Legacy Spine + Nerve Care

Dr. Courtney Martin uses two gentle, and non-invasive techniques that were developed to restore your nervous system, body balance and perfect health.

Lubbock & West Texas' leading wellness center offers a specific and personalized neurological approach that provides hope, healing and empowerment to take back your health. The focus of NUCCA and Orthospinology work is the relationship between the upper cervical spine (neck) and its influence on the central nervous system and brain stem function. It is this relationship that affects every aspect o

f human function from feeling sensations in your fingers to regulating hormones, controlling movement, and providing the ability to hear, see, think, and breathe.

3:00 AM. Again. 😴💭

Your head hits the pillow, but your brain decides it's the perfect time to replay that conversation from three weeks ago, worry about tomorrow's meeting, and create a mental to-do list that could fill a novel.

Sound familiar?
You're not just a "bad sleeper" or an "overthinker."

Here's the truth:
Your nervous system is stuck in survival mode when it should be shifting into rest mode.

When there's interference in your neuro-spinal system (called subluxation), your brain literally can't flip the switch from "fight-or-flight" to "rest-and-digest."

It's like having a car alarm that won't turn off—your nervous system is screaming "DANGER!" even when you're safe in your own bed.

But there is a way that you can calm your brain naturally.
Your body already knows how to sleep deeply. It just needs the right support to remember how.

Chiropractic removes that interference, allowing your nervous system to naturally calm down. When communication flows clearly between your brain and body, that racing mind can finally quiet.

What our practice members experience:
✨ Falling asleep within minutes instead of hours
✨ Staying asleep through the night
✨ Waking up actually refreshed
✨ Less anxiety and racing thoughts during the day

You don't have to accept sleepless nights as "just how you are." Your nervous system wants to rest—sometimes it just needs gentle support to get there.

"We're too busy with summer fun to keep up with appointments right now. We'll get back to our regular schedule when school starts."

We hear this every single summer, and we get it. Summer feels like it should be carefree and spontaneous, not filled with scheduled appointments.
But here's what we see happen year after year, families who take a break from chiropractic care during summer end up struggling more, not less.

Summer is actually when your family's nervous systems face the MOST challenges. Kids are out of their normal routines, staying up later, dealing with constant stimulation. Parents are juggling work with childcare, trying to create magical memories while managing their own stress. Teenagers are pushing their bodies harder with sports and dealing with social pressures.

When one person's nervous system gets overwhelmed, it affects the whole family. A stressed parent can't help their child regulate emotions. Kids with dysregulated nervous systems have more meltdowns, sleep issues, and behavioral challenges. Everyone starts operating from a place of survival instead of thriving.
This is exactly why we encourage families to maintain consistent care throughout the summer.

It's not about adding more to your plate - it's about giving your family the nervous system support you need to actually enjoy this season together.

When your family's nervous systems can communicate clearly, you handle summer chaos with more grace. Better sleep, fewer meltdowns, more patience with each other, and the energy to create those beautiful memories you're hoping for.

Summer should feel joyful, not overwhelming. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your family's summer happiness is to prioritize the nervous system health that makes it all possible!

It's not too late to end summer on a high note. Give our office a call at 806.783.0644 or click the link in our bio to book online!🌞

Your Nervous System = Your Body's Power Grid

Your nervous system controls every function that requires energy. When subluxations create interference, your body works overtime just to function normally - leaving you feeling drained and exhausted.

Subluxations or stress on the body can create:
🔸 Muscle Tension Overload:
Subluxations force muscles to constantly compensate and guard, like driving with your emergency brake on - it burns through energy fast!

🔸 Poor Sleep Quality:
Nervous system interference disrupts deep sleep phases where your body recharges, leaving you running on empty.

🔸 Cellular Communication Breakdown:
When nerve signals are blocked, your cells can't efficiently coordinate energy production - creating traffic jams in your body's energy highways.

🔸 Chronic Stress Response:
Subluxations keep you stuck in "fight or flight" mode, which is incredibly energy-demanding and prevents proper restoration.

During an adjustment, your body goes through an immediate nervous system reset, allowing for muscle relaxation and enhanced communication. This allows your energy to be restored!

Is Your Child Going Through a Growth Spurt? Here's What's Really Happening! 🌱

Growth spurts aren't just about getting taller - they're incredible periods where your child's body literally rebuilds itself at lightning speed!

