Check out my new blog where i discuss why it’s never as simple as “tight hip flexors cause back pain”. This is a conversation I’ve been having frequently as of late, so hopefully it helps to shed some light on the significance of a “tight” hip flexor, where it comes from, and if it even causes low back pain!

I do NOT adjust everyone — and honestly, a good number of people come to me because they don’t want to be adjusted but still want a comprehensive, integrative approach to their pain.

There are a lot of strong opinions about spinal manipulation, and if you already have one, this post probably won’t change your mind — and that’s totally fine.

Here’s how I use it: manipulation is never the whole treatment. It’s just one tool in a bigger plan that includes soft tissue work, rehab, shockwave, movement training — the stuff that changes how your body actually functions long-term.

And I only use manipulation for people who are truly good candidates for it.

❌ People who are NOT ideal candidates:

• Anyone with medical red flags
• Progressive neurological sensory or motor deficits
• Conditions like severe osteoporosis or uncontrolled hypertension
• Prior fusion in the region we’d be adjusting
• High fear-avoidance or anxiety around manipulation
• And of course — anyone who simply doesn’t want to be adjusted

✅ People who ARE good candidates:

• Pain that is clearly musculoskeletal and behaves mechanically
• Regional stiffness, joint restriction, or that “stuck” feeling
• Healthy tissue capacity without major risk factors
• No significant distal neurological symptoms
• Comfortable with and confident in the process
• Open to combining manipulation with rehab and movement work
• Pain that improves or changes with movement
• People looking to restore mobility, not just get a quick crack

Manipulation is a powerful tool — when it’s used for the right person, for the right reason, and as part of a bigger strategy.

That’s how I approach it in my clinic

It’s completely normal to have a flare-up every now and then.

One of the most common things I hear from patients is: “I thought I was fixed, but now the pain’s back — maybe I’m unfixable.”

Whether it’s been 3 months or 3 years since your original injury, feeling those familiar aches can be discouraging. But here’s the truth — flare-ups don’t mean you’ve gone backwards. They’re part of the normal recovery process. Your body isn’t broken — it’s simply signaling that it needs a little extra attention right now.

What matters most is how you respond. Stay calm, listen to your body, and address the issue early before it snowballs.

Here are a few ways to manage a flare-up effectively:

1️⃣ Take away the negatives.
Reduce or modify the things that aggravate your issue. That could mean changing your desk setup, switching from barbell to dumbbell work, using lighter weights, adjusting your pillow height, taking a few days off from Orange Theory, or finding a more supportive sitting position in your car. The goal is to minimize the inputs that are irritating your system so your body can calm down and recover.

2️⃣ Add in positives.
Once symptoms settle, gradually reintroduce the things that help. Stretching, gentle mobility work, yoga, and targeted strengthening are all ways to build tolerance and resilience in the affected area. Consistency matters more than intensity — you’re teaching your body to move and load safely again.

3️⃣ Use boosters.
Consider supportive recovery tools or professionals who can help accelerate healing — like a sports chiropractor, physical therapist, or strength coach. You can also incorporate recovery methods such as red light therapy, sauna, or cold plunge to reduce inflammation and improve circulation.

Remember: a flare-up isn’t failure — it’s feedback. Treat it as an opportunity to tune in, reset, and come back stronger.#sacramentochiropractor #golferselbow

Have you been told that one leg is “shorter” than the other?

This might make you think that one of your legs is physically shorter than the other, but in reality there’s likely an imbalance up the kinetic chain that is creating the illusion that one leg is shorter than the other

In reality, your legs are most likely the same length - there’s just a rotation happening up higher in the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex that’s shifting one side of your pelvis higher than the other

This draws up the hip joint on that “higher” on that side, making it look like your legs are of different lengths when observed lower down, like at your feet

What can cause this “upshift” in the pelvis is some combination of joint restrictions and or muscular tightness patterns, which can be addressed through training/rehab, myofascial work, and/or chiropractic adjustments (depending on the nature of what’s causing it)

This is obviously more of a “scratch the surface” introduction, but this is an overview of why it may appear that your leg length has some kind of discrepancy between left and right

Hope this helps!

Using shockwave therapy to break up adhesions in Dupuytren’s contracture 🖐️

This is a condition where the tissue in your palm thickens and forms rope-like cords, slowly pulling your fingers into a bent position.

Radial and focused shockwave therapy are highly recommended interventions for this issue and are listed as an “excellent indications” by the International Society of Medical Shockwave Therapy (ISMST) for dupuytren’s contracture

For this patient, we’ve been using a combo of focused + radial shockwave therapy to break down those stubborn adhesions, plus some active release technique to free up mobility.

