Less active = more pain 😣

✅ Stronger muscles + better sleep = big impact
✅ Progress matters more than perfection

Shoulder pain isn’t always just about your shoulder!
A study found that people with shoulder pain often have:
🔹 Less neck mobility, leading to greater disability
🔹 Worse outcomes when pain lasts longer, especially in older patients
👉 Takeaway: Treating shoulder pain works best when we look at your neck too. Addressing both can lead to better results, which is what we do!

Want to stay healthy and active as you age? Your diet plays a significant role. 🥦🍎
A 30-year study found that people who eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, healthy fats, and low-fat dairy are more likely to age strong, sharp, and disease-free.
Eating less processed meat, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats also helps.
The takeaway: Choosing a balanced, mostly plant‑based diet with some healthy animal‑based foods can help you stay active and independent well into your 70s and beyond. 🙌

Have you had spine surgery and wonder if chiropractic care is safe? 🤔
A recent study looked at over 400 adults who had spinal surgery and later received spinal manipulation. The good news—no serious complications were reported after treatment.
What does this mean? For those with a history of spine surgery, spinal manipulative therapy may be a safe option when performed by trained professionals.
If you’re still dealing with pain or stiffness after surgery, you’re not alone—and effective treatment options remain.

When it comes to exercise and knee arthritis, think like Goldilocks. 💡
Too little movement? Your joints may stiffen up and get weaker.
Too much? You might be pushing them toward injury.
But just the right amount? That’s where the magic happens.
A recent study found that moderate daily activity helps protect against the progression of knee osteoarthritis. Over time, people who stayed in that “just right” zone had better joint health.
If your knees are sore or stiff, we can help you find the sweet spot where you can move enough to stay strong without risking your joints. 🙌

Tennis elbow isn’t just for tennis players—it can happen to anyone who uses their hand and wrist repeatedly, like typing, painting, or lifting at the gym. This overuse causes tiny tears in the forearm tendons, leading to pain, stiffness, and grip weakness.
Chiropractic care can help by reducing inflammation, restoring joint mobility, and using targeted exercises to strengthen your forearm—helping you recover faster and prevent flare-ups.
You know how frustrating migraines can be. And if you’ve ever felt like you're just waiting for the next one to hit, this might help. 🤕
A recent study found that regular cardio exercise reduced migraine days. Even better, combining cardio with simple neck and shoulder strengthening exercises led to fewer headaches, less anxiety, and overall better well-being.
There were no side effects, just movement. 🏃♀️➡️
If migraines are holding you back, let’s create a plan to help you feel and move better.

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. ✅

In describing what I do, one of the first questions I am asked is, “Where is your office located?”
It seems that a doctor making house calls is something of a foreign concept theses days, but in deciding how best to serve the people of San Antonio, mobile chiropractic just made perfect sense to me.
Today one of the greatest challenges people face in regards to healthcare is accessibility. This is a combination of the money necessary to invest in our health and being able to fit time to see a doctor into our busy lives.
To me, going mobile creates a solution both of these challenges. Because I do not have a facility to upkeep, my overhead is next to nothing and I am able to pass the savings on to the patients by charging a very reasonable fee for my services - new patient consultation and examination starts at only $50 and I have never charged a travel fee for in-home services. Second, being a mobile service provider allows for much greater flexibility in scheduling; often times same-day appointments are available.
Contact me today to see the difference in-home chiropractic care can make in your life.
