Summer doesn’t have to mean letting go of your health goals. A few intentional choices can help you feel better while still enjoying the season.

Here are some of our favorite summer swaps:
✔️ Mineral-based sunscreen with clean ingredients
✔️ Homemade popsicles made with real fruit
✔️ Natural bug spray with essential oils
✔️ Infused water or mocktails instead of sugary drinks

These small changes can make a big difference and if your body could use a mid-season reset, we’re here to help.

Message us to schedule your next visit.

Did you know that reports of back pain among men increase from 13% in 19 to 28 year olds to 47% in 49 to 50 year olds?

Dads, if you’re ready to lift your kids or grandkids without worrying about your back going out, this is your sign!

Bend at the knees. Lift with your legs. Do not bend at the waist.

Avoid twisting.

Engage your core.

Maintain a healthy weight to decrease your risk of back pain.

Get adjusted regularly to help decrease pain or reduce your risk as well.

Send this to a dad who needs a reminder to take care of themselves too this Father’s Day!

Functional medicine: What you need to know!

Unlike conventional care that focuses on managing symptoms, functional medicine asks why those symptoms are happening in the first place.
It looks at how your body is functioning as a whole, from your gut and hormones to your immune system.

At ACT For Wellness, we use lab testing, clinical history, and lifestyle insight to build a care plan that is specific to you.

If your labs are always normal but you still do not feel like yourself, this may be the approach you have been looking for.

Call or message us to schedule.

June is National Migraine and Headache Awareness Month.

If you suffer from chronic headaches or migraines you know how disruptive they can be in your life. Here are a few things to consider when uncovering the underlying cause of headaches and migraines:

-Tension: Poor posture, jaw clenching and stress.
-Inflammation or imbalances: Vitamin or mineral deficiencies, inflammation in the body and hormone imbalances.
-Lifestyle: Diet, movement, stress, sleep, hydration and more.

We love combining multiple therapies available at ACT For Wellness to help you address the cause of chronic headaches. We take a full-body approach at ACT For Wellness — combining chiropractic, acupuncture, and functional medicine to uncover what’s really going on.

You don’t have to live with constant pain. Send us a message if you’re ready for answers.

Just because poor sleep feels like the norm to you, doesn’t mean it’s something you can’t correct. Tossing and turning, waking up tired, or struggling to fall asleep are signs your body needs more than just a blanket or extra pillow.

Acupuncture is a natural, effective solution for better sleep. By stimulating specific points on your body, acupuncture helps to reset your sleep cycle, so you can finally experience the deep, restful sleep you deserve.

If you’re tired of feeling exhausted and looking for a natural way to improve your sleep, send us a message today. And feel free to share this with anyone who could use a better night’s rest!

Reflexology is a targeted technique that uses pressure points to promote whole-body balance and enhance the benefits of massage therapy. It’s calming, restorative, and often feels like a full-body reset.

Many of our clients have found that reflexology helps them with stress, sleep issues, digestion, and even headaches.

Ready to feel the difference from your head to your toes? Book your reflexology session today by calling us at 815-893-9297.

Some surprising statistics as we head into Women’s Health Week:

Women are 50% more likely than men to report experiencing neck pain and headaches.

1 in 3 women will experience a musculoskeletal condition, such as chronic back pain, arthritis, or joint dysfunction, by age 50.

Over 70% of women report that stress negatively impacts their physical health—including back and neck pain, headaches, and fatigue.

Only 1 in 5 moms say they prioritize their own health regularly.

If you aren’t feeling like yourself but you have been told it’s normal. That it’s “just stress” or “part of being a woman.” But deep down, you know something’s off.

You deserve care that doesn’t dismiss you. You deserve time, answers, and a plan that helps you feel like you again.

This week is your reminder — your health matters. If you’re looking for a women’s health provider that will listen to your concerns and help you regain your health and wellness, ACT For Wellness if for you.

We are so thankful to the women who choose us for functional medicine, women’s health care, supplement support, acupuncture, massage therapy, counseling, chiropractic care and more. Thank you for letting us be a part of your health journey!

When May as a parent is just as busy as December but without the twinkle lights or Christmas magic…

End of school season for many parents means graduations, teacher gifts, summer camp prep, and more! While summertime can be fun and exciting it can also bring on a lot of stress, especially for parents working outside the home.

We love chiropractic care for parents. It helps alleviate tension, calms your nervous system, helps provide more mobility and flexibility in your body for all those summer activities you have planned.

Send us a message if you’re interested in starting chiropractic care at ACT For Wellness before the busy summer season starts!