Although important, this room is only the first step in the sports injury recovery process. Here we help you get out of pain, calm down swelling and inflammation, and prepare your body for the next phase.

But here’s the truth: pain relief alone isn’t enough. If you want lasting results, you have to go beyond the short-term fix and address the underlying factors that led to the injury in the first place. That’s where movement, exercise, and retraining your body come in.

Every person has a different history, different movement patterns, and different stresses placed on their body. That means recovery isn’t just about treating symptoms—it’s about restoring balance, improving resilience, and giving your body the tools to handle life (and sport) without breaking down again.

That’s what makes this work so rewarding. It’s not just about helping you feel better today—it’s about helping you build a stronger foundation for tomorrow.

Locked in for life 💍 LFG!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

I love you so much 🫶🏼

6 surgeries - 1 total knee replacement - Still stiff!
Here’s how we’re getting it moving again:

I’m combining focused shockwave therapy with myofascial release, both active and passive, plus some Mulligan mobilizations to target deep restrictions in the joint and surrounding tissues.

Shockwave stimulates healing at the cellular level, while manual therapy and movement help re-train the nervous system and restore mobility of the underlying soft tissues.

This isn’t cookie-cutter rehab. It’s a personalized, layered approach to stubborn knee pain and stiffness.

If your knee still feels stuck after surgery, there’s more we can do!

So many exciting things coming up this year 😎☀️

Another plantar fasciitis case 🦶

In my treatments, i use multiple different therapies to address the site of pain/inflammation locally in the heel and then to address the muscle/fascia compensations in the adjacent regions of the kinetic chain

This, combined with at home stretching/rehab protocols, is what I’ve found to be the most effective at treating conditions like plantar fasciitis

By far the most powerful tool i use is a focused shockwave therapy, which is a highly researched and effective device that stimulates the healing process with intense focused sound waves directed into the damaged area

Manual therapy and joint mobilizations for the knee 🦵🏼

Here, we’re dealing with a knee that can’t move very far into flexion or extension due to a copious amount of scar tissue in the knee

This is preventing him from being able to fully straighten or bend his, and it’s starting to cause problems up his kinetic chain

Initially, our appointments were focused primarily on reducing swelling and inflammation

Once that was addressed and we got him to be more tolerant to weight-bearing, the next phase is on range of motion

To do this I’ve been working on helping him to restore the accessory motions of the knee, which include internal and external rotation, medial and lateral glide, and front to back glide

These motions, although small, significantly help him to achieve a greater range of motion in his knee

At the moment, he’s approximately 25° away from straightening his knees out to full extension, and flexion is about 115°, which is a significant improvement from when he started with me

Other things I’m not showing here include active release technique and Graston therapy to the soft tissues of the front and back of his quad and hamstring, along with end range holds and isometric contraction to activate his dormant quads

Or transitioning into the next phase which is more focused on active care, and include includes a host movements that restore strength to his leg, hip, and core

I’ll do my best to keep you updated with this case as it continues!

Is this something that you or someone you know may need help with?

Here’s a movement prep I’ve been incorporating into my warm ups for my shoulders

I haven’t been doing my due diligence of focusing on their health in my training, which is important because they’ve been put through a lot of trauma over the 10 years of playing rugby 😅

This blends in some open kinetic chain, closed kinetic chain, and rolling patterns into a quick movement sequence that just makes them feel so good

If you’re having stiff shoulders and a light to medium KB nearby, i highly recommend you give this a go 🎉

Check out this hamstring mobility tool ✅

They’re called PAILs, which stands for progressive angular isometric loading (FRC specialists might disagree, but close enough in my book)

They’re performed by contracting the muscular group you want to stretch, followed by a stretching the relaxed muscle, and repeating

It helps to downregulate the amount of “on” signal that the muscle is receiving from the muscle at rest

Give this a try if you’re feeling tight in the hammies!

Calf pain in a runner 🏃‍♂️

Here’s an example of how I address both the local site of pain as well as upstream functional contributing factors that contribute to the pain in the first place

This is why it’s so important to look at the body as a hole as opposed to only treating it as discreet parts

It would be easy to spend 30 minutes addressing just to the calf , but without taking a look at how other interdependent regions of the body work, we would never have found out what may be contributing to him over utilizing his left calf

In this case it was a lack of tissue extensibility in the left hamstring as well as a joint based restriction of internal rotation of the right hip

About 50-60% of neck rotation comes from the top 2 vertebral bones (C1-C2)

A restriction in neck range of motion can come from a variety of sources, whether that be from the joints, muscles, connective tissue, or a protective guarding from the nervous system

