Worried about arm or hand weakness from a pinched nerve? 🤚💪

When neck nerves become irritated, they can cause tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arm, a condition known as cervical radiculopathy.

The good news? Most people experience improvement with non-surgical care within 2–3 months, especially when treatment is initiated early. Chiropractic care can help improve neck mobility, reduce nerve irritation, and support muscle strength. 🙌

If symptoms persist, schedule an evaluation with us today! 📞

Could your environment be fueling inflammation? 🌍🔥

New research found microplastics in the joints of people with rheumatoid arthritis. These tiny particles may trigger “aggressive” behavior in joint cells, leading to increased pain and tissue damage.

The takeaway: Inflammation isn’t just genetics. Supporting your body’s natural detox and reducing environmental exposures is more important than ever! 💪

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.

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.

Your brain can change in positive ways, too. 💪 Gentle movement, exercise, and hands-on care can help calm the nervous system and reduce pain over time.
