In a world where pain relief often comes in a pill bottle, it’s important to ask: Are we treating the pain, or just masking it?

Pain medications can provide quick comfort, but they rarely solve the problem. At Back in Motion Physical Therapy and Spine Center, we believe in addressing the root cause of pain—not just the symptoms.

💡 Here’s how chiropractic care offers a natural path to healing:

• No drugs. No side effects. Chiropractic care supports the body’s natural ability to heal without relying on medication.
• We treat the cause, not the symptom. Misalignments in the spine can impact nerves, movement, and overall function. Adjustments help restore balance and relieve pain at its source.
• Tailored to you. Every patient receives a personalized plan based on their pain, lifestyle, and goals.
• Preventative care matters. With ongoing support, many patients reduce flare-ups, improve mobility, and avoid recurring pain.
• Evidence-backed results. Studies suggest that consistent chiropractic care can significantly reduce pharmaceutical spending—some research shows up to an 85% reduction in drug costs among chiropractic patients.

Pain is your body’s way of asking for help—not silence.

Whether you're dealing with chronic back pain, neck stiffness, joint discomfort, or headaches, we’re here to help you move better, feel stronger, and live without relying on medication.

Traveling for the holidays? Don’t let back pain tag along.

Whether you’re flying to visit family or hitting the road for a much-needed getaway, long hours of sitting, lifting, and navigating crowded spaces can take a toll on your spine. But a little preparation can go a long way toward keeping you comfortable, mobile, and pain-free this season.

Here are a few simple tips to protect your spine while traveling:

✔ Pack light and roll your luggage
Avoid heavy, one-sided bags that strain your back. Distribute weight evenly and use a rolling suitcase when possible.

✔ Support your spine while seated
Use a lumbar pillow or rolled-up sweater behind your lower back. Keep feet flat and avoid slouching, especially on planes or in cars.

✔ Stretch before, during, and after your trip
Even 5 minutes of gentle stretching for your back, hips, and hamstrings can prevent stiffness and improve circulation.

✔ Take movement breaks
Every 2 hours, stand, walk, or do light stretches to loosen up. Even simple seated ankle rolls and shoulder shrugs can help.

✔ Stay hydrated and snack smart
Water reduces inflammation and muscle tension. Skip salty snacks and reach for fruit, veggies, or unsalted nuts instead.

✔ Reset when you arrive
Before fully settling in, go for a short walk or do a light stretch to help your body recover from the trip.

Travel can be hard on your spine, but these small habits make a big difference. If you’re feeling sore or out of alignment after your trip, chiropractic care can help realign your spine and restore mobility.

Healing Starts from Within. Chiropractic Helps Unlock It.

Your body is incredibly intelligent. It’s built to heal, adapt, and restore balance—often without you even realizing it. But when the nervous system is disrupted, that healing potential can be compromised.

At Back in Motion, our chiropractic care is centered on restoring the communication pathways between your brain and body. When spinal joints are misaligned, they may interfere with nerve signals that affect everything from movement and muscle coordination to immune function and pain perception.

A gentle adjustment does more than correct posture or ease discomfort. It helps clear the way for your body to do what it was designed to do: heal from the inside out.

Whether you're dealing with chronic back pain, muscle tension, joint stiffness, headaches, or fatigue, chiropractic care can be a foundational part of your wellness journey. And even if you're feeling fine, regular check-ins can help prevent minor issues from turning into major ones.

We believe in caring for the whole person, not just the symptoms. Through a personalized approach rooted in functional wellness, we’re here to support your goals and help you move through life with more ease and resilience.

Feeling the winter blues or noticing your energy dip as the days get shorter? You are not alone. At Back in Motion Physical Therapy and Spine Center, we see how seasonal changes can affect both your body and your mood.

The good news is that small, consistent habits can support your nervous system and help you feel more like yourself this winter.

• Seek the light: Open the blinds as soon as you wake up, sit near a window, or step outside for a short walk each day. Even a few minutes can help.
• Keep moving: Gentle movement supports circulation, mood, and energy. Try a walk, light stretching, or simple at-home mobility exercises.
• Nourish your body: Focus on whole foods, healthy fats, and staying hydrated. Limiting processed sugar can help keep energy and mood more stable.
• Protect your sleep: Aim for a consistent bedtime and wake time to support your body’s natural rhythm.
• Stay connected: Check in with friends or family, journal, or practice a few minutes of deep breathing to ease stress.

