How I support arthritic joints safely

Some joints need mobility, others need stability, and arthritic tissues need respect.

After nearly 20 years in practice, I've learned something important about arthritis pain: the joint that hurts isn't always the real problem.

Let me explain what I mean.

Someone comes in with a knee that aches every morning. Stiff, painful, and yes - there's arthritis on the imaging. But when I watch them move, when I check how their hip rotates and whether their ankle has proper range, I find something interesting. That knee is compensating for other joints that aren't doing their job.

The arthritic knee is overloaded.

It's working overtime because the joints above and below aren't pulling their weight. That extra load creates more inflammation, more pain, more breakdown than the arthritis itself would cause on its own.

Now, I can't reverse arthritis. I won't pretend otherwise. The cartilage changes are there, and they're real.

But here's what I can do as a doctor of chiropractic: I can figure out which segments are overloaded, apply low-force adjustments where it's safe to do so, work on the soft tissue around the joint, and coach you through movements that complement what your medical doctor is already doing.

If there's active swelling? I don't adjust that joint. Period.

Instead, I work around it. I address the surrounding tissues. I help you understand which movements support healing and which ones add stress to an already irritated area.

My goal is simple: reduce the compensations that make your arthritis hurt worse than it needs to. This approach takes time and careful assessment, and it works best alongside your other medical care - not as a replacement for it.

Over the years, I've seen patients regain movement they thought was gone for good. Not because the arthritis disappeared, but because we reduced the load on those joints and improved how the surrounding areas function.

If you're dealing with arthritis and you're looking for ways to move better without just masking symptoms, this might be worth exploring.

I'd be happy to sit down with you at our Prince George practice and talk about what's possible for your situation.

What's been your experience with managing arthritis? Have you found approaches that actually helped you stay active? Drop a comment - I'd genuinely like to hear what's working for people.

From pain-free to game-ready.

Those aren't the same thing, and that gap is where most athletes get themselves into trouble.

I notice something the moment an athlete walks into my office. They're minimizing how bad it really is. Young hockey player, heard something pop last game, but hey... the pain's already better so they figure they should be good to go by tomorrow, maybe the next day at the latest.

I get it. I was a high-level wrestler at SFU. I've been on that side of the injury, wanting to get back out there as fast as possible.

But here's what I do instead of arguing with them.

I get them to do a simple movement. Squats. Jumping. Bend over and pick something up off the floor.

If there's a groan, a limp, a stagger... I point it out.

"You couldn't even complete that basic activity. Now you're gonna try and play a game of hockey?"

Then I ask the question that reframes everything: "Are you gonna be an asset out there, or are you gonna cost your team a game?"

That question changes the entire conversation.

Because every athlete wants to help their team win. They don't want to be the liability on the ice. Once you point out a couple of things and they understand that they need to be healthy to actually contribute, they're all in on the recovery process.

And that's one massive difference I see with athletes compared to non-athletes - the motivation to do their home care and follow through with their recovery plans is completely different.

So what does being ready actually mean?

Being pain-free isn't the same as being performance-ready. When I'm assessing these athletes, I'm looking at basic movement dynamics, comparing one side to the other, lateral movement, some ballistic movements to see what's really going on.

Once we hit a fault, we stop. There's no sense stressing the system more to just prove a point.

Here's the thing about sports recovery that most people miss - if the joint isn't moving fully, it can't rehab properly. We need contraction across the entire range to truly stabilize a joint. Same thing with low backs. You cannot get a back rehabbed until it's moving fully.

Your ankle might not hurt anymore, but if it's still restricted by even 15-20%, your knee is picking up the slack every single stride. The decreased dorsiflexion in the ankle leads to increased wear and tear on the knee. Now you have a knee issue that won't resolve until you address what's happening downstream at that ankle.

I see this pattern constantly with the Prince George Cougars and Kodiaks athletes I work with.

Or take shoulders. Shoulders are actually the easiest thing to assess for range of motion - I lift both elbows and see how high one goes compared to the other. The injured side is restricted, doesn't give that full range of motion arc.

