The floor is lava. 🌋
..except for some people, it’s not really a game.

That sharp heel pain on your first steps in the morning is one of the most common signs of plantar fasciitis - and while the symptoms are generally in the foot, many factors contribute to it.

Calf tightness, ankle mobility, hip strength, footwear - they all influence how much load ends up on the plantar fascia with every single step you take.

So if your heel keeps flaring up no matter what you try, it might be worth looking at the whole picture, not just the painful spot.

💬 Comment LAVA if your mornings feel exactly like this.

Somewhere in our contract it says “provide exceptional patient care.”

We’ve looked everywhere. It does not say anything about this.

Happy Friday from the team 🎬

Your knee has been getting all the attention. But something else has been lurking in the background this whole time. 👀

If your knee pain keeps coming back - or just won’t fully settle - your hip might be more involved than you think. The two joints share a lot of load, and when one isn’t pulling its weight, the other one tends to know about it.

Not every knee problem starts at the knee.

💬 Comment KNEE or HIP - which one gives you more grief?

Hiding because apparently “good chiropractors are hard to find.” 🙈

Well. Now you’ve found us.

One ankle passes every test. The other one... has some explaining to do…🦶

Try it yourself - stand on one leg, cross your arms, and see how long you last. Then swap sides. Most people are surprised by how different each ankle feels.

If one side consistently wobbles, gives way, or just doesn’t feel as trustworthy, that’s often not just a strength issue - it’s a stability and control issue. And it’s really common after a previous ankle sprain.

💬 Comment LEFT, RIGHT or SAME - which ankle do you trust more?

Receptionists don’t get enough credit. 🏆

Ours handle phone calls, questions, last-minute changes, and - apparently - whatever we decide to hand them mid-conversation 😉

They’re often the first voice you hear and the reason you feel at ease before you even walk through the door. And they do it all without missing a beat.

Happy Friday from our incredible front desk team at Brunswick Chiro. They hold this place together and we love them! 🙌

We’ve made an arrest. 🚨

The calves have been taken in for questioning. Charges: shin splints. Again.

But here’s the thing... after a thorough investigation, turns out they’re not the only ones responsible.

Training load, footwear, running mechanics, recovery - they all had a hand in it. The calves were just the ones who got caught.

MTSS (aka shin splints) is rarely one thing. And treating it like it is? That’s how runners end up back at square one.
