Elbow pain is more common than many people realize. Whether you’re typing all day, playing sports like tennis or golf, weight lifting, or just having an active lifestyle, the elbow joint takes a surprising amount of repetitive stress. This can lead to conditions like
▪ Tennis Elbow
▪ Golfers Elbow
▪ Bursitis
▪ Arthritis
▪ Pinched Nerve
▪ Sprain / Strain

Luckily, Chiropractors can help with elbow pain! Chiropractors can evaluate the surrounding muscles, joints, nerves, tendons, and ligaments related to the elbow to identify the true cause. Once the cause is identified, treatment can start.

At Tennessee Back Pain Center, we treat elbow pain with:
▪ Scraping
▪ Dry Needling
▪ Cupping
▪ Active Release Technique
▪ Adjustments
▪ Strengthening Exercises

If you or someone you know is struggling with elbow pain, achiness in the elbow, weakness, sharpness, decreased grip strength, or inflammation, we can help! Visit our website at www.tennesseebackpaincenter.com to schedule an appointment today!

You’ve probably heard the saying, “Movement is medicine.” And it’s true - the human body is designed to move. Every time you stretch, walk, lift, twist, or breathe deeply, you’re supporting your circulation, your nervous system, your joints, and your mental well-being.

Movement increases blood flow. Blood flow brings oxygen and nutrients. Oxygen and nutrients support healing. Healing leads to strength, mobility, and less pain
But movement is only medicine when it’s taken regularly.

Just like you wouldn’t expect one vitamin to transform your health overnight, one workout, one adjustment, or one good day of stretching isn’t enough to create lasting change.

You don’t need an intense gym routine to see benefits. In fact, the most powerful changes often come from simple, repeatable movement throughout the day. Start your day with a 5 minute stretching routine, a short walk after dinner, or taking the stairs instead of riding the elevator.

Do it daily. Let it build. Let it become part of who you are.

If pain is getting in the way of movement, come see us! We would love to help you get back to pain-free living. Give us a call today at (615)-900-5187.

True chiropractic care involves so much more than backs, necks, and spines. Chiropractic care is a holistic, conservative approach to the ENTIRE musculoskeletal system. This means muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, joints, nerves, and bones.

Sure, chiropractors most commonly deal with back and neck injuries, but there’s so much more they are capable of.

And in today’s society, our healthcare system lacks someone who can bridge the gap between primary care doctors and orthopedic surgeons. This is precisely where chiropractors can fit in.

Just because your shoulder aches when you reach behind you, doesn’t mean you are a candidate for surgery. At the same time, muscle relaxers aren’t going to solve the problem either.

Your primary care can diagnose, but oftentimes medication does not fix musculoskeletal issues.

You need hands-on care. Aka chiropractic care, physical therapy, a good personal trainer, etc.

So if you have an injury pertaining to your musculoskeletal system, let us take a look and give you hands-on care today! You can schedule an appointment by calling (615)-900-5187 or visiting our website www.tennesseebackpaincenter.com

If you spend a lot of time looking down at your phone or computer, you’re not alone — and your neck probably feels it. Many people experience stiffness, tension, or even headaches that come from poor cervical (neck) mobility. One of the best ways to keep your neck healthy and moving well is with an exercise called Cervical CARs, short for Controlled Articular Rotations (CAR).

Cervical CARs are gentle, controlled movements that take your neck through its full range of motion — flexion, extension, rotation, and side bending — while keeping the rest of your body still.

The goal is to move intentionally and slowly, exploring how your neck moves without pain or compensation from your shoulders or upper back.

Think of it like “oil for the joints.” When you perform CARs regularly, you help lubricate the neck joints, improve coordination, and maintain mobility over time.

How to Perform Cervical CARs
1. Sit or stand tall with good posture.
2. Keep your shoulders relaxed and still.
3. Slowly tuck your chin toward your chest.
4. Begin to rotate your head in a slow, circular motion — bringing your ear toward your shoulder, then looking up, then toward the other shoulder, and back down.
5. Move as far as you comfortably can without pain or forcing it.
6. Reverse the direction and repeat.

