“I came to Dr. Nguyen with bad headaches. I was tired all the time and digestive issues. I had labs done and the Dr. office, but everything was in range that they didn’t address my issues. Dr. Nguyen took the time to listen to all my concerns, looked at my lab work. She took x-rays of my spine.

She gave me supplements that I was lacking, started getting adjusted twice a week, gave me advice on getting tested for food sensitivities. Now with only 5 visits my energy is up, my headaches are just about fully gone. I over all feel way better. I enjoy my kids more. I don’t feel the need to nap every day. I’m very thankful for everything Dr. Nguyen has done for me”

📚🎒 Welcome Back to School! 🎒📚

As kids head back to class, let’s make sure they’re protecting their growing spines! The way a backpack is worn makes a big difference.

Tips for proper backpack use:

• Use both shoulder straps (no one-strap slinging!)
• Keep the backpack close to the body
• Make sure the bottom sits no lower than the waist
• Pack heavier items closer to the back
• The backpack should be no more than 10–15% of your child’s body weight

A few simple adjustments can help prevent back and shoulder pain throughout the school year.

Wishing all students a safe, healthy, and successful year ahead! 🍎

What is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways, often developing during the growth spurt just before puberty. While it can be mild in many cases, more severe forms can lead to posture issues, back pain, and even breathing problems if left untreated.

Early detection is key! That’s why we’re offering FREE scoliosis screenings for all students as they head back to school.

📞Call or message us at 616-527-6300 to schedule your child’s free scoliosis screening today. Let’s start the school year strong and healthy! 💪🎒📚

🥤🥤How much water should you drink in a day❓❓

It should be half your body weight in ounces!

Drinking more water has a ton of benefits for your body and mind.

1. Boosts energy levels

Even mild dehydration can make you feel tired or sluggish. Water helps keep your energy up.

2. Improves digestion

It helps break down food, prevents constipation, and supports a healthy gut.

3. Clears skin

Hydrated skin looks healthier, plumper, and more radiant. Water helps flush out toxins that cause breakouts.

4. Aids in weight management

Drinking water before meals can reduce hunger and help prevent overeating.

5. Supports kidney function

It helps your kidneys flush out waste through urine and reduces the risk of kidney stones.

6. Enhances brain function

Good hydration improves focus, memory, and mood. Dehydration can cause brain fog or headaches.

7. Regulates body temperature

Sweating and staying cool depend on proper hydration.

8. Lubricates joints

Water keeps your joints cushioned and reduces discomfort, especially during physical activity.

9. Boosts metabolism

Some studies show that drinking cold water can slightly increase your metabolism.

10. Strengthens immune function

Helps your body naturally eliminate toxins and supports healthy immune responses.