A neck adjustment is a quick and effective way to restore lost neck range of motion that’s primarily from joint restrictions, which can develop from a number of different regions

Even though the Annals of Medicine journal’s comprehensive review of existing literature shows that spine mobilization and manipulation are not causative factors for artery dissection in the neck, we still want to be careful when adjusting

The way that we can preserve the safety of the neck during a neck adjustment is to minimize rotation as much as possible and build in rotation to the setup, which is what I’m doing here

Shockwave and myofascial release to treat knee pain from scar tissue

Scar tissue build up is a major consequence of knee surgery, which can prove to be problematic in a joint that expresses so much motion

So to help break up the scar tissue, we use shockwave therapy. After that, we use myofascial release and assisted stretching to address the surrounding structures

You’d be surprised at how much range of motion we can restore in just a couple of sessions!

Shockwave therapy for fractures 🦴

Focused shockwave therapy is a technology that directs highly compressed acoustic sound waves into damaged or irritated tissues

This stimulates the cells in the area to respond *like* they’ve undergone microtrauma (they don’t actually)

This leads to a release in signaling molecules that initiate a cascade of healing responses, such as:
- increased blood vessel formation (neovascularization)
- increased blood vessel dilation (via NO and ENOS)
- increased collagen synthesis
- macrophage M1->M2 conversion (more of an “anti-inflammatory” effect)
- reduced pain by reducing substance p (neuropeptide that communicates pain signals)
- and MORE

All of this together help the healing process in a host of different tissues, as long as the amount of energy from the machine (like the “punching power”) is correctly applied

This is why i use it on SO MANY THINGS IN MY PRACTICE!!

A reintroduction for some of the new followers!!

Hi 👋🏼 my name is Dr. Nate - I’m a sports chiropractor in Sacramento that treats musculoskeletal pain (sport related or not) using a blend of adjustments, myofascial release, shockwave therapy, and movement

My office is located inside of @fitnessrangers - 1717 34th st, Sacramento

I received my B.S. in Neurobiology, physiology, and behavior (NPB) with a minor in Exercise Biology and received my D.C Magna Cum Laude from Palmer West, ending my schooling with a clinical rotation at the Veterans Affairs associated with Stanford in Monterey

I spent one glorious decade injuring myself over and over while playing rugby - partially why I’m so driven to help my people get out of pain and back to doing what they love

I spent 8 years as a personal trainer and boxing coach, which helps me to see how much of a role movement plays in the recovery process for all pain and performance issues

My passions outside of chiropractic/healthcare are heavy electronic music, mountain biking, skiing, golf, paddle boarding, enjoying nature, spending time with loved ones, local community, travel, and personal development

I offer 20-40 minute sessions that include any combination of movement, manual therapy, chiropractic, and shockwave therapy - each combination of which is uniquely crafted for each person

If you feel like i may be able to help you, PLEASE FEEL FREE OF TO REACH OUT - even if it’s only to ask a question!

Hope to see you soon!

Manual therapy for a rotator cuff muscle 💪

This muscle is called the infraspinatus, and it’s isolated roles are shoulder external rotation, shoulder flexion, and horizontal abduction - but in reality it’s important for balancing the forces across the ball and socket in tandem with the other rotator cuff muscles

It’s one of the most common muscles to develop trigger points in today’s day and age because the constant tension that it’s under while we sit in a forward slouched position with internally rotated shoulders

And it’s my favorite muscle to get worked on because I’m guilty of this too 🙋‍♂️

So in order to melt the shoulder tension away and restore muscle/shoulder function, you can perform a “pin and stretch” of the muscle, shown here

A weak core is NOT the reason for your back pain 🚫

Here’s the truth: back pain is multifactorial, meaning many factors like stress, sleep, psychological health, movement patterns, and past injuries can all play a rold

The idea that you just need to do a million crunches to eliminate back pain is a myth. If it were that simple, no one would have back pain!

The of the problem isn’t core strength - ONE of the problems is the timing, coordination, and synergy how of the trunk, hip, and shoulder stabilizers

Your stabilizers (core, hips, and spine) need to fire at the right time to maintain balance and control during movement. That’s why exercises like bear crawls, Turkish get-ups, and single-arm farmer carries are so effective. They challenge your body dynamically, improving the way your muscles work together in real life—not just on a gym mat.

