Proactive vs. Reactive = Health care vs. Sick care

We totally understand... being proactive sometimes seems like a chore in the moment. But we all KNOW that it's better to get ahead of an issue than wait for it to arise and cause havoc or demand our immediate attention.

Making the switch mentally to take control of your health NOW is beneficial to setting a foundation for the body to heal and combat potential illness, injuries, etc.

This is what true HEALTH care is. Taking care of yourself and your body BEFORE it gets sick, has an injury, breaks down. You only get one body in life... be proactive in taking care of it!

๐Ÿ’ฅHEADACHES๐Ÿ’ฅ...are no fun๐Ÿ˜ค

Did you knowโ‰๏ธ If you suffer from any of these three common types of headaches, chiropractic care can absolutely help!๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

It's true that many different things can contribute to headaches... dehydration, poor diet, infection, inadequate sleep, too much screen time, etc... but often times, one common denominator is spinal misalignments and disruptions to normal nervous system function.

Keep up with regular chiropractic adjustments and minimize headaches!๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผโ˜บ๏ธ

We frequently share about the little ones we see at the office and different reasons that parents seek out chiropractic care. Things like sleep difficulties, constipation, ear infections, and more are challenges that we see (and can help with!) on a regular basis.

But, chiropractic care is about ๐—ฆ๐—ข ๐—บ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ than just care for specific conditions! Regular, wellness-based care truly supports proper nervous system functioning, leading to optimal health and well-being.

The adults and children that we see who have the best results with chiropractic care are the ones who use it as a wellness tool. They aren't waiting until something goes wrong, something hurts, etc. But, we realize this isn't an option for everyone, all of the time! So we often tell parents that at a mฬฒiฬฒnฬฒiฬฒmฬฒuฬฒmฬฒ, it's important to have their little ones evaluated and adjusted at certain developmental milestones. As their nervous systems are wiring and firing and creating new movement patterns and muscle development, it's crucial that their brain and body are communicating properly!

These ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—–๐—ข๐— ๐— ๐—˜๐—ก๐——๐—˜๐—— ๐— ๐—œ๐—Ÿ๐—˜๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—ข๐—ก๐—˜๐—ฆ in the first 1-2 years include (but aren't always limited to):
-ASAP after birth (especially if born via C-section)
-Holding their head up
-Starting to roll
-Sitting independently
-Beginning to crawl
-First steps

And the between-milestones periods if things are off and/or if challenges arise... these are important times to get them in to see us, too!
