Shoulder Pain?
Did you know that chiropractors treat more than just the spine? Chiropractors are trained to address musculoskeletal problems throughout the body, including shoulder and rotator cuff issues. They do this with the use of active release therapy (ART), which uses manual pressure and movement to break down adhesions in the muscles, tendons, and ligaments around the shoulder. This helps to reduce pain and improve range of motion, promoting faster healing by increasing blood flow and mobility in the affected tissues. Chiropractic adjustments help stabilize the shoulder joint, improve biomechanics, and reduce compensatory strain, promoting a more comprehensive recovery for the rotator cuff and surrounding muscles.

January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month
Alzheimer’s disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that destroys brain cells, causing thinking ability and memory to deteriorate over time. Alzheimer’s disease is not a normal part of aging and is irreversible. While it’s difficult to predict symptoms, the order in which they will appear or the speed of their progression, there are some warning signs you can look out for. Sudden changes to your loved one’s personality are often another sign that something is not right. These changes can include anxiety, paranoia, depression, and socially inappropriate behaviors, as well as sudden mood swings and physical aggression.
