Week eight is a different animal from week one.

Preseason aches mostly come from doing something new. Mid season aches mostly come from doing the same thing a hundred more times. Same sport, different problem, and they do not always respond to the same thing.

The one worth paying attention to is soreness that keeps settling on one side. A pitcher whose right shoulder is always the sore one, a runner whose left hip is always the tight one, a lineman who only ever feels it on one side of the low back. That pattern usually means something is moving less than it should somewhere and the rest of the body is covering for it.

None of that means anything is seriously wrong. It does mean it is worth an actual look rather than waiting for the season to end and hoping it settles on its own.

Happy to take a look and tell you plainly what we find.

Part 2, as promised. Three things to change tonight, and none of them cost anything.

1. One pillow, not two. Two pillows push the head forward and hold the neck bent all night. If you have stacked a second one to get comfortable, that is usually a sign the first pillow is the wrong height rather than a sign you need more of them. What you are after is one pillow that fills the gap between your ear and the mattress.

2. Side sleepers, one between the knees. Without it, the top leg drags the pelvis forward and the low back twists to follow it for seven or eight hours. An ordinary pillow between the knees keeps the hips stacked and may help the morning stiffness settle. Cheapest change on the list, and the one people notice fastest.

3. Back sleepers, one under the knees. Flat on your back, the low back holds an arch all night with nothing supporting it. Lifting the knees a little lets it settle toward neutral. A folded blanket does the same work as a pillow.

The one worth remembering: if you change one of these and you are still waking up sore in two weeks, the position was probably not the thing causing it. That is a fine reason to call and just ask.

The first visit is $59 right now, and here is exactly what that covers.

A consultation, where we listen to what is actually going on. A complete exam. And X-rays if they are needed, which is a decision made during the exam rather than something applied to everybody automatically.

That is normally $200. It runs at $59 through December 31, 2026.

Worth saying plainly: nobody is adjusted on the first visit. The point of visit one is to find out what is happening and to tell you honestly whether chiropractic is the right answer for it. Sometimes it is not, and we will say so.

If you have been putting off finding out, the price is no longer the reason to keep putting it off.

Self-pay new patient offer. Not available to Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, VA or any other federally funded health care program beneficiaries; those patients are seen at standard rates and benefits are verified before the visit. Fees may be adjusted due to complications or unforeseen circumstances. Kenneth Ellul, D.C.

The question we get asked most is not actually about backs. It is some version of "what happens if I come in?" 🤔

So, plainly.

1️⃣ We listen first. What is going on, how long it has been going on, what you have already tried, and what you are actually trying to get back to doing. This part takes longer than most people expect, and it decides most of what follows.

2️⃣ Then a real exam. Movement, orthopedic and neurological testing, and a look at how you are loading things day to day. If imaging is the right call we will tell you. If it is not, we will tell you that too.

3️⃣ Then we tell you what we found in plain language, and what we would suggest doing about it. If chiropractic is not the right answer for what you have, that is a normal thing for us to say, and we will point you toward what is.

What you decide to do with that is up to you.

We are on Weber Road in Romeoville and we are happy to just answer a question if that is all you need.

Quick one. How long has yours been going on? 👇

1️⃣ A few days
2️⃣ A few months
3️⃣ Honestly, years

Reply with a number. That is the whole ask. No booking, no follow up message.

We ask because the answer changes what we look at first.

A few days usually has a moment attached to it, and the useful question is what happened right before. A few months is rarely one moment, it is something you are doing most days without noticing. And the third one is the one we see most, where it has been around so long it stopped feeling like a problem and started feeling like your back.

None of those are worse than the others. They are just different conversations.

Tell us which one you are and we will do the next post on whichever wins.

The leaves are about to start, Romeoville. 🍂

Raking is one of those jobs nobody thinks of as lifting, and then Monday happens. It is repetitive, it is almost always one sided, and most people do three hours of it in an afternoon after doing nothing like it all year.

