Posture isn’t just about sitting up straighter. It affects how well your body breathes, circulates blood, and handles daily stress. When posture collapses forward, which I see all the time, your body has to work harder than it should.
Better posture helps:
🔷 Improve breathing and circulation
🔷 Reduce tension in the neck and shoulders
🔷 Support overall energy and movement
Most posture issues build slowly over time, which is why preventative care matters. We catch up to the problem, then we keep up with it.
Winter injuries don’t usually come out of nowhere. ❄️
Most of what I see this time of year has been quietly building long before the snow hits.
Slips on ice. Shoveling strains. Stiff backs and tight necks from cold weather and less movement. The good news? A lot of it is preventable.
In my latest blog, I break down:
❄️ Common winter injuries I see every year
❄️ Simple ways to protect your back and joints
❄️ How chiropractic helps you catch problems early and keep up with them
If winter is already making your body feel off, this one’s for you.
If you sit at a desk most of the day, I see you. And more importantly, I probably see what your body is dealing with, too. Tight neck. Stiff upper back. Shoulders creeping up toward your ears. Sound familiar?
Most desk-related issues don’t come from one bad day. They build over time from repetitive posture, long hours sitting, and not enough movement. That’s why so much of what I see in desk workers is preventable.
Here are a few ways chiropractic care helps if you work at a desk:
✅ Keeps your spine and joints moving so stiffness doesn’t turn into pain
✅ Helps relieve tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back
✅ Supports better posture without you having to “sit up straight” all day
✅ Improves how your body handles stress and long workdays
✅ Helps you stay ahead of issues instead of constantly playing catch up
I always say we first catch up to the problem, then we keep up with it. For desk workers, regular care is how we keep small aches from becoming bigger distractions.
If you want to feel better at work and still have energy left when you leave your desk, let’s take a look at how your body is moving.
Most people think posture is just about standing or sitting up straight.
But here’s what most don’t realize 👇
✔️ Your posture affects how well you breathe.
✔️ Your breathing affects your nervous system.
✔️And your nervous system directly impacts your heart health.
When posture collapses and mobility drops, your body has to work harder just to function. Over time, that adds up.
The good news? Small daily movement, better posture habits, and keeping your spine moving can make a real difference.
I broke this down in a simple, practical way in my latest blog, including easy tips you can start using today.

🥶 During the winter, I see more stiffness, tighter muscles, and joints that just don’t move as easily. Less sunlight and less activity really start to show up in how the body feels.
Chiropractic care does a great job keeping the spine and joints moving well, which helps with mobility, circulation, and overall function. But it’s only one piece of the picture.
☀️ This time of year, Vitamin D becomes especially important. Living up north means we get far less sun, and that can affect bone health, muscle function, and immune support. Pairing Vitamin D with K2 helps your body use it properly, especially when movement and joint health matter most.
That’s why I often talk with patients about combining good movement, consistent care, and the right nutritional support. If you want to learn more, I keep trusted options available through my Fullscript store.
Every January, I watch people go full beast mode 💪
Two weeks later? Sore, stiff, and wondering why everything hurts.
That’s not a willpower problem.
That’s a body that needs support.
I use chiropractic care to help joints move better, reduce the “why am I sore everywhere” feeling, and keep you in the game instead of on the couch.
Let’s stop quitting on goals because your body couldn’t keep up 😉

Winter has a way of sneaking up on your body. Cold weather tightens muscles, joints get stiffer, and reaction time slows down. That’s why a lot of winter injuries come from quick twists or awkward steps, not big dramatic falls.
True story. I slipped on ice and fell walking my dog twice this winter. One second I was fine, the next I was on the ground. It was a good reminder that winter doesn’t care who you are.
A few simple things I focus on now and share with my patients:
🔷 Warm up for a minute before heading outside
🔷 Take smaller steps on icy surfaces
🔷 Wear shoes with good traction
🔷 Keep moving through the winter so you don’t stiffen up
Most winter strains are preventable if we stay ahead of them. I always say we catch up to the problem first, then we keep up with it.

How’s your body supporting you right now… not just when something hurts, but day to day? 🤔
It’s January, and if you’re anything like me, you wanna be outside, but Minnesota winters don’t exactly make that easy. Between the cold, shorter days and being indoors more, getting enough sunlight becomes a real challenge. ☀️
That’s where vitamin D matters. It supports bone health, muscle function, immune health, and recovery, and during the winter, it can make a big difference in how your body handles stress, movement, and lingering soreness. If you’re looking for vitamin D, you can find it in my Fullscript store with 20% off storewide and free shipping over $50: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/ckoterba/store-start
Winter also has a way of showing up in how we sleep. Less movement during the day often means more stiffness at night and tighter mornings, which makes sleep support even more important this time of year. 😴
How your neck and spine are positioned overnight can either help your body recover or quietly add more strain. A supportive pillow like Chiroflow pillow helps keep your neck neutral so your body can actually rest. Small changes like this go a long way in helping your body keep up through the winter. 🛌
Which part of your routine could use a little more support this time of year?

A new year usually comes with big plans. Move more. Feel better. Get stronger. Stretch more than once a month. I love that energy.
But here’s the part most people forget.
Your goals only work if your body does.
In my latest blog, I break down:
🔷 Why joint movement makes workouts feel easier
🔷 How stress quietly shows up in your neck and shoulders
🔷 Why mobility is about joint health, not just stretching
🔷 Why most issues don’t show up overnight, they build over time
🔷And more ways to support your body so you can actually stick with your goals
Most pain doesn’t start overnight. It builds quietly through repetition, stress, and daily habits. Healing works the same way.
That’s why consistency matters with your care plan.
Staying consistent works because your body responds to what you do repeatedly. Regular care keeps joints moving well, prevents small issues from turning into setbacks, and helps progress build over time.
If you’re trying to stay on track, a few things that usually help:
✅ Don’t stop care just because you’re feeling good.
✅ Prioritize sleep and recovery, especially during the winter months.
✅ Make your sleep setup work for you, not against you.
✅ Listen to the small warning signs before they get louder.
Consistency isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing the right things often enough to keep your body working well.
👉 Now tell me, what’s one thing you do to stay consistent?

If you’ve been feeling stiffer, slower, or just “off” lately…there’s a reason. 🤷♂️
And no, it’s not just age or bad luck.
In my latest blog, I break down why this happens, what it means for your joints and movement, and why this is the ideal time to reset your health routine for the year. 💪🧠
