🏋️‍♀️ Can jumping exercises help with injury recovery? A new review says yes.

Plyometric training, which includes fast and powerful movements like jumps, may help people recover from injuries like ankle sprains, ACL tears, and shoulder problems. Most studies showed promising results when these exercises were done safely and with the proper guidance.

But jumping in without a plan (literally!) can do more harm than good. Our providers can help guide you through the right exercises at the right time to build strength, improve movement, and safely return to activity.

If you are recovering from an injury, we can help you take the next step with care that fits your goals!

☀️ Staying cool during a heatwave helps more than just comfort. It can protect your health.

A new study shows that using a fan and drinking cold water is the best way to cool down in hot, humid weather.

While a fan alone helps, it can also lead to dehydration. Combining airflow and hydration lowers body temperature, eases heart strain, and helps you feel better.

If you spend time outside or work in hot settings, check out this infographic on key ways to stay hydrated! https://bit.ly/2V0oyyU

💥 Sore on the outside of your hip? It could be gluteal tendinopathy, a common cause of hip pain.

A new study looked at hip scans from people with this condition and found:

✅ Many had changes in more than one tendon
✅ Some had small or large tears
✅ Others had calcium buildup near the bone

The way the hip looked on the scan did not match the amount of pain or trouble they had. This means that what shows up on an MRI does not always explain how you feel.

Treatment focused on movement and strength can help you feel better, no matter what the scan says. Check out this infographic for more information. https://bit.ly/3CXm0D3

🖐️ Tingling, numbness, or weakness in your hand or wrist?

It could be carpal tunnel syndrome, which is often caused by repetitive motion, poor wrist position, or nerve irritation.

Chiropractic care can help by improving joint mobility, reducing tension, and guiding you through wrist-friendly movement habits.

Check out this video to learn more about carpal tunnel and what you can do about it. https://www.youtube.com/embed/p9Ujti_-iUQ?rel=0

🧠 Did you know that taking care of your heart may also protect your brain?

A 33-year study found that up to 44% of dementia cases by age 80 were linked to common and changeable risk factors like:

✔️ High blood pressure
✔️ Diabetes
✔️ Smoking

The good news is that these are things we can work on. By keeping your blood sugar and blood pressure in check, staying active, and avoiding smoking, you can lower your risk for both heart disease and dementia.

At our clinic, we focus on whole-body health. Whether you need help getting moving, managing stress, or staying active as you age, we’re here for you. Give us a call today!

Strong muscles = less low back pain ✅

A new study with over 10,000 people found that strong muscles reduced the chances of experiencing low back pain.

Interestingly, they measured hand grip strength… not even the back muscles! 💪

So, the stronger you are, the less your chances of experiencing low back pain!
