How Did I Get Out of Alignment, Doc?https://clearviewchiropractic.net/how-did-i-get-out-of-alignment-doc/
Dr. Erica & I hear this question often—and here’s the answer…Traumas, Toxins, and Thoughts. Chiropractic was officially established as a healing profession on September 18, 1895, so we’re coming up on the 130th anniversary! It’s been said for the length of that time that the root of all dysfunction in the body, including the cause of SUBLUXATION (misalignment) is either:
1) The occurrence of a trauma; think of physical stressors to our bodies: slips, falls, bad posture, car accidents, one-sided sports, or even sleeping wrong if you’re over 40 IYKYK ;) Also things like deconditioning, where your muscles are too weak is a real trauma to the body. There can be scar tissue from old injuries or former surgeries that is causing your body to compensate, too.
2) The presence of something toxic; think of chemical stressors to our bodies: the standard American diet, processed foods, foods devoid of nutrients, eating animals that are not Biblically clean (Leviticus 11), environmental toxins, drinking water treated with or using fluoride-containing toothpaste, chem trails (seriously, it’s worth looking into it), mold exposure and parasites.
3) The way you think; so we need to think about what we’re thinking about: remaining for any length of time in a state of stress, worry, fear, doubt, unresolved anger, disappointment, resentment, unforgiveness—and understanding that a thought that goes through your mind has a very, very real effect on your physical body. You can literally put yourself in fight or flight by a negative thought you choose to think over and over again. There is truly the battlefield of the mind that is worth winning, and it’s possible to overcome all of these
The take-home message for today is that Traumas, Toxins and Thoughts can ALL potentially affect your alignment—and…your digestion, your mental health, your energy level, your sleep, your strength, your longevity and the abundance of life in those years. Every bit of hard work you do to DEAL with traumas, toxins and thoughts in a healthy, life-giving way is worth the fight.

Morning Light and Your Thyroid Function https://clearviewchiropractic.net/morning-light-and-your-thyroid-function/
If you have any concerns about your Thyroid, here’s one simple way you can help your body begin to regulate: Get sunlight in your eyes shortly after waking up! The following is adapted from an article by a functional dr. who specializes in thyroid, Dr. Rebecca Warren:
Your body runs on a 24-hour circadian rhythm controlled in the hypothalamus part of the brain. This master clock regulates nearly every hormone system in the body—including the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis.
When you expose your eyes and skin to natural sunlight shortly after waking:
• You stimulate retinal ganglion cells that communicate directly with the SCN (“suprachiasmic nucleus) in the hypothalamus).
• The SCN signals the pineal gland to suppress melatonin and initiate cortisol production.
• This rise in cortisol is necessary for proper T4 to T3 conversion (Thyroid hormones), thyroid receptor sensitivity, and glucose metabolism.
In other words, morning light sets the rhythm for your day—and without it, thyroid hormone signaling can become sluggish, misaligned, or inefficient.’

Clinical Impact of Circadian Disruption
Disruption of this light-driven rhythm has been shown to:
• Decrease the activity of enzymes that convert T4 to T3 (active thyroid hormone)
• Alters thyroid receptor expression on target cells
• Impair glucose regulation, indirectly suppressing thyroid function
• Increase inflammatory markers, which can exacerbate autoimmune thyroid conditions
This is particularly important for individuals without a thyroid who rely entirely on exogenous thyroid hormone. Without a synchronized circadian rhythm, even optimal dosing may not yield optimal results.

Implementation Guidelines
To align your HPT axis and support proper thyroid signaling:
• Step outside within 30 minutes of waking
• Avoid sunglasses or viewing light through windows (glass filters out key wavelengths)
• Aim for 5–10 minutes of natural light exposure; 20+ minutes on cloudy days
• If possible, pair this with movement, hydration, and protein intake for additional metabolic benefits
This practice is foundational to regulating cortisol, supporting mitochondrial activity, and improving hormone sensitivity—all of which contribute to how well your thyroid hormones are utilized by the body. Morning sunlight is not just about mood or vitamin D. It is a daily circadian reset that governs endocrine efficiency, immune modulation, and energy metabolism.
If you haven’t made this a part of your daily thyroid support protocol, now is the time to begin.