I adjust the shoulder, we're moving the humerus in the glenoid fossa, then I post-check immediately. It's typical to see a 30% improvement in that range of motion second to second. Almost instant.

But here's where the athlete's role becomes critical.

I've restored that range of motion in the moment. Now we need to prevent it from tightening back up, and that's where shoulder stabilization exercises come in - internal and external rotators, the rest of the rotator cuff.

And here's something I find consistently: weakness in the posterior shoulder. Everybody's strong up front. Not so much pulling back. So we work the posterior shoulder heavily.

Athletes will do these exercises because they're motivated. If they do them, the shoulder stabilizes. If not, recovery takes much longer... they just don't hold as well as they could.

Research shows that athletes who seek care within seven days of injury recover an average of four days faster than those who delay treatment. That early intervention window matters because we can address movement restrictions before compensation patterns set in.

And this is where Eat Well-Move Well-Think Well® becomes your roadmap for getting back to competition.

You can't out-supplement poor movement mechanics. You can't out-exercise a restricted joint. And you definitely can't think your way past compensation patterns your body's already locked in.

Health is a process, not an event. All three pillars have to work together - the nutrition that supports tissue healing, the movement quality that prevents re-injury, and the mindset that keeps you committed to the recovery process even when you're feeling better but aren't quite ready yet.

When I work with these athletes, I'm not trying to be the only answer. Different professionals bring different tools. My role as a doctor of chiropractic is restoring full joint range of motion so that strengthening and rehabilitation can actually work.

So if you're dealing with an injury right now, ask yourself honestly: would you be an asset out there, or would you be playing hurt and hoping it holds together?

Confidence on game day doesn't come from ignoring pain. It comes from knowing your body has passed the stress tests it's about to face.

That's what game-ready really means.

Like this if you've pushed through an injury and paid for it later. Comment below if you're dealing with something right now - I'd like to hear what you're working through. 👇

The three questions I ask every new patient

What do you eat?

How do you move?

How do you think under stress?

I've been asking these three questions since I opened the practice back in 2005, and they tell me more than any X-ray or exam ever could.

Most people come in expecting me to focus only on where it hurts. And we do address that, absolutely. But here's what I've noticed over nearly two decades treating families in Prince George...

The pain is rarely just about the pain.

That low back issue that keeps coming back? When we dig into it, there's usually a movement pattern that needs attention. Or maybe there isn't much movement at all, and that's the real problem.

The neck tension that shows up every afternoon around 3pm? I can adjust the spine and restore function, but if someone's carrying stress like a backpack full of rocks all day long, we're only treating part of the picture.

The exhaustion that nothing seems to fix? Nine times out of ten, when we look at what's actually on the plate each day, we find the answer sitting right there.

I tell patients this all the time: I'm not here to just crack your back and send you on your way.

As doctors of chiropractic, we're trained to look at the whole person. Your spine doesn't exist in isolation from the rest of your life. How you eat, how you move, how you handle stress... these things either support your body's ability to heal and function, or they work against it.

So after we talk through those three questions, I give people a simple homework assignment. Nothing fancy:

→ Write down everything you eat for three days (and I mean everything, including that handful of chips you grabbed standing at the counter)

→ Track how much you actually move throughout the day, not what you think you're doing

→ Pay attention to when stress hits and what happens in your body when it does

Most people find their biggest lever within 48 hours.

The person who realizes they've been living on coffee and sandwiches all week. The one who sees they're sitting for 11 straight hours except to walk to the bathroom. The parent who notices they literally hold their breath every time their phone buzzes.

That awareness? That's where change starts.

Look, I love what I do. I've seen chiropractic care produce incredible results when we address spinal function properly. But I'm also realistic about this...

If someone keeps eating in a way that creates inflammation, or they never move their body in meaningful ways, or they're drowning in stress without any outlet... the adjustments help, but we're really just managing symptoms.

The adjustment restores function. The lifestyle choices you make every single day determine whether that function sticks around.

You don't need some complicated protocol to get started. You just need to see what you're actually doing, and then make one real change that moves you toward eating well, moving well, or thinking well.

Start there. Everything else builds from that foundation.