How can chiropractic care help?
Your spine protects your nervous system, which influences how your body manages stress, sleep, mood, and energy. When the spine is not moving well, it can place extra stress on your system and make it harder to feel your best.

Gentle chiropractic care can help:
• Improve spinal alignment and mobility
• Reduce tension and stress on the body
• Support better sleep quality
• Enhance overall energy and resilience

If you are feeling “off” this winter, you do not have to push through it alone. Our team is here to support your whole-body wellness.

Which pain conditions respond especially well to acupuncture?

If you have been living with ongoing pain, acupuncture may be a gentle and effective option to support relief and healing. This time tested therapy focuses on calming the nervous system, improving circulation, and helping the body regulate pain naturally.

Acupuncture is commonly used for chronic and recurring pain conditions, including:
• Low back pain. Often recommended for chronic low back pain, helping reduce stiffness and improve daily movement.
• Neck pain. Supports muscle relaxation and reduces tension related to posture, stress, or repetitive strain.
• Headaches and migraines. Can lower the frequency and intensity of tension headaches and migraines over time.
• Knee osteoarthritis. Helps ease pain, swelling, and stiffness, especially during flare ups.
• Fibromyalgia. May reduce widespread pain and support better sleep and overall quality of life.

Acupuncture can also be helpful for:
• Muscle pain, spasms, and sports related injuries
• Nerve related pain such as carpal tunnel symptoms
• Tennis elbow and repetitive strain injuries
• Menstrual cramps
• Nausea related to surgery or chemotherapy

With over 2,400 years of use, acupuncture has a strong track record for safety and effectiveness. For some conditions, it can be a powerful stand alone treatment. For others, it works best as part of a comprehensive care plan, helping improve results and shorten recovery time.

If you are curious about acupuncture in Spring Grove, IL, or wondering if it could complement your current care, our team at Back in Motion Physical Therapy and Spine Center would be happy to guide you.

As winter settles in, many of us feel that familiar ache and stiffness in our knees, hips, and hands. It’s common, but how do you know what’s a typical seasonal change and what might need a closer look?

Cooler temperatures can lead to thicker joint fluid and reduced circulation, making movement feel a bit "sticky" and stiff. This normal weather-related discomfort often improves with warmth, gentle movement, and self-care.

Typical winter joint discomfort is usually mild. You might feel stiffness in the morning or after sitting, but it eases as you move. It often correlates clearly with cold or damp days and doesn’t involve swelling, redness, or a loss of your normal range of motion.

However, if your pain is sharp, constant, or worsening, or if you notice swelling, joint instability, or that the pain doesn't improve with simple measures, it’s time to seek attention. This could be a sign of underlying inflammation, injury, or a condition that benefits from professional care.

At Back in Motion, we understand the nuances of joint health. Our team takes a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach, combining the expertise of our Chiropractic Physicians, Licensed Physical Therapists, and Massage Therapists, to address not just the pain, but its root cause. We are committed to providing you with the absolute best care to keep you moving comfortably, all season long.

If winter joint pain is impacting your daily life, let's talk. We can help you create a personalized plan for natural relief and lasting comfort.

Give Yourself Permission to Do Less This Holiday Season

“Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow.” – Eleanor Brownn

In a season that often demands more — more energy, more time, more giving — it's okay to choose less.
Less pressure to do it all.
Less guilt when your body asks for rest.
Less rushing, and more presence.

At Back in Motion, we believe that caring for your body is never selfish. In fact, it’s one of the most loving things you can do — not just for yourself, but for those around you.

When you prioritize healing, movement, and rest, you show up with more clarity, more strength, and more heart.

If your body is whispering that it’s time to slow down — listen.

We’re here to support your journey to feeling better, moving better, and living with more ease this season and beyond.

Holiday Sleep Rescue: 5 Ways to Help Your Body Rest Better

Holiday stress can take a toll on your sleep — and when you’re not sleeping well, existing pain often feels worse. At Back in Motion, we understand how deeply connected your nervous system, sleep, and musculoskeletal health really are.

