Maybe three. Each one looked at the same body, the same pain, the same history — and gave you a completely different answer. One said it was your SI joint. One said it was a disc. One said your hips were uneven. One cracked your back, told you to come back three times a week, and never really explained anything. So which one was right? And why does this keep happening? It's a question we hear constantly — and it deserves a real answer. First, the Honest Truth...]]></description><link>https://www.hybridspineandsport.com/post/why-do-different-chiropractors-give-me-different-diagnoses</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a076bd10b9e4f37fd257250</guid><pubDate>Fri, 15 May 2026 18:55:36 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a9c50d_8030072c84df4911a0033786af5ea070~mv2.webp/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Peter Alexander</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rotation: The Missing Piece in Your Training Program]]></title><description><![CDATA[Every athlete and active person has a gap in their training. Usually more than one. CrossFitters rarely move laterally. Jiu jitsu athletes almost never train extension. Runners don't load their feet properly. Lifters skip single leg work. The list goes on. But there's one missing piece that shows up across almost every sport, every training style, and every type of active person we work with: Rotational movement.

It's one of the most repeated pieces of squat coaching in the fitness world. It's also one of the most common reasons we see people walk into our clinic with knee and hip pain. Let's talk about what's actually happening — and what to do instead. The Squat Isn't Just a Gym Exercise Before we get into form, it's worth stepping back.

Nothing changes. Here's why: they probably aren't tight because they're short. Stretching a muscle that isn't actually short doesn't make it feel better — it makes it worse. And yet this is the default advice almost everyone gets, which is why almost everyone stays stuck. There are two real reasons your hamstrings feel chronically tight.

It doesn't matter how active you are or how well you take care of yourself — it happens. And when it does, most people do exactly the wrong thing: they rest, they ice it, and they wait.

That was exactly the case with one of our most memorable patients. She was in her mid-40s. She'd had shingles — and then three more bouts after that.

There’s a reason for this, and it could possibly save your life one day. When we get hot, our body has a built in A/C system… sweat. We take hot blood away from vital organs to the skin and let out water (sweat). Letting off this hot water helps cool us down as we dissipate heat.