Whom Will You Serve? Whom Will You Stand Against?
https://clearviewchiropractic.net/whom-will-you-serve-whom-will-you-stand-against/
I have ZERO doubt that we are in the middle of an all-out war of wrong coming against right, lies coming against truth, evil against righteousness, and darkness against the true light. The Bible is very clear about this in the Book of Revelation, that as we near the end of the age that Satan knows his time is short, and he’s filled with fury (Rev. 12:12). He comes against those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Yeshua (Jesus) (Rev. 12:17).
So, how do we stand for what’s right, for truth, righteousness and true light in our day? First, you must choose whom you will serve. Read Joshua 24:14-15 and 1 Kings 18 for two great examples where the Hebrew people were confronted directly with either worshipping the gods of the land in which they lived, or wholly giving themselves to the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob and walking instead in His ways.
I believe we stand at the same precipice today. Whom will you serve? Whom will you stand against?
Or will you find yourself lukewarm and spit out of His mouth (Rev. 3:16)?
Ephesians 6:10-18 contains exact instructions for those of us who have decided to follow Yeshua (Jesus) the Son of the Living God and give our lives to Him, worshiping the one true God and forsaking the ways of the world. If you have not given your life to Yeshua, call upon His Name, repent of your sins, renounce the agreements you’ve made with darkness and lies you’ve accepted and give your life fully to Him and through His blood shed on the cross, enter into covenant with Yehovah, your Creator, the one true Living God.
Meditate on Ephesians 6:10-18—fight the familiarity if you’ve read this before. Let the Holy Spirit speak, ask for revelation of what you’re missing in your armor today & put it on, notice v.18 prayer is part of the armor!!
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints…

I have ZERO doubt that we are in the middle of an all-out war of wrong coming against right, lies coming against truth, evil against righteousness, and darkness against the true light. You see it everyday, and so do I. The Bible is very clear about this in the Book of Revelation, that as we near the...

Just another reason we love SoftWave and what it can do to keep people off drugs and avoid surgery in so many cases :)

After 36 years in surgery, Dr. John Mullins didn’t expect a non-invasive therapy to deliver this level of clinical impact.

SoftWave helped him salvage limbs, reduce opioid use, and improve patient quality of life—all without making a single incision.

The future of healing isn’t always surgical.

Fevers – Why We Shouldn’t Always Medicate Them Away
https://clearviewchiropractic.net/fevers-why-we-shouldnt-always-medicate-them-away/
Most of us were raised to take a fever-reducing medication as soon as you start to feel bad and your temp raises above 98.6. What I want to share today is a different option. I’m a Chiropractor, not a Medical Dr., so I want to preface this with the fact that you are responsible to discern when some situation is a medical emergency with a fever that’s too high. But, the purpose for the fever is to get rid of something coming against the body, and it’s a good thing, a God-designed way for the body to protect itself. It’s also uncomfortable. It’s very uncomfortable to watch your child suffer with sickness and fever, which is what inspires most parents to grab fever-reducers ASAP. Most people don't realize that God gave fevers to obliterate bacteria and viruses within the body. When we then swoop in immediately to obliterate the fever with meds, guess what that does to your body’s immunity? It’s suppressed. The other option is to let the fever to its job. The raising of the internal body temperature literally helps the body to burn out the invader. When this happens, the body is actually getting stronger, the cell-mediated and humoral parts of the immune system, when un-suppressed, get stronger and more robust. This makes the body more able to overcome sickness the next time. But, that’s not been modern-medicine’s recommendation for a few generations now. When we’re trained to suppress the immune system over and over and over, you might begin to assume what that does to immunity over decades of time. The bottom line is – our bodies were created fearfully and wonderfully, the more you give your body the requirements for health & healing, the better outcomes you get for a lifetime. Fevers are for our good, embrace the discomfort for the short-term and get healthier body for the long-term; using wisdom to know when it’s time to intervene.