Three things that may help:

1️⃣ Switch sides every few minutes. Raking is a twist, and doing it the same direction for an hour loads one side of the back far more than the other. Swapping hands feels awkward for about a minute and then it does not.

2️⃣ Bend at the hips and knees, not the low back. Especially when you are scooping up a pile. Get closer to it instead of reaching for it.

3️⃣ Smaller bags, more trips. A packed leaf bag is heavier and far more awkward than it looks, and it is usually the lift into the can that does it.

Sore the next day is ordinary. Sore for a week, or sore with pain running down a leg, is worth a look rather than something to wait out.

We are right here on Weber Road if you overdo it.

Ask Dr. Ellul: why is my back worse in the morning? 🌅

This one comes up almost every week, usually from someone who assumes they slept wrong.

Part of it is simpler than that. Your discs take on fluid overnight and sit at their fullest first thing. That is normal and it happens to everyone. It is also why bending forward in the first half hour can feel worse than the same movement will at ten o'clock.

So a bit of morning stiffness that loosens up once you are moving is usually not the alarming part.

What is worth paying attention to is the other version: pain that does not ease as the day goes on, or that wakes you in the night, or that comes with numbness, tingling or weakness in a leg or arm. That is a different picture and it is worth an actual exam rather than a guess.

If you are not sure which one you have, that is a fine reason to call. We are happy to just answer the question.

You spend about a third of your life in one position, and most people have never thought about which one.

Dr. Ellul gets asked about sleep more than almost anything else, usually by someone who woke up sore on a day when nothing happened. Here is part 1. Swipe. 👉

1️⃣ Stomach sleeping is the hard one. To breathe you have to turn your head to one side and hold it there for hours. That is a rotated neck at end range, all night, and it is often why the stiffness shows up worse on one side.

2️⃣ Side sleeping needs something between the knees. It is the most common position by far and it is fine, with one adjustment. Without support, the top leg drags the pelvis forward and the low back twists to follow it. A pillow between the knees may help.

3️⃣ Back sleeping wants a pillow under the knees. Flat on your back, the low back holds an arch all night. Lifting the knees a little lets it settle.

The one worth remembering: waking up sore is information. Pain that is worst in the first hour and eases as you move is a different picture than pain that stays all day, and those two lead to different conversations.

Part 2 is coming: what to actually change tonight.

Sleeping in one of these and still waking up sore? Tell us which one in the comments and we will tell you what we usually look at first.

Part 2. Three things to change at your desk, and none of them cost anything. 👇

1️⃣ Screen up to eye level. The top of the screen should sit at eye height. Every inch you look down adds load the neck has to hold, all day, without you noticing. A stack of books under a laptop is a completely legitimate fix.

2️⃣ Feet flat, knees roughly level with your hips. If your feet dangle, the chair is too high and your legs are hanging off the front edge. If your knees sit above your hips, it is too low and your pelvis is rolling back, which drags the low back into a slump.

3️⃣ Stand up every 30 minutes. Two minutes is enough. Walk to the kitchen, do nothing useful, sit back down. The interval is what matters, not what you do in it. This is the one that does the most and the one people skip.

If you are going to ignore two of these, ignore the first two. Pick one and do it this week. Three changes at once rarely survive a Monday. One of them usually does.

Not sure which one applies to you? Ask us. Happy to answer without you booking anything.

Ask Dr. Ellul: is it bad to crack my own neck? 🤔

Almost everyone does it, and almost everyone asks this slightly guiltily.

First, the sound. That is gas shifting inside the joint. It is not bone grinding on bone and it is not damage, which is the thing most people are quietly worried about.

The part worth knowing is which joint actually moved. When you crank your own neck, the movement tends to go to the segment that already moves too easily, because that is the one that gives first. The stiff segment, the one more likely to be causing the trouble, mostly stays put. So you get a sound, a few minutes of relief, and the same urge back by the afternoon. That loop is why people end up doing it ten times a day.

None of that means something is wrong. It does mean that if you are cracking your own neck constantly just to get through the day, the thing driving it has not been looked at yet.

Happy to take a look and tell you plainly what we find.
