What if you took a break from social media for just one week? 📱❌

A study found that young adults who reduced their social media use for 7 days experienced less anxiety and depression and improved sleep. Even a short reset can make a difference! 😌✨

Try a digital detox and notice how your mental (and physical) tension changes! 🌿💤

Ever notice your head drifting forward the longer you sit… followed by neck pain? 💻😣

A recent study found that individuals who let their heads drift forward while sitting also reported more neck pain. Their neck muscles were working harder to hold up the head, which can lead to strain over time. 💪

If neck pain shows up during desk work or screen time, assessing posture, muscle balance, and endurance can help guide your effective care and prevention.

We’re here to help. Give our office a call!

Worried about arm or hand weakness from a pinched nerve? 🤚💪

When neck nerves become irritated, they can cause tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arm, a condition known as cervical radiculopathy.

The good news? Most people experience improvement with non-surgical care within 2–3 months, especially when treatment is initiated early. Our hands-on care can help improve neck mobility, reduce nerve irritation, and support muscle strength. 🙌

If symptoms persist, schedule an evaluation with us today! 📞

Have you ever noticed that your joints ache more when the weather changes? Many people with arthritis feel stiffer or more uncomfortable during cold, damp days. ❄️

Keeping joints mobile with gentle exercises, staying warm, and maintaining proper alignment through chiropractic and osteopathic care can help alleviate discomfort and enhance mobility. Your body responds better to movement and support than to inactivity! 🦵💪

Don’t let the weather slow you down. Let us help you move comfortably throughout the year.

Could your environment be fueling inflammation? 🌍🔥

New research found microplastics in the joints of people with rheumatoid arthritis. These tiny particles may trigger “aggressive” behavior in joint cells, leading to increased pain and tissue damage.

The takeaway: Inflammation isn’t just genetics. Supporting your body’s natural detox and reducing environmental exposures is more important than ever! 💪

Consider a visit with our Naturopath to dig deeper into how environmental factors might be contributing to your pain.