Stop focusing on how ‘strong’ your core is and start training your body to move better! 💪

Taking care of knee pain 🦿

Just after an injury, we focus more on passive therapies to control pain, swelling, and inflammation

So here we’re focusing more at the side of injury just after it happened

Eventually will get into the functional things that make this stronger and more robust so that this doesn’t happen in the future, but for now we’re focusing on the immediate problem

In order to address the local area were using Graston therapy and other myofascial release techniques

Combining therapies to address golfer’s elbow 🏌️🏌️‍♀️🏌️‍♂️

In short:

- focused shockwave stimulates cellular repair, improves blood flow, activates stem cells, increases collagen synthesis, etc
- cupping further enhances blood flow and localizes it to the areas we shockwaved, as well as improves pliability of the underlying facial network through decompression
- Graston further improves myofascial mobility and pliability in the adjacent structures to the medial epicondyle where the golfers elbow is most prominent
- active release technique stretches distal structures while the proximal structures are pinned down, improving the function of the muscular compartment as a whole
- at home rehab and exercise modification for reinforce what we’ve done here today, making her more anti-fragile and robust in the future

I try to be as specific as i can be when adjusting my patients 🔎

This means that i try to determine what joints are stuck and in what planes of motion they’re stuck in

In particular, i pay attention to areas called “transitional zones” - these are areas where one region of the spine transitions to another. These areas are more susceptible to stiffness, causing compensation in the adjacent spinal regions

This helps me identify what adjustments I’m going to perform and at what levels

It also gives me an idea of how effective those adjustments were - i can check for how well the joints are moving after in a post-adjustment assessment

POV I’m coaching you for active mobility work for the superficial front line

In my clinic i primarily focus on manual therapy, but that does not downplay the importance of showing you strategies that help you maintain your own body tissues

Here, we are going through a strategy of improving the extensibility of something called the front line, which is a series of muscles that work together functionally and are located primarily at the front of the body (i.e. rectus abdominis and quads)

This helps to “unwind” the forward and flexed sitting position, which is all too common in today’s sedentary lifestyle

Demure in Napa 🍇

#napa #winetasting #fancy #demure #winetrain

It can be extremely difficult to find a new chiropractor…

I think this is because we are all so different. Some do adjustments only, some don’t adjust at all. Others will have an hour long session and others will see you for 5 minutes.

We all have a unique approach to human movement and it’s one of the reasons why this profession is so cool but also why it’s difficult to shop for a chiro, whether for the first time or because you moved to new area

When looking for a new chiropractor, my recommendation is to look for someone who has multiple tools to approach a problem - meaning someone who uses movement as part of their assessment and combines chiropractic with manual therapy and rehab as part of their treatment approach, all in an extended session that’s longer than 5-10 minutes

This is because if you go to someone who is a hammer (has one toolbox) then everything to them looks like a nail. This might not be the right solution for something as complex as human movement

Just my opinion but i feel that this is the the highest quality of care that a chiropractor can offer. Not that there is no benefit from an abbreviated session, but i think most anti-fragility comes when everything is combined together

The cat cow mobility exercise can also serve as a rudimentary screening tool for spinal health 🐈‍⬛ 🐄

If you’re experiencing any kind of neck, shoulder, back, or hip pain, i recommend you try this movement

The ability to express full flexion and extension is an important prerequisite for spinal function.

If you aren’t able to do so in a smooth, coordinated fashion from one end of the range to the other, that implies there’s a mobility problem, stability problem, or some combination of the two.

If you fall into this category and aren’t able to express full range, please feel free to DM me so we can have a conversation about why that might be 😊

- plantar fasciitis - achilles tendinopathy - patellar tendinopathy - shin splints - greater trochanteric pain syndrome - golfer/tennis elbow - calcific tendinosis (shoulder) - rotator cuff strains/tears - any chronic tendon dysfunction/pain

- osteoarthritis of the foot, knee, hip, shoulder, and spine

- Fractures that do not require surgical intervention (delayed/non-union fractures and anatomically aligned fractures, such as the clavicle)

Patients who are suffering from issues not listed above should consult the International Society of Medical Shockwave Therapy (ISMST) for a more comprehensive list.

At Sacramento Shockwave Therapy, we believe in providing transparent, highly competitive pricing so you can make the most effective decision about your care.

New Patient Evaluation: $160 (40 minutes, which usually includes treatment)

If we have determined through the medical history and evaluation that you ARE a candidate for shockwave therapy, the following prices apply:

Standard Treatment: $100 (20 minutes)

Extended Treatment: $185 (40 minutes)

We offer a 6 pack for a discounted rate.

If we determine that you ARE NOT a candidate for shockwave therapy, we still have options for you, such as chiropractic manipulation, active release technique, Graston therapy, etc. and the prices will be $15 LESS per treatment.

Unfortunately, insurance companies do not reimburse for shockwave therapy at this time.