But here's what most parents don't realize: your child's nervous system is the master coordinator of this entire process, controlling everything from growth hormone release and sleep patterns to muscle development and emotional regulation.

When their neuro-spinal system is clear and connected, kids can navigate these intense developmental phases so much smoother. However, subluxations (spinal misalignments) can interfere with this delicate coordination, leading to those challenging "growing pains," sleep disruptions, temporary clumsiness, and emotional ups and downs that leave both kids and parents feeling overwhelmed.

By removing nervous system interference through safe, intentional upper cervical chiropractic adjustments, we help restore optimal communication between your child's brain and body.

This supports better sleep quality when growth hormone does its magic, improved coordination as body proportions change, reduced growing pains, and enhanced emotional regulation during these big transitions.

We're not treating symptoms - we're supporting your child's innate intelligence to coordinate growth naturally and efficiently, helping them express their full developmental potential.

Growth spurts are incredible demonstrations of your child's innate intelligence and the body's amazing ability to develop and adapt.

At Legacy Spine + Nerve Care, we're honored to support families through every stage of growth and development. We believe that when children's nervous systems are clear and connected, they can express their full potential and thrive through every phase of their remarkable journey toward adulthood. 💫

Torticollis and head shape concerns (plagiocephaly or "flat head syndrome") are linked issues that often originate from nervous system dysfunction and body tension that can start even before birth.

So, how do torticollis or plagiocephaly develop?

- In-Utero Development:
During pregnancy, the positioning in the womb can put stress on a baby's developing spine and nervous system. (That's why prenatal chiropractic care is essential!)

- Birth Trauma and Stress:
The birth process itself, even during "normal" deliveries, can be physically stressful for a baby's delicate spine and nervous system. Interventions like forceps, vacuum extraction, or cesarean section can add tension to the cranial bones and upper neck.

- Positional Preferences:
When babies consistently hold their head in one position due to torticollis, it applies pressure on specific areas of their soft skull, leading to flattening (plagiocephaly).

- Restricted Movement:
Nervous system interference affects more than just neck muscles; it can impact a baby's overall movement patterns, making it hard for them to naturally vary their head position during sleep and play.

- Developmental Milestones:
If the nervous system isn't working optimally, a baby may struggle to reach important milestones like lifting their head, rolling over, sitting up, and crawling - all of which help naturally reshape the head through varied positions.

Pediatric chiropractic care uses gentle techniques to relieve tension in your baby's spine. These adjustments apply no more pressure than you'd use to check if a tomato is ripe — completely safe and tailored for infants.

Chiropractic treatment promotes ideal nervous system function, enhances movement patterns, and supports growth and development.

"I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia, a severe facial pain condition. After research, I chose to first consult with Dr. Courtney Martin, an upper cervical specialist at Legacy Spine & Nerve Care. After special x-rays and various testing, Dr. Courtney determined that I was suffering from a misalignment of my atlas vertebrae which was pressing on the nerve causing my pain. With her specialized treatment plan and wellness advice, I was virtually pain free within several months! I cannot rave enough about Dr. Courtney and her office manager, Lexi Bagley. Both of these wonderful ladies are not only highly knowledgeable; they genuinely care. Each time I went for a treatment, I felt like I was visiting family. I am so glad I chose Legacy Spine & Nerve Care, which I highly recommend!" -Kim

Your body possesses an incredible innate intelligence—a natural ability to heal, adapt, and sustain itself.

Subluxations diminish your body's capacity to handle life's stressors, which include:
-Physical stress (such as injuries, poor posture, repetitive motions)
-Chemical stress (toxins, poor nutrition, medications)
-Emotional stress (work pressure, relationship issues, major life changes)

Legacy Spine + Nerve Care adopts a vitalistic philosophy, believing that your body is inherently equipped to heal itself when provided with proper conditions. Unlike conventional medicine, which often follows an "outside-in" approach by prescribing medications or procedures, chiropractic focuses from the "inside-out"—eliminating interference so your body's natural healing abilities can operate freely.

Through gentle, targeted spinal adjustments, upper cervical focused chiropractors aim to:
-Alleviate subluxations and nerve interference
-Reinstate effective communication between your brain and body
-Optimize nervous system function
-Support your body's innate healing processes

When this occurs, your body is better able to adapt to stress and maintain its natural, vibrant health. Consequently, many individuals notice improvements across various health areas—including better sleep, increased energy, improved digestion, and stronger immune function—when their nervous system functions at its best through regular chiropractic care.
