Flu season is here, and many people are looking for natural ways to stay well. Your nervous system helps coordinate immune function, and gentle chiropractic care can support the way your body manages stress, moves, rests, and recovers.

How we can help your body do its best

• Calmer nervous system: Reducing joint restrictions may ease nerve irritation, lower stress responses, and support better recovery.

• Healthier movement and circulation: Restoring motion in the spine and major joints encourages blood and lymph flow so your body can deliver nutrients and clear waste more efficiently.

• Less tension and inflammation: Improved alignment can reduce muscle guarding and localized inflammation, which often means fewer body aches and headaches.

Better posture and sleep: When you move with less pain, quality sleep and daily energy are easier to maintain.

Whole-person wellness matters
Pair regular chiropractic care with nourishing meals, daily movement, hydration, and good sleep habits. And remember, chiropractic care does not treat infections; it complements medical guidance like flu shots and hand hygiene.

If you want support staying active and resilient this season, we’re here to help.

What really happens when you stretch?

We often think of stretching as “lengthening” a tight muscle, but research shows something a bit different is going on. Static stretching actually changes how much stretch your body is willing to tolerate — a concept called your stretch reserve.

With repeated stretching, your nervous system starts to feel that pull as less intense, so you’re more comfortable moving into that position. It feels like you gained flexibility, even though the muscle itself didn’t truly get longer.

If you push too hard or hold a deep stretch for too long, you may start to pull on the connective tissue around the muscle. Those changes can become more permanent — and not always helpful.

The good news is that stretching can still be beneficial when used the right way:

‧ Static stretching can reduce pain and discomfort, especially when you get used to that “stretchy” or slightly uncomfortable sensation.
‧ Stretching after a muscle strain or pull can support recovery and help you feel better faster when combined with the right rehab plan.

On the other hand, stretching isn’t a cure-all:

‧ Studies show it doesn’t significantly reduce injury risk.
‧ Long static stretches before strength training can temporarily reduce muscle power and endurance.

Take-home points:

‧ Stretching isn’t bad — it just needs to match your condition and goals.
‧ It changes how your body perceives stretch, not the actual muscle length.
‧ It can reduce pain, especially after a strain or pull.
‧ Save longer static stretches for after your workout instead of before.

At Back in Motion Physical Therapy and Spine Center, every treatment is designed to restore movement, reduce pain and inflammation, and bring your body back into balance — naturally. By addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms, we help you move, rest, and live with greater ease.

When we think about mental health, we often turn to therapy, mindfulness, or self-care routines. But there’s one key factor that’s often overlooked: spinal health.

Your spine isn’t just your body’s foundation; it’s the communication hub for your entire nervous system. When your spine is out of alignment, it can affect how your body and brain handle stress, mood, and energy.

Chiropractic care supports the nervous system by improving spinal alignment, reducing tension, and enhancing circulation, helping your body regulate stress hormones like cortisol. Patients often report feeling calmer, sleeping better, and experiencing more energy after adjustments.

By improving nerve function, chiropractic care can also encourage the release of “feel-good” hormones like endorphins and dopamine, which play a vital role in emotional balance and overall well-being.

Here are a few ways to support both your spinal and mental health every day:
• Practice good posture to reduce strain on your spine.
• Stay active with gentle movement like yoga or walking.
• Manage stress through deep breathing or quiet moments of mindfulness.
• Eat well and stay hydrated to keep your body functioning at its best.
• Schedule regular chiropractic check-ups to maintain spinal alignment and nervous system balance.

Take the first step toward a healthier mind and body.

Feeling achy while expecting? You’re not alone.

Pregnancy brings incredible changes — and sometimes, surprising joint pain. From sore hips and stiff fingers to shoulder tension and pelvic pressure, those aches can make daily life uncomfortable.

The good news? You don’t have to wait until after delivery for relief.
Gentle, pregnancy-safe chiropractic care can ease joint pain, reduce inflammation, and restore balance so you can move and rest more comfortably.

Common areas affected by prenatal joint pain:
• Hips – shifting posture and loosened joints can strain one side.
• Hands and fingers – swelling may trigger carpal tunnel–like pain.
• Pelvis and legs – increased weight and joint changes can cause stiffness or burning aches.
• Shoulders – posture shifts and side sleeping often create tension.

At Back in Motion, our chiropractors use safe, specialized techniques to realign your body, ease muscle stress, and support both mom and baby.

