Does your thumb or wrist feel sore after scrolling or typing? 📱😣

Doing the same motion over and over can irritate the tendons in your wrist — especially with all the screen time we have today.

Taking short breaks, doing simple stretches, and getting care early can help ease the pain.

Too much light at night can actually cause issues for your heart.💡❤️

A study of nearly 90,000 adults found that people who slept in the brightest bedrooms had higher risks of heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke, even when lifestyle and genetics were taken into account.

Keeping your bedroom dim or fully dark at night is a simple habit that may support long-term heart health, particularly after the age of 40. 🌙😴

Small changes can make a big difference.

Is your shoulder bothering you when you reach overhead? 🤕🙋‍♂️

Most people focus on strengthening the rotator cuff muscles, but the shoulder blade is also a significant player. A new study found that incorporating shoulder-blade exercises into standard shoulder rehabilitation led to even better pain relief and improved function.

In other words, your shoulder blade just needs to join the workout party. 🎉💪

If your shoulder has been nagging you, we can help you get it moving smoothly again. Watch this video to learn how we can support your recovery. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ktLPQJ0SHoE?rel=0

Did you know chronic pain can affect more than just the area that hurts? 😟💭

An extensive study of over 450,000 people found that the more areas of chronic pain someone has, the higher their risk of conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. For example:

✔ Pain in 4+ areas → 82% higher risk
✔ Widespread pain → 59% higher risk
✔ Highest risk combo: head + stomach/abdomen

Chronic pain impacts sleep, stress, movement, and inflammation, all of which influence long-term health. The good news? You don’t have to push through it. We can help build a personalized plan to reduce pain and support your overall well-being.

Suffering from migraines? Consider adding yoga to your routine!

Hand pain, numbness, or tingling during pregnancy? 🤰🖐️ You’re not alone; Carpal tunnel is very common in the third trimester.

A new study found that both rigid and elastic wrist splints can reduce pain and swelling, as well as improve grip strength. Neither one is “better,” so you can simply choose the option that feels most comfortable for you. 💛

If wrist or hand discomfort is interfering with your daily routine, we can help you find the right support and relief.

You’ve probably heard of the sciatic nerve… but have you ever heard of the cluneal nerves? 🤔

These small nerves located near the back of your pelvis can become irritated, causing low back pain that mimics other conditions, which is why cluneal nerve pain often gets overlooked.

This is why a thorough exam matters. Not all low back pain comes from the same source, and finding the true cause leads to the most effective treatment. ✔️

Accurate diagnosis means better results, and better results mean getting back to moving and feeling your best. 🙌

If your low back pain has been persistent, we’re here to help identify the cause.

Pain keeping you up at night? 😫🌙

A new study found that people with chronic pain are 85% more likely to have sleep disorders than those with shorter-term pain. And when pain worsens during the day, doesn’t ease with movement, appears at rest, or wakes you from sleep, the risk increases even further.

Pain isn’t just a daytime problem; it can disrupt your nights, too. Poor sleep can exacerbate pain even further.

If you’re stuck in this cycle, we can help you address both pain and sleep together. Check out this infographic for simple sleep tips to get started. https://bit.ly/3zTXvVS

Want to lower your risk of a lower-body injury? 🦵⚡

Start by taking care of your lower back. When your back is irritated, your body often compensates by putting extra stress on your hips, knees, or ankles. Research shows that people with low back pain have a higher risk of developing leg and lower-body injuries.

If that nagging low back ache keeps coming and going, now’s the perfect time to address it.
Your back will feel better, your movement will feel smoother, and your legs will thank you. 🙌

Pain on the outside of your knee? 🦵

You may be dealing with iliotibial (IT) band syndrome. This issue causes sharp or achy pain on the outer aspect of the knee, particularly in runners and other active individuals.

The good news is that it’s very treatable. Most runners return to training quickly with a combination of myofascial release and hip-strengthening exercises to help the leg better handle load. 🙌

Don’t let knee pain slow your momentum. Visit our clinic and let us help you get back on track. Your IT band may be irritated, but your goals don’t have to be. 💪

Did you know jaw issues and ringing in the ear (tinnitus) often go hand-in-hand? 😣👂

A new review found that more than half of people with jaw pain also experienced tinnitus, and nearly everyone with tinnitus showed signs of jaw pain. The connection is stronger than most people realize.

If you’ve been dealing with ear ringing or jaw discomfort, they may be related. Getting both checked can help you find the right treatment path.

Schedule an appointment and let us help you sort out what’s going on. Relief is possible. 💙