So here's my question for you: which of those three is your biggest lever right now?

Like this if you already know the answer. Comment if you're actively working on one and want to share what's helping... I'd love to hear what's working for people. 💪

The two-minute reset for tense days.

I see it all the time in the office. Someone walks in with their shoulders practically touching their ears, jaw clenched so tight I can see it from across the room.

They're stressed. And their body is screaming about it.

Here's what most people don't realize: stress doesn't just live in your head. Your nervous system goes into fight-or-flight mode and then forgets how to shut off. Your neck tightens up, your lower back locks down, and you end up walking around braced for impact even when there's nothing to brace for.

So I teach patients a quick routine for when stress spikes and they need to break that muscle-guarding cycle. Two minutes, works anywhere, helps you think clearly enough to actually get on with your day.

Box breathing first → breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4. Do that three times.

Then some rib mobility → put your hands behind your head and rotate side to side, slow and controlled. Ten each direction.

Finish with chin tucks → gentle tuck, hold for 5 seconds, release. Three times total.

That's it.

Now here's why this works better when you're getting adjusted regularly. When your spine is aligned and your nervous system is functioning the way it should, your body can actually shift into that parasympathetic mode... the rest-and-digest response that counteracts all that tension. The adjustments we do as doctors of chiropractic support that shift.

Without that foundation, you're managing symptoms. With it, you're addressing the physical component of stress at the source.

Next time your shoulders are up by your ears and your brain feels foggy, try the routine. Two minutes. See what happens.

I'd love to hear what you do when stress shows up physically. Drop a comment if you've found something that actually helps.

The 24 hour test that guides your comeback

I learned this lesson the hard way, both as a wrestler at SFU and now treating athletes for nearly 20 years.

You feel good in the moment. Adrenaline's pumping, you're motivated, you push through that last set or that extra round of exercises. Then you wake up the next morning and realize you just set yourself back a week.

I see this constantly with the players I treat from the Cougars and Kodiaks. These are competitive athletes who want to get back on the ice or field yesterday, and I get it... I was the same way. But wanting to be ready and actually being ready are two very different things.

So here's what I teach every single patient dealing with a sports injury:

After any rehab session or workout, wait 24 hours, then honestly assess your pain and swelling compared to before you started.

→ Higher than before? You did too much, dial it back
→ Same or less? You can progress to the next level

That's your compass.

The 24-hour window is critical because that's when inflammation shows its hand. You might feel fine immediately after because endorphins are doing their job, masking what's really happening in the tissue. But the next morning? That's when you get the truth.

This removes all the emotion from recovery, and trust me, there's a lot of emotion involved when you're injured and trying to get back to doing what you love. You're not relying on how tough you think you should be or how motivated you feel on any given day... you're relying on objective feedback from the tissue that's actually trying to heal.

In my experience since opening this practice in 2005, the patients who recover fastest aren't always the ones grinding the hardest. They're the ones who respect what their body is telling them 24 hours later, not just in the heat of the moment.

Effective sports injury treatment involves multiple pieces working together. As doctors of chiropractic, we restore proper joint mechanics and movement patterns. We prescribe targeted rehab exercises to rebuild strength and stability. Sometimes we coordinate with other healthcare providers when the injury requires additional expertise. But all of that only works if you're progressing at the rate your body can actually handle.

Without this daily feedback loop, you're just guessing.

And guessing is how you end up back in my office three weeks later with the same injury, only worse.

The 24-hour test gives you permission to push forward when you're legitimately ready, and it protects you from your own competitive nature when you're not. That's the difference between a real comeback and a cycle of re-injury that keeps you sidelined for months.

Like and comment if you've ever ignored what your body was screaming at you the next morning and paid the price 💪

The maintenance plan I use with competitive athletes

Preseason screen. Weekly micro-adjustments during heavy training cycles. Taper week checks before competition.

That's the cadence.

I use this with every Cougars and Kodiaks player who comes through our office, and after years of watching athletes either stay in the game or sit on the sidelines, I can tell you the difference has nothing to do with how tough they are or how much pain they can push through.

