Office vibes this month 😍🎄❤️ sometimes we turn the lights off in the evening during adjustments and kiddos love it. And then when they get up, they go turn the lights back on cause “I can’t see the toys in the dark” 😂😂
Heard in the office this week from some of the young patients.
“I told my grandma that I was coming to the massage doctor”
“I need Dr. Shannon, I have a boo-boo on my finger”
“My nervous system needs help”
“I’m going to help you adjust my mom!”
😂😘😜 I love that these kiddos are growing up with chiropractic care. Not only for the benefit of getting adjusted, but also the added layer of body awareness and what truly brings health and healing.
Side note - it’s never me that does the healing. It’s you and your kiddo. But by coming in and getting adjusted, you allow me to facilitate the healing process 🙏

When the littles graduate to the “big person table” 😍
Few things I wish parents knew about pediatric chiropractic care:
1. Adjustments are gentle and age appropriate (if you see someone who has advanced training in working with kids 🙋🏻‍♀️)
2. With pediatric chiropractic care (and honestly, my adult care too), if there are symptoms, we’re not only looking for those symptoms to resolve. We’re wanting FUNCTION to improve. Neurological function. And yes we can track that.
3. Yes, you can wait and see if “your kid grows out of it”. But if adjustments are safe and gentle, then what’s the harm in making sure the nervous system is regulated for optimal healing - through adjustments.
4. Your kid doesn’t have to lay on the table like this to get adjusted 😂 I have so many parents who were worried their kid “won’t cooperate” and sometimes your kiddo might surprise you. And other times they’re having a meltdown and we’re playing with toys in the kids corner as we adjust.
5. Adjustments have the ability to change the trajectory of your child’s life. If you let it ❤️

This month, we’re writing down what we’re thankful for on cutouts of leaves and turkeys, and these sweet ones were “chilling with the turkeys” as they thought about what they’re thankful for (all I could hear was “rolling with my homies” from Clueless - yes I’m an elder millennial 😂)
I will say, over the years of doing this gratitude exercise in the office, the kiddos have it down pat. Us adults tend to over think things or have a hard time organizing our thoughts, or we do actually have a hard time thinking of what to be grateful for. But the young ones keep it simple and write from the heart and draw pictures and actually have a hard time just picking a few things to be thankful for ❤️
Hop on the wait list if you want to get adjusted this week! And if you’re coming in and you want to “chill with a turkey” be my guest.

Another ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ review 🙌🙏
Love watching families grow and thrive as they take charge of their health and begin to experience what “optimal function” and “nervous system regulation” truly mean ❤️
We’re not chasing symptoms and only treating pain. This care turns into a lifestyle. A way of living. Giving the body the chance to heal and develop and grow and function the best it can - by removing subluxations and nervous system irritation.

Have you heard of the fear-pain-tension cycle? “As it pertains to pregnancy and labor, Dr Dick-Read indicates that fear leads to pain and tension in the body, which can inhibit the progress of labor and giving birth”
The article - Preparation for Birth goes on to talk about the importance of understanding this cycle and ways to interrupt it. I’m careful with my moms in the office when connecting the fear of birth with pain with the potential of impacting labor. It’s a very real fear, of the unknown.
But the key is what we do with this fear. Instead if ignoring it, we can face it with education and support.
We talk about this a lot on the podcast.
Episode 164 - how to process fear and doubt during birth.
Episode 103 - processing the emotions of pregnancy and birth through chiropractic care with Dr Pamela Stone-McCoy
I highly recommend reading the pathways article, listening to the podcast episodes, and begin to face that fear with knowledge, education, and support ❤️

Looks like we’ve got a new Dr at Sunrise 😂🤩😘 sweet girl loves to get adjusted and then while I work with baby brother, show works on the baby doll ❤️
Love watching these kiddos grow up!
Love adjusting these little ones since birth, helping them navigate life outside the womb, helping their nervous system develop optimally, helping them respond to stimuli and stressors appropriately, helping them navigate emotions, helping with balance and coordination, helping with sleep, and helping them trust that their body knows how to heal ❤️

Mom hike in still shots (stay tuned for video 🤪😂) my business bestie joined us which it’s always such a treat to hang with Dr T. Our kids ran around like feral wild animals and we calmly walked and talked. We work well in chaos 😂
Then we met at the office for adjustments since is just down the street. Fun fact for ya…….I get adjusted once a week. Some of yall ask about that. I’ve lived most of my life not getting adjusted. I don’t particularly enjoy living life with a dysregulated and nervous nervous system, so I make it a priority to practice what I preach 😘 and get adjusted regularly. It keeps my immune system functioning well, keeps my mobility in check, helps me stay as active as I am, and I think it makes me a better person.
What if it’s not a snickers we need or it’s not just that we’re hangry. What if it’s an adjustment (that the world needs right now) 🙌😳🤔

To you - what is the difference between surviving vs thriving?
Postpartum can hit moms like a ton of bricks - mentally, physically, emotionally.
And as a perinatal chiropractor, when working with second time moms, the most common thing I see is a very “intentional and deliberate planning of the postpartum time period”. And this is why Rachael and I talk about this ALL THE TIME ❤️ to try to help those first time moms not be blind sided and to help seasoned moms prepare more intentionally.
What helped you the most in postpartum?

Gotta love a good text about 💩 !! Nervous system dysregualtion (subluxations) can present as dysfunctional bowel patterns in some infants. I’ve had some pediatricians say it’s ok for a breast fed baby to go 9 days without a bowel movement 🫣😳 but honestly - how would you feel 9 days with no 💩 but this is why it’s always one of the questions I ask in my newborn exams. Gives great insight into how the nervous system is functioning. I always ask about it whether the parents are bringing the baby in for bowel issues. And besides improvement in sleep, the next most common thing I see in infants under care is more regular and less painful bowel movements.
Stressful births, traumatic births, and fetal malposition are all ways the nervous system can become dysregulated. And pediatric chiropractic care is a beautiful and gentle way to allow the tension to unwind and restore proper function ❤️
And if you’re on Instagram, hope you like the audio 😂😂 it’s amazing what songs pop up when you search p**p 🙄

Beachy vibes for fall break 🤙 we headed back to Seagrove and had an exhaustingly refreshing time 😝 it’s a weird space to be in, being so acutely aware of the passage of time. I work with so many young families, and I see this a lot and very vividly remember those vacations of just parenting in a new location, and scheduling naps, and being asked to build sand castles, and never feeling like I had a chance to just pause and read a book……so I’m soaking up the chance to relax, but mourn not being asked to build a sand castle 🥹 and instead we play paddleball and soccer and football, and we paddleboard with turtles, take long walks after dinner, sleep in, and everyone relaxes for a bit ❤️ (oh and we still get to deal with sibling arguments 🙄😂)
