When You Feel Tight:

💆‍♀️ You pay for massages.
🤸‍♂️ You pay for Pilates.
🧘‍♀️ Some even pay just to get stretched!

They’re all brilliant for your body…
BUT have you ever asked why you keep feeling tight in the first place?

👉 Your. Nervous. System.

If your nervous system is firing the wrong signals, your muscles have to tighten.
So you stretch them… they tighten again.
You massage them… they tighten again.

Round and round you go.

Here’s the chiropractic truth 👇

✨ When you get adjusted, you help reset the way your nervous system communicates.

✨ Better signals = less tension.

✨ Less tension = a body that finally relaxes and functions the way it’s meant to.

Want your massage, Pilates, and stretching to actually work better?
Start with the system that controls it all.

Your nervous system runs the show — chiropractic just helps it run smoothly. ⚡️💛

What if your pain wasn’t just physical, but a pattern your brain learned?

Your brain can learn unhelpful patterns especially after injury such as tension, guarding, and even symptoms based on the belief that “I won’t get better.”

The good news, your brain can also be retrained.

With the right input, movement, and alignment, your nervous system can shift out of protection mode and back into healing.

At our clinic, we see this every day:
When the spine is aligned, our nervous system works clearly, the brain receives better information, and real change begins.

✨ Change your spine, change your brain, change your life.

Not All “Clicks & Cracks” Are the Same 👀✨

Ever felt the difference between being moved… and being corrected?

That’s the difference between a random crack and a Chiropractic adjustment.

We don’t chase noise. We don’t guess. We assess → find the real problem → deliver a precise adjustment to help your body function better. Because your spine = your body’s motorway 🚦If there's a traffic jam in the nervous system, the brain-to-body messages can’t get through.

When that happens, you might notice:
⚡ Tight muscles
😮‍💨 Stress that never switches off
🥴 Things just feeling “off”

A Chiropractic adjustment doesn’t just “move a bone” it helps reboot your nervous system so your body can get back to healing the way it's designed to. 💪🧠

We’re not here to fix you. We’re here to help your body remember how to heal.

The Truths About Stretching:

✅ It feels good because it increases blood flow and signals temporary relaxation.

❌ But if your nervous system is firing in “protective mode” due to stress, poor posture, injury, or misalignment, your muscles are tight on purpose. They’re guarding something.

That tension is a reaction, not the root cause.

When you stretch a muscle that’s being told to stay tight by the brain, it often springs right back. Or worse, your body tightens even more to protect the area.

Chiropractic care doesn’t just ease tension, it helps find the why behind it.

When your brain and body communicate efficiently, your nervous system calms and your muscles don’t feel the need to stay so tight.

A connected body is a calmer, happier body.

That’s when stretching starts to work with your body, not against it.

Want your flexibility gains to last?
Start by resetting your nervous system, not just pulling on the tension.

Let your body move, feel, and function the way it’s meant to with Chiropractic care. 🧠💥 Come in to see Laura: https://www.mernchiropractic.com/

Over the years we have met so many people who come to MERN feeling defeated - frustrated by symptoms that won’t go away and told things like “you’ll just have to live with it” or “it’s all in your head.”

Here is what you need to know:
Your journey to healing is entirely your own, no two paths look the same. Some days will bring noticeable changes, others will feel quieter, but every step matters. Trust that your nervous system is always working behind the scenes to bring your body back into harmony.

We are not here to promise overnight change.
We are here to help your body reconnect with what it’s naturally designed to do: heal.

Did you know pain can continue even when the body has healed?

That is because pain is not only about tissues, it is also about how your brain and body communicate.

When that connection gets out of sync, your brain can misread signals and treat normal movement as a threat. This is why back pain, fibromyalgia, or old injuries can linger, and why even imagining movement can sometimes feel uncomfortable.

The good news is that chiropractic care can help restore that brain–body link. Through adjustments, movement, and tailored exercises, we work to retrain your system so you can move better, feel stronger, and get back to enjoying life again 🙌

Meet Dr. Laura Nuttall - Chiropractor

If you have ever been treated by Laura, you’ll know she’s not one for the spotlight (she will hate this 😆). She’s professionally shy, all about getting the job done, and never one to shout about her achievements.

🎓 Laura trained at the University of South Wales, completing years of rigorous, medical-level training in everything from neurology and biomechanics to diagnostics and spinal rehabilitation.

🌍 Her passion for helping others has taken her far beyond the clinic. She has worked with global experts across Canada and the US, and even shadowed an orthopaedic surgeon in Africa, supporting people who wouldn’t normally have access to hospital care.

🏌️‍♂️ Closer to home, Laura’s been mentored by the Head of the European PGA in golf biomechanics, helping both amateur and professional golfers improve performance and reduce injury risk.

🧠 Her deep knowledge of the nervous system, movement, and holistic health is why so many people turn to Laura, not just for pain relief, but for real, long-term change.

We have people travel across the country just to be treated by her.Whether she’s helping someone move pain-free again, or getting an athlete back on course, she does it with quiet focus, care, and serious skill.

If you have ever wondered who's behind the hands helping you move, feel, and function better — now you know. ⚓ You're in very good hands.

🎓 Did You Know? Many people completely underestimate how much education a chiropractor actually goes through.

Before they even lay a hand on your spine, chiropractors complete 4–5 years of intensive university training, on par with medical doctors during their time at University. Yes, that’s right. Chiropractors don't just 'treat backs with a crack', they are highly trained healthcare professionals with a deep understanding of how the body functions.

📚 Subjects chiropractors study include:
• Anatomy & Physiology
• Neurology
• Pathology
• Pharmacology
• Microbiology
• Biomechanics
• Orthopaedics
• Diagnostic Imaging (like X-rays & MRIs)
• Nutrition
• Rehabilitation
• Clinical Diagnosis
• Chiropractic Technique

By the time they graduate, chiropractors have hundreds of hours of hands-on clinical training and in-depth knowledge of the human nervous system, joints, muscles, and more.

🌀 Think it’s sciatica? Think again.

That pain shooting down your leg? It’s often labelled as sciatica, but it’s not always that simple.
Sometimes, it starts higher up…
👉 Pressure at your lower back (just before the sciatic nerve forms)
👉 Or irritation of the piriformis muscle, which can pinch the sciatic nerve as it passes underneath.

It’s easy to throw the word sciatica around — but at Mern Chiropractic, we dig deeper to find the true root cause.

How Chiropractic Supports Your Nervous System

Your spine does more than help you stand tall, it protects your nervous system, which is how your brain communicates with your body. When areas of the spine are restricted (often from stress, long hours sitting, or just everyday life), it can interrupt that communication. You might start to feel tense, foggy, anxious, or just not like yourself.

Chiropractic care gently improves how your spine moves, which helps your nervous system work more clearly and efficiently. That allows your body to shift out of “stress mode” and into a state where it can relax, recharge, and heal.