Pro Tip: The key word is controlled — don’t rush the movement. Slow, mindful motion builds better control and joint health than quick or jerky turns.

At Tennessee Back Pain Center, we use movement-based care to help patients not just feel better — but move better. Cervical CARs are a simple, powerful tool to keep your joints healthy between visits and support your chiropractic adjustments.

If you’re dealing with neck pain, stiffness, or reduced range of motion, let’s find the root cause and build a plan to restore your mobility. Schedule an appointment at www.tennesseebackpaincenter.com

Nothing makes our day more than hearing stories like this one! 🙌

“I came in with severe neck, back and arm pain and when I left it was more manageable. Dr. Porter always listens and makes me comfortable. She explains everything she is doing before she does it and makes me feel like a part of the healing process — and she’s honest, which I love. I recommend anyone who is in need of good chiropractic work to go to the Tennessee Back Pain Center.”

At Tennessee Back Pain Center, we believe that healing happens best when patients feel informed, comfortable, and empowered. That’s why Dr. Porter takes time to listen, explain each step, and work with you to find the “why” behind your pain — not just cover up the symptoms.

If you’re struggling with neck, back, or arm pain, we’re here to help you move better, feel better, and live better. Visit our website at www.tennesseebackpaincenter.com to schedule an appointment!

Most people come to a chiropractor because something hurts — maybe it’s nagging back pain, a stiff neck, or that sharp ache that shows up every time you get out of bed. While it’s easy to focus on simply getting rid of the pain, true healing starts when we uncover why that pain exists in the first place.

At Tennessee Back Pain Center, our goal isn’t just to make you feel better for a few days — it’s to help your body move, function, and heal better for the long term. That starts with understanding the root cause.

Pain Is a Symptom, Not the Problem

Pain is your body’s alarm system. It tells you something is off — maybe it’s a joint that’s stuck, a muscle compensating for weakness, or poor posture that’s creating stress over time.

Our Process: Assess, Don’t Guess

Every patient’s story is different. That’s why we start with a thorough assessment — from your posture and range of motion to muscle strength and spinal function.
We look at how your body moves as a whole, not just the area that hurts. Often, the “why” behind your pain is in a completely different place than where you feel it!

For example, tight hips might be the real reason for your low back pain. Or a forward head posture could be the cause of chronic shoulder tension. Once we pinpoint the cause, we can create a treatment plan that includes adjustments, soft tissue work, and corrective exercises to restore proper movement and balance.

When you treat the why, your body doesn’t just feel better — it performs better. You move with less restriction, have fewer flare-ups, and gain lasting relief.

At Tennessee Back Pain Center, our mission is to help you move better, feel better, and live better — by finding and fixing the reason your body hurts in the first place. If you’re tired of chasing temporary relief and ready to uncover the root cause of your pain, schedule a visit with us today.

Happy spooky week!

Here’s a chiropractic joke to brighten your day!

If you spend a lot of time sitting at a desk or looking down at your phone, chances are your posture — and your shoulders — are paying the price. Over time, poor posture can lead to tight chest muscles, weak upper back muscles, and even neck or shoulder pain.

One of our favorite exercises to combat this at Tennessee Back Pain Center is the IYTWL sequence — a simple yet powerful way to strengthen the postural muscles (rhomboids, traps, rotator cuff, and posterior deltoids) that support your shoulders and spine.

How to Perform IYTWL
You can perform this exercise standing, face down on a bench, on a stability ball, or standing with a resistance band. Here’s how to do it step-by-step:

I: Extend your arms straight overhead (forming the letter “I”) and lift them up, keeping your thumbs pointed toward the ceiling.

Y: Move your arms out slightly to form a “Y” shape, again lifting up while squeezing your shoulder blades down and together.

T: Bring your arms straight out to your sides (like forming a “T”) and lift, keeping your shoulders relaxed.

W: Bend your elbows to make a “W” shape, focusing on squeezing your shoulder blades together.

L: With elbows bent to 90 degrees, rotate your forearms up to form an “L,” engaging the rotator cuff.

