Hey 🚨Dr. Emily🚨, is it okay if I pop my own neck?

❌ Don’t do that ❌

Here are 3 reasons why you shouldn’t crack your own neck ⬇️

1️⃣ It temporarily masks the discomfort or pain you were feeling before your cracked your neck. 🥴
2️⃣ You’re stretching ligaments that can be damaged or permanently stretched. YIKES!
3️⃣ You could pinch a nerve, which is super painful and will increase your discomfort. 😳

So, leave the neck cracking to your Chiro 😉

Here’s the deal: one-shoulder bags - a.k.a. messenger bags - put all the weight on one shoulder, which means your back twists more to one side, resulting in an uneven strain, tension, pain, or even spasms. Here are some other possible side effects of one-shoulder bags:

👎 Muscle tightness
👎 Backaches
👎 Decreased curve of the neck due to tightness, sometimes known as “military neck”
👎 Neck pain that causes the turning of the head to be difficult
👎 Headaches

Instead, use a backpack, where the load is evenly spread. The straps on the backpack also make it easier to stay close to your body and have less slouching. 🎒

What about purses, you may be wondering? Sorry ladies, but it’s the same advice here: backpacks are still preferable. But, if you insist on using a one-shoulder purse (cause yea, we know, fashion matters), here are a few tips:

👉 Consider switching your shoulders frequently
👉 Embrace your inner minimalist and pack lighter
👉 Use your hand to help support the purse as you walk

🚨 “They’re just growing pains” - let’s talk about why this common phrase (first seen in medical literature in 1823!) might be missing the bigger picture.

Did you know that growing pains affect up to 40% of children between ages 2-12? While these leg pains are often brushed off as “normal,” there’s actually a fascinating connection between your child’s spine, nervous system, and “growing” pains.

Your child might be experiencing:
👶 Night-time leg pain that disrupts sleep
👶 Achy or throbbing feelings in quadriceps, hamstrings, or calves
👶 Lower back or “butt” pain (often overlooked!)

What’s really happening:
1️⃣ Spinal misalignments (especially in lower back & pelvis) creating muscle imbalances
2️⃣ Postural stress from premature walking assistance or “baby containers” that encourage sitting before developmentally appropriate, backpacks, or extended sitting
3️⃣ Pelvic imbalances leading to leg length inequalities
4️⃣ Birth trauma, falls, or sports injuries affecting normal growth patterns

The good news? You don’t have to watch your child suffer!

Research shows a strong correlation between sacroiliac (pelvic) misalignment and leg pain. Our gentle pediatric adjustments help restore proper nerve function and biomechanics to your child’s growing body.

In addition to care in our specialized pediatric chiropractic office in 🚨MARION, ILLINOIS🚨 you can also try:

💫 Gentle stretching (focus on lower back, quads & hamstrings)
💫 Proper hydration
💫 Warm compresses or Epsom salts baths
💫 🚨SUPPLEMENTAL RECOMMENDATIONS🚨

Many parents in our practice report their kids are finally sleeping through the night - no more 2AM leg massages needed!

Questions about your child’s growing pains? Drop them below or schedule a consultation by calling 618-694-9797! 🌟

The joys of pregnancy can come with some not-so-joyful surprises, like lightning crotch. 🙈⚡️

If you’ve felt it before, then you KNOW the feeling.😳 (Drop an emoji in the comments!)

These sharp, shooting pains in the groin and thigh area can leave you breathless and are typically caused by pressure on your sciatic nerve or pelvic misalignments.

Our doctors are 🚨 Webster Certified 🚨, and our chiropractic adjustments provide a gentle and effective approach to realigning your pelvis, minimizing tension, and reducing nerve interference to alleviate pain and discomfort.
