When most people think of chiropractic care, they think of back pain. But here's the truth: your spine is the highway for your entire nervous system, and that means it impacts far more than just how your back feels.

✨ When your spine is aligned, signals from your brain can travel freely throughout your body. That supports:
✔️ Better digestion
✔️ More restful sleep
✔️ Balanced hormones
✔️ Reduced tension + headaches
✔️ A stronger immune response
✔️ Calmer moods and more focus

Misalignments (also called subluxations) can disrupt this communication, leading to discomfort, stress, or even fatigue without you realizing your spine is involved.

🧠 This is why so many of our patients come in not just for back discomfort, but to feel better overall.

💬 Common signs your body might need an adjustment:
+ Feeling “off” or unbalanced
+ Brain fog or trouble focusing
+ Poor sleep despite being tired
+ Digestive irregularities
+ Tension in the shoulders, neck, or jaw
+ Low energy or frequent immune dips

🌿 At Hanna Wellness Center, we take a whole-body approach to health, combining chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, and essential oils to help you feel your best.

As kids head back into classrooms and routines shift, this is the perfect time to reinforce immune health and build strong habits that will support your family all year long.

Let’s be honest, this season often brings more than school supplies and schedules. It brings stress, exposure to new germs, and an uptick in physical and emotional demands. But there’s good news: you can support your child’s (and your own!) wellness naturally and effectively with a few core practices:

🌿 Chiropractic Care
Regular adjustments help regulate the nervous system, which plays a direct role in immune function. A properly aligned spine allows the body to adapt more efficiently to stress, improve sleep, and reduce tension that can weaken immunity.

🥦 Healthy Eating = Fuel for Resilience
Focus on whole foods rich in vitamins C and D, zinc, and antioxidants. Try smoothies with hidden greens, protein-packed lunches, and snacks that stabilize energy and mood, not spike it.

🌬️ Essential Oils for Daily Defense
Oils like Lemon, Frankincense, Oregano, The Protective Blend and Tea Tree can support the immune system, purify the air, and soothe seasonal discomfort. Diffuse daily, use in rollers, or add a drop to a warm foot soak.

🤸‍♂️ Move Your Body Daily
Whether it’s a family walk, stretching before bed, or dance breaks between homework, daily movement improves circulation, boosts mood, and strengthens the immune response.

These practices work together to build a strong foundation of wellness, not just for now, but for the whole school year ahead.

Feeling tight, tense, or just off lately? Acupuncture is a gentle, time-tested way to help the body reset and relieve discomfort.

Whether you’re dealing with muscle stiffness, joint tension, or stress-related strain, acupuncture works by stimulating specific points to:
✔️ Improve circulation
✔️ Release natural endorphins
✔️ Support your nervous system
✔️ Promote balance and healing

💆‍♀️ Many patients notice a difference after just one session, especially when paired with chiropractic care, massage, or essential oils.

If your body is whispering for relief, this could be your next step toward feeling more like you.

Lavender is so much more than just a lovely scent.

✨ A Brief History
Used for centuries, Lavender was prized in ancient Egypt for perfumes and mummification. Romans used it in baths, beds, and for healing. The name itself comes from the Latin lavare, meaning “to wash.”

🧠 How It Works (The Science)
Lavender essential oil contains compounds like linalool and linalyl acetate, which interact with the nervous system to promote relaxation. These molecules have been shown to help calm the limbic system—the part of the brain that regulates emotion and stress.

🌸 Top Benefits
✔️ Promotes restful sleep
✔️ Eases anxious thoughts
✔️ Soothes skin irritations
✔️ Helps calm head tension
✔️ Supports wound healing
✔️ Gentle enough for all ages

🤝 Blends Well With
→ Cedarwood (for sleep)
→ Frankincense (for skin)
→ Peppermint (for head tension)
→ Bergamot (for mood)
→ Roman Chamomile (for babies + kids)

🌙 Whether you’re diffusing it before bed, adding a drop to your moisturizer, or blending it into a roller for calm on the go — Lavender is a must-have in every home.

💜 How do you love to use Lavender?

The last day of July is the perfect moment to pause.
To check in with your body.
To honor how far you’ve come—and how much your nervous system might need a reset.

