Hands falling asleep while typing? ⌨️

It could be carpal tunnel syndrome, caused by compression of the nerve in your wrist, often from prolonged computer use.

Recent research confirms that hands-on therapy is one of the most effective methods for reducing numbness and tingling. 🙌 Which is what we offer at our clinic!

Now that sickness season is here, try Dr. Lindsay’s go-to self lymphatic drainage routine for the head, face, and neck. 💆‍♀️

Use your favorite oil or lotion to help your hands glide easily, and spend a few minutes easing away that heaviness, puffiness, and sinus pressure.

This is a great one for kids too — gentle, soothing, and simple to follow. 💛

If your upper back, neck, or shoulders start to ache when you’re sick—don’t wait! Schedule a visit so we can help you feel your best. ✨

Feeling dizzy after a car accident? 🚗💥

It could be a concussion, whiplash, or something often missed: BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). BPPV happens when tiny crystals in your inner ear shift, causing dizziness.

That’s why a full exam after an accident is so important, so nothing gets overlooked! ✅

Most patients who come in with lower back pain don’t actually have a “lifting problem” — they have a movement problem.

At Premier Rehab, we teach you how to move the right way — step by step.

1️⃣ Learn proper spinal alignment and posture.
2️⃣ Rebuild your squat with control and support.
3️⃣ Learn how to brace your core and create proper abdominal pressure — in a way that’s simple, safe, and easy to understand.
4️⃣ Then, take those fundamentals into real-life strength and performance.

When you move with intention, your body becomes more resilient — and back pain starts to fade away.

Thumb or wrist pain? 📱 Your phone might be to blame.

Too much scrolling or repetitive hand movements can irritate the tendons near your thumb and wrist, leading to a condition called de Quervain’s tenosynovitis. This can make gripping, texting, or even holding objects uncomfortable or painful.

Chiropractic care, combined with targeted stretches and activity modifications, can often help reduce irritation, relieve pain, and restore proper function. 🙌

What’s the best exercise combo for older adults with back pain? 💡

A study found that trunk muscle strengthening helps, but combining it with aerobic exercise delivers bigger wins—less pain, better function, lower fall risk, and improved mood.

So, resistance exercise builds stability, but moving your heart amplifies results, too. Call our office today so we can help you get started! 📞

Have hip pain? It might not just be your hip. 🦴

Sometimes hip pain (like hip impingement, when the joint doesn’t move smoothly) shows up along with problems in the low back or the SI joint—the joint that connects your spine and pelvis. Researchers found:

🔹 Many people with hip issues also have SI joint problems
🔹 Spine problems can sometimes cause hip changes too
🔹 Having both hip and back issues can make recovery slower

👉 Takeaway: Hip pain and back pain often go hand-in-hand. If your hip keeps bothering you, it’s worth checking the whole picture. Call our office today to schedule your appointment! 📞

📱 More screen time = higher health risks!

Kids and teens who spend lots of time on screens have a greater risk of future heart and metabolic issues—especially if they aren’t getting enough sleep.

Family reminder: less screen, more sleep, more movement! 💛

Your back muscles play a big role in how your spine feels. 💪

Research shows that people with ongoing low back pain often have weaker muscles and more fatty tissue in their backs—especially in the muscles that help stabilize the spine. Over time, this can make pain worse.

The good news? Stronger, healthier back muscles are linked to less pain and a better quality of life. 🙌

If back pain keeps returning, we can help you build a plan to restore muscle health. Call today or schedule your appointment! 📞
