Does coffee help or hurt migraines? The answer might surprise you. ☕️

A recent study found that regular coffee drinkers may have a lower risk of developing migraines. Certain compounds in coffee may help protect against migraine attacks.

But here’s the catch. If you suddenly stop drinking coffee or have too much, it can temporarily trigger headaches for some people. That’s why the coffee–migraine connection has been so confusing.

The bottom line? For many people, coffee in moderation might be part of the solution, not the problem.

Learning how your daily habits affect your symptoms can make a real difference if you have recurring headaches or migraines.

If you’ve been struggling with ongoing shoulder pain, there are effective options to help you move more freely and get back to your normal activities.

On this day 25 years ago, our country was viciously attacked and everyday heroes emerged who helped minimize the number of innocent victims who lost their lives. We will never forget what happened on September 11, 2001, the 2977 lives lost in New York, Washington, DC, and Shanksville, PA, nor the sacrifices of heroes like Welles Crowther- the man in the red bandana.

Struggling with jaw pain, teeth grinding, or tension headaches? Your neck may be playing a bigger role than you realize.

Recent research shows that when the neck muscles become tired, they can affect how the jaw muscles work. This can make the jaw more sensitive, limit how far you can open your mouth, and increase strain on the muscles you use to chew.

That means treating the jaw alone may not be enough. Addressing neck tension can be key to lasting relief.

If you’ve been experiencing jaw discomfort or grinding, we can help by examining the bigger picture.