This is one of my favorite diffuser blends to mark a transition.
🌿 Frankincense to ground
🌸 Lavender to soothe
🍊 Wild Orange to uplift
🌲 Cedarwood to calm and center

Let it fill your space as you tidy up, stretch, breathe, or just be.

The seasons shift. So do we.
And there’s beauty in that.

So often we think of health as something we only pay attention to when something goes wrong—pain, illness, burnout.

But true wellness is something we build.
Through how we move, rest, nourish, hydrate, and care for our nervous systems.
Through consistent choices, not perfection.

At Hanna Wellness, we look at the whole person.
Not just symptoms, but systems. Not just pain, but patterns.

Whether you're coming in for chiropractic care, massage, acupuncture, or guidance on essential oils and supplements, our goal is always the same:

To help you feel better in your body.
To restore balance, energy, and ease.
To remind your body how to heal.

If I had to name one simple habit that makes a big impact on how your body feels, it would be this:

Drink more water.
And I’m not just saying that as a general wellness tip.

Your spine, muscles, brain, and even your mood depend on proper hydration.

Here’s what happens when you’re even mildly dehydrated:
💧 Muscles feel tighter and more prone to cramping
💧 Spinal discs lose their cushioning
💧 Headaches show up more easily
💧 You feel tired, sluggish, or foggy
💧 Detox pathways slow down
💧 Your body becomes more sensitive to pain

I see it in practice all the time, when a patient starts drinking enough water consistently, their chiropractic care holds longer, their sleep improves, and even their digestion gets better.

Especially during summer, your body needs more water to keep up with the heat, activity, and stress.

✅ Start your day with a big glass of water
✅ Add electrolytes or a pinch of sea salt to support absorption
✅ Pair hydration with movement to support lymph flow
✅ Carry a water bottle so it’s always within reach

Healing happens best when the body is supported at every level, and hydration is one of the most foundational supports there is.

Not every ache needs an adjustment.
Sometimes your body is simply asking for a little space to breathe and move again.

I often recommend gentle stretching to my patients, especially if you’ve been:
• Sitting for long periods (hello, summer road trips!)
• Sleeping in unfamiliar beds
• Feeling tight in your shoulders, low back, or hips
• Coming out of a stressful season

Stretching supports circulation, calms your nervous system, and helps your muscles let go of what they’ve been holding.

These are the stretches I often recommend to patients who need a reset after long days, travel, or stress. They’re simple, gentle, and surprisingly powerful:

🦶 Legs-Up-the-Wall – reduces swelling, calms the nervous system
🪑 Seated Forward Fold – gently opens the back and hamstrings
🐄 Cow Stretch – activates the spine and opens the chest
🧘‍♀️ Child’s Pose – brings grounded stillness to your mind and hips
🧍‍♀️ Standing Forward Fold – releases tension from your low back
🛏 Bridge Pose – supports the lower back and improves circulation

Breathe slowly. Move gently. Don’t force.
Let each pose be an invitation, not a demand.

For an extra layer of support, apply a calming essential oil like Lavender or AromaTouch® to your wrists or neck before you begin.

Your body wants to feel good. Sometimes, a quiet stretch is all it takes to start that process.

I love hearing about your summer plans—hiking trips, beach days, family vacations, long flights, and road trips.

But I also know how those adventures can leave your body feeling a little… off.

That ache in your lower back after a 6-hour flight.
The tight neck from sleeping in a hotel bed.
The sluggish digestion after eating differently for a week.
Even just the overstimulation from being on the go for days at a time.

Your body needs time—and care—to fully reset.

At Hanna Wellness Center, we can support your recovery from summer with:
💆‍♀️ A chiropractic adjustment to realign your spine and ease tension
💧 Massage therapy to release tight muscles and help you breathe deeper
🧠 Acupuncture to calm your nervous system and support deep rest
🌿 Essential oils to soothe, ground, and help your body come back into rhythm

Your vacation may be over, but your healing doesn’t have to wait.
If you’re feeling tired, tight, or a little “off,” let’s get you back to feeling like yourself again.

You don’t have to push through it.
Book a visit—we’ll support your body in coming home, too.
