‼️Let's talk disc herniations: A disc herniation happens when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes out and irritates a nerve — causing back or leg pain, numbness, or tingling.

Why do they happen?
Most herniations occur from repeated stress, prolonged sitting, poor movement patterns, or gradual wear and tear — not from one “bad” move.

The good news:
Most herniations are not serious and heal without surgery. In fact, many people have disc herniations and don’t even know it because they never cause symptoms.

What helps?
• Gentle walking & movement
• Taking breaks from sitting
• Press-ups or extensions (if they feel good)
• Heat or ice — whichever helps most

Your spine is strong. Discs heal. And the right plan can make a big difference.

👉 If symptoms aren’t improving, we can help you find answers and a clear plan forward.

Let's talk dry needling 👊 - a therapy where a thin, hair-like needle is inserted into tight or painful muscle knots (trigger points) to release tension, reduce pain, and improve range of motion. Dry needling helps with:
✔ Neck & shoulder tension
✔ Low back pain
✔ Headaches
✔ Sports injuries
✔ Hip & glute tightness
✔ Chronic muscle knots

Your “SI” or sacroiliac joint is at the base of the spine where your hip bones attach. When this joint becomes irritated, it can lead to lower back pain, especially when going from seated to standing.

However, a recent review found that manual therapies like chiropractic spinal adjustments help those experiencing SI joint pain.

So, if you are experiencing SI pain, give our office a call! 📞 In the meantime, check out this video for more information on how we treat SI problems in our office. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ObOI6lvuaNI?si=1pDIQQKkvKi45aTL

A vitamin a day keeps the migraines away! 💊

This is what a recent research study found! The study found that vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) and B9 (folate) could be linked to preventing migraines.

However, this is only one part of the migraine puzzle. So, schedule an appointment to determine the best treatment approach to manage your migraines. 👍
