As you prepare for the kids to head back to school, it can be a lot to juggle!

This season can bring joy and excitement... but it can also light up your stress response like a check engine light on your first car.

Breathwork is one of my favourite tools to help calm the chaos. In the video, I mention slow, deep breaths in AND out of your nose.

Another version you can do (with your children too) is Box Breathing (aka a nervous system reset you can do in the carpool lane)

Try this:
🟦 Inhale for 4 seconds
🟦 Hold for 4
🟦 Exhale for 4
🟦 Hold for 4
Repeat x4 — it’s simple, science-backed, and seriously grounding.

🎒 Why it works:
This kind of breathwork activates your parasympathetic nervous system—the “rest and digest” side of things—so your brain stops yelling go-go-go and starts whispering I’ve got this.

If you’re noticing tension, overwhelm, or constant overstimulation, your nervous system might just be asking for more support. (And yes, chiropractic can help too.)

✨ This season isn’t just for the kids. Let’s take care of you, too.

Most of what we deal with—stress, pain, fatigue—starts below the surface.
That’s why, at this practice, I don’t guess. 🧠 I assess.

With detailed X-rays, thermal scans, and a deep dive into your nervous system, we’re able to see what’s really going on—not just what hurts today but what’s been building silently over time.

This approach is what allows me to create care that’s:
✔️ Precise
✔️ Personalized
✔️ Proven to get results

Just ask Linda.

“Best decision I ever made to give it a try… I had lost use of my left shoulder & was in so much pain it was hard to muster a smile. I've been going two months now & so much progress has been made, even with a pre-existing back injury. I had an emotional release after the second session. I felt more energetic after the third, overall I feel so much better than I had. So thankful for Dr.Gelber & all the help he's giving me in improving my health.”

🎯 That’s not a lucky break. That’s the power of a nervous system-based approach—guided by science, refined by experience, and grounded in a deep belief in the body’s ability to heal.

💡 Chiropractic isn’t just about bones. It’s about restoring balance at the source so your body can do what it was designed to do: thrive.

It’s not all in your head and it’s not just your body either.

You’re living in a world that demands more than your nervous system can handle.

More noise. More screens. More pressure to go go go.
➕That lingering fatigue?
➕The brain fog that won’t lift?
➕The digestion that’s “suddenly off”?
➕That’s your nervous system waving a white flag. 🚩

We’re seeing more people show up in our office feeling like they’ve “tried everything”... but no one ever asked how their spine and nervous system were adapting to the load. Or if they could at all.

You deserve care that gets to the root—so your body isn’t stuck in survival mode all the time. So you can finally exhale, sleep, digest, and feel again.

You can drink the green smoothies.
Stretch every day.
Take all the right supplements.

But if your nervous system (your master control system) is stuck in fight-or-flight?
Those efforts may never land the way they should. 😓
Subluxations (those subtle shifts that interfere with nerve flow) aren’t just about back pain.

They disrupt communication between your brain and body.
And when your brain can’t hear your body clearly, or your body can’t respond, healing gets delayed, distorted, or completely derailed.

That’s why so many people say, “I was doing everything right, but I still wasn’t getting better.”

This is your reminder: your nervous system isn’t optional. It’s foundational.
Let’s stop overlooking it. Let’s start with it.

Ever notice how a single thought can change your whole body? 😮‍💨
A deadline hits. A conflict brews. A “what if” spirals.

Suddenly your shoulders are at your ears, your breath is shallow, and your gut feels like it’s doing gymnastics.

That’s not imaginary. That’s your nervous system.
Thoughts fire through your brain, down your spine, and out into every organ and muscle.

Stress isn’t just a feeling—it’s a full-body event. And when that stress lingers, it literally changes your physiology.
💭 Thoughts affect posture
💭 Thoughts affect digestion
💭 Thoughts affect healing

If your nervous system is stuck in survival mode, your body can’t shift gears into rest, repair, and resilience.

That’s where chiropractic care comes in—restoring balance, ease, and the capacity to regulate again.

On the heels of Canada’s birthday, we’re reminded that freedom isn’t just about summer barbecues and long weekends off.

It’s when your body isn’t running the show—when you're not saying no to a hike, a concert, or a cuddle with your kid because of lingering tension or energy crashes. 💥

Freedom is having margin. In your health. In your nervous system. In how you respond when life throws curveballs (because it always does). As the anthem says, we want to see “the true North strong and free!”

That kind of freedom doesn’t come from a new supplement or stretching once a week. It comes from supporting your nervous system consistently—so your body adapts, your mind clears, and you show up fully.

✨ You don’t have to wait for symptoms to spiral before taking action.
✨ You don’t have to “push through” one more season.

Are your earlobes sitting over your shoulder bones right now? If you stand, are your hips under your shoulders, and above your knees?

If you feel restricted when you try to stand like this, let’s talk! It’s more than just good posture - it’s about your neurology and the feedback between your brain and body.

I want you to be able to sit and stand as you were designed to with ease, so your body can function well and you can feel AMAZING!

Yes, carrying everything on one side will affect you! Try evening things out, using both straps of a backpack or carrying things in the middle. Or start making two trips to carry everything (bonus, you’ll get more steps in!)

Comment if you usually carry things on one side (left or right?!)

If you’re in your 20s and starting to notice a “Dowager’s Hump,” we need to talk. If you’re in your 30s and 40s, starting to notice the effects of spending long hours sitting, we need to talk.

Posture is SO much more than aesthetics. It’s neurology. A hunched or kyphotic posture isn’t reserved for grandparents!

Resetting posture once there are a lot of degenerative changes can be difficult, so start early with a thorough evaluation.

There comes a tipping point (often around your 60s or so) where it isn’t as much about posture correction as it is protecting against further loss.

With a clear nervous system, you may find your racing mind quiets and is able to focus.

You may find that you sleep deeply and you wake up refreshed.

Or it could be that your vagus nerve is able to better carry signals ot the gut, and your digestive issues clear up.

Your mom may notice that your posture has improved without your trying.

Or you could feel a general state of ease that makes it easier to do other healthy habits like exercise.

I honestly don’t know 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 how it will feel for 𝘆𝗼𝘂. What I 𝗱𝗼 know is that I can identify where there is dysfunction and work with you to correct it.

Children experience the world through sensation first and foremost 🧠. They haven't yet learned to ignore their body's signals the way many adults have. When something helps them feel better—more comfortable, more balanced, more themselves—they often naturally gravitate toward it.

While there might be those classic toddler moments of resistance (because, well, toddlers!), it's fascinating how many kids actually look forward to their adjustments.

What signals have you noticed your child giving about their body's needs? I'd love to hear how your little ones respond to care!
