Health Tips

Ice for pain

A cold or ice pack can limit pain and swelling. Try icing your shoulder for a few minutes after you do your exercises.

Body mechanics

Body mechanics are important to remember when lifting any object. Keep the head upright and the back in an arched position. Keep weight close to the body.

Dry Needling is magic! I came in with severe sciatica and got immediate relief after the first session. My symptoms were fully gone after several sessions. I highly recommend Joint Effort. The staff are all very professional and caring.
