Neck pain and headaches are incredibly common—but when are they connected, what could be causing them, and can chiropractic care actually help?

In this episode of Talking With Docs, Dr. Brad Weening and Dr. Paul Zalzal are joined by Dr. Corinne Roughsedge, chiropractor at Beach Chiropractic & Wellness Centre, to discuss neck pain, headaches, posture, “tech neck,” chiropractic adjustments, mobility, and how chiropractors assess and treat patients experiencing these common symptoms.

Dr. Corinne Roughsedge holds a BA (Hon.) and Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree and practices at Beach Chiropractic & Wellness Centre in Wasaga Beach, Ontario. With nearly 30 years of experience, she explains how neck pain and headaches can sometimes be connected, what chiropractors look for during an assessment, and the different treatment approaches that may be used depending on the patient.

The conversation explores common causes of neck pain and headaches, including poor posture, prolonged computer and phone use, stress, sleeping awkwardly, and reduced mobility. Dr. Roughsedge also explains the difference between certain types of headaches, including cervicogenic headaches and tension-type headaches, and why identifying the source of the pain matters.

The doctors also discuss what actually happens during a chiropractic neck adjustment, why the familiar “cracking” sound occurs, alternative adjustment techniques for patients who do not want their neck manually manipulated, and the role of soft tissue therapy and mobilization.

Importantly, the conversation also addresses concerns around neck adjustments and stroke, including vertebral artery dissection, warning signs chiropractors look for, and why taking a detailed medical history and performing a proper examination are essential before treatment.

You’ll learn:
• Why neck pain and headaches often occur together
• Common causes of neck pain and headaches
• What “tech neck” is
• How posture and prolonged screen time may affect your neck
• What cervicogenic headaches are
• What tension-type headaches can feel like

$Recent Study Shows This Rather than Calcium May Be Most Important For Bone 📩 Contact us: talkingwithdocs@gmail.com Are you getting enough protein to keep your bones strong? When most people think about bone health, they think about calcium and vitamin D. Both are important, but there is another major piece that often gets overlooked: protein. In this episode of Talking With Docs, the doctors explain why protein plays an important role in building and maintaining healthy bones, how it works alongside calcium and vitamin D, and why simply taking more calcium may not provide extra benefit once you are already getting enough. Bone is living tissue that is constantly being broken down and rebuilt. Protein, primarily in the form of Type I collagen, provides the framework that calcium, phosphate, and other minerals are deposited onto to give bone its strength. The doctors also discuss a 2026 observational study published in Osteoporosis International involving more than 580 older women. The study looked at calcium and protein intake alongside osteoporosis treatment and highlighted the importance of adequate nutrition when trying to maintain or build bone. You’ll learn: • Why calcium is essential for bone health • Why more calcium is not always better • Why getting calcium from food is preferred when possible • Why vitamin D matters for healthy bones • Why protein is often overlooked in discussions about osteoporosis • How Type I collagen helps form the structure of bone • Why calcium and minerals need a protein framework • The protein RDA of approximately 0.8 g/kg/day • Why older adults may struggle to get enough protein • How inadequate protein may limit the body’s ability to build bone • How protein intake may affect the response to osteoporosis medication • Why muscle strength also supports bone health • How resistance training and weight-bearing exercise help strengthen bones • Why calcium, vitamin D, protein, and exercise all work together • How stronger bones can help reduce fracture risk and maintain independence The key takeaway is that bone health is not about one nutrient alone. Calcium + Vitamin D + Protein + Exercise = A stronger foundation for healthy bones Adequate calcium remains important, but consuming more than your body needs does not necessarily mean stronger bones. Protein also deserves attention, especially as we age and maintaining muscle mass, strength, mobility, and bone health becomes increasingly important. Ultimately, protecting your bones is about reducing fracture risk and helping you stay active, mobile, and independent throughout life. 🎧 Listen on Your Favourite Platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3OFxEji...
