Your frozen shoulder isn't actually a shoulder problem. 🫶
I know that might sound surprising — but hear me out.
Frozen shoulder (also called adhesive capsulitis) is often a sign that your nervous system is stuck in a prolonged stress response. When the body stays in "fight or flight," it restricts movement, tightens tissues, and creates inflammation — and the shoulder is one of the first places it shows up.
That's why so many people do months of PT, get cortisone shots, and still feel stuck. They're treating the symptom, not the source.
Neurologically-focused chiropractic care works differently. We look at what's happening in your spine and nervous system — because when that heals, the shoulder often follows.
If you or someone you love has been dealing with a frozen shoulder that just won't budge, drop a 🙋‍♀️ in the comments or share this with them. There's more hope than you think.

That first step out of bed in the morning shouldn’t feel like walking on glass. 🌿
If you’ve been dealing with heel pain, you’ve probably been told to stretch more, wear better shoes, or just wait it out. And while those things can help, they’re not always getting to the root of what’s happening.
Plantar fasciitis is often connected to tension and nerve interference that starts further up — in your hips, pelvis, or low back. When the foundation isn’t aligned, the whole structure compensates. And your feet end up paying the price.
Chiropractic care works by addressing the whole chain — not just where it hurts. When your nervous system can communicate clearly and your body is moving the way it’s designed to, healing becomes possible in ways you might not have expected.
Your body isn’t broken. It’s asking for support. 💛

Mamas, we see you.

Up every hour. Walking the halls at 3am. Holding your screaming baby upright for hours because laying them down means pain. Watching them arch their back, spit up constantly, refuse to eat, and cry inconsolably.

You've tried everything:
-Reflux medication that barely helps
-Four different formulas
-Elevated bassinet sleeping
-Smaller, more frequent feeds
-Cutting out dairy, soy, and everything from your diet

And nothing is working.

Your baby's reflux isn't just a stomach problem, it's a stressed out nervous system.

The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) controls the valve between your baby's esophagus and stomach. It tells that valve when to open, when to close, and how to coordinate digestion with breathing and swallowing.

When there's a subluxation (misalignment) at C1 or C2—which is incredibly common from birth trauma, even in "easy" births—it creates interference in vagus nerve function.

That interference means:
❌ The stomach valve doesn't close properly
❌ Digestion is disrupted
❌ Their body stays in fight-or-flight mode
❌ They can't calm down or relax enough to keep food down

Your baby isn't broken. Their medication dose doesn't need adjusting. They don't need a new formula.
They need their nervous system checked by a pediatric chiropractor.

Gentle chiropractic adjustments (pressure so light you could check a tomato for ripeness) remove the subluxation at C1/C2.

When we restore proper vagus nerve function, babies' bodies can:
âś… Close the stomach valve appropriately
âś… Digest food properly
âś… Shift out of stress mode
âś… Actually relax and sleep

We've seen countless "reflux babies" experience complete relief within 1-3 adjustments. Not because we treated reflux, but because we removed the nervous system interference preventing their body from functioning properly.

The screaming stops. The spitting up decreases. They can finally lay flat and sleep. You get to stop walking the halls at 3am.
Medication masks symptoms while chiropractic addresses the root cause.

Mama, you've been doing everything right. You just needed someone to look at the whole system—not just the stomach.

We see you. We've got you. And we can help your baby.

Your tension headaches. Your tight shoulders. Your lower back that just won't quit. đź’›
What if your body has been trying to tell you something?
Emotional stress doesn't just live in your mind — it lives in your muscles, your gut, your jaw, your spine. When your nervous system is overwhelmed, your body literally braces itself. And over time, that protection becomes pain.
This isn't about pushing harder or managing better. It's about helping your nervous system feel safe enough to finally let go.
That's exactly what we focus on here at Abundant Health — not just your symptoms, but the root. The whole you.

