If you play sports long enough, your neck is eventually going to hate you at some point. Between headers in soccer, wrestling takedowns, a bad fall on the ski hill, or that one pick-up basketball game where your buddy forgot how gravity works—athletes take some wild hits. And while “whiplash” sounds like a car-accident problem, the truth is this: sports create more neck sprains, concussions, and lingering headaches than half of the fender-benders happening in Minnesota.
Read MoreHip pain is one of the most common—and most misunderstood—issues we treat at Minnesota Movement. In today’s sit-more, move-less culture, hip dysfunction isn’t about age or mileage alone. It’s about imbalance, compensation, and poor load management over time.
Whether it’s your tight hip flexors, ‘weak glutes’, or years of compensation or imbalance - simply stretching alone won’t fix that. Rest won’t either. You need a plan.
Read MorePostural pain doesn’t care if you’re an athlete or a desk worker — it shows up when your body spends too much time in one position without the strength or mobility to support it.
After all, the only “bad” posture is one that we spend too much time in.
Sixty hours slouched at a desk will hurt you.
So will sixty hours standing without support.
The problem isn’t posture — it’s lack of variability and poor control.Changing posture takes intention, strategy, and real work — not temporary fixes like a new chair or a posture brace that collects dust after two weeks.
Low back pain is the #1 reason people seek chiropractic care nationwide—and it’s also the leading cause of complaints or disability in active adults. Translation: if you move, lift, train, ski, golf, or sit for a living… your low back is eventually going to complain. That doesn’t mean you’re broken! It means that you’re human.
Whether your pain came on suddenly during a lift, built up slowly from training volume, or showed up out of nowhere after years of desk work or daily movement, our approach blends hands-on chiropractic care, soft tissue work, and corrective exercise rehab to get you moving better—fast—and keep you there.
Read MoreThoracic Outlet Syndrome is commonly mis-diagnosed as a ‘pinched nerve” or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome because a lot of the signs and symptoms are very similar. However, TOS varies greatly from the two aforementioned conditions. Your thoracic outlet is a small bundle of nerves, veins, and arteries that leave your neck and travel all the way down to your fingers - dispersing blood and nerves along the way. When this bundle becomes compromised, you get signs and symptoms such as numbness, tingling, decreased blood flow, discoloration, and weakness.
Read MoreIf your hamstring has ever “grabbed,” “twinged,” or straight-up betrayed you mid-sprint, you know the exact flavor of panic I’m talking about. Hamstring issues are basically the tax athletes pay for wanting to actually do things with their body. But here’s the good news: they’re fixable — when someone knows what they’re doing.
At Minnesota Movement Chiropractic Sport & Spine, we help athletes and active adults around the Lake Minnetonka area get out of hamstring pain fast — and more importantly, keep it from coming back the next time you sprint, lift, jump, or try to prove you’ve “still got it.”
