Ever throw your back out doing something extremely dangerous… like picking up a sock?
Or sneeze with too much enthusiasm and suddenly your whole lumbar spine files an HR complaint? 😅

Back pain has a way of sneaking up on us at the worst possible moments—and the culprit is often those overworked erector spinae muscles. When they spasm, they tighten like steel cables trying to stabilize your spine, which can leave you bent, frozen, or walking like you're auditioning for a zombie movie.

The good news?
These spasms respond incredibly well to gentle, targeted treatment—especially when you stack modalities that calm the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and restore movement quickly.

At Anchor Point Acupuncture, patients often experience rapid relief because each session is designed to feel like getting three appointments in one. Our treatments are gentle, restorative, and deeply effective. Most patients end up feeling so relaxed they drift into a nap while their body realigns, releases, and repairs itself.

If your back has been staging a rebellion…
you don’t have to live with it—fast relief is closer than you think.
Anchor Point Acupuncture has your back. Literally. 💙⚓️

Ever seen your tooth slide farther than the puck? Hockey players wear their bruises like medals — but sometimes, those “battle scars” come with more than bragging rights.
Medical Insight: A blow to the face or jaw from a puck, stick, or collision can lead to alveolar trauma, dental avulsion (tooth knocked out), or temporomandibular joint strain (TMJ dysfunction). Beyond the visible injury, the surrounding masseter, temporalis, and cervical stabilizer muscles can tighten reflexively, leading to headaches, jaw deviation, neck stiffness, and neural tension.
Left untreated, these secondary compensations can contribute to trigeminal nerve irritation, restricted lymphatic drainage, and even postural imbalances extending through the spine and shoulders.
Here’s How Anchor Point Acupuncture Helps: We take an integrative, full-system approach to recovery. Our treatments calm muscular tension, reduce localized inflammation, and help restore circulation and nerve communication — promoting faster healing, natural pain relief, and balanced alignment from jaw to shoulders.
Whether it’s post-trauma care or chronic TMJ dysfunction after years of clenching through the pain, we help your body reset, repair, and recover — so you can get back on the ice with your best smile intact. Book Today www.apa-med.com

In honor of Hockey Season, I share the inspiration of a famous NHL Game where the Zamboni Driver subs in for the goalie. This game always brings tears to my eyes, for a few reasons. 1. This gentleman never stopped practicing 2. The elation he must've felt winning the game, and having that moment on the biggest platform! 3. The feelings his parents must have felt seeing their child's dream realized. For today's reset I give you this gem, let's take three minutes and reset together! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHbwDtEd3gc&list=PLJzm9BhU_wL9co3T1JYzfld3xtL3_kKnA&index=1
