This month’s blog explores the December wellness landscape and how chiropractic care can help you stay centered, supported, and strong throughout the winter season.

December in the San Francisco Bay Area carries its own unique rhythm. While the city sparkles with holiday lights and the spirit of celebration, it’s also a month filled with colder weather, tighter schedules, end-of-year deadlines, and a pace that can feel both joyful and exhausting. Amid the hus...

✨ Embracing the Christmas Spirit—No Matter What You Celebrate ✨

This time of year carries a special kind of energy. Whether you celebrate Christmas, another holiday, or simply enjoy the lights, the music, and the slowing down of the season, there’s something universally healing about this time of year. ❤️

The Christmas spirit isn’t just about traditions—it’s about connection, kindness, generosity, and taking a moment to care for yourself and the people around you.

At Cardinal Chiropractic, we believe that same spirit is at the heart of chiropractic care.
➡️ It’s about helping your body function at its best.
➡️ It’s about creating space for more ease, more energy, and more presence in your life.
➡️ And it’s about supporting your nervous system so you can move through this season—whatever it means to you—with resilience and joy.

So whether you’re decking the halls or simply soaking up the cozy winter vibe, remember to stay aligned, stay mindful, and give yourself permission to feel good in your body.

















Wishing everyone a season filled with peace, warmth, and well-being. ✨💫

🚨 New Research on Low Back Pain Just Dropped — And It’s a Big Deal

For years, people have been told that early X-rays don’t show much when someone first experiences low back pain.
This new study says… that’s not true.

Researchers compared healthy adults to people having their first episode of acute low back pain and found a clear pattern:

✨ Their low back curve was noticeably increased (hyperlordosis)
✨ Their sacral base angle was significantly higher
✨ Their pelvic structure was normal — meaning the alignment, not the bones themselves, was the issue

In simple terms:
Acute low back pain often shows up as a very specific posture/alignment change — and you can see it on imaging.

Why this matters:
➡️ It gives clinicians a simple, objective marker to look for
➡️ It helps explain why someone is hurting
➡️ It supports more personalized, targeted care instead of generic “rest and wait” advice
➡️ It empowers patients with real clarity about what’s happening in their spine

This research strengthens what many of us see in practice every day:
Alignment matters — especially in those first painful days.

🌟 Long-Term Care, Long-Term Results 🌟
There’s nothing more rewarding than walking alongside a patient for years and watching their quality of life transform. This recent review truly touched me — a reminder that consistent chiropractic care isn’t just about relieving pain, it’s about helping people feel stronger, move better, and live more fully.

I’m grateful for patients who trust me with their health and show up for themselves. Professional knowledge matters, but so does genuine care — and I’m honored to provide both to this amazing community.

Thanksgiving always reminds me of what matters most — slowing down, being present, and spending real, meaningful time with the people we love. 🍂🧡

As we gather around the table this week, I’m especially grateful for family, community, and the ability to live a lifestyle that supports health from the inside out. Chiropractic care isn’t just about pain — it’s about keeping your body aligned so you can show up fully for moments like these: stronger, calmer, and more connected.

Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with good food, warm memories, and a body and mind that feel supported every step of the way. 🦃✨

✨ Client Love & Chiropractic Wins! ✨
Reviews like this remind me why I’m so passionate about what I do. Helping people understand their bodies, build healthier habits, and feel better every day is truly the heart of my work.

This patient shared how much clarity, guidance, and long-term support meant to her — from creating an optimal treatment plan to improving posture and overall well-being. That’s exactly what chiropractic care is all about: whole-person support, not just quick fixes.

⭐️ Client Success Story! ⭐️
I’m so grateful for patients who trust me in their moments of need. Recently, someone came in with an acute hip strain that was making every step painful. After just one session, she experienced 80% improvement and got her mobility back.

These are the moments that remind me why I love what I do — helping people feel better, move better, and get back to living their lives.

If you’re dealing with sudden pain or a lingering issue, you don’t have to wait it out. Chiropractic care can make a real difference. 💛

🧠 Let Kids Play Games — It Builds Strong Bodies & Strong Brains! 🧩

Games like Jenga may look simple, but they do big things for growing kids:

✨ They build fine motor skills
✨ Strengthen hand–eye coordination
✨ Improve focus and problem-solving
✨ Support healthy brain development

But here’s something most parents don’t realize:
All of these skills depend on a healthy, well-functioning nervous system — the communication highway between the brain and the body.

That’s where Chiropractic comes in.
Gentle adjustments help keep the spine aligned and the nervous system working at its best, so kids can concentrate, coordinate, and play with confidence.

A healthy spine supports a healthy mind —
and every game they play helps them grow. 💛🧩

If you’re curious how chiropractic can support your child’s development, I’m here to help!

✨ Real Results from Chiropractic BioPhysics®! ✨

A new published study just revealed incredible results for a woman who had suffered over 10 years of chronic mid-back pain — with little relief from traditional care like PT, chiropractic adjustments, or injections.

After just 3 months of Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®) care focused on correcting posture and spinal alignment, she experienced:
💥 Pain dropped from 8/10 to 0/10
💪 Major improvement in spinal curve (kyphosis reduced from 66° to 45°)
🏃‍♀️ Full return to her daily activities and martial arts training

Even more impressive — her results lasted at least 9 months after care ended!

This study proves what CBP® doctors see every day: when you fix the structure of the spine, you don’t just manage pain — you can eliminate it and restore function for good.