Athletes on this schedule come in with tweaks. We address them in 10 minutes and they're back to practice.

Athletes who wait?

They come in unable to play, and we're looking at weeks of recovery for something that could've been caught in a five-minute adjustment three weeks earlier.

The difference is how your nervous system responds when you're under load.

Research on proprioception shows that regular chiropractic care improves sensory input and motor response time... your body literally processes threats faster and stabilizes better when you take a hit. In game situations, you've got milliseconds for your joints to stabilize and your reflexes to fire. When that neural control is optimized, you handle the same trauma with better outcomes.

The preseason screen is where we catch compensation patterns before they matter.

Maybe your right SI joint isn't moving well, so your hip and lumbar spine are picking up extra work. Under light training load that's fine. But when you hit game intensity, that compensation breaks down and suddenly you've got an injury nowhere near the original restriction.

I see this constantly.

Weekly adjustments during heavy cycles keep everything tracking properly when demand is highest. Tissues adapt better when the system is optimized.

Taper week checks make sure you're going into competition with full range and no hidden restrictions waiting to surface under pressure.

This is load management applied to nervous system function, and most of the athletes I work with were dealing with 2-3 acute episodes per year before we started maintenance care. Now they finish seasons healthy. The math alone makes sense, but the real win is not having to choose between playing hurt and sitting out.

About 90% of professional athletes use chiropractic care.

Every NFL team has an official team chiropractor performing 30-50 treatments weekly during season. Elite sports already know this works.

You don't wait for the engine to fail before you change the oil.

If you're training seriously, this protocol gives your nervous system the best chance to handle what you're demanding from it.

What does your maintenance routine look like? Comment below if you're already doing something similar, or if you're still in the "wait until something breaks" camp.

The mistake sciatica patients repeat

They chase the leg pain.

I see it constantly. Someone comes in after months of treating their leg. Stretching the hamstring. Icing the calf. Resting when it flares.

But the leg is just reporting the problem.

After 20 years of practice, I can tell you the source is almost always in your low back. A lumbar disc pressing on the nerve. An SI joint that's stuck. Sometimes a piriformis muscle that won't release.

The pain shoots down your leg because that's where the nerve goes. But treating the leg while ignoring your back is like replacing your check engine light instead of checking your engine.

A study just came out analyzing 216 million patients. Massive scale. And it confirmed what I see daily in Prince George.

People who got chiropractic care for sciatica had 71% fewer opioid-related adverse events. They also had a 32% lower risk of getting prescribed opioids at all.

But forget the stats for a second.

Here's what actually happens in my office. Someone walks in frustrated because they've been managing their pain for months. Pills help for a while. Then their body adapts. Now they're just waiting for the next episode.

We do something different.

Find the mechanical issue irritating that nerve. Remove the trigger. Adjust the lumbar spine if that's the problem. Release the SI joint if it's locked up. Work on the piriformis if it's clamping down.

Once you take pressure off the nerve, the leg pain goes away.

Years ago I treated a guy who worked at an auto parts store. He'd dealt with sciatica for years. We got him stable, kept him on maintenance. One day he came in smiling, telling me his back hurt.

I was confused.

He explained. Had to grab a starter from the bottom shelf in a tight corner. Awkward lift. Before we started treatment, that movement would have laid him up for two weeks, unable to work.

This time?

Sore for a couple hours. Then fine.

His body could handle stress again without triggering a full episode. That's restoring function, not masking symptoms.

The research backs this approach with population data. But I don't show patients studies. They don't care about populations... they care about whether their specific case will improve.

And in 20 years, I've learned this: address the mechanical problem in your back, and your leg stops screaming.

Chiropractic first. Medication second. Surgery last.

Not because other treatments are wrong. But because that's the order that makes sense for your body.

The three questions I ask every sciatica patient

Where does it travel, what eases it, what brings it on.

I learn more from those three answers in five minutes than most imaging studies tell me in the first visit, and here's why that matters to anyone dealing with leg pain right now.

"Sciatica" isn't a diagnosis.

It's a description. Pain radiating down the back of your leg. That's it.

