Children are fearfully and wonderfully made, created with an innate design that knows how to function and adapt. 🙏🏼

From the moment a baby enters the world, stress begins to layer in. Birth stress, environmental toxins, antibiotics, and everyday chemical exposure can interfere with how clearly the brain and body communicate in a very imperfect world. 🌎

The goal is not perfection. The goal is restoring our children to their birthright of health and wholeness. Chiropractic focuses on removing interference in the nervous system so a child can adapt more easily and express their full potential as they grow.

That support honors the design they were born with. 💫

We see it every day in our office, and it is always affirming when research reflects what families are experiencing.

A 2018 study published in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine followed children under chiropractic care and found improvements in overall quality of life. Parents and children reported less pain, less fatigue, reduced anxiety, fewer depressive symptoms, and stronger physical and emotional well-being.

When the brain and body communicate clearly, the body adapts, regulates, and thrives. That clarity starts with connection.

Supporting your child’s nervous system early builds a foundation that carries into every stage of life.

Just because something has always been done one way does not mean it is the only way.

More parents are choosing chiropractic for their kids because they want the nervous system working clearly from the very beginning. When the spine moves well, the brain and body communicate the way they were designed to, encouraging proper development!

Chiropractic does not add anything to a child’s body. It removes interference, including subluxations, that can disrupt how the brain and body stay connected.

That connection matters for:
📏growth
😴better sleep
☮️calmer behavior
💪🏼stronger immune response

The care is gentle, specific, and rooted in how the body was created to function.

Pregnancy asks a lot of your body and nervous system!

When the spine and nervous system are clear, the body can respond with more ease, confidence, and resilience.

Prenatal chiropractic care does not force the body or override its signals. We work with innate intelligence and honor the design already at work!

Health in pregnancy is not about fixing what is broken or treating an illness. We restore connection and support moms to trust the experience to their body’s innate intelligence.
Share this so more moms can have a beautiful pregnancy and childbirth experience.

It’s an honor to care for the men and women who show up for our community every single day.

First responders live in a constant state of stress: physical impact, chemical exposure, and mental load all stack up. 😩 And that stress does not shut off when the shift ends. Their nervous system carries it home, where other pressures are added.

When the spine moves well, the nervous system communicates clearly.

That improves:
- Adaptability
- Focus
- Resilience

A well-functioning nervous system enables them to respond effectively in high-pressure moments that matter most. 💪🏼

I don’t know anyone who has ever said, “I don’t want improved heart health.”

The best part about this study is that your body already knows what to do, it just needs support! You have the power, chiropractic care is the tool that turns it back on.

You were created to heal and with the right care you can live a life filled with hope and thriving!

As a chiropractor, it isn’t my call who I should serve. It’s my job to look at the nervous system through the lens of the spine and to support the conversation between the brain and body.

This is true regardless of age, insurance or who referred you! My job is the same.
Interference is interference. Clarity is clarity.

What most parents mean is that there are no obvious symptoms!

We have been taught that the absence of symptoms equals health. But it isn’t true.

Yes, chiropractic often helps babies with colic, torticollis, chronic constipation, failure to thrive, trouble latching, and more. But why wait for problems to start?

Symptoms mean adaptation has already failed. You wouldn’t have your children wait for cavities before brushing their teeth!

The nervous system should not be the only system we ignore until it breaks. When we check a baby or child, it isn’t about finding something wrong. It’s about making sure the connection between the brain and body is clear.

Proactive care only feels unnecessary when health is viewed as reactive by default. 🙂

2/22/2013 - 13 years ago today I graduated chiropractic college.

We had no idea what God would build from that step.

Three kids later.
Three homes later.
Over 100 chickens, horses, cows, ducks and turkeys later.
More than 100,000 adjustments later.

Thousands of people. Thousands of families.

Not just “out of pain.”
More connected.
More regulated.
More present.
Living with greater clarity and function the way the body was designed to.

When we started, we knew chiropractic mattered, but we had no idea it would be this amazing.

Today we’ve watched it shape births, give life, regulate nervous systems, strengthen marriages, support athletes, steady anxious kids, help parents breathe deeper, and give families a different compass for their health.

The nervous system forms first and directs everything that follows.
Protect the signal, and life organizes better.

We’re beyond grateful for:
Every adjustment.
Every family who trusted us.
Every conversation that shifted someone from fear to understanding.

13 years in…Stronger faith, family, and mission.

We are honored to serve you and your family.

Our Story

Two biology majors met one rainy fall morning in Rindge, New Hampshire in Physics class. Emily Schultz, now commonly known as Dr. Emily, had dreams of being a Chiropractor since 12 years old. She had been a competitive volleyball player, and now was still playing at a collegiate level. At 12 she had suffered from sciatica and migraine headaches, and her Chiropractor had helped her with these immensely.

Josh Young had aspirations to become a medical doctor. His father is a medical doctor, and his father’s father was a medical doctor, as well as two uncles, a grandmother, an aunt, and a mother as a nurse midwife. That all changed when he met Emily, and ended up on graduation from undergrad going to Palmer College of Chiropractic with Emily.

Josh and Emily were paired as lab partners that rainy fall morning. Flash forward to 2014: husband and wife, Dr. Josh and Dr. Emily opened a Chiropractic clinic in the beautiful Crystal Lake community. They opened the clinic with a desire and purpose to help others and to provide hope and answers to those in need. The mission statement of Crystal Lake Family Wellness is to adjust, educate, and empower as many as possible, to reveal, express, and support their vitality from within: A chiropractic lifestyle.

Why:

· We want to instill hope from the moment you walk in our door.

· We believe in addressing the root cause.

· We believe in trusting the human body and having faith in its healing capacities.

· We believe our health is our most valuable asset, that cannot be measured by feel, appearance, or symptoms, but rather function of the body. This must be assessed in a number of ways, including, if possible, x-ray. X-rays reveal where there is stress and alignment changes in the spine.

o Our very own Dr. Emily still suffered with migraine headaches until a different specialized approach was taken. We learned first-hand by watching her health transform as her spine changed. Her before and after x-rays taught us this and to this day she has not had a migraine headache since that change has occurred. This showed us that this specialty can often be a solution when many other approaches may have failed, as was the case with us. Because of our experience, this is how we practice, not just to help with headaches, but with health and quality of life for all. Our body must have a clear channel through the spine because that is where the communication must occur between our brain and body.

How:

· The nervous system is what the body depends on to communicate and coordinate all functions together; the conductor in the symphony that is called health.

· The spine is the gateway to the nervous system, and that is precisely why we focus our efforts on locating exactly which area or areas are under stress.

· When we restore specific motion to joints that are designed to move, the body’s nervous system is able to communicate freely. It clears the static from damage and stress, and the body expresses vitality and heals.
