Consistency matters for your trunk and postural muscles! 💪

A 12-week study showed that doing supervised trunk/postural muscle exercises 4x per week improved stability and reduced disability more than 2x per week.

That’s why we ask if you’re keeping up with your trunk and postural muscle strengthening! 😉

Less active = more pain 😣

A recent study found that less active people had more disability, more sites of pain, and felt “heavier” overall.

The good news? 🙌
✅ Gentle, consistent movement helps joints feel better
✅ Stronger muscles + better sleep = big impact
✅ Progress matters more than perfection

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. 🙌

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.

🎥 Watch this video to learn how we treat tennis elbow and get you back to your favorite activities pain-free. https://www.youtube.com/embed/3mNAbTxLOLQ?rel=0

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. 👍

Does coffee help or hurt migraines? The answer might surprise you. ☕️

A new study found that regular coffee drinkers may have a lower risk of developing migraines. Certain compounds in coffee may help protect against migraine attacks.

But here’s the catch. If you suddenly stop drinking coffee or have too much, it can temporarily trigger headaches for some people. That’s why the coffee–migraine connection has been so confusing.

The bottom line? For many people, coffee in moderation might be part of the solution, not the problem.

Learning how your daily habits affect your symptoms can make a real difference if you have recurring headaches or migraines.

Sitting too long can do more than cause stiffness—it can impact blood sugar too. 🪑🩸

A recent study found that short movement breaks every 45 minutes, like a 3-minute walk or a few squats, help control blood sugar better than one long walk.

The key: regular movement throughout the day supports your muscles, joints, heart, and even your metabolism. 🏃‍♀️‍➡️

If you sit for long periods, we can help you build easy ways to stay active and protect your health. Schedule an appointment today! 🗓️
