🫁 WHY MID-BACK MOBILITY MATTERS MORE IN WINTER

Your mid-back and ribs are designed to move with every breath. But winter posture — shoulders forward, chest collapsed, head down — limits that motion. When the thoracic spine stiffens, breathing becomes shallow and the nervous system stays more stressed.

This is why mid-back tension often shows up alongside fatigue, anxiety, neck pain, or headaches in winter. The body simply isn’t getting the movement and oxygen it needs.

Chiropractic adjustments to the thoracic spine help restore rib motion, improve breathing mechanics, and reduce the tension patterns that build when winter posture takes over.

🦵 WHY YOUR LOW BACK FEELS DIFFERENT IN WINTER

Low back pain doesn’t usually come from one event — it builds over time. Winter accelerates that process through inactivity, prolonged sitting, shoveling, uneven footing, and repeated twisting.

When the pelvis and low back lose coordination, muscles tighten to protect the area. Over time, this leads to stiffness, flare-ups, and that “one wrong move” feeling.

Chiropractic care helps restore balance between the pelvis and spine so your low back isn’t constantly compensating. Addressing the pattern now helps prevent winter discomfort from carrying into spring.

🧊 WHEN YOUR SPINE FEELS COMPRESSED, IT’S TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING

If you’ve caught yourself thinking, “I just feel stuck,” or “I feel compressed,” that sensation is often coming from reduced joint motion and increased pressure in the spine.

Winter contributes to this more than people realize. Less movement, more sitting, bulky clothing, long drives, and cold-tightened muscles all increase compression over time. Traction helps gently counteract that pressure by creating space where your spine needs it most.

Many patients describe traction as one of the most relieving parts of their care because it allows their body to relax without force. Especially in winter, this gentle decompression can make a noticeable difference in comfort and mobility.

🌤️ Groundhog Day Update:
He saw his shadow… and honestly? Our spines felt that. ❄️🦫

Six more weeks of winter means more shoveling, more hunching, more cold-weather tension — and more reasons your body might be feeling a little off. If even the groundhog needs an adjustment after popping out of his burrow, you’re definitely not alone!

Whether winter has you stiff, sore, or moving slower than usual, we’re here to help keep your spine moving and your nervous system supported all season long. No matter what Phil predicts, feeling good doesn’t have to wait for spring. 😉

Your immune system doesn’t need to be overstimulated — it needs to be supported.

This February, our Supplement of the Month is Orthomune, a thoughtfully formulated immune support option designed to help your body stay prepared without pushing it into overdrive.

Orthomune focuses on immune readiness by helping maintain healthy nutrient reserves with vitamin D, vitamin C, and zinc — nutrients many people are low in during winter months. It also includes quercetin and NAC to support healthy immune function and airway health.

This makes Orthomune a great option for long-term immune support, especially during cold and flu season.

✨ Orthomune is 10% off all month — ask our team if it’s right for you!

❄️ FEBRUARY IN WISCONSIN: WHEN WINTER REALLY CATCHES UP TO YOUR BODY

By February, winter stress has had time to build. Muscles have been tight for weeks. Movement has been limited. Cold temperatures have reduced circulation. And small aches that felt manageable in December suddenly feel louder and harder to ignore.

This is often when people notice more neck stiffness, low back discomfort, headaches, fatigue, and slower recovery after simple activities like shoveling or driving. Your body isn’t “failing” — it’s responding to prolonged stress.

Chiropractic care helps restore motion, improve nervous system communication, and support your body’s ability to adapt through the last stretch of winter. February isn’t the time to push through — it’s the time to support your system.

💙 “Chiropractic care helped feel more relaxed and less tense!”

This is one of the most powerful benefits of chiropractic — and it’s often the most surprising.

When the spine is restricted, your body stays in a guarded state. Muscles tighten. Breathing becomes shallow. Sleep becomes lighter. Stress feels heavier.

Chiropractic helps restore motion and alignment so the nervous system can shift out of protection mode and into regulation mode — helping you feel calmer, looser, and more like yourself.

If January has felt tense, heavy, or stressful… your nervous system may be asking for support. 💙

🧍‍♂️ WHY YOUR LOW BACK KEEPS FLARING UP

When low back pain keeps coming back, it’s easy to assume the back itself is the problem. In reality, recurring flare-ups are often the result of long-term compensation patterns involving the pelvis and lower spine — not weakness.

Over time, daily habits like prolonged sitting, reduced movement in winter, repetitive shoveling, lifting with rotation, and even walking on uneven snowy or icy surfaces can slowly shift how the pelvis and low back work together. The body adapts the best it can, but those adaptations often lead to irritation, stiffness, and recurring discomfort when the system is under stress.

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper motion and alignment in the low back and pelvis so your body doesn’t have to keep compensating. As those patterns improve, flare-ups tend to happen less often and feel less intense — allowing you to move with more confidence and comfort, even during a Wisconsin winter.

If your low back feels like it’s always “waiting to act up,” it may be time to address what’s really driving the pattern.

🦴 WHY WE TAKE X-RAYS (AND WHY THEY MATTER)

X-rays aren’t about guessing — they’re about understanding.

At BalancePoint Chiropractic, imaging allows us to see how your spine is actually structured. Everyone’s spine is different, and knowing your unique alignment helps us provide care that’s specific, safe, and effective.

X-rays help us identify:
• areas of restricted movement
• spinal curves and posture patterns
• joint stress and degeneration
• old injuries that never fully healed
• alignment changes that may be contributing to pain or tension

When we understand the structure, we can better support the function.

🔥 WHY “TIGHT” DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN “STRONG”

It’s common to assume that tight muscles are strong or “working hard,” but tightness is often the body’s way of compensating for something that isn’t moving or functioning well underneath.

When joints lose proper motion, posture shifts, or nerves become irritated, nearby muscles step in to protect the area. They stay contracted longer than they should, which can make them feel firm, sore, or constantly tight. Over time, this tension limits movement, increases fatigue, and can actually weaken the muscle’s ability to do its job well.

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring healthy joint motion and reducing nervous system stress so muscles don’t have to overwork just to keep you upright and moving. As alignment improves, muscles are able to relax and function more efficiently — often leading to better movement, less tension, and fewer recurring aches.

If you’re always feeling “tight,” your body may be asking for support, not more stretching or force.

🧊 ICE FISHING SPINES NEED LOVE TOO 🎣

Ice fishing = cold + sitting + leaning forward = low back and hip stress.

Over time, that can lead to:
• low back tightness
• hip stiffness
• mid-back restriction
• neck tension from looking down

Chiropractic helps keep anglers moving well so you can enjoy the day without feeling stiff for days afterward.
