Did You Know... Chronic pain isn't like gray hair and wrinkles. It doesn't have to RSVP to your life's events just because you've added a few more candles to your birthday cake.

Did You Know... There's a myth floating around that says surgery is the one and only long-term solution for chronic pain. But take it from us—it's not the only road to relief.

The truth is, many people find real and lasting relief from chronic pain with physical therapy, chiropractic care, and other natural, non-invasive options.

In our practice, we've seen big wins using movement as medicine, and we're here for you! Why It Matters And get this.

Trust us, it's not. Our team is dedicated to helping you navigate the many non-surgical routes to real, lasting relief. If you're ready to explore these options, give us a call. We'd love to help you take this step towards a pain-free future! Until next week, make time for your self-care.

Did You Know... Kids who play sports are more likely to excel in academics. That's right, sports aren't just fun and games—they're a developmental goldmine! But here's the kicker: while athletics offer a playground for growth in more ways than one, overuse injuries are becoming increasingly common with many children participating in organized sports year-round. And because your child's skeletal system is actively developing until they are approximately 25 years old, even small unchecked injuries to their spine can create bigger challenges down the road as they get older. Why It Matters And get this. Nearly half of all youth sports injuries are overuse-related. Baseball and volleyball players and gymnasts are especially prone to these injuries. Next Steps The good news? You can change the game! Our chiropractic expertise isn't just for adults—it's for young athletes too. We're all about improving posture, enhancing flexibility, and keeping those developing spines in top shape. So, what are you waiting for? Schedule an appointment for your young star today. We'll tailor a kid-approved plan that helps ensure they—and you—can enjoy their sports journey and beyond injury-free for years to come. Until next week, make time for your self-care.

Have you ever had a moment where you felt a jolt in your back—maybe when reaching for that last grocery bag or a toddler whizzing by? Odds are, you have. Now, did you feel like [A] you just "overdid" it or [B] it came out of nowhere? If you answered [B], that ouch moment might be hinting at stenosis—which, simply put, is a tightening of the spaces in your spine that can put pressure on your nerves. And the thing is, it's very common and often develops very slowly. A colleague comes to mind—she's active, loves weekend hikes, and volunteers as a soccer coach. About a month ago, she came in after noticing this nagging twinge whenever she turned. And, you guessed it, we found some stenosis. Call to Schedule Now, if her symptoms ring a bell, don't run off and into a Dr. Google rabbit hole. If you have concerns about your back health, you're already in the right place! The truth is, adjustments can do wonders for stenosis in the neck or back. And get this—on her last visit, that colleague shared she's playing in a golf tournament and gearing up to coach volleyball. She's back to doing what she loves and more! Until next week, make time for your self-care.
