Have you ever noticed that your low back pain worsens when bending forward but eases when you lean back? 🤔

This pattern is known as directional preference, a key indicator for determining the most effective way to manage your pain. 💡

At our clinic, we assess your movement to determine which directions alleviate discomfort and which exacerbate it, then create a customized care plan to help you move comfortably again. 🙌

Don’t guess — let’s find your direction to relief!

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. 🙌

Neck pain doesn’t always start in your neck—it can actually come from stiffness in your midback. 💥 When your midback is tight, it can put extra stress on your neck, leading to discomfort, tension, and reduced range of motion.

Chiropractic adjustments help improve mobility, relieve tension, and restore proper alignment, allowing you to move freely and feel better. 🙌

Feeling numbness or tingling in your hands or feet? ✋🦶

This can sometimes result from irritated nerves in your spine, which are caused by poor posture, injury, or everyday wear and tear. When nerves are irritated, it can lead to discomfort, weakness, or a “pins and needles” sensation.

Chiropractic adjustments help alleviate that irritation, restore proper nerve function, reduce pain, and enhance your overall mobility. 💪

Don’t wait, book an appointment today to start feeling better!
