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:
✅ Your brain receives correct information about head position
✅ Signals match between all three balance systems
✅ Brainstem function improves
✅ 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.

You get to choose how you show up for your health.

Every day, you're making decisions. Some may feel small and some feel overwhelming.
Healthcare isn't something that just happens TO you. It's something you get to actively choose.

When you choose nervous system care? You're choosing to address the ROOT of how your body functions, not just chase symptoms around.
Your nervous system controls everything—how you sleep, digest, regulate stress, fight off illness, and heal.

When there's interference in that system (what we call stress on the system), your body can't do what it was designed to do.

Chiropractic adjustments remove that interference. They restore communication between your brain and body. They give your nervous system the space to FUNCTION the way it's meant to.

This isn't about fixing one thing. It's about supporting your body's ability to heal, adapt, and thrive, from the inside out.

Choosing nervous system care is choosing:
✨ To trust your body's wisdom
✨ To prioritize function over just managing symptoms
✨ To show up for yourself in a way that actually supports long-term health

You deserve a healthcare approach that sees you as whole. One that honors your body's innate intelligence and empowers you to take control of your wellbeing.

That's what we're here for.

The health habit that actually works? Consistent chiropractic care. 🌿

We live in a quick-fix culture. Everyone wants the one thing that will solve everything - the magic supplement, the perfect diet, the 30-day transformation program.

But here's the reality: one-time fixes don't work. Your body didn't develop dysfunction overnight, and it won't heal overnight either.

Real, lasting health is built through consistency. Not perfection. Not intensity. Consistency.

Chiropractic care isn't a quick fix for when you're in pain. It's a lifestyle practice for maintaining optimal nervous system function - the foundation of everything else your body does.

Think about it like this: You don't brush your teeth once and expect them to stay clean forever. You don't work out once and expect to maintain strength. You don't eat one healthy meal and expect lasting energy.

Your nervous system is the same. It needs consistent support to function optimally - especially in a world that's constantly dysregulating it (stress, screens, poor posture, lack of movement, inflammatory food, sleep deprivation).

We see the difference in practice every single day. The patients who come consistently - even when they feel "fine" - maintain better health, handle stress more effectively, sleep better, recover faster from illness, rarely deal with acute pain, and have more energy and vitality long-term.

The patients who only come when something's wrong?

They're always putting out fires instead of building resilience.
Consistency beats perfection every single time.

You don't have to be perfect with your health habits.

But you do have to show up consistently for the things that matter - and your nervous system matters most.

Brain fog? It's not just you. It's your nervous system. 🧠

If you're walking into rooms and forgetting why, struggling to focus on simple tasks, feeling like you're thinking through mud, constantly losing your train of thought, or just feeling mentally "off" - that's not normal aging or just being busy.

That's brain fog. And it's a nervous system issue.

Mental clarity is a byproduct of nervous system health. When your nervous system is dysregulated, your brain doesn't get the clear signals it needs to function optimally.

Did you know that the first bone in your neck (C1) sits right where your brainstem is?
Your vagus nerve runs past it.

When C1 is imbalanced - from stress, poor posture, old injuries, or just life - it creates interference in the signals between your brain and body.

That interference shows up as brain fog, difficulty concentrating, memory issues, slow processing, and mental fatigue.

Chiropractic adjustments - especially to the upper cervical spine - remove that interference.

When your body is in a state of ease, vagal tone allows the body to function properly, blood flow to the brain improves, nerve signals transmit clearly, inflammation decreases, and your brain can actually do its job.

We see this all the time: people who've been living in a fog for months (or years) suddenly have clarity again after a few adjustments. Not because we "fixed their brain."

Because we removed the interference blocking their nervous system from supporting cognitive function.

You don't have to accept brain fog as your new normal.

New year, postpartum mama. Your body still deserves support. 🌿

Everyone's talking about fresh starts and new goals in January. But if you're postpartum - whether you're 6 weeks out or 6 years out - you might be feeling forgotten.

The world expects you to "bounce back."
To have it all together.
To be fine by now.

But here's the truth nobody's saying: postpartum doesn't have a timeline. Your body went through massive transformation - pregnancy, labor, birth, the immediate postpartum period, and now the ongoing reality of motherhood.
That's not something you just "recover from" in 6 weeks.
Your nervous system is still adjusting.
Your body is still healing.
Your hormones are still regulating.
And that "new year, new you" pressure?
It's not for postpartum mamas who are already doing the hardest work there is.

What you need isn't another goal or resolution.
It's support.