It's like telling me you have a headache without mentioning if it's behind your eyes, throbbing at your temples, or wrapping around the back of your skull... each of those patterns points to something completely different.

So when someone walks into my Prince George practice and tells me they've been treating their sciatica for months with no improvement, my first question is always: what are we actually dealing with?

**Where does it travel?**

Knee? Foot? Back of the leg or wrapping to the side?

The nerve pathways don't lie. They follow specific routes, and where your pain goes tells me which nerve root is involved and what structure might be compressing it.

**What eases it?**

Sitting, standing, walking, lying down... each position either loads or unloads different structures in your spine and pelvis.

If sitting makes it worse, that's a completely different mechanical problem than if standing triggers it. The pattern of relief points directly to the source.

**What brings it on?**

Bending forward? Twisting? Staying still too long?

This is the mechanical trigger, the movement or position that's stressing the nerve and setting off the whole chain reaction of symptoms down your leg.

Those three pieces of information help me distinguish between a disc herniation, a hip or SI joint issue, or muscle entrapment like piriformis syndrome.

Get those right and the treatment plan writes itself.

I see patients every week who've spent months doing glute stretches and rolling tennis balls on their piriformis because someone told them they had "sciatica." They had basically no back pain, so they never thought to look there.

Then I show them an anatomical model and they see that the nerve causing all their leg pain originates from L4, L5, or S1 in the lumbar spine... and suddenly it clicks.

From a chiropractic perspective I need to get that lumbar segment or SI joint moving properly first, because it's incredibly difficult to rehabilitate tissue that's being constantly irritated by a joint that won't move right.

Once that joint releases through adjustment, then the stretching and strengthening exercises most people know from PT actually work.

You can't treat the joint, nerve, and muscle separately. They affect each other constantly.

The joint stresses the nerve, the nerve affects muscle function, the muscle pulls on the joint... treating them in isolation just doesn't work, which is why so many people get stuck in that cycle of temporary relief followed by the same problem coming right back.

Real talk about timelines: I expect to see improvement within one to two weeks, but complete resolution depends entirely on what we're actually treating.

Long-standing degeneration or significant muscle weakness extends the process. If you've been dealing with this for months or years, there's no quick fix... but there is a clear path forward once we know what we're dealing with.

People can't afford to be injured right now. They can't take a week off work. That's why getting the diagnosis right from the start matters so much.

The difference between treating generic "sciatica" and treating the actual cause of your specific symptoms is the difference between months of frustration and a clear path back to your normal life.

Like this if you've dealt with leg pain that wouldn't go away, and drop a comment with where your pain travels... I'm curious how many of you are dealing with true sciatic nerve patterns vs something else entirely 👇

From sore by Wednesday to steady all week.

I see this every September and October. Kids come into the practice with low back pain. I ask about their backpack weight, and parents look at me like I'm speaking another language.

The connection seems obvious to me now, but I get why they miss it.

When every single kid in the same grade carries the same textbooks, when every parent remembers their own heavy backpack from childhood, it stops looking like a problem. It just becomes background noise. Normal.

But here's what normal doesn't change: biomechanics.

A 50-pound child carrying 15 pounds of books and supplies faces the same relative spinal load as a 200-pound adult hauling 70 pounds around all day, every day. The math is pretty unforgiving on developing spines.

I worked with a family recently where their daughter followed the same pattern every week. Fine on Monday. Decent Tuesday. Wednesday afternoon she'd start asking for shoulder rubs. Thursday and Friday were rough. Weekends brought relief, and then Monday rolled around again.

We didn't add appointments.

Swapped her backpack style to one that distributed weight across her hips better, not just her shoulders. Adjusted the straps so the pack sat higher on her back instead of hanging low. Then we set up a simple Sunday night routine: weigh the pack on the bathroom scale, pull out everything that didn't absolutely need to make the trip, and reorganize so the heaviest items stayed in the compartment closest to her spine.

Two weeks in, the midweek shoulder rubs stopped.

Her mom mentioned something I wasn't expecting... her focus after school improved. Makes sense when you think about it. She wasn't spending all day compensating for discomfort, so she had more energy left for homework and activities.

