“90% of the stimulation and nutrition to the brain is generated by the movement of the spine.” Dr. Roger Sperry 🧠✨

That’s why keeping your spine moving well is so much more than a “back” thing. It’s a brain thing. When your spine moves the way it’s designed to, it sends powerful, nourishing input to your brain, helping your entire body function better.

Bruce experienced it firsthand: “I’m doing activities that I have not been able to do for some time. I bounce out of bed, ready to take on the day!!” 💜

Stories like Bruce’s aren’t magic. They’re the result of a clear, connected nervous system and a body that’s finally able to work the way it’s meant to. Chiropractic care supports that connection, so you can do more of what you love, with the energy to match.

When we set wellness goals, it’s easy to slip into “fix-it mode” picking apart every flaw, every ache, every part we wish was different.

But your body is not a project. 💜

Your body is your home.
It’s the space you live in, the place that carries you through every moment of your life. It’s designed to protect you, support you, and grow stronger with the right care.

When we shift our mindset from “fixing” to “nurturing,” everything changes. We begin to make choices out of love and respect, moving, eating, resting, and getting adjusted because we want to support the home we live in, not just patch up its cracks.

Your body already holds incredible wisdom. Give it what it needs, and it will take care of you in return.

You can’t pour from an empty cup…and you definitely can’t adjust from one. 😉

Here are 3 things I personally do to stay healthy as a chiropractor (and nervous system nerd 💜):

1️⃣ I get adjusted weekly, on the same day each week. Because consistency isn't just convenient... it's regulating.
2️⃣ I spend as much time outside as humanly possible 🌿 Morning light, fresh air, feet in the sand.
3️⃣ I protect my sleep like it’s sacred. Because it is. 💤

These aren’t “self-care hacks.” They’re habits that keep my nervous system grounded so I can show up clear, focused, and fully present for every person who walks through my door.

Because the way we care for ourselves? It sets the tone for how we serve others.

💬 Drop a 🌞 if any of these are part of your own health routine!

Brains love movement, especially growing ones! 💜

When babies wiggle and crawl or kids run, jump, swim, or ride bikes, they’re not just burning energy. They’re feeding their brain vital input that supports focus, memory, and learning. Research shows active kids often score higher in school and it’s no surprise.

Movement stimulates the nervous system, helping the brain make new connections and process information more effectively. That’s why we encourage families to make activity a daily priority and why chiropractic care is such a powerful partner in your child’s development.

By keeping your child’s spine and nervous system functioning at their best, we help ensure their brain gets the clear, consistent signals it needs to thrive, in the classroom and beyond. 🧠✨

Everything in life takes consistency to maintain: your muscles, your relationships, your nervous system. 💜

Your body works as one incredible, integrated whole. When you focus on building one area but neglect another, things get out of sync… and eventually, you feel it.

Strength training builds muscle. Nutritious food fuels your cells. But your nervous system is the master control and if it’s not functioning optimally, everything else has to work harder.

Regular chiropractic care helps keep your nervous system clear, connected, and adaptable, so your whole body can stay in harmony — inside and out.

Little Oakley had bad colic. His parents said he would arch his back, screaming for hours until he'd turn blue, then he would still silently scream!

If they were able to get him to sleep, he'd never sleep more than an hour. You can imagine how hard this was for the family, especially with a twin to take care of as well.

Their mom saw a social media video about how chiropractic care could help colic, and it started her thinking. Then one of her friends (a patient of ours) recommended that she bring Oakley to us. Mom figured she might as well bring baby Elaina too to be preventative.

It’s so awesome to see how quickly a baby’s body can adapt and change when their nervous system is clear!

After his first adjustment, Oakley started taking longer naps and having relief from gas. After just a few more adjustments, he wasn’t screaming and arching his back as much. Within his first month of care, he was functioning well and acting fine! Now he's smiley and happy most of the time!

The chiropractic approach isn’t about “treating” colic. It’s about gently restoring normal motion and healthy input to your baby’s nervous system, so their body can function the way it was designed to.

When your baby’s body is under stress (even from birth interventions or long labor), it can create subtle shifts in the spine called subluxations that disrupt the communication between their brain and body. This can impact digestion, sleep, and emotional regulation for babies AND adults.

When Oakley’s mom and dad understood this, they wanted to start reaping the benefits of being proactive with chiropractic care, too! As the twins are getting heavier and busier, their parents notice life is easier for them now that they are getting adjusted.

There’s nothing like the pure joy of playing with kids at the beach…until you realize they have way more energy than you do. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💨

The goal isn’t to avoid wrinkles. It’s to age with strength, stamina, and stories they’ll never forget.

To keep up with all your favorite kiddos, you need a body and nervous system that can move, adapt, and recover without slowing you down.

That’s why we love seeing families who make their health a priority. Chiropractic care helps keep your spine and nervous system functioning at their best, so you can enjoy more of these moments — not watch them from the sidelines. 💜

Because you don’t want to miss those precious moments.

To us, whole-family wellness means nervous systems that adapt, not just survive. 💜

Because thriving isn’t about avoiding stress…
It’s about having the capacity to move through it with ease, clarity, and connection.

That’s the power of chiropractic care.

We help growing families build regulation from the inside out so you can handle what life throws your way without burning out.