Chiropractic care supports your nervous system through the postpartum transition - whether that's 2 months or 2 years. We help with the physical recovery (balancing your pelvis and spine after pregnancy and birth, addressing "new mom posture" from constant holding and feeding, releasing tension that's making everything harder). And we support the emotional regulation piece (your nervous system controls your stress response, your ability to handle overwhelm, your mood stability).

When your nervous system is supported, everything gets a little easier.
Sleep improves (even with interrupted nights).
Physical pain decreases. Emotional resilience increases.

You feel more like yourself - not the "old you," but the grounded, capable version of you that exists right now.

You're not forgotten, mama.
We see you.
We see how hard you're working.
We see that your body still needs support - and that's not weakness, that's biology.

You deserve nervous system care that meets you where you are - in the beautiful, messy, exhausting reality of postpartum motherhood.

You're not behind.
You're not failing.
You're exactly where you need to be. And we're here to support you. 💚

Running on empty? Your nervous system might be stuck in overdrive. ⚡

If you're surviving on coffee, constantly exhausted despite "enough" sleep, crashing hard in the afternoons, or feeling like you have zero capacity for life - you don't have an energy problem. You have a nervous system problem.

Chronic fatigue isn't about needing more B vitamins or better time management. It's about a nervous system that's been running in overdrive for so long that it's completely depleted.

When you're stuck in chronic stress (sympathetic dominance), your body is constantly producing cortisol and adrenaline to keep you going.
Eventually, that system burns out.
You hit a wall.
And no amount of caffeine or "pushing through" will restore real, sustainable energy.

Here's what your nervous system needs to produce sustainable energy: Clear communication between your brain and body (so resources are allocated properly), the ability to shift between stress and rest (not stuck in one mode), proper sleep quality (when your body actually repairs and recharges), and reduced inflammation (chronic inflammation is exhausting).

Chiropractic care addresses all of this by removing spinal interference that blocks nerve signals, supporting your nervous system's ability to regulate stress and recovery, improving sleep quality so you actually recharge overnight, and reducing the physical tension that drains your energy reserves.

Real energy isn't about stimulants. It's about a nervous system that functions efficiently.

Want better sleep in 2026? Start with your nervous system. 😴

If you're lying awake at 2 am with a racing mind, struggling to fall asleep, or waking up exhausted no matter how many hours you get - that's not a sleep problem. That's a nervous system problem.

Your ability to sleep isn't about how dark your room is or what supplements you take (though those can help). It's about whether your nervous system can shift from sympathetic (fight-or-flight) to parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) mode.

When your nervous system is stuck in survival mode - which happens with chronic stress, spinal misalignments, and accumulated tension - your body literally can't access the deep, restorative sleep it needs.

Here's what actually happens: Your brain keeps scanning for threats.
Your muscles stay tense.
Your stress hormones remain elevated.
Your heart rate stays high.
And no amount of melatonin can override a dysregulated nervous system.

Chiropractic adjustments remove interference in your spine that's keeping your nervous system in high alert.

When those pathways are clear, your body can finally do what it's designed to do: shift into rest mode when it's time to sleep.

We see it constantly in practice - people who've struggled with sleep for years finally sleeping through the night after consistent adjustments. Not because we "fixed their sleep." Because we supported their nervous system so their body could regulate naturally.

Pair that with good sleep hygiene (cool room, dark space, consistent schedule, no screens before bed) and you have real rest - not just unconsciousness.

You can't avoid stress in 2026. But you CAN build resilience. 💪

Let's be real - no amount of meditation, boundary-setting, or "self-care Sundays" is going to eliminate stress from your life. Work deadlines, parenting challenges, financial pressure, relationship dynamics - they're not going anywhere.

So the question isn't "how do I avoid stress?" The question is "how do I build a nervous system that can handle it?"

Because resilience isn't a mindset. It's a nervous system function.

When your nervous system is regulated, stress looks different. The same situation that would've sent you spiraling last year feels manageable. You bounce back faster. You don't carry tension for days. Your body knows how to return to baseline after a stressful event.

That's resilience. And it's trainable.

Chiropractic care builds stress tolerance by removing interference in your nervous system, improving your vagal tone (your body's ability to calm down), and literally increasing your capacity to handle life's inevitable challenges.

Think of it like building muscle - except you're building nervous system resilience. The more consistently you support it, the stronger it gets.
You can't control what 2026 throws at you. But you can control how equipped your nervous system is to handle it.

