Vitamin D is crucial for maintaining bone health, supporting the immune system, muscle function and overall well-being, especially during winter when sunlight exposure is limited.

Bone Health: Vitamin D is essential for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, which are vital for maintaining strong bones.

Immune Support: Adequate levels of vitamin D are linked to a stronger immune response, helping the body fight off infections. Some studies suggest that sufficient vitamin D may reduce the risk of respiratory infections and colds, which are more common in winter.

Muscle Function: Vitamin D plays a role in muscle strength, and low levels have been associated with muscle weakness and an increased risk of falls, particularly in older adults.

Overall Health: Beyond bone and muscle health, vitamin D is involved in regulating mood and may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

What is dry needling? Dry needling is a treatment technique used to address pain and movement issues associated with myofascial trigger points—tight, irritable areas in muscles that can cause pain and restrict movement. Very thin needles are inserted into or near these trigger points to stimulate the muscles, which can help relieve pain and improve range of motion. It can also speed up the recovery process. We would be happy to discuss if dry needling would be a good option you!

Chiropractic care plays an important role in supporting the health and performance of young athletes. With sports and training beginning at earlier ages, many kids experience muscle strain, joint stress, and minor spinal misalignments that can affect movement and balance. Regular chiropractic adjustments help improve flexibility, range of motion, and body mechanics, reducing the risk of injury while enhancing athletic performance. This allows young athletes to perform at their best and maintain long-term physical well-being.

Not all protein powders are created the same. Some have artificial additives and unhealthy fillers. Here are a few we would recommend that have clean ingredients and taste good!

Truvani Whey Protein Powder - 20 grams protein per serving (comes in several different flavors). There is also a pea protein blend for those who cannot tolerate dairy, although the whey protein tastes better.

Just Ingredients Whey Protein Powder - 24 grams protein per serving and comes in over 10 flavors, all of which taste great. It is sweetened with Stevia, so don't buy it if you have a sensitivity.

Taylor Duke Wellness Bone Broth Protein Powder - 20 grams protein per serving and is one of the cleanest protein powders you can find. Can make smoothies taste a little like bone broth. Great to add to soups and rice for added protein.

Ancient Nutrients Plant Based and Bone Broth Protein Powders - 8-20 grams protein depending upon the powder you choose. Lots of different options to choose from and most include collagen.

We have also heard great things about Paleo Valley protein powders but haven't tried them yet!

Chiropractic care can be a wonderful addition to your child's wellness routine, offering natural support for healthy growth and development. Gentle adjustments can help improve sleep, boost immunity, and support a balanced nervous system, allowing kids to thrive physically and mentally. Regular visits may also help prevent and relieve common issues like posture problems, digestive troubles, and behavioral stress. By starting early, children gain lifelong habits for proactive health—helping them stay active, happy, and resilient.
