Spending hours in the car with bad posture causes back pain, neck stiffness, and fatigue. Time to optimize your driving ergonomics!

Quick Setup Tips:

Seat Height: See clearly without craning your neck.

Pedals: Slide forward until your knee has a slight bend when pressing the brake.

Backrest: Recline slightly (100-110° angle) to maintain your spine's natural curve. Use lumbar support!

Steering Wheel: Wrists should rest on the top of the wheel with bent elbows—no slouching.

Headrest Safety: The top should align with the top of your head. Crucially, the back of your head should be no more than 1-2 inches from the headrest for proper whiplash protection and support.

Optimize your setup before your next drive. Your back and neck will thank you!

Is your spine a wobbly Jenga tower? Often, instability starts at the very top, with your Atlas (C1) vertebra!

Imagine your spine as a Jenga tower. The Atlas (C1) is the crucial top block supporting your head. If this block is even slightly misaligned (a Vertebral Subluxation), it forces the rest of your spine to compensate, creating instability, pain, and poor posture down the entire tower.

NUCCA care focuses on precisely correcting this foundational C1 misalignment. Using light-force adjustments guided by objective measurements, we restore the Atlas to its proper position. This allows your entire spine to naturally re-stabilize from the top down, relieving compensatory stress and promoting whole-body healing.

Don't just brace the tower; fix the foundation! If you have chronic instability or pain, a NUCCA evaluation might reveal the root cause.

Be a Seeker: Seek joy, seek knowledge, seek stillness.

Be a Builder: Focus on building habits, building relationships, and building confidence.

Be a Believer: Believe in your ability to adapt, grow, and overcome every challenge that arises.

Your past is simply preparation. Your present is the moment you have control over. Let's make 2026 the year you stop waiting for things to happen and start making things happen.

Dr. Lee is taking a well-deserved break from January 8th through the 17th to visit friends and update an old Lee family portrait! A lot has changed since the original was taken—my brother and I have both gotten married, and he's now got two wonderful kids! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Time for an update!

We missed family Christmas this year, but it's not the date that's important; it's the quality time spent with friends and family. Enjoying life and taking care of family is just as important as taking care of your spine!

Patients: Please call the office this week if you need to schedule an adjustment before the 8th or after the 17th!

Enjoy the time off!

Your chiropractor focuses on spinal alignment because it's the foundation of your entire movement system. But what about the crucial structures holding your joints together—your ligaments? Here’s why addressing inflammation is key to maximizing chiropractic care and ensuring long-term ligament stability:

The Inflammation-Instability Cycle:

🦴Inflammation Weakens: Chronic inflammation (often driven by diet or stress) can degrade the collagen in your ligaments, making them less resilient and "stretchy" than they should be.

🦴Weakness Creates Stress: When ligaments are weak, your joints, including those in the spine, lose crucial stability.

🦴Chiropractic Connection: If a joint is unstable due to weak ligaments, it's more prone to shifting or going out of optimal alignment, requiring more frequent adjustments.

✨ How Chiropractic Helps: By ensuring your spine and extremities are correctly aligned, chiropractic care reduces unnecessary mechanical stress on your ligaments and surrounding tissues. This allows the body’s natural healing processes to focus on reducing inflammation and rebuilding stronger, more resilient collagen fibers. Better alignment➡️Less stress ➡️ Reduced inflammation ➡️ Stronger, more stable ligaments!

🚀 Countdown to Clarity: Crafting Your Best Health Year
The end of the year is here, and the promise of January 1st is right around the corner! Before the pressure to achieve the 'perfect' body or diet sets in, let's recalibrate.

This year, your New Year's Health Resolution shouldn't be about sudden, extreme change. Your health journey shouldn't be a sprint; it should be a lifestyle.

This is your prep week. Focus on setting small, sustainable intentions:

The Power of 10 Minutes: Commit to 10 minutes of movement or mindfulness a day. It’s too small to fail and sets the stage for growth.

Hydrate for Success: Resolve to start every morning in the New Year with a large glass of water. Simple, yet powerful for energy and focus.

The Non-Negotiable Rest: Decide on a realistic bedtime and protect it fiercely. Rest is where health is built.

Don't wait for the stroke of midnight to start planning. Use these next few days to get mentally and emotionally ready. Your health journey in 2026 starts NOW!

🧘‍♀️ Movement: Your Nervous System's Best Friend
Our modern lives often keep us in a constant state of low-level stress, triggering our sympathetic nervous system (the "fight or flight" mode). Over time, this chronic stress can lead to burnout, anxiety, and sleep issues.

✨ Actionable Tip: Next time you feel stressed, try a few minutes of mindful bouncing, deep belly breathing combined with movement, or slow, deliberate stretching.

The Solution? Intentional Movement!

Movement doesn't have to mean intense workouts. It's about consciously engaging your body to send powerful signals to your brain:

Activates the Vagus Nerve: Gentle, rhythmic movement (like walking or yoga) stimulates the vagus nerve, which is key to activating your parasympathetic nervous system (the "rest and digest" mode).

Releases Tension: Moving helps release physical tension that is often stored as emotional stress and trauma in the body.

Boosts Neurotransmitters: Exercise increases feel-good chemicals like endorphins and serotonin, which stabilize your mood and improve resilience.

The holiday season often feels like a sprint: a rush of shopping, planning, and fulfilling endless expectations. But what if we made this year different?

This year, give yourself the greatest gift of all: Permission to be truly present.

Instead of chasing the "perfect" holiday, focus on the meaningful moments:

Look Up: Notice the sparkle of the lights.

Slow Down: Savor the taste of a favorite treat.

Listen Closely: Really hear the laughter of those you love.

The magic of the season isn't found in a perfectly wrapped gift or an immaculate table setting—it's found in the simple, shared warmth of connection.

Take a deep breath. You are exactly where you need to be. Let joy be your highest priority.

What is one simple moment of holiday magic you are looking forward to? Share below! 👇

Dysautonomia Support: Have you considered the neck? 🤔

Your upper neck (C1-C2) is right next to the brainstem—the command center for your Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). Specialized Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care (UCC) gently corrects spinal alignment to potentially reduce nervous system interference.

It's a natural approach to support better regulation. Ask us how UCC can be part of your wellness plan!
