🤱 It’s World Breastfeeding Week ✨
(August 1–7)

This global campaign celebrates, protects, and supports breastfeeding — while raising awareness of the benefits for both babies and parents.

This year’s theme, “Create Sustainable Support Systems,” reminds us how essential it is to provide consistent, informed, and supporting care — from pregnancy through postpartum and beyond.

At Hudson Integrative Healthcare, we’re proud to walk alongside parents at every stage of their journey. Our naturopathic doctors, chiropractors, osteopathic manual practitioners, and registered psychotherapists offer care that supports not only feeding but the whole-body and emotional healing that’s essential during pregnancy and postpartum. 💛

Whether you're breastfeeding, pumping, combination feeding, or navigating challenges — you're not alone. We're here to support you with compassion and from experience.

👀 Recognize this poster?
If you’ve ever had a chiropractic or osteopathic appointment in Treatment Room 2, this visual might look familiar!

This powerful chart maps out the spinal column and how each level connects to different parts of the nervous system — impacting everything from digestion and hormones to sleep, immunity, skin, and energy levels. 🌿💆‍♀️💡

Your spine does more than support your posture — it houses and protects your spinal cord, which is like the main highway for nerve communication between your brain and every organ, tissue, and cell.

When a vertebra isn’t moving properly (what we call a subluxation), it can irritate the nearby nerves and impact the flow of signals to other parts of the body — sometimes contributing to pain, inflammation, or even dysfunction in seemingly unrelated systems. 😮

That’s why gentle hands-on care like chiropractic and osteopathy can do more than relieve pain — it’s also about supporting your whole-body wellness from the inside out.

💫 Curious if your spine could be impacting your health?
Ask us at your next visit, or book in with one of our skilled manual practitioners to learn more!
