Got turf toe? Tape it smart šŸ©¹

As I mentioned in my last post, turf toe happens when your big toe bends back too far and strains the joint at its base. Taping helps by limiting how far that toe can extend, which takes stress off the injured tissue so you can keep moving while it heals.

Hereā€™s how we use RockTape for it at PR1ME:
āœ… Support the joint without locking up the whole foot
āœ… Reduce painful extension during push-off
āœ… Add stability for practice, training, and game day

Tape isnā€™t a fix on its own. Itā€™s one tool alongside treatment and rehab, and the right application makes a big difference.

Want us to tape you up and show you how to do it yourself? Book an appointment through the link in bio.

Turf toe isnā€™t ā€œjust a jammed toe.ā€ šŸ¦¶

Itā€™s a sprain of the ligaments and soft tissue at the base of your big toe, usually from forcing it into hyperextension. Think pushing off on turf, landing awkwardly, or getting your foot planted while someone falls on you. Every step, sprint, and cut loads that joint, so it can linger for weeks if itā€™s ignored.

At PR1ME, we use StemWave as part of our turf toe care to calm down pain and inflammation in the area and support the tissue as it heals. Itā€™s non-invasive, needs no downtime, and pairs well with the mobility and strength work that gets you back to full push-off.

If your big toe still hurts every time you sprint or jump, donā€™t wait for it to ā€œgo away.ā€ Book your eval through the link in bio.

I love working with people who have a goal bigger than just trying to get out of pain. When your shoulder pain is keeping you from golfing, but a boys golfing trip is a few months away, you get serious about getting better!

What goal do you have thatā€™s more than just getting out of pain? Letā€™s get there together!!!

Cupping therapy lifts & separates the facial layers, but knowing how to properly apply gliding techniques & dynamic cupping (aka having the patient do movements with the cups on) isnā€™t something you can learn on YouTube.

Anyone can buy a set of cups on Amazon & you can literally train a monkey to apply cups, but to truly understand the underlying mechanism of the fascial slings, it takes a trained healthcare professional.

Your teamā€™s health isnā€™t a perk. Itā€™s a performance strategy.

Companies with strong workplace wellness programs see up to 25% higher productivity. It starts with something as simple as bringing movement and recovery education directly to the workplace.

Thatā€™s what these workshops are built for, to provide practical tools your team can implement immediately.

Iā€™ve spent years prior to & after chiropractic school helping working professionals move and recover better. Bringing that same hands-on approach to companies & organizations who want to invest in their people made all the sense a decade ago, but is even more needed in 2026.

šŸ“© Ready to bring this to your team? DM ā€œWorkplace Wellnessā€ & Dr. Angela will send you the brochure to o learn more & set up a preliminary call.

Did you know concussions can happen from a forceful hit to the body even if the head doesnā€™t get a hit? So if youā€™re suddenly dealing with any of the symptoms below, but canā€™t recall hitting your head after an accident/trauma, itā€™s still likely to have suffered a concussion šŸ¤•

šŸšØWarning signs to watch for:
ā€¢Sudden headache or head pressure
ā€¢Dizziness or balance problems
ā€¢Nausea or vomiting
ā€¢Sensitivity to light &/or sound
ā€¢Confusion or brain fog
ā€¢Feeling sluggish

Because a concussion affects how the brain works & NOT the actual structure, an MRI nor a CT scan can detect a concussion.

It is imperative you seek medical attention with a trained professional. Chiropractors with a CCSP or DACBSP have proper training in dealing with concussions on & off the field.

In the U.S. alone, about 65 million people suffer with low back pain annually.

80% of adults have at least one low back pain episode in their life, but chronic low back pain is the biggest leading cause of people reporting disability from work.

Donā€™t be a statistic! Itā€™s time to actually strengthen your low back instead of just calling it weak. Itā€™s only weak because you never properly trained it, so save this exercise & give it a try or let me know if you need a modification!
