Some of you may already know this, but I’m a bit of a nerd 🤓, especially when it comes to chiropractic and how it affects neurology 🧠 and the entire body, not just “back pain”. Although, we’re really good at helping with that.

The picture you see is from the book “The Reality Check”. The middle paragraph goes on to introduce how spine movement (or lack thereof) affects how your brain processes all incoming info (thousands of stimuli per second). Any input to your brain from abnormal spine motion can affect how your brain responds to all that OTHER sensory info, even info coming from organs, for example.

To simplify, having improper spine movement is like having 3G on your phone instead of 5G. And most of the time, that improper movement is painless.

Does your spine need a tune up? If you’re reading this hunched over looking at your phone, you should already know the answer.

Let me know how I can help.

Unpopular opinion: You don’t have to let pain stop you from doing what you love. ❌

Recently, I consulted with a man who “didn’t believe in chiropractors”. 🤔 He’s spent the last decade of his life taking high doses of nerve pain medication, 💉 opioids, and every over the counter drug you can think of. As the pain worsened, the dosages increased. It seemed like a winning formula…. Until it wasn’t. The shooting nerve pain from his lower back affected him so much, he was forced to give up something he’s loved to do his entire life: playing drums.

After just 2 chiropractic adjustments, he has ZERO nerve pain. Nada. Zilch.

Chiropractic works.

IT IS HOT 🥵 😅

As we near the 100 degree mark today, here are a few tips/tricks to staying hydrated.

🌡️ The Importance of Hydration 🌡️
Did you know that water makes up about 60% of our bodies? It keeps our system running smoothly. Dehydration can lead to fatigue, headaches, and lack of focus – let's avoid that!

💧 3 Easy Tips to Stay Hydrated 💧
1. Sip It Up: Keep a water bottle within arm's reach wherever you go. Whether you're at the beach, hiking, or just chilling at home, having water readily available will remind you to sip it up frequently.

2. Infuse for Flavor: Not a big fan of plain water?Try infusing it with natural flavors. Drop in some fresh fruits like lemon, cucumber, or berries – it'll add a tasty twist to your water and make it more enticing.

3. Set Hydration Alarms: With all the fun summer activities, it's easy to forget about drinking water. Set reminders on your phone to take a water break every hour. It's a simple way to stay on track and ensure you're well-hydrated throughout the day.

Raise your hand if you’ve been to a chiropractor and felt like you saw everybody get the same adjustment every time, whether it be with an instrument or by hand. 🙋‍♂️

One size fits all may work for some things, but it doesn’t work with how I choose to deliver care to patients.

Each patient has their own unique goals, subluxation patterns, spine health, and adjustment styles. I believe that should be acknowledged and each patient should be adjusted according to these factors.

I have very limited spots this week. If you’ve been on the fence, take the leap like many others have and reap the benefits of customized chiropractic care.

Today, I had the absolute honor of adjusting a newborn at just 6 days old 👶. She didn’t have any “issues”, per say. Mom and dad just wanted to get her checked for subluxations and to make sure their little girl was starting life off on the right foot. *proud doctor moment*

P.S. Mom said the labor and delivery was a piece of cake 💪. She was adjusted her entire pregnancy and got to reap the benefits of having a balanced pelvis during pregnancy and delivery. 🙌

5 years!! 🤯

It’s surreal to think I’ve spent the last 5 years doing what I love to do!… and today was no different. This morning, we had an office full of newborns, pregnant mommas, brand new mommas, rockstar dads, and grandparents as well!

HUGE thank you to all of my wonderful patients for trusting in me to provide the highest quality care possible, and my coworkers who make my “job” so enjoyable. It’s an honor to serve all of you! 🫶

We’ve been receiving a lot of questions lately about whether chiropractic care is beneficial for children. To shed some light on this, let me share a quick experience. 📚

This boy was your typical 8-year-old, full of energy, a rough-houser, and a lover of sports. However, he often complained about chronic headaches that stopped him from truly enjoying his childhood and friends. 😕

Our spines are like the central highway for our nervous system. When a kiddo suffers from chronic issues, it can often be traced back to disruptions in this highway. 🛣️💡

Through gentle adjustments, we corrected minor misalignments in his spine, paving the way for his nervous system to function more optimally. And guess what? His headaches started to disappear! 🎉😁 He was able to get back to his favorite sports, play with friends, and even improve his concentration in school. 📚🌈

All in all, chiropractic care can benefit anyone, at any age. You don’t even need symptoms or problems to get started. Healthy kids make healthy adults!

Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads out there!
