Popping, clicking, and pain in your side?

It could be slipping rib syndrome. Here’s how to treat it.

If you’re like most people, you rarely think about your rib cage…until it starts to hurt. It’s only then that you realize how much the ribs are involved in your daily movements.

Though rare, slipping rib syndrome can have a tremendous impact on your daily life, even keeping you from doing the most basic tasks.

Read on for more information about this rarely understood condition so you can be well on your way to a diagnosis, treatment, and the relief you deserve.

Tylenol, Aspirin, Advil…what is the best for back pain relief?

As it turns out, the best pain reliever for back pain isn’t what you’d expect.

Your spine is incredible. It’s responsible for bearing your weight, protecting your spinal cord, holding your ribs in place to protect your heart and lungs, and remaining flexible enough to allow you to move.

But most people don’t give their spines a second thought…unless, that is, they’re feeling back pain.

An estimated 80% of people will experience back pain at some point in their lives. And most of those people will turn to an over-the-counter (OTC) pain medication for quick relief.

What is the best pain reliever for back pain? And are medications really the best option?

“Good posture” is more than just sitting up straight.

Here are some stretches for posture exercises to support you…literally!

Good posture isn’t just about “looking confident.” It’s about making sure your body is in the optimal position. By relieving pressure on your muscles, joints, and nerves, the entire body can work the way it’s supposed to.

But improving your posture requires more than sitting up straight. As it turns out, the fastest route to good posture is one you may already be doing.

We’ve rounded up some of the best stretches and exercises to improve your poor posture, reduce aches and pains, and strengthen your core.

You sit at a desk all day…so why does your back hurt so much?

Lower back pain when sitting—but not standing—is common, but that doesn’t mean it’s unavoidable.

If you’ve ever stood up after a long day and thought, “Why does my lower back hurt more when I’m sitting?“, you’re not alone. Lower back pain when sitting but not standing is a common complaint among office workers, remote employees, gamers, and anyone who spends long periods of time in a chair.

It might seem counterintuitive. After all, sitting is supposed to be restful. But the truth is, your body isn’t built to stay in a seated position for hours on end—especially not with poor sitting posture or an unsupportive setup.

Flat feet might seem like a minor inconvenience, but having them can significantly impact how your body feels and moves. Whether you’ve had flat feet for years or developed them recently, they can contribute to foot pain, knee discomfort, and even back pain.

If you’re struggling with any of these issues it’s time to look at your foundation–your feet.

Read on for more information about flat feet, how to strengthen them, and reduce your pain.

When most people think about chiropractic care, they picture spinal adjustments and hands-on treatments. But did you know that diet and nutrition play a key role in spinal health, pain relief, and recovery? Just like a well-tuned car needs the right fuel to run smoothly, your body needs the right nutrients to support proper function, reduce the risk of injury, and promote healing.

The role of nutrition goes beyond weight loss—it directly impacts inflammation, joint health, nerve function, and muscle recovery. By making smart dietary choices, you can enhance your body’s ability to hold adjustments longer, heal faster, and experience better mobility.

If you’re looking to get the most out of your chiropractic visits, optimizing your diet and nutrition is a great place to start. In this guide, we’ll explore how the right foods and nutrients can support overall health and maximize the benefits of chiropractic treatment.

When most people think about exercising, they often focus on weight loss or fitting into a favorite pair of jeans. Yet there’s another huge benefit of a well-rounded workout routine that doesn’t always get the spotlight: supporting your spine.

Working on your core muscles—which go way beyond the classic “six-pack”—can do wonders for reducing back pain, improving posture, and enhancing overall stability. In fact, having a strong core helps provide a solid foundation for nearly every movement in everyday life, whether you’re hauling groceries, playing with your kids, or even just sitting at your desk.

With the right approach, you can increase flexibility, ease nagging aches, and build a healthier back—no matter where you’re starting from.

While some forms of nerve pain can be relatively harmless—like the quick jolt of hitting your funny bone or the fleeting “pins and needles” in your foot—other types can be incredibly uncomfortable and even debilitating. Chronic nerve discomfort can interfere with everything from getting a good night’s sleep to performing the simplest everyday tasks.

But can a chiropractor help with nerve pain?

In the sections ahead, we’ll explore how chiropractic care may offer relief from nerve pain, the benefits of chiropractic care, the types of nerve-related issues chiropractors often see, and what to expect during treatment.

Whether you’re dealing with mild irritation or more persistent aches and tingles, it’s worth understanding how a holistic approach can play a role in managing—or even alleviating—nerve pain.

Desk work getting you down? Don’t let your spine suffer.

Here’s how to create an ergonomic desk setup that will help—not hurt—your body.

Whether you’re heading into an office or working from home in your favorite slippers, having an ergonomic workstation is more important than ever. After all, most of us spend hours sitting at a desk, and an ergonomic desk setup can make the difference between ending the day feeling great or dealing with aches and pains.

Contrary to what you might think, setting up an ergonomic space doesn’t have to require expensive equipment or a complete overhaul to have an immense impact.

Read on for practical tips to create a workstation that supports your body—no matter where you call “the office.”

Chiropractic adjustments help in so many ways including chronic pain, injuries, and yes, even blood pressure management.

Although blood pressure is probably not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of chiropractic adjustments, those suffering from hypertension should know that research suggests a well-aligned spine and nervous system may have positive effects on blood flow and heart health.

Read on for more information about how chiropractic adjustments may influence your systolic and diastolic blood pressure and why they may be worth considering for your overall well-being.
