Day in the life of a chiropractor — Sunday edition 🗂️🩺

Sundays start early in the clinic — and for good reason.
Before the first patient arrives, I spend time preparing so each visit is focused, efficient, and personalized.

Here’s what that prep looks like:
📋 Reviewing patient files
📝 Completing doctor notes
🩻 Ordering imaging when needed (like X-rays)
🧘‍♂️ Planning stretches and lifestyle modifications to support recovery

I aim to arrive at least 30 minutes before my shift and finish about 30 minutes after the last patient. That time allows for proper wrap-up, team communication, and making sure every patient’s care plan is clear moving forward.

Good outcomes start with good preparation.

Protect your knees on the recumbent bike 🚴‍♂️🦵

Quick gym tip from today’s workout 👇
When using the recumbent bike, make sure your seat isn’t set so far back that your knee fully locks out at the end of the pedal stroke.

🔑 The key:
✔️ Keep at least 10° of bend in your knee
✔️ Avoid hyperextension and locking
✔️ Protect the knee’s natural locking pattern (called the screw-home mechanism)

Fully locking the knee over and over can increase stress and raise the risk of irritation or injury. A small bend goes a long way in keeping your knees healthy while cycling.

If you’re dealing with knee pain or want help making sure your movement patterns are joint-friendly:

Post-workout fuel today = chicken salad 🥗
Chicken + leftover coleslaw after a morning of errands, grocery shopping, and a stop at Best Buy — then a 45-minute stationary bike workout 🚴‍♂️

Next stop: the clinic.
We had a few calls this morning, including a new patient and someone dealing with a hip issue — and yes, I’m in on Sundays for emergencies. People don’t plan pain, and having care available on a Sunday makes a big difference for our community.

If you’re hurting and need help — even on a weekend — we’ve got you covered.

Gym tip to protect your knees 🚴‍♂️🦵

If you’re using a stationary bike, here’s a simple adjustment that can help prevent knee injury 👇

When your leg is at the bottom of the pedal stroke, avoid fully locking your knee.
That last 5–10 degrees of straightening is a natural locking mechanism in the knee — and repeatedly locking it can increase stress and risk of injury.

✅ Set your bike seat so there’s always a slight bend in your knee at full extension (about 10° or more).
Your knees will thank you — especially if you bike often.

Knee pain isn’t always “just the knee.” 🦵

Dr. Cary Yurkiw was recently breaking down the real reasons behind knee pain — and it often starts with misalignment from old injuries, imbalances in the hips, or even how your ankle and foot move when you walk.

When one side of the knee takes more stress than the other, pain, swelling, and stiffness can follow.
That’s why at Tutt Street Family Chiropractic, we don’t just chase symptoms — we correct the root cause.

✨ Our approach may include:
✔️ Precise chiropractic adjustments to realign the knee
✔️ Shockwave & laser therapy to help tissues heal
✔️ Orthotics to support proper posture and movement

If knee pain is slowing you down, you don’t have to live with it.

Headaches aren’t always “just headaches.” 🤕

Lately, we’ve been seeing many patients struggling with headaches — and one of the most common causes is misalignment in the neck combined with poor range of motion.

When the neck isn’t moving or aligned properly, it can:
• Irritate or pinch nerves
• Restrict healthy blood flow to the brain
• Create tension, pressure, and recurring headaches

By gently realigning the neck, we help restore proper nerve and blood flow, improve mobility, and reduce headache frequency and intensity.

We also support healing with simple lifestyle tools:
💧 Better hydration
⚡ Electrolytes
🧘 Magnesium to relax muscles and improve sleep

If headaches are interfering with your day, don’t ignore them.

Slippery roads = higher risk of accidents ❄️🚗

With the snow, rain, and ice lately, we’re seeing more car accidents — and many people don’t realize what they’re automatically entitled to under ICBC.

If you’ve been in a car accident in BC:
✔️ ICBC covers everyone in the vehicle
✔️ It’s no-fault coverage
✔️ You’re automatically approved for 25 chiropractic sessions over 12 weeks

The most important thing? Don’t wait.
The sooner you come in for care, the better your body can heal — and the less chance scar tissue and long-term pain have to set in.

Sometimes it’s the simplest things.
Today I brought home flowers for my wife — no special occasion, no agenda — just a small reminder that she’s loved and appreciated. 🌸

Moments like this matter. They slow the day down, soften the edges, and strengthen the connection that really counts. If you’re thinking about doing something kind for someone you love, this is your sign.

What small gesture made someone smile for you recently?

Knee pain changed my life — and my career. 🦵✨

When I was a teenager, I struggled with constant knee pain — especially under the kneecap. Every fall on the ice playing hockey, every soccer game at school… the pain just kept coming back.

After multiple doctor visits, my parents finally took me to a chiropractor. He examined my knees, took X-rays, found the real problem, and started treating the underlying issue — not just the symptoms.

Within 2–3 months, my knees were completely healed.
And in that moment, I knew: this is what I want to do.

Fast forward 31 years later, and here I am — helping others in Kelowna overcome knee pain and get back to living actively.

If knee pain is holding you back, don’t ignore it or “push through.”

Let’s find the cause — and fix it.

Knee pain isn’t one-size-fits-all 🦵

Lately, we’ve been seeing a lot of knee pain in the clinic — and the causes can vary more than most people realize.

Knee pain may come from:
• A previous injury
• Uneven weight-bearing due to poor posture
• Sprained ligaments or bursitis
• Cartilage damage
• Patellofemoral syndrome (when the kneecap doesn’t glide properly, causing friction, pain, and cracking sounds)

That’s why the first step is always a proper assessment. Once we understand why your knee hurts, we focus on correcting alignment and improving function with:
✔️ Chiropractic adjustments
✔️ Shockwave & laser therapy for soft tissue healing
✔️ Orthotics when needed for better support

If knee pain is limiting your movement or slowing you down, don’t guess — get it assessed properly.

Your neck isn’t just a stack of bones — it’s a complex system protecting nerves, blood flow, and brain communication.

The cervical spine (C1–C7) plays a major role in:
• Neck pain
• Tension headaches
• Migraines
• Shoulder and upper-back tightness

When these vertebrae lose proper alignment or motion, it can irritate nerves and surrounding tissues — often showing up as persistent neck pain or headaches.

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring normal movement and alignment in the cervical spine, helping:
✔ Reduce joint and nerve irritation
✔ Improve mobility and posture
✔ Decrease headache frequency and intensity
✔ Support long-term spinal health

If neck pain or headaches are affecting your day, don’t ignore the source.

This morning’s yoga routine is one I regularly recommend to patients—simple, effective, and easy to do at home.

I start with a forward fold, which gently stretches the low back and helps release tension from sitting, stress, and daily activity. From there, I move into a cobra-style extension, opening the front of the body and reducing stiffness through the spine.

Next are upper-back and chest openers, done one side at a time. These are excellent for posture, breathing, and restoring movement through the upper spine—especially if you spend long hours at a desk or driving.

I always finish with a few moments of quiet reflection. That pause matters. It reinforces the mind–body connection and helps calm the nervous system, which plays a major role in pain, recovery, and overall health.

If you’re dealing with back stiffness, tension, or want guidance on movements that actually support your spine, this is something we help patients with every day in the clinic.