Small systematic changes, steady gains.

The tricky part isn't the solution itself. It's recognizing that something affecting everyone might still be worth questioning. Universal doesn't mean healthy.

Does this sound familiar in your house? Hit like if your kid's ever complained about backpack pain, and drop a comment with what grade they're in. I'm curious how widespread this really is 👇

Patients kept saying the same thing.

"I thought I'd need this forever."

They meant the pain patterns. The flare-ups that kept circling back.

I started explaining it differently. You're carrying a backpack full of rocks. Poor sleep, sitting eight hours straight, inflammatory foods, structural issues that never got addressed.

Most people just tighten the straps.

Better pain management. Stronger medications. More appointments.

But this year I watched three people do something else.

---

A 52-year-old I'd been seeing monthly for eight years. Low back pain, managed with medication and regular adjustments. Working fine, but he kept cycling back to acute flare-ups every month or so.

We added morning walks. Just 15 minutes, before his coffee.

That's it.

Two months later his flare-up cycle stretched from every 4-5 weeks to every 3-4 months. Still on his medication. Still coming in. Just removed one rock from the backpack.

---

Another patient, 38, neck tension that kept coming back despite solid physical therapy twice a week. Results were good but temporary... like she was constantly chasing the same problem.

We looked at her desk setup during an adjustment.

Monitor too low. Documents flat on the desk, so she looked down constantly.

Raised the monitor six inches. Added a cheap document holder.

Two weeks later the tension pattern shifted. She finished her PT program and now maintains every six weeks instead of crisis-managing every two.

---

Third one hit different.

44-year-old under rheumatology care for chronic inflammation and joint pain. Medication working well, everything managed properly. But she asked if there was anything else she could try.

Nutrition conversation. We talked about seed oils and omega-3s.

She made the swap. Didn't touch her medication protocol at all.

Three months later her rheumatologist called to say inflammation markers dropped enough to reduce her dosage.

---

None of them abandoned what was working.

They just took weight out.

Small unloads outperformed constant adjustments to the straps. And here's what I've realized after almost 20 years doing this work: your body wants to function better. It's trying. But when the backpack gets heavy enough, even the best treatments become about staying afloat instead of actually swimming.

Remove a rock and watch what happens.

The capacity was always there.

What's one thing adding weight to your backpack right now? Drop a comment if you've got one rock you're ready to throw out this week... or hit like if you're realizing your backpack might be heavier than you thought.

Across consults, the most common line I hear after restoring motion is I can think again.

Reports include steadier focus, better sleep, and calmer moods, especially in desk workers.

Here's what's actually happening.

Your spine is the main communication line between your brain and the rest of you, and when vertebrae lose their normal range of motion, that communication gets disrupted. Neural signals that should move freely hit interference.

For desk workers sitting 8+ hours a day, this compression builds gradually. Forward head posture, rounded shoulders, restricted mid-back movement... all of it creates bottlenecks in the nervous system.

And the brain fog people describe? That's often the result.

The symptoms show up as:
→ Trouble concentrating past 2pm
→ Forgetting words mid-sentence
→ Feeling mentally drained even after good sleep
→ Decision fatigue

When we restore proper spinal motion through adjustments, we're removing the physical interference. The pathway clears. Nerve signals flow the way they're supposed to.

Patients call it "the fog lifting" because that's genuinely what it feels like.

Clearer thinking.

Better emotional regulation because your stress response isn't constantly misfiring. Improved sleep because your nervous system can downshift properly at night. Sharper focus because your brain isn't working through static to communicate with the rest of your body.

This is why people who come in for neck tension or low back pain often mention cognitive changes as the most surprising benefit. They weren't expecting their mental clarity to shift... but when the nervous system works without obstruction, everything connected to it improves.

If you've been dealing with persistent brain fog and haven't considered how your spine might be involved, it's worth bringing up with a healthcare provider who understands nervous system function.

Sometimes the solution to mental fatigue is more physical than we realize.

Have you ever noticed your thinking gets clearer when your body feels better? Drop a comment if that resonates - I'm curious how common this connection is.
