Our office will be closed today (Friday) and Monday in observance of the Labor Day holiday. We’ll reopen with normal hours on Wednesday.

As we take this time to rest and recharge, we also want to honor and thank our military members—past and present—for their hard work and dedication.

Have a safe, healthy, and happy holiday weekend! 💙❤️

“The vagus nerve (specifically the portion that innervates the intestinal digestive tract), responds to and mediates distress concerned with the experience of ‘indigestible morsels.’ On one hand, this can be a food morsel that is stuck or hard to transport through the intestines. On the other hand, the distressing feeling can be a sense of ‘lack,’ i.e., of not having the ‘morsels’ that we want or need to survive.

In other words, the vagus nerve (the portion that innervates the intestinal tract) responds to the distress around ‘nourishment,’ of not having or not digesting the food substances that we need to survive. (Later in life, figurative ‘morsels’ like money, clothes, possessions, etc., can be interpreted as the “morsels” that we want or need to survive.)

Let’s now take a moment to empathize with an infant’s early experiences. During the first year of life, this tiny human being’s predominant focus is on obtaining and digesting breast milk or other sources of nourishment. So much of their life revolves around this major drive.” – John Ohm

Infant digestive issues like colic and constipation can be related to emotional distress that affects the nervous system, particularly through the cranial nerves—specifically the 10th (vagus) and 11th (accessory) cranial nerves. Chiropractic adjustments, especially those focused on the head, neck, and spine, can help relieve this stress by restoring mobility and in turn improving nervous system function, addressing the emotional-physical connections that can manifest as digestive symptoms.

Keeping your nervous system calm and balanced doesn’t have to be complicated!

When your vagus nerve isn’t functioning well, you may feel stuck in a constant state of stress—leading to anxiety, fatigue, inflammation, poor sleep, and more. Here’s the good news: you can improve the function of your vagus nerve—and realigning your body helps support it.

Hopefully the sun will be out soon in the Hudson Valley. In the meantime take a vitamin d supplement and eat foods high in vitamin d to keep your body at optimal levels

Vitamin D is a crucial nutrient for bone health. Some studies suggest a link between vitamin D deficiency and joint or muscle pain, including rheumatoid arthritis.

We had a full and fulfilling day at the office today, seeing so many of our wonderful patients—thank you all for taking steps toward better health! 🙌

One highlight that really warmed our hearts was getting to care for two special families during their chiropractic visits. One family came in as a trio—mom, dad, and their energetic 4-year-old—and the other brought three generations together: mom, grandma, and their adorable 1-year-old.

It’s always special to witness families prioritizing their health together, and even more heartwarming to see little ones growing up with chiropractic care as a natural part of their wellness routine. Generational care is such a gift, and we’re honored to be part of that journey.

Thank you to these wonderful families for trusting us. You're why we love what we do! 💙

Great tips on reducing the likelihood of injury while doing spring yard work. As always give us a call to get scheduled for an adjustment if your body needs it.

The springtime bending and lifting of mulch or rock, that pull start mower, or even pushing a heavy wheelbarrow can easily injure you if you’re unprepared.
