At some point, everyone will have a headache, whether it’s caused by stress, lack of sleep, hormones, or even self-induced after having way too much fun the night before! For the most part, headaches are not indicative of a dangerous underlying condition, but they can be (…a topic fo

Neck pain is a very common complaint for which patients seek chiropractic care, though there are several possible causes... Two common causes of neck pain are poor posture (such as a forward head carriage) and repetitive strain (such as long static holding of awkward positions). These two

Ideally, the head should rest on the neck with the external auditory meatus (ear opening) aligning with the acromion process (bony end of the shoulder) when viewed from the side. When we have good neck posture, it’s hard to believe the head weighs the same as a recreational bowling ball. Un

Running is one of the most popular forms of exercise, largely because it can be done almost anywhere at any time and it doesn’t require much in the way of equipment (other than a pair of running shoes). While there is a common belief that running always leads to osteoarthritis (OA) of the k

When patients present with low back pain (LBP), they usually move slowly, and they often can’t stand up straight. Even a simple task such as bending over may cause them to grimace and even require the use of their hands pushing on their thighs to return upright. These are classic si

Among the roles the hip joints play in the human body, perhaps none is as important as the ability to perform everyday activities like standing, walking, and running. Of course, these actions involve multiple other body parts, so it’s no surprise that when a patient presents with hip pain,
