Have you ever considered the importance of assessing your Vagus Nerve's health? 👀 Your Vagus Nerve plays an absolutely vital role in your well-being, and chiropractic care offers an exceptional avenue to ensure its optimal function!

This special nerve originates from the brain, courses through the cervical spine, and then extends its branches to various organs, glands, and tissues throughout the body.

The point where it exits from the neck is very significant. 🌟 The position of the first cervical vertebra can profoundly affect this nerve, in both positive and negative ways. This is precisely why chiropractic care can have such a profound impact.

Now, you might be wondering, how can you tell if your Vagus Nerve isn't performing at its best? Well, experiencing symptoms like:

💭 Mental fogginess

💥 Digestive disturbances

💤 Disrupted sleep patterns

😟 Anxious feelings

🧠 Difficulty concentrating

🦠 Weakened immunity
..can serve as indicators that it's time to assess the status of your Vagus Nerve!

Regular nervous system based chiropractic care can not only support the health of your Vagus Nerve, but also ensure your entire nervous system operates optimally. 🙏🏻 This, in turn, not only leads to feeling better, but also aids in preventing potential health issues down the road.

If you're ready to embark on a journey to better understand your body's functioning, don't hesitate to reach out to our office. Your well-being is our priority, and we're here to guide you toward your best self! Give us a call today! 📲

😎 Giving Off Those Well Adjusted Vibes 😎

Yes, this is totally a thing! It’s not uncommon for us to see someone walk out of our office with a little extra pep in their step + a bigger smile on their face. 😃 This is because your chiropractic adjustments simply helped you tap into your truest + best self!

It can be incredibly common for us to walk around our day to day not even realizing that we are living in a state of dysfunction. And, many of us have trained ourselves to just keep going, going, going - no matter how we are feeling.

A well connected nervous system ensures that you can operate at your absolute highest potential, which directly affects your overall state of health - mental, emotional, and physical! 💪🏻

VERTIGO - that fall feeling you DON’T want. 🤪

Did you know that your brain is like the conductor of a symphony, orchestrating your body's harmony and balance? 🎶 The brain plays a vital role in your overall well-being!

An especially crucial player in this symphony – the brain stem, resides within the top two vertebrae of your neck, known as the cervical spine.

In our practice, we often encounter misalignments in this vital region, and the impact can be profound. A misalignment in your upper neck can trigger a cascade of symptoms, leading to issues like vertigo, brain fog, vision challenges, headaches, sleep disturbances, sinus troubles, chronic stress, and more. 😬

But here's the exciting part: we dive deep into assessing this specific spinal area! 👏🏻 By removing any stress or interference in this region, we not only address stress in that region, but also pave the way for a balanced, harmonious nervous system. ✨

If you're dealing with neck discomfort or any of the symptoms mentioned above, it's highly likely that your upper cervical spine deserves a closer look. Fortunately, we are experts in this realm, and we're here to guide you toward a path of vibrant health and well-being! 🙌🏻

Symptoms are a sign that your body is doing its job! 👏🏻 While it is ideal to walk through our day to day feeling amazing all the time, it’s only a matter of time before our bodies encounter some type of stress.

When symptoms arise, that is an indication that the body has entered a state of adaptability, doing its best to navigate through a challenge that has emerged within.

While this can be frustrating, it is our responsibility to be kind to our body and the wonderful job that it is doing! 😃 Taking the steps to honor and support the body’s natural healing processes is absolutely vital. 🙏🏻

One of the best ways that you can do this is through chiropractic care. 🌟 While chiropractic does not aim to treat symptoms, it focuses more on clearing the way for your brain and your body to communicate to the best of their ability.

An optimal brain + body connection leads the body into a greater state of adaptability…and, that goes for an individual of any age!

