Have you ever heard the terms Torticollis or Plagiocephaly and were like ??? Um, what does that even mean?! 😵‍💫

Torticollis + plagiocephaly usually show up as baby always looking one way, having a head tilt, struggling with tummy time, feeding on one side better than the other, or developing a flat spot on one side of their head. 👶🏻

Torticollis is basically tension and imbalance in the neck, muscles, and fascia that makes it hard for baby to comfortably turn both directions. This can happen from how they were positioned in utero, birth stress, a long labor, or just extra tension through the upper neck and nervous system.

Plagiocephaly is the flat spot that can happen when baby keeps laying or resting on that same side over and over because it feels easier for them.

We, as pediatric chiropractors, don’t just look at the flat spot, we look at WHY it’s happening. Through gentle adjustments, cranial work, palate support, and nervous system-focused care, we help baby release tension, move better, feed better, and feel more comfortable in their body. Which in turn supports them as they continue to grow and develop!

So if you are reading this and have a little one that you’re noticing is starting to develop a flat spot, or favoring looking to one side more than the other, come on in so we can help relieve the tension and calm their nervous system! 😌

Pregnancy brings big changes, and your round ligaments feel it!! 💥

Round ligaments are supportive bands that help hold your uterus in place as baby grows. As your belly expands and your body shifts, these ligaments can become tight, irritated, and create that sharp pulling pain many moms feel in the lower belly, hips, or groin. 😣 Especially when standing up, rolling over, walking, or changing positions.

This is what we call “round ligament pain,” and while it’s common, it doesn’t mean you just have to push through it!

By checking and gently releasing tension in the round ligament area, we help reduce stress on the pelvis, improve balance in the body, and create more comfort for both mama and baby! Less pulling, less tension, and more ease through pregnancy 💛
Sounds wonderful, right?! 😉

If this sounds like the pain that has been happening throughout your pregnancy, give us a call and we’ll get you in to support you through this journey! 🤍

One of the most underrated things you can do to regulate your nervous system is BEING OUTSIDE! Fresh air, sunshine, bare feet in the grass! It’s truly amazing how quickly the nervous system shifts when we reconnect with nature. 🌿

Small choices add up… for our planet and for our health.

Less toxins - More sunshine - More movement - Fresh foods - More nervous system support - Fresh air - Cleaner choices for our homes and our kids!

Earth day is a great reminder that wellness starts with what we surround ourselves with! It is beautiful outside today friends! So this is your reminder to spend some time soaking up the sunshine and connecting with the Earth beneath our feet!!

👇🏼Tell us in the comments what you did today to get your bodies outside and enjoying Earth Day! 🌎

* and if you saw me running on the trail today, tell everyone I was super fast 😉😂

6 reasons to consider a chiropractic check for your baby 👶✨

1. Stressful birth happens
Long labor, C-sections, or assisted delivery can put stress on your baby’s tiny body and nervous system.

2. Pregnancy positioning matters
Being cramped, breech, or in one position for a while can create tension that carries into life after birth.

3. Trouble with latching
Tension in the neck or jaw can make feeding harder than it needs to be.

4. Always looking one way?
A head-turning preference can signal tightness or imbalance that may affect development.

5. Digestive discomfort
Gas, reflux, or fussiness can sometimes be linked to how the nervous system is communicating with the digestive system.

6. Support their nervous system early
A well-functioning spine helps the nervous system do its job—supporting growth, movement, and funciton.

Gentle, specific care can help your baby feel and function their best.

Birth is not just a physical event… it’s a nervous system event and a relational one. ❤️

One of the many reasons families choose prenatal chiropractic care are because gentle adjustments can help:
- reduce nervous system stress
- support pelvic balance
- improve communication between brain and body
- create more ease for when baby comes

We help your body regulate so it can do what it was designed to do! A calm nervous system = a more adaptable birth.

Parents—we see how much you pour into your kids’ health, schedules, and well-being every single day. The way you show up for them matters so much. And at the same time, here’s a gentle reminder: you deserve care, too.

Not just when there’s extra time. Not just when things slow down. You matter in the middle of it all, too.

Here are a few things you deserve as a parent:

• You deserve a nervous system that feels supported, not constantly overwhelmed.
A body that can shift out of stress mode and into a place where you feel more grounded, steady, and at ease.

• You deserve to have more patience with your kids.
Not because you’re doing anything wrong—but because it’s easier to respond with calm when your body feels cared for.

• You deserve to feel good in your body.
To move through your day with less tension, less discomfort, and more ease—so you can be present for the moments that matter.

• You deserve energy that supports your day.
Not just pushing through—but feeling like your body can actually keep up with everything you’re holding.

• You deserve care, too.
You give so much of yourself. Taking care of your body is one small way to give something back to yourself.

You don’t have to keep pushing yourself to the back burner. 🤍
