The Doctors' Corner

What Sports Chiropractic Really Means 2/23/26 Dr. Armen’s Corner When people hear “sports chiropractic,” they often think it’s only for competitive athletes. It’s not. Sports chiropractic is really about Chiropractic PLUS more. It focuses on injury treatment with time tested techniques such Active Release Technique or modern tech such as shockwave but also on prevention…

Dr. Galindo’s Corner: Flexibility vs. Mobility 2/17/26 Let’s clear something up: flexibility and mobility are not the same thing. Flexibility is the extent to which a muscle can be stretched, usually passively. Think of holding a hamstring stretch or pulling your heel to your glute. Mobility is different. Mobility is your body’s ability to actively…

A common misconception about chiropractic care? 2/16/26 One of the most common misconceptions about chiropractic care is that we only treat the spine. In reality, sports chiropractic addresses the entire movement system. At Active Spinal & Sports Care, Inc., we evaluate how your neck, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles all work together because pain rarely…

What condition does shockwave help with the most? 2/9/26 Dr. Armen’s Corner Shockwave therapy is one of my favorite tools for chronic pain because it addresses the real problem, stalled healing.

Why the New Food Pyramid Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All 1/18/26 There’s been a lot of buzz around the “new” food pyramid, and honestly, there’s a lot to like. I appreciate that it finally flips the old model on its head. Emphasizing real, whole foods, quality protein, healthy fats, and fiber-rich plants, while eliminating ultra-processed foods, refined sugar,…

Why I practice the way I do 1/12/26 I started my career working with athletes and quickly learned that pain and performance are rarely about one thing. I treated fighters, triathletes, tennis players and more from weekend warriors to professional athletes at the highest level. Over the years, I’ve studied and applied a wide range…

Dr. Armen’s Corner: Why Pain Isn’t as Simple as It Seems 1/5/26 One of the most important things I’ve learned in practice is that pain is rarely just about one thing. It is rarely one joint that is stuck or a “knot” that needs to be worked out. When someone comes in hurting, where they…