Training Soreness vs. Injury Pain

After a challenging workout, some soreness is expected, but how do you know when that discomfort signals progress or a possible injury?

At Back in Motion Physical Therapy & Spine Center, we help athletes and active individuals understand their bodies and train smarter. Knowing the difference between normal muscle soreness (DOMS) and true injury pain can prevent setbacks.

How to Tell the Difference

• Timing: Soreness appears 12–48 hours after exercise; injury pain often starts during or right after activity.

• Sensation: Soreness feels dull or tight; injury pain is sharp or pinpointed.

• Duration: Normal soreness fades within 3–5 days; pain that lingers or worsens may indicate damage.

• Swelling or Bruising: These are red flags for injury, not normal recovery.

• Movement: Soreness eases with light activity; injury pain persists or limits motion.

When Is It Safe to Keep Moving?
Mild, symmetrical soreness that improves with movement is usually safe to train through. Light activity, stretching, or mobility work can even help speed recovery.

When to Seek Professional Care
Sharp pain, swelling, or symptoms lasting longer than a week deserve attention. Early evaluation helps prevent long-term problems.

At Back in Motion, we develop personalized care plans — from chiropractic adjustments to strength and mobility exercises — to help you move safely, recover fully, and perform your best.

Sleep, Pain, and the Power of Balance

When our sleep patterns shift—like during Daylight Saving or seasonal changes—it’s not just our energy levels that are affected. Disrupted sleep can heighten pain sensitivity, making chronic discomforts feel sharper and recovery slower.

Your body’s internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm, regulates hormones, tissue repair, and even pain perception. When that rhythm is thrown off, inflammation rises and the body struggles to heal. The good news: a holistic approach can help restore that balance.

Here are a few strategies to support both pain relief and restful sleep:

• Mindfulness: Deep breathing, guided meditation, or gentle relaxation before bed help calm the nervous system and lower pain perception.

• Gut Health: Nourishing meals rich in anti-inflammatory foods can reduce systemic inflammation and support healthy sleep cycles.

• Sleep Hygiene: Keep a consistent bedtime, limit screens before bed, and create a dark, cool, quiet sleep environment.

• Lifestyle Habits: Get natural light exposure during the day, move regularly, and avoid caffeine late in the day to help your body stay in sync.

When these elements work together, they create a powerful cycle: better sleep supports healing, reduced pain supports deeper rest, and both contribute to lasting wellness.

If you’re struggling with pain or sleep disruption, our team can help identify the underlying causes and guide you toward recovery.

Happy 👻 Halloweenie!!! 🌭 🎃

🎃 Happy Halloween from Back in Motion!

Halloween can be full of fun, laughter, and memories for the whole family. A few simple wellness habits can help keep everyone feeling their best while enjoying the night.

Tips for a Healthy Halloween:
• Eat before trick-or-treating. A healthy dinner before heading out helps keep energy up and prevents candy overload later.
• Walk, don’t drive. Trick-or-treating on foot turns Halloween into a fun family activity and adds some gentle movement to your day. Just remember to wear supportive shoes.
• Create a candy plan. Let kids choose their favorites and spread out the rest over the week.
• Try healthier treats. Fruit monster faces, banana ghosts, or spiced apple muffins can be just as festive.
• Stretch before heading out. A few minutes of light stretching can help keep muscles and joints happy as you walk the neighborhood.

What’s your favorite wellness tip for Halloween night? Share it in the comments—we’d love to hear from you.

Even a “minor” car accident can leave your body with hidden injuries that show up days or even weeks later. Chiropractic care after an auto accident isn’t just about pain relief. It’s about protecting your long-term health and helping your body heal properly from the start.

5 Reasons to See a Chiropractor After an Auto Accident:
• Hidden or Delayed Injuries: Early care helps identify and treat issues like whiplash and micro-tears before they become chronic.
• Reduces Inflammation: Adjustments and therapies ease swelling and speed recovery.
• Non-Invasive & Drug-Free: Natural treatment helps your body heal without medication or surgery.
• Restores Mobility: Gentle chiropractic care improves range of motion and function.
• Prevents Long-Term Complications: Correcting spinal misalignments early helps avoid future pain and dysfunction.

Prompt, gentle treatment can make all the difference in your recovery. If you’ve been in a car accident, even a small one, it’s smart to get checked by a chiropractor.
