🌿 Condition of the Week: Tech Neck 📱

Tech Neck happens when the head tilts forward for long periods — usually while looking down at phones, tablets, or laptops. This posture increases strain on the neck and upper back, leading to stiffness, headaches, shoulder tension, and reduced mobility.

Chiropractic adjustments help restore healthy motion to the cervical spine, reduce muscle tension, and improve posture so your neck can move the way it’s meant to. Pairing adjustments with simple daily habits — like lifting screens to eye level and taking movement breaks — can make a big difference in how your neck feels.

If you’ve been noticing more tightness, headaches, or upper‑back fatigue, Tech Neck may be the reason! Chiropractic care can help you stay aligned, comfortable, and moving well. Schedule your appointment today by calling (253) 927-0660 or by visiting our website www.mynwwellness.com.

🍩Happy National Donut Day! 🍩

This fun holiday, celebrated every year on the first Friday in June, was created in 1938 by the Salvation Army in Chicago as both a fundraiser and a way to honor the female volunteers, known as "Doughnut Lassies," who served donuts to soldiers during World War I.

Also a fun fact: donuts are one of Dr. Otto's favorite desserts! 😋

🌿 Condition of the Week: Migraines
Migraines aren’t “just headaches” — they can bring throbbing pain, light sensitivity, nausea, and hours (or days) of disruption. What many people don’t realize is how closely migraines can be connected to neck tension, spinal misalignment, and nervous system irritation.

Common migraine triggers include:
• Stress + muscle tension
• Poor posture or long hours at a desk
• Hormonal changes
• Certain foods or environmental factors
• Tightness in the upper neck and shoulders

How chiropractic care can help:
Our providers focus on reducing the underlying tension and joint dysfunction that can contribute to migraine frequency and intensity. Gentle adjustments help improve mobility, calm irritated nerves, and restore balance to the muscles that support your head and neck. Many patients report fewer migraines, shorter episodes, and improved overall comfort with consistent care.

If migraines are interrupting your days, we’re here to help you find relief and support your long‑term wellness. Call us today at (253) 927-0660 or visit our website to schedule an appointment! https://www.mynwwellness.com/
