Now that the weather is nice, lots of people are back on the golf course. ⛳

That also means we’ve been seeing more golfer’s elbow.

Golfer’s elbow causes pain on the inside of the elbow and is often linked to repetitive gripping and swinging. While strengthening is important, treatment should not stop at the elbow.

A golf swing is a full-body movement. If the hips, spine, or shoulders are not moving well, extra stress can be transferred into the elbow.

That’s why evaluating the whole movement chain matters. 🏌️

Headaches a few times a week? That's not normal, and it's not something you just have to live with.

Here's what most people don't realize: many chronic headaches have a musculoskeletal cause. Tension headaches are often driven by tight muscles in the neck. Cervicogenic headaches stem from dysfunction in the cervical spine. Both respond really well to chiropractic care and manual therapy.

Even migraines — which are more complex — have been shown to improve with a multimodal approach that includes spinal manipulation and targeted treatment.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer, which is exactly why our team takes the time to figure out what's driving your headaches before we start treating them.

Still struggling with chronic plantar fasciitis? 👣

Plantar fasciitis is often more than just irritation at the bottom of the foot. Tightness in the calf muscles and surrounding tissues can also contribute.

Stretching and strengthening can help, but a recent review found that combining soft-tissue therapy with exercise led to greater improvements in heel pain, foot function, and ankle mobility than exercise alone.

Feel like your tennis elbow just isn’t getting better? 🎾

What if it’s not actually just tennis elbow?

A recent study found that 44% of patients with persistent tennis elbow symptoms also had radial tunnel syndrome, a condition characterized by irritation of a nerve near the elbow.

This means you could be doing all the “right” exercises, but if a nerve is involved, symptoms may persist.

That’s why getting the right diagnosis matters. 💡

Pain traveling from your neck into your arm can feel scary. 😣

For many people, the first thought is, “Do I need surgery?”

But research found that surgical and non-surgical care showed similar long-term improvements after 12 months. 🙌

That means surgery is not always the only option for neck pain that radiates into the arm.

Check out this infographic to learn more about choosing the natural solution first.

Does lifting with low back pain mean your muscles are “working wrong”? 🤔

Not necessarily.

A recent study found that trunk muscle activity during lifting was very similar in people with and without a history of low back pain.

What does this mean? Low back pain is often more complex than just “weak muscles” or “bad lifting mechanics.” Factors like mobility, endurance, recovery, and stress can all play a role.

That’s why treatment should focus on the whole person, not just one movement. 💪