"Dear Nervous System,
You've carried me through every hard conversation, sleepless night, heartbreak, and overwhelming day. You've kept my heart beating, my lungs breathing, my body healing, even when I didn't give you the support you deserved.

This year, I want to say thank you and I want to show you some love."

Here are 5 ways to care for your nervous system this month (and every month):
1. Get Adjusted Regularly
Remove the interference. Restore clear communication between your brain and body. Give yourself the foundation for optimal function.

2. Prioritize Deep Sleep
Your nervous system repairs and resets during sleep. 7-9 hours isn't indulgent, it's essential for hormone regulation, mood stability, and healing.

3. Practice Breathwork
Deep, intentional breathing activates your vagus nerve and shifts you out of fight-or-flight mode. Try 4-7-8 breathing: inhale for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Instant reset.

4. Move Your Body Gently
Walking, stretching, yoga—gentle movement signals SAFETY to your nervous system. You don't need intense workouts. You need joyful, consistent movement.

5. Connect with Safe People
Your nervous system co-regulates with others. Hugs, laughter, deep conversations, these tell your brain you're safe. You're wired for connection. Let yourself receive it.

Your nervous system is your lifeline. It controls everything: how you sleep, heal, digest, handle stress, and show up in the world.

This Valentine's Day, instead of just celebrating romantic love, let's celebrate the incredible system that makes it all possible.

Give your nervous system the care it's been begging for.

You’re not just sharing a home, a bed, a routine, or a calendar.
You’re sharing a nervous system.

When you walk in the door stressed from work, their body feels it. When their anxiety spikes, your cortisol rises. When one of you can’t sleep, neither can the other. When tension lives in your shoulders, it shows up in their gut.

Your energy doesn’t just affect you—it becomes theirs. And theirs becomes yours.
This is nervous system co-regulation. And it’s especially critical when you’re trying to build a family together.

BETTER PARTNERSHIP
When one partner is stuck in fight-or-flight, the other mirrors the stress or tries to compensate. You can’t regulate alone in a shared nervous system.

BETTER SELF
When your partner’s nervous system is regulated, yours can finally rest.

For HER: When her nervous system shifts out of survival mode, her body can ovulate regularly, maintain healthy progesterone, create an optimal environment for conception, carry pregnancy with ease, and recover postpartum.

For HIM: When his nervous system is supported, his body can produce healthy testosterone, improve s***m quality, regulate stress hormones, sleep deeply, and show up emotionally regulated.

You can’t thrive individually when your shared nervous system is maxed out.

BETTER PARENTHOOD
Your baby inherits your nervous system patterns—not just DNA. In utero, they’re shaped by both parents’ stress levels. After birth, they co-regulate with you constantly.
When both partners get adjusted, fertility struggles often resolve, pregnancies feel smoother, recovery is faster, and baby’s nervous system starts regulated.

Not because we “treated” anything. Because we supported the shared nervous system that controls everything.

Our partner’s stress becomes yours.
Their tension becomes yours.
Their healing becomes yours. This isn’t codependency—it’s biology.

When you both get adjusted, you create a shared environment where both nervous systems can downregulate, communicate clearly, and do what they’re designed to do—adapt, heal, and create life together.

Better partnership.
Better self.
Better parenthood.
It starts with two nervous systems getting the support they both deserve.

"When should I get my baby checked?"

As soon as possible.

Your baby's first year is the most neurologically active time of their entire life. Their brain is forming 1 million neural connections PER SECOND. Their nervous system is learning how to regulate everything: digestion, sleep, immune response, movement, emotional regulation.

But birth (even the "easy" ones) is incredibly physical. The pressure, pulling, twisting, and compression that happens during delivery can create tension and imbalances in your baby's delicate spine, especially in the upper neck.

This interference can show up as:
-Colic and excessive crying
-Difficulty latching or nursing on one side
-Torticollis (head tilting/preference)
-Reflux and digestive issues
-Sleep struggles
-Developmental delays in rolling, crawling, sitting

When we check babies (as early as hours or days old), we're not "fixing" them. We're removing any interference in their nervous system so their body can develop, heal, and grow the way it's meant to.