Let's build your resilience this year. Link in bio to get started. 🔥

Not all health goals are created equal. Some your nervous system will support - others will sabotage. 🌿

Here's the truth about 2026 goal-setting: you can set any goal you want, but if your nervous system can't support it, you're setting yourself up for frustration.

The goals that actually work? The ones that support nervous system regulation.

5 Health Goals Your Nervous System Will Actually Support:
1. Better Sleep
When you prioritize sleep, your nervous system gets the rest and repair time it desperately needs. Quality sleep = better stress resilience, clearer thinking, improved mood, sustainable energy.

2. Consistent Movement
Not punishing workouts - movement that feels good. Walking, stretching, dancing, playing with your kids. Movement helps discharge stress and regulate your nervous system naturally.

3. Stress Management
This isn't "avoid all stress" (impossible). It's building tools to manage and recover from stress - breathwork, boundaries, nervous system resets, asking for help.

4. Nourishing Food
Not restrictive diets. Real food that supports your body's ability to regulate inflammation, blood sugar, and energy. Food as fuel, not punishment or reward.

5. Regular Chiropractic Care
Consistent nervous system support that removes interference, improves communication between brain and body, and gives you the foundation to actually achieve goals 1-4.

Notice what's NOT on this list? Extreme diets. Intense workout programs you'll hate. Expensive biohacks.
Unsustainable routines.

Because sustainable health isn't about doing MORE. It's about supporting your nervous system so your body can function the way it's designed to.

If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or your dentist keeps mentioning worn enamel—your body is crying out for help 🗣️

Jaw clenching and grinding isn't just a "stress habit." It's your body's protective response, trying to stabilize an unstable joint and keep your airway open, especially at night.

The problem with mouthguards:
They protect your teeth from damage, but they don't stop you from clenching. They don't address WHY your body feels the need to stabilize in the first place. Your nervous system is still in overdrive, your muscles are still firing all night, and the root cause remains unaddressed.

Our ancestors chewed bones, tough meat, gristle, nuts, and seeds—building strong jaws, developed facial structures, and powerful tongue muscles. Today's soft, processed foods require minimal chewing. Over generations, we've developed weaker jaws, underdeveloped facial structures, and tongues that lack the strength to rest properly. Add nutrient depletion, and you have widespread jaw instability.

Through gentle, specific adjustments to your neuro-spinal system—including the cranial bones and TMJ—we help:
✨ Support cranial stability so your body doesn't compensate with clenching
✨ Release tension in the TMJ and restore proper joint movement
✨ Address tongue tension and improve tongue posture for better airway support
✨ Calm your nervous system so your body feels safe enough to actually rest

When your body is at ease and your nervous system is clear and connected, you don't need to recruit those jaw muscles for protection anymore.
You can finally rest without being in defense mode.

Jaw clenching is your body asking for stability and regulation—not just a mouthguard.
Let's get to the root cause 💚

Every stressor, every unprocessed emotion, every trauma your body has experienced gets stored in your nervous system. And when those experiences aren't released, your body adapts by staying in survival mode—stuck in fight or flight, unable to shift into the rest, heal, and digest state where true healing happens.

Chronic stress doesn't just live in your mind—it lives in your nervous system.

When your nervous system is stuck in sympathetic overdrive, your body floods with stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. Your muscles tighten to protect you and your body compensates. Chronic stress patterns start to take shape and suddenly, your body is physically holding onto stress, trauma, and tension that your mind might not even remember.

The result? Your immune system weakens, leaving you vulnerable to illness, inflammation builds, digestion shuts down, sleep becomes impossible and your body forgets what safety even feels like—even when there's no actual danger present.

Suppressed emotions don't just disappear—they get stored as tension patterns in your body.

Your nervous system is designed to process stress and return to baseline. But when stress becomes chronic or trauma goes unhealed, your body gets STUCK. Deep-rooted nervous system dysregulation sets in, and suddenly "safety" feels foreign—even when you're not in danger.

Chiropractic care goes far beyond physical pain—it works on healing from the inside out.
At Anew Family Chiropractic, we don't just adjust your spine—we remove interference from your nervous system so your body can finally RELEASE what it's been holding onto. When we address subluxations through gentle, specific adjustments, we're not just relieving back pain or neck tension, we're giving your nervous system permission to let go of those stored stress patterns and shift out of survival mode.

We're restoring the communication pathway between your brain and body so that healing can happen naturally—the way it was always designed to.

True healing isn't about adding something to your body from the outside.
It's about removing the interference so your body's innate intelligence can do what it does best: adapt, regulate, and HEAL.
