Tight hips can lead to more than just stiffness—they can throw off your posture, limit your movement, and even cause lower back pain. The good news? A few targeted hip-opening stretches can make a huge difference in your mobility, core strength, and how your whole body feels.

Let’s clear something up – literally and figuratively. You’ve probably heard the pop or crack during a chiropractic adjustment and thought, “Are they cracking my bones?” We get it. It sounds intense. But let us assure you: we are not cracking bones.

We’ve all done it—twist the neck, hear a pop, and feel instant relief. But what’s really going on when you crack your own neck?

That sound you hear is gas being released from the joint—kind of like opening a soda can. Cracking your neck may give you a quick sense of relief, increased mobility, less pain, and reduced muscle tension.

If you’ve been feeling bloated, stiff, or just off, it might be what’s on your plate. Inflammation from everyday foods can silently affect your gut and joints—but with a few simple swaps, you can start feeling the difference fast.

If overhead movements feel awkward, restricted, or even painful—your shoulders may be crying out for some mobility work. Whether you’re pressing a barbell, lifting a heavy backpack, or reaching for that top shelf, good shoulder mobility is essential for safe and powerful movement.

The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, and your garden tools are calling your name—but before you dive into your mulch mountain or start shoveling like a champ, let’s make sure your back isn’t paying the price for your spring masterpiece.
