  Your hips are an important part in maintaining almost everything you do on a daily basis.You need them to walk, support your weight, stand up, sit down, and maintain your balance. Your hip joint connects your thigh bone to your pelvis, which also connects to numerous muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Unfortunately, hip pain is one of the most common pains you can develop and may be caused by overuse, injury, bursitis, tendinitis, inflammation, or sciatica. Untreated hip pain can lead to several problems. These can include: difficulty with daily activities, potential for serious injury due to falling, balance and mobility issues, difficulty sleeping, and overall instability. Chronic hip pain can lead to arthritis, pain pills, injections and even surgery.   A Chiropractor in Macomb Township offers Hip Pain Relief Treatments that are a healthy alternative to a traditional medical medial approach. Dr. Chris McNeil, Macomb Township Chiropractic Chiropractor says, "there's a natural way to help with your hip pain." Instead of going for a “temporary fix” with pain medications or steroid injections, Dr. Chris says he will “find the source of your pain and eliminate it.” Since the spine connects virtually every muscle, tissue, and organ in your body with trillions of nerves, finding misalignment's in your spine and correcting them with Chiropractic Rehab will relieve pinched nerves and hip pain and pressure.     Macomb Township Chiropractic offers state of the art treatments for hip pain which include more than manual adjustments. Dr. Chris utilizes a disc-decompression table, postural rehabilitation (which combines traditional chiropractic and physical therapy), muscle and nerve gun stimulation, and more.   One patient, who found relief for hip pain at Macomb Township Chiropractic, is in a YouTube short telling his story.  Damion came into the office with severe hip pain. He told Dr. Chris the pain was “sharp” and “constant”, except when he was lying in bed. Damion said his whole life was being impacted by the pain, and was looking for help his regular doctors couldn't provide. After finding many misalignment's in Damion's spine, Dr. Chris created a care plan for him, which included regular adjustments with stretching and rolling, nerve and muscle gun therapy, and postural rehabilitation therapy. Within three months, Damion's x-rays showed improvement, and he stated he was “totally better.”   Dr. Chris and his staff welcome anyone in Macomb County suffering from hip pain to come into the office to see if they can help. They are offering a $29 new patient special, which includes a consultation, Chiropractic x-rays, massage bed session, and a test treatment. You can schedule an appointment on the Macomb Twp Chiropractic website, call them at 586-566-2273 or watch out for their ad on Facebook and Instagram.

At this point in his administration he's the most unpopular President this century. The only other president whose job approval has been this low after 100 days – Donald Trump in his first term. His 44% net approval is 10-to-20 points below the favorability ratings of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama … and Joe Biden. There's a lot more in the politi-sphere this week: Another major candidate has joined Michigan Democrats' contest for U.S. Senate; There's a new justice on the Michigan Supreme Court, giving Democrats a 6-1 majority on the officially non-partisan bench; State Republicans have been forced into an awkward 180-degree shift on a controversial proposal for Chinese-owned industrial development in west Michigan; And southeast Michigan braces for an upcoming visit from America's best known convicted criminal – Donald Trump choosing Macomb County to take a bow for what he sees as a hugely successful first 100 days.

Is this a replay of the movements that brought Civil Rights laws in the 1960's, the end of the VietNam war in the 1970s, and the birth of the GOP rightward leap via the Tea Party in the 2009 and the women's movement of the 2010s? Governor Whitmer has reinforced talk of a 2028 presidential run with a high-profile speech in Washington this week … paired with a one-on-one meeting with Donald Trump. Was she measuring the curtains in the Oval Office? Penguins are breathing a sigh of relief as Trump blinks on his one-man demolition of the economy. But the slingshot economic tactics are a political threat to the reelection campaigns of Republicans nationwide and in Michigan - with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee now targeting 3 Republican-held districts in our state. One of those Trump-backing Republicans, Congressman John James, says he's running for Governor, meaning his 10th district congressional seat is a definite flip opportunity for Democrats. We'll be joined by the latest Democratic candidate for that job, Macomb County assistance prosecuting attorney Christina Hines. Trump is weaponizing the once respected DOJ by ordering criminal investigations into two critics in the private sector: Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor. Online rumors fueled by Indivisible warn Trump may invoke the Insurrection Act to shut down protest rallies across the nation Mallory McMorrow's media rollout for her Senate campaign goes national: multiple MSNBC appearance plus "The Daily Show" Larry Sabato's initial House election projections show Democrats with a slight advantage, with 5 Michigan congressional districts in play One of the most-watched congressional races in the nation next year will be centered in Macomb County and Michigan's 10th district. With John James running for Governor, the swing district is a definite coin toss. Democrats will have a competition in the primary. Last month we talked with Alex Hawkins, the first announced candidate. Joining the race in the last week: Christina Hines. A graduate of the University of Michigan and Wayne State Law School, Hines ran for Macomb County Prosecutor in 2024 against sitting prosecutor Peter Lucido, with Lucido receiving 57% of the vote while Hines held 43%. Prior to that, she served as an assistant prosecuting attorney in Wayne County before heading up the Special Victims Unit in Washtenaw County.  This episode is sponsored in part by =========================== EPIC ▪ MRA, a full service survey research firm with expertise in • Public Opinion Surveys • Market Research Studies • Live Telephone Surveys • On-Line and Automated Surveys • Focus Group Research • Bond Proposals - Millage Campaigns • Political Campaigns & Consulting • Ballot Proposals - Issue Advocacy Research • Community - Media Relations • Issue - Image Management • Database Development & List Management =========================== ===========================

She is an ardent supporter of policies protecting reproductive rights, empowering local communities, and making Michigan a business- and family-friendly state. McMorrow is the Senate Majority Whip, serving her second term in the Michigan Senate. Prior to her election to the Senate she worked for more than a decade in product design, media and advertising with companies like Mazda, Mattel, Gawker Media, Hearst and other global brands. McMorrow hit the ground running during her first term in the Michigan Senate, winning policy changes such as ending Michigan's tampon tax, helping struggling businesses during the coronavirus pandemic, and protecting certain individuals (including domestic violence survivors) by creating an address confidentiality program. She earned her bachelor's degree in industrial design from the University of Notre Dame and resides in Royal Oak with her husband, Ray, their daughter, Noa, and their rescue dog, Detroit. At 38, she is the youngest person on the list of potential Senate candidates in either party.