Here are five simple ways to help your body shift into deeper rest and recovery this season:

1. Dim the lights early
About an hour before bed, turn off overhead lights and switch to soft lamps or candles. This helps support melatonin release and cues your body that it’s time to slow down.

2. Power down screens
Avoid emails, social media, and scrolling 30–60 minutes before bed. Less blue light and less stimulation = a calmer nervous system.

3. Take a warm shower or bath
Warm water helps relax tense muscles and signals the brain to shift into sleep mode as the body cools down afterward.

4. Try slow breathing
Inhale through your nose for 4 counts, then exhale slowly for 6 to 8. A longer exhale activates the calming side of your nervous system and can ease that “wired but tired” feeling.

5. Write it out
A short gratitude list or “small wins” journal by your bed can help shift your focus from stress or discomfort to something more peaceful — setting the tone for deeper rest.

At Back in Motion, we see how quality sleep and pain relief go hand in hand. If back pain, neck stiffness, or tension are getting in the way of your sleep, we’re here to help.

How Can Chiropractic & Physical Therapy Support Your Immune Resilience in Cold & Flu Season?

As cold and flu season settles in and outdoor walks or runs get chillier, many people start looking for ways to stay stronger and feel more resilient. While chiropractic care and physical therapy do not treat infections directly, they can support the systems your body relies on to defend itself.

Your nervous system and immune system work closely together. When your spine and joints move well, communication between your brain and body becomes clearer, helping your immune system coordinate more effectively. Gentle adjustments and mobility-focused treatments can also reduce stress-related inflammation and muscle tension, which may weaken natural defenses over time.

Better mobility and posture support healthy circulation and lymphatic flow, helping immune cells travel where they are needed. When your body moves well and feels more balanced, it can use more of its energy for healing and defense, not just managing pain and stiffness.

Pairing care with simple habits can make a meaningful difference:
• Stay consistent with chiropractic and PT visits
• Prioritize sleep, hydration, and whole-food nutrition
• Keep moving with regular, comfortable exercise that feels good for your body

If you’re wondering how chiropractic or physical therapy can support your immune health this season, the Back in Motion team is here to guide you and help you stay active, mobile, and resilient.

12/09/2025

You have been told everything looks “normal,” but deep down you know something is not right. You are more tired than you should be, your stomach feels bloated for no clear reason, your mind feels foggy, and your cycles may be all over the place. You have tried medications, new diets, and all the “stress less” advice, yet you still do not feel like yourself.

The truth is that normal labs do not always mean your body is truly healthy. Often, it simply means no one has looked deep enough to understand what is really going on. You deserve more than a quick glance and a “you are fine.”

At Back in Motion, we follow a simple philosophy. We test, we do not guess. We look closely at what your body is trying to tell you by exploring inflammation, gut health, hormonal balance, and potential triggers from foods or toxins. Instead of only quieting symptoms, we want to understand what is driving them so we can help your body find its way back to balance as naturally as possible.

Many people who come to us have felt dismissed or brushed off in the past. Here, you are heard. Your story matters. We take the time to connect the dots so you can finally have a plan that feels tailored to you and your life.

If you have been told “you are fine” but you do not feel fine, this is your sign to dig deeper. You are not overreacting, and you are not alone.

I’ve never been to a chiropractor before. Is the holiday season a bad time to start?

Actually, the holidays can be one of the best times to begin. Your body is under extra stress from shopping, decorating, cooking, traveling, and long days on your feet. Many people also notice more neck tension and tension headaches this time of year, which can make it hard to enjoy time with family.

Your first visit at Back in Motion includes a thorough exam and a personalized care plan based on your health history, concerns, and goals. Our focus is always on gentle, patient-centered care that helps you feel safe, informed, and supported.

How chiropractic care helps during the holidays:
• Reduces stress by improving how your spine and nervous system function
• Provides natural pain relief for neck, back, and headache issues
• Improves mobility so it is easier to lift, reach, decorate, and carry
• Supports better sleep by easing muscle tension and discomfort
• May help your body handle seasonal immune stress more effectively
• Helps restore energy so you can be more present for what matters most

You can also support your body at home by lifting with your legs, taking short breaks while decorating or shopping, staying hydrated, stretching gently, watching your posture, and prioritizing consistent sleep.

If you have been thinking about chiropractic care, this season is a meaningful time to start. We are here to help you move, feel, and live better.