Gentle, specific adjustments support:
✨ Proper brain-body communication
✨ Optimal digestion and sleep
✨ Immune system development
✨ Motor skill progression
✨ Emotional regulation

The earlier you support your baby's nervous system, the stronger their foundation for lifelong health.

Your baby's nervous system is their lifeline. Make sure it's functioning at 100% from day one.

The room won't stop spinning. You feel like you're on a boat.

Simple tasks like standing up makes you nauseous or turning your head triggers episodes that last hours or days.
You've been told it's BPPV (crystals in your inner ear), Meniere's disease, or vestibular migraines.
You've done the Epley maneuver a hundred times. Sometimes it helps temporarily, but often it doesn't. And it just keeps coming back.

It's not your ear that is causing the vertigo- It's your NECK.
Your brain uses three systems to know where you are in space:

1. Vestibular system (inner ear) - detects head movement
2. Visual system (eyes) - sees your position relative to surroundings
3. Proprioceptive system (spine and joints) - feels your body's position

When these three systems send matching signals, your brain knows exactly where you are. When the signals don't match, your brain gets confused—and that confusion is vertigo.

Your upper neck (cervical spine) sends MORE proprioceptive signals to your brain than any other area of your body. These signals tell your brain where your head is positioned at all times.

When C1 or C2 is subluxated (imbalanced), your brain receives WRONG information about where your head is. The proprioceptive signals don't match what your inner ear and eyes are reporting, and your brain panics. This causes the room to spin.

Upper cervical subluxations also affect your brainstem—where all balance information is processed. This disrupts vestibular nucleus function, communication between balance centers, blood flow to the inner ear, and vagus nerve regulation (which is why you feel nauseous).

Your balance system can't integrate information properly, even if your inner ear is structurally fine.

Upper cervical adjustments by a trained chiropractor restore accurate proprioceptive input from your neck to your brain. After an upper neck adjustment:
âś… Your brain receives correct information about head position
âś… Signals match between all three balance systems
âś… Brainstem function improves
âś… Vertigo resolves

If Epley maneuvers aren't working, if medications barely help, if it keeps coming back—your inner ear might not be the problem. Your upper cervical spine is.

Your period isn't "just supposed to be painful." Your energy isn't meant to crash at 2pm every day. And your hormones aren't out to get you.
What if the issue isn't your hormones—but the system that's supposed to regulate them?
Your nervous system runs the show. And when it's stuck in fight-or-flight mode (hello, chronic stress), your body can't prioritize hormone balance. It's too busy trying to survive.
Chiropractic care helps your nervous system downshift from stress mode into rest-and-repair mode. That's where real healing happens. That's where balance is restored.
If you've been chasing hormone health through every supplement and lifestyle change but still feel off—it might be time to look upstream.

Our Story

With a focus on core chiropractic philosophy fused with crucial lifestyle shifts, Abundant Health Chiropractic helps patients gain the energy and whole-body alignment they are yearning for to overcome the sense of overwhelm caused by the complexity of everyday life.

Dr. Amy Horn grew up in a chiropractic household. Her grandfather practiced in South St. Louis for 33 years, so the chiropractic “way of life” was implemented early on. It has become her particular passion to treat patients as a whole, the physical, mental and chemical aspects of their health. While most people associate Chiropractic care with pain, it is in particular the functioning of the Nervous System that is Dr. Horn’s main focus.

At AHC, the focus is on providing clients with top-notch care. For us, that means that we will align your body like other chiropractic offices, but we aim to go above and beyond just the physical aspects of alignment, with a focus on the mind/body connection. Our goal is to transcend traditional perceptions of “chiropractic care,” to show you how it is beneficial to your overall health!

It’s more than just pain management. To us, “abundant health” means full 360° alignment between the physical, emotional and mental.