As family wellness chiropractors, we love to help you and your loved ones not only feel better, but function better, too! If you don’t already have a chiropractor as a part of your wellness routine - we would love to chat with you! ☺️

Troubleshooting Night Terrors in Children 🛌

Do you have a child that is struggling with night terrors? This can be a very frustrating and difficult sleep challenge that can impact the whole family. 😔

Night terrors and other sleep challenges can often be linked back to an overactive sympathetic nervous system. Ideally, the sympathetic nervous system is activated when danger is perceived. However, sometimes your child’s neurology gets locked into this fight/flight state, even during sleep. 😴

In our office, individualized chiropractic adjustments are used to help apply the “brakes” or activate the rest, digest, heal part of the nervous system - the parasympathetic nervous system.

This helps your child’s brain and nervous system access the realm of CALM that it needs to for restorative sleep. 🙏🏻

If you have been looking for help resolving a sleep challenge like night terrors, our team is ready to link arms with you!

Did you know that there is no true “sick season”? 🧐 The end of the year tends to be referred to as that, but in reality, there are many factors that go into why more people are more likely to struggle with immune challenges during this time of year!

As we participate in back to back holidays, we ask our bodies to endure: later nights, busier schedules, and increased sugar intake from holiday treats. 🍪🍭

While we can view these things as just a normal part of our routine during the end of the year, they can be quiet taxing on our bodies if it’s not in an optimal state of adaptability. 😬

If our nervous system is operating at a suboptimal level, this leads to a less resilient immune system, leaving us more susceptible to any germs or illnesses.

So, what can you do?! Chiropractic care has scientifically been proven to help your nervous system function at a higher level! ⚡️ This allows all of our body systems to operate better, including the immune system.

We love to see whole families in our community committing to regular chiropractic care to give their bodies the best chance for a healthy fall + winter! 🍁

Understanding the Root Cause of Chronic Ear Infections 👂🏻

Did you realize that chronic ear infections often stem from a drainage problem? The accumulation of fluid due to inadequate drainage in the middle ear, eustachian tube, and even the lymphatic and respiratory systems can lead to persistent congestion.

This ongoing congestion serves as a trigger for inflammation, recurrent ear infections, and various issues affecting the ENT (ear, nose, and throat) and respiratory system. 😬

While antibiotics can be a popular step to take to resolve an ear infection, science has shown over recent years that they are not an effective solution for addressing recurring ear infections. 👀 As chiropractors, our focus isn't on treating chronic ear infections; instead, we aim to tackle the underlying cause!

Our mission is to restore balance to the nervous system, enabling it to effectively oversee the immune system, lymphatic system, and the nerves responsible for regulating ear drainage.

This comprehensive approach ensures proper ear function, preventing fluid buildup and, consequently, the onset of infections.

Chiropractic care can:

• Promote adaptability within your body

• Enhance ear drainage

• Improve blood circulation to the ear, nose, and throat

• Facilitate the natural plumbing system in the ENT area to function optimally

• Encourage improved lymphatic flow

When your nervous system is clear and well-connected, your body possesses the innate ability to heal itself! 🌟

Are you the kind of person that tends to struggle with these things as we venture into the fall season? 🍂

• Lacking motivation

• More fatigued

• Feeling down

• Increased irritability

• Amplified stress levels

These types of symptoms can be very common as we move into a season where we are exposed to less natural sunlight and begin to spend more time indoors as the weather cools. 🍁

While getting exposure to natural sunlight when you can is greatly beneficial, this is also the perfect time of year to ensure that you are being consistent with your chiropractic care routine! 🙌🏻

Daily physical, mental, and environmental stressors can result in nervous system dysfunction, hindering your body from operating at its full capacity. Regular chiropractic care helps to release the stress that is trapped within your spine + nervous system, unlocking your body’s full inner potential to heal! 💫 The results of a optimal functioning nervous system can be:

• Better sleep

• Increased mental clarity

• Happier moods

• Decreased stress

• Improved energy

Are you ready to step into the fall season feeling happy + healthy? We would love to help you! ☺️
