Movement is truly medicine for our bodies! 💪

These three benefits show why staying active is so crucial for our health. At Phillips Chiropractic, we understand that when your spine and nervous system are properly taken care of through chiropractic care, your body’s natural ability to move freely is enhanced.

Caring for your nervous system means you can experience ALL these amazing benefits of movement more fully such as:
- Stronger muscles
- Better circulation
AND
- Clearer thinking!

Consistent adjustments can help help create optimal movement, allowing your body to heal naturally and perform at its best.

Chiropractic is so much more than back pain, its a tool to help you feel and function at your absolute best in all areas!

The vagus nerve, our body’s longest cranial nerve, acts as a communication system connecting the brain to vital organs and plays a crucial role in our natural healing abilities.

This cranial nerve controls essential functions like heart rate, digestion, and inflammation response while serving as the master regulator of our parasympathetic nervous system - the “rest and digest” mode that allows healing to occur.

When properly stimulated, the vagus nerve activates our immune system, reduces inflammation, and creates the optimal internal environment for self-healing.

Research shows that higher vagus nerve activity correlates with improved heart rate variability (HRV), which scientists use as a biomarker for overall health and resilience.

OPTIONAL ADD IN IF YOU DO INSIGHT SCANS: This is why in our office, we use Heart Rate Variability as one way to not only create a customized care plan for you to achieve your health goals, but track your progress along the way!

Chiropractic care offers a natural, non-invasive approach to stimulating the vagus nerve and enhancing our innate healing potential. Through intentional chiropractic adjustments, particularly in the upper cervical region where the vagus nerve is closely positioned, each adjustment can directly influence vagal activity. These adjustments not only correct work with restoring balance and ease withIN the body, but also trigger the release of beneficial neurochemicals that reduce inflammation and promote healing.

Staying consistent with chiropractic care helps patients experience improved digestion, reduced anxiety, stronger immune response, and accelerated healing - all through the body’s own self-regulatory mechanisms.

Many people accept chronic headaches as just part of life, but that pounding pain is actually your nervous system’s distress signal.

The upper cervical (neck) region houses critical nerve pathways that directly impact brain function, influencing everything from blood vessel dilation to pain perception.

When subluxations occur in this region, they act like a kinked garden hose – restricting proper nerve flow and disrupting your brain’s ability to regulate blood flow, muscle tension, and pain perception throughout your body.

Specific chiropractic adjustments don’t just mask headache symptoms – they address the root neurological cause by restoring proper nervous system function.

When the vertebrae in your upper neck move properly and nerve communication is clear, your body can finally re-establish its natural self-regulating ability. This is why many patients report not just headache relief, but improvements in sleep, energy, and overall wellbeing after their nervous system function is restored.

Your body wasn’t designed to live with chronic headaches – it was designed for a clear, uninterrupted connection between brain and body.

“But I only come in when something hurts...” 🤔

If you’ve ever said this, you’re definitely not alone. Most people think of chiropractic care like a bandaid - something you use when there’s already a problem.

But here’s the thing your nervous system wants you to know: by the time you feel pain, the dysfunction has been building for much longer than you realize.

Your nervous system is constantly adapting, compensating, and working behind the scenes to keep you functional. It’s incredibly good at its job - sometimes too good. It will find ways to work around problems until it simply can’t anymore. That’s when you finally feel the pain or symptoms show up.

Understanding the science behind how your nervous system heals and adapts changes everything about how you approach your care. It’s not about quick fixes or waiting for crisis mode - it’s about supporting your body’s natural ability to function optimally.

Swipe through to learn why your nervous system needs regular support to create lasting change, not just temporary relief.

POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) affects the autonomic nervous system, causing your heart rate to spike by 30+ beats per minute when you stand up. This can leave you feeling dizzy, fatigued, and struggling with brain fog, nausea, and rapid heartbeat.

While POTS can be challenging to manage, nervous system-focused chiropractic care offers a natural approach that works with your body’s own healing mechanisms.

Chiropractic care focuses on optimizing neuro-spinal balance—especially in the upper cervical region —to improve nerve signal transmission and support autonomic nervous system function.

By addressing imbalances within the body, chiropractic care can help reduce stress on your nervous system, improve blood flow, and promote better balance between your sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) systems.

