One of the most commonly asked questions in our clinic is, “can chiropractic care help with jaw pain?” And for good reason. When it comes to our quality of life, few things are as vital as the ability to eat and to sleep. They’re not only essential to accomplishing even our most basic goals each day, they’re also essential ingredients for joy. A day where you can’t comfortably eat, sleep, or even open and close your mouth is unlikely to be a very good day.   And for people living with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) – conditions which cause jaw pain – it happens far too often.

It seems reasonable to assume that where we feel the problem is where we need to treat it. Right? It’s intuitive to think that back pain is caused by a problem in your back, or that knee pain is triggered by an issue with, well, your knee. But in a surprising number of patients, the pain they’re experiencing is actually referred pain: pain that is felt in one area of the body but is actually triggered or caused by an issue in another area. In fact, most of us will experience some form of referred pain (if you’re reading this, you’ve probably experiences it already.) For example, who among us h ..read more

How many times has this happened to you? You treat your headache pain with medication, only to have it return the next day. You have a massage to release that shoulder tension but in no time, they’re back up around your ears. Or you try ice or heat for your back pain, but the pain never really goes away. Medication, massage, ice, and heat are all great ways to find short-term relief from pain symptoms, but to find lasting relief, you need to treat the source of your pain – not just the symptom. Referred pain is pain that originates in one area of the body but is felt in another, and it ..read more

If you’re about to enjoy your favorite activity and don’t want to get stuck mid-move, learn why your mobility matters. Unlike flexibility (the ability to lengthen your muscles) mobility determines how much motion (read: pain-free fun) you can get from your hips, knees and ankles.   Movements that challenge the ends of your motion show you how much mobility you have and how much you may still need to work on. In order to gradually increase your ease of joint motion always start moving slowly, then go a bit faster every day).  Here’s why your mobility matters if you want your join ..read more

Crashes, collisions, slips, trips and falls.  Pain is an inconvenience most of us can’t afford. So when we experience back injury after car accident or fall trauma, we often convince ourselves that, so long as there’s no pain or broken bones, we’re fine to move on with our regular routine.   Not necessarily.  You don’t need to learn Newton’s Laws of Motion to know that after a head-on, rear or side-impact collision your car stops, but your body continues moving until something — seat belt, airbag, steering wheel, windshield or ground — stops it. During a slip and ..read more
