12 weeks of Chiropractic Care Modulates Biomarkers Linked to Neuroplasticity, Inflammation, and Stress: Increases in brain-derived neurotrophic factor and interleukin-6 suggest enhanced neuroplasticity and inflammatory responses, while decreases in tumor necrosis factor-alpha indicate a regulatory effect on systemic inflammation. These findings support the notion that chiropractic care modulates physiological systemic biomarkers, which may underscore its benefits on clinical outcomes.

Takeaway: Chiropractic care has systemic effects and is more than just for pain relief.

No more “I’ve tried everything.” No more temporary relief. Just your nervous system finally getting the reset it’s been asking for.

Think chiropractic is all about “bone cracking” and aggressive adjustments? 🦴

It’s a common practice, but here’s what we know! ⤵️

Your body isn’t broken - it’s just stuck in old patterns that used to protect you but now keep you in pain.

That’s why we use techniques like NET (Neuro Emotional Technique) that don’t require any twisting or popping. Instead, we’re helping your brain realize that the stress response you had when you were 4 years old doesn’t need to kick in every time your boss sends a demanding email.

Your body literally thinks it’s still protecting you from that childhood trauma when really, you’re just trying to get through your workday without neck pain!

With NET, we find those old emotional patterns that are keeping your muscles tight and your nervous system on high alert. Then we use gentle pressure points and breathing techniques to help your body understand: “Hey, that threat from 20 years ago? It’s not happening now.”

No aggressive adjustments needed. Just helping your body’s natural intelligence remember how to relax and heal.

Whether you’re the retail worker who can’t lift her arm without pain or the young professional stressed about everything, we’re not just treating your symptoms - we’re addressing why your body feels like it needs to stay guarded in the first place.

May the light shine on all of us this holiday season.

Twas the night before christmas, and all through the practice, nothing made a sound, not even the cactus. The stockings were hung under the sign with such care, in hopes that St. Nicholas might soon be there. The doctors were nestled all snug in their beds. While visions of wellness danced in their heads. 🎁✨🎄

New year energy can feel exciting…and a little intense. Suddenly it’s calendar upgrades, big plans, and the urge to overhaul everything overnight. But if your body is already carrying tension from long days, busy schedules, or too much screen time, the best “reset” might be a simpler one.

Chronic stress isn’t just “feeling overwhelmed” - it’s your body stuck in survival mode 24/7.

When cortisol levels stay elevated for weeks or months, it wreaks havoc on everything from your sleep and digestion to your immune system and mental clarity. You end up exhausted but wired, productive but never satisfied.

➡️ Most people try to manage stress with quick fixes: more coffee, stress-eating, binge-watching shows, or pushing through with sheer willpower. But these Band-Aid solutions often make the problem worse in the long run.

Acupuncture works differently 🙌🏼

Instead of masking symptoms, it actually resets your nervous system at the source. Those tiny needles placed at specific points send signals that flip your body from “fight or flight” into “rest and restore” mode.

🧠 The science is fascinating: acupuncture triggers the release of endorphins and GABA - your brain’s natural chill pills. It also regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (the stress response headquarters) and increases alpha brain waves associated with relaxation. Many patients report feeling calmer after just one session, with cumulative benefits building over time.

The best part? No side effects, no dependencies, just your body remembering how to be at peace again.