If you’re dealing with POTS symptoms, then gentle, specialized chiropractic care could be your answer for naturally managing and regulating symptoms that can be associated with POTS.💙

Your nervous system is the master controller of every function in your body - when it’s compromised, everything suffers. Like the foundation of a house, small shifts can create massive problems over time.

Proactive chiropractic care doesn’t just wait for the walls to crack; it ensures the foundation remains solid at all times through regular chiropractic adjustments. The reality is simple: you will invest in your health eventually - either through ongoing maintenance that enhances vitality and prevents disease, or through costly interventions after damage has occurred.

The nervous system doesn’t express pain until function has already decreased - why wait until your body is screaming for help when you can nurture it to thrive today?

Optimizing your nervous system isn’t just about avoiding pain—it’s about allowing your body’s innate capacity for healing, performance, and longevity

Your body possesses an incredible innate intelligence designed to heal from within.

When your body is properly in a state of ease, neural interference is removed, allowing your innate healing intelligence to flow freely throughout your body. This naturally reduces inflammation and restores balance without drugs or invasive procedures.

Each adjustment creates the optimal environment for healing by activating specialized nerve receptors in your spine that calm pain signals while stimulating your vagus nerve—the body’s relaxation pathway.

This creates a measurable shift in your nervous system, moving you from “fight-or-flight” into “rest-and-digest” mode where healing happens naturally.

Chiropractic care influences your brain’s communication with your body by balancing key brain chemicals like serotonin and GABA while reducing inflammation molecules at a cellular level.

This restores the critical communication network between your brain and body, allowing your natural self-healing mechanisms to work efficiently again without drugs or surgery.

Struggling with eczema that just won’t quit, no matter how many creams or elimination diets you try? 🧴❌

There’s an underlying reason why: Your skin conditions might actually be signaling a deeper nervous system issue! 🧠→🧬

Most people don’t realize that every aspect of skin function—from inflammation responses to healing ability—is directly controlled by your nervous system. When spinal misalignments or imbalances interfere with these critical nerve signals, your skin can’t function properly.

That’s why so many of our practice members see dramatic improvements in their eczema after beginning chiropractic care. By correcting these misalignments, we’re addressing a root cause that most conventional treatments completely overlook.

Swipe through to see how chiropractic can improve skin health by optimizing nervous system function, detoxification pathways, and how to achieve real, long lasting results with chiropractic care.

Tired of just managing symptoms? We take a different approach by supporting your body’s natural healing abilities through nervous system optimization.

Struggling to stay focused?

Before reaching for that third cup of coffee or downloading another productivity app, consider this: your inability to focus might be a NERVOUS SYSTEM issue, not a willpower problem! ⚡🧠

Your brain receives over 20 million nerve impulses per second—but when spinal misalignments interfere with this communication, your focus suffers. It’s like trying to stream a movie with a poor internet connection!

That’s why our practice members often report dramatically improved concentration after just a few adjustments. By staying consistent with chiropractic care, you are “re-wiring” your brain to function at its optimal level. Regular adjustments strengthen neural pathways, enhance communication between brain and body, and create lasting improvements in your ability to filter distractions and maintain focus.

When the spine is properly aligned and free from interference, your nervous system can efficiently process information, allocate mental resources appropriately, and maintain the delicate balance needed for sustained attention.

This is why many practice members notice not just temporary focus improvements, but lasting cognitive benefits that enhance productivity, creativity, and mental clarity in all areas of life.

About Dr.Shelby

Hi y’all my name is Dr. Shelby Phillips. I am a local chiropractor in Georgetown, Texas. I was born and raised in Georgetown, Texas. My family has been in Georgetown since the 1800s, so this town means a lot to my family and me. I attended Georgetown High School, I graduated in 2011. I continued my education at Texas State University (Eat em’ up cats), where I got my degree in exercise sports science. In 2015, I began my chiropractic journey at Parker University. During my clinical time at Parker, I had the privilege of working at the Veteran’s Hospital in Dallas. Which was by far one of the biggest blessings of my life, I learned so much about caring for our Veterans. After graduating from Parker, it was my dream to bring what I loved doing, back home to the people and community I love the most. I specialize in prenatal and pediatric care, but I treat all ages and have experience treating many different cases. I use many techniques which include: Prone specific, Diversified, Thompson, Activator, Webster, Upper Cervical, Gonstead.