Perform each movement slowly and with control. Aim for 8–10 reps per position.

If you’re dealing with tight shoulders, forward head posture, or upper back tension, our team at Tennessee Back Pain Center in Murfreesboro can help. We’ll assess your movement patterns and guide you through corrective exercises like IYTWL to help you move better, feel better, and live better.

Schedule your visit today and start building stronger, more stable shoulders!

When you’re living with arthritis, pain and stiffness can make it tempting to rest as much as possible. But here’s the surprising truth — too much rest can actually make arthritis pain worse. The key to managing arthritis and improving your quality of life isn’t inactivity, it’s movement.

When joints ache, it’s natural to want to avoid using them. However, long periods of rest lead to:
▪ Muscle weakness, which makes joints less stable
▪ Joint stiffness, especially after sitting or sleeping
▪ Slower circulation, which limits nutrient flow to your joints
▪ Decreased flexibility and balance, increasing the risk of injury

Simply put, the less you move, the harder it becomes to move.

Exercise is one of the most effective, non-invasive treatments for arthritis. We recommend low-impact, joint-friendly movements such as walking, cycling, swimming, yoga, etc. It helps by:
▪ Lubricating joints: Gentle movement encourages joint fluid circulation, reducing stiffness.
▪ Strengthening muscles: Strong muscles support and protect painful joints.
▪ Improving mobility: Regular stretching and movement enhance range of motion.
▪ Reducing inflammation: Physical activity helps regulate inflammation and improve overall joint health.
▪ Boosting mood: Exercise releases endorphins that naturally ease pain and reduce stress.

If arthritis pain is keeping you from doing what you love, don’t just rest — let’s get you moving again.

Insurance is too expensive to not take advantage of it! The end of the year is the time when most people have met or are close to meeting their deductibles and/or their max out of pocket. This means that actual insurance benefits kick in (the moment you’ve been waiting for). AKA you are paying less out of pocket and insurance companies will pick up the majority of the bill.

If you have already met your deductible, it’s time to schedule all those appointments you’ve been holding off on. Get your annual blood work, go see a cardiologist, and take care of that pain you’ve been putting off for too long.

If you aren’t sure if your deductible has been met, give us a call and we would be happy to check for you! You can also call the number on the back of your insurance.

Schedule your appointment today at (615)-900-5187 or go to our website http://tennesseebackpaincenter.com. We are in-network with Ambetter, Cigna, BlueCross BlueShield, United Healthcare, UMR, Aetna, Anthem, and Medicare. Take care of it now before the new year hits!

At Tennessee Back Pain Center, our mission is simple — to help you move better, feel better, and live better. These three pillars are at the heart of everything we do, from chiropractic adjustments and dry needling to corrective exercises and muscle work.

Move Better.

Healthy movement is the foundation of a healthy life. When your spine and joints move the way they’re designed to, your body functions more efficiently — reducing stress on muscles, improving posture, and restoring flexibility.

Through chiropractic adjustments and targeted therapies, we help restore proper motion to restricted joints so you can move freely again. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic stiffness, or just want to stay active as you age, improving your mobility is the first step toward lasting wellness.

Feel Better.

When you move better, you naturally start to feel better. Chiropractic care can help reduce inflammation, decrease pain, and balance muscle tension throughout the body. Many of our patients notice improvements in pain, energy levels, sleep, and even mood after just a few visits.

Our approach combines chiropractic care with soft tissue techniques like dry needling, cupping, and myofascial release to address the root causes of pain — not just the symptoms.

Live Better.

The ultimate goal of chiropractic care is to help you live your best life — without the limitations of pain or discomfort. When your body moves and functions the way it should, you can do more of what you love — whether that’s playing with your kids, working out, or simply getting through the day without nagging back pain.

At Tennessee Back Pain Center, we believe that small changes in movement, nutrition, and lifestyle can lead to big changes in how you live your life.

Ready to Start Feeling Better?

If pain, stiffness, or tension are holding you back, we’re here to help. Schedule an appointment today and take the first step toward moving better, feeling better, and living better!
