Not sure whether you have golfer's elbow or tennis elbow? This guide explains the key differences between these two common elbow tendon injuries, including where the pain occurs, which tendons are affected, how each condition is diagnosed, and the most effective treatment options. Learn why both injuries are caused by repetitive strain, how progressive tendon loading supports recovery, and when it's time to seek professional care.

Rest calms plantar fasciitis for a while, then the heel pain comes back the moment you're back on your feet. This post explains the calf and foot muscle dysfunction that keeps reloading the fascia, and how Softwave therapy and muscle reactivation address it directly.

Take advantage of National Wellness Month (August) to explore five key factors that determine how quickly the body recovers from an injury: sleep, protein and hydration, muscle reactivation, targeted therapies (PEMF and Erchonia laser), and daily movement instead of complete rest. The key difference is that pain can disappear without full function returning, because inhibited muscles remain "off" until specifically reactivated. Include a four-week reset (one change per week) and conclude with a note on injury prevention for active Utah athletes who alternate between weekdays at the office and high-impact weekends at the Wasatch.

Covers five common causes (bursitis, piriformis syndrome, shortened hip flexors, hip impingement, sacroiliac dysfunction) and argues the issue is usually soft-tissue compression and muscle deactivation rather than joint damage. Solutions include muscle reactivation, soft tissue work, and habit changes like standing up every 30 minutes.

Explains why injuries spike in August and September when kids jump back into intense practice after a lighter summer. Suggests a 2-3 week ramp-up period before two-a-day practices, sport-specific conditioning, and watching for limping, next-morning soreness, or one-sided complaints.

Distinguishes normal running discomfort (dull ache around the kneecap, IT band tightness) from warning-sign pain (sharp, localized, rapid swelling, or instability). Recommends not increasing distance and terrain difficulty at the same time, and addressing hip, calf, and shin weakness to fix the root cause instead of just resting.

The AMIT Method and traditional chiropractic care approach pain from different angles: chiropractic corrects joint position directly, while AMIT first identifies and reactivates "inhibited" muscles that stopped firing correctly after an injury. The core idea is that a misaligned joint is often being pulled out of position by a muscle that isn't stabilizing it, not the other way around.

Both conditions look similar but are told apart by a passive range-of-motion test: with frozen shoulder, passive movement is just as limited as active movement, while with impingement, passive movement is nearly normal. Treatment differs too, gradual stretching for frozen shoulder versus fixing shoulder blade mechanics for impingement.

Shoulder pain that lingers past a few weeks usually points to rotator cuff damage or impingement, not a pulled muscle. Here's how to tell the difference and what actually resolves it.

Neck compression can send pain, numbness and weakness all the way to your fingers. Here is how to tell where the nerve is actually being pinched, and why arm symptoms so often get treated in the wrong place.

A clean X-ray after a car accident tells you nothing is broken. It doesn't tell you why your neck still won't turn all the way, or why the headaches started three days later. This post explains the muscle inhibition pattern most standard care misses after whiplash, and why the right evaluation, not just rest, is what actually gets people back to normal.

Delayed neck pain after a crash isn't "just soreness." Here's what's really happening and what actual recovery looks like.

Physical therapy helped at first, but if your back pain keeps returning in the same spot, the real issue may be a lumbar disc that was never directly treated. This post explains why standard PT sometimes can't break that cycle and how targeted disc treatment at AMIT Clinics in Draper, UT can.

After an injury heals, the muscle tissue often doesn't get the message a protective nerve reflex called muscle inhibition keeps it from firing at full strength, leaving you weak, unstable, or "disconnected" long after the pain is gone. This post breaks down why that happens and how muscle reactivation treatment at AMIT Clinics restores the brain-to-muscle signal so strength training actually sticks.

Muscle bundle packages provide consistent, concentrated treatment for faster recovery while saving money and ensuring results.

Pain signals underlying problems. Ignoring it worsens issues. AMIT addresses root causes for full recovery.

Pain signals underlying issues. Addressing the root causes restores function, rather than just masking discomfort temporarily.

Pain isn’t inevitable with age. Restoring muscle function from past injuries improves mobility and quality of life.

Rest alone eases pain temporarily but doesn’t restore muscle function. Active recovery prevents recurring injuries.

Old injuries reduce muscle function, increasing risk of new problems. Restoring full function keeps you active.

Tendinitis and arthritis pain often persists from nerve and structural changes, and AMIT restores true function.
