how her pregnancy is progressing below 👇

"Over the past few months, I’ve been managing classic carpal tunnel symptoms—numbness, tingling, and weakness in my hands—especially at night and after a long day of treating patients. I started with all the conservative therapies: massage, chiropractic care, splinting at night. While those helped temporarily, the symptoms kept returning with more intensity.

So, after a lot of thought (and talking with my OB), I decided to move forward with cortisone injections...

I won’t sugarcoat it—the first few days after the injections weren’t exactly a trip to the spa. I had some soreness at the injection sites, numbness across both of my palms and my hands felt like 2 blocks of lead– which led me to take a full 24 hours off from treating patients to let my body rest.

By day 10, the results were pretty incredible. I had full strength back in my hands, no more tingling waking me up at night, and—yes, this is a big one—I could finally use a stapler again and squeeze toothpaste onto my toothbrush without help from my husband (shoutout to Cody for being the best!) 😂.

Baby Boy is doing GREAT! His heartbeat is strong, he’s got all four limbs (always nice to confirm that on ultrasound!), and he’s currently weighing in at 3lb 6oz, which puts him in the 66th percentile for weight.

He’s growing beautifully and staying very active in there—his kicks and punches are getting stronger every day!

Thanks so much for following along with me. I’m always grateful for the support and love from my coworkers and patients. If you’re dealing with pregnancy-related carpal tunnel (or any other fun third-trimester symptoms), don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m right there with you!"

Until next time,
Dr. Mick (and Baby Arthur)

Working with a practitioner is only one piece of a well-rounded lifestyle. How we operate in between appointments matters a lot. We all need a reminder to be more present with ourselves.

Remember: You have a lot of influence over your health!

When in doubt, get back to the basics:

Drink water.

Take 5 intentional inhales and exhales.

Eat a meal with a balance of proteins, fats, and carbs.

Tune into self-compassion.

You’ve got this!
