Lower back pain affects millions of people every day, whether from long hours at a desk, poor posture, physical strain, or an underlying condition like sciatica or muscle imbalances. While chiropractic care is one of the most effective long-term solutions for spinal health, foam rolling can be a powerful self-care tool to complement your chiropractic treatments and help manage pain between visits. At Meyer Chiropractic in Southlake, we often recommend foam roller exercises as part of a patient’s home care routine. When done correctly, foam rolling helps release muscle tension, improve circulation, enhance flexibility, and reduce pressure on the [...]

An auto accident, even a minor one, can wreak havoc on your body. While you might walk away without broken bones or visible injuries, the sudden force of a collision can cause hidden damage to your muscles, joints, and spine. Often, symptoms don't show up until hours—or even days—later, making it easy to overlook the need for medical attention. But delaying care can lead to chronic pain, mobility issues, and long-term complications. At Meyer Chiropractic in Southlake, we specialize in helping patients recover safely and naturally from car accidents. Our approach is non-invasive, drug-free, and focused on restoring proper [...]

Muscle strains are one of the most common causes of lower back pain, often occurring from lifting heavy objects incorrectly, sudden movements, or overuse.

A herniated disc can cause severe pain, numbness, and even mobility issues, making everyday activities difficult. When a spinal disc slips out of place or ruptures, it can press on nearby nerves, leading to sharp, radiating pain that affects the back, neck, and even extremities. If you’re struggling with discomfort from a herniated disc, chiropractic care offers a safe, non-invasive solution to relieve pressure, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility—without surgery or medication. At Meyer Chiropractic in Southlake, we specialize in treating spinal conditions like herniated discs through gentle, targeted adjustments and corrective therapies designed to help your body heal [...]

It’s easy to dismiss minor injuries as no big deal. A slight twist of the ankle, a small strain in your lower back, or a twinge in your shoulder after a workout may seem like something that will heal on its own. However, ignoring small injuries can lead to chronic pain that becomes much harder to treat over time. At Meyer Chiropractic in Southlake, we see many patients suffering from chronic pain that started as minor, untreated injuries. Understanding how small injuries can escalate—and knowing when to seek treatment—can save you from long-term discomfort and mobility issues. Why Do [...]

Whether it’s a dull ache, sharp pain, or limited mobility, persistent shoulder discomfort can make daily tasks—like reaching overhead, lifting objects, or even sleeping—difficult and frustrating. If your shoulder pain won’t go away, it’s time to explore the underlying causes. At Meyer Chiropractic in Southlake, we specialize in diagnosing and treating chronic shoulder pain through non-invasive, drug-free chiropractic care that targets the root of the problem rather than just masking symptoms. Common Reasons Your Shoulder Pain Isn’t Improving If your shoulder [...]

Headaches can be more than just a minor inconvenience—they can disrupt your day, make it difficult to focus, and even prevent you from completing daily tasks. Two of the most common types of headaches are tension headaches and migraines, both of which can cause significant discomfort but have different underlying causes. While over-the-counter medications may provide temporary relief, they don’t address the root of the problem. Chiropractic care offers a natural, drug-free approach to managing and preventing headaches by targeting spinal misalignments, muscle tension, and nerve irritation. Tension Headaches and Migraines Though tension headaches and migraines share some similarities, [...]
