Sometimes it seems like everyone is coming in with the same symptoms🤰🏼
Some weeks it’s all SI pain… some weeks it’s round ligament…
And this week it feels like EVERY pregnant mama is coming in with carpal tunnel–type symptoms.

Hand numbness and tingling in pregnancy is super common, but it’s definitely not normal—and you don’t have to just push through it.

Most of the time, it isn’t even true carpal tunnel.
It’s nerve irritation higher up in the neck, shoulder, or thoracic outlet from swelling, posture changes, and the extra strain pregnancy puts on your body.

In the office I use:
✨ Gentle prenatal adjustments
✨ Vibrational massage to open the neck + shoulder area
✨ RockTape to help with swelling and support

…and so many moms feel relief quickly—especially at night when it’s the worst.

San Jose mamas, if your hands are going numb or tingling, I’d love to help you feel better.
DM me “HANDS” and I’ll get you set up for relief.

Amen, Dr. Gerner. After supporting 6 mother-baby dyads today, I couldn’t have said it better myself! 🙌

And we wonder why some babies are tense, fussy, or can’t turn their head one way - their nervous system’s been through a lot already! That’s why I always say — prenatal body work matters…not just for mom but for baby too!

When moms are balanced, baby can move into the best position, making birth easier on both of you and helping prevent the need for interventions that increase stress on baby’s spine.

And after birth? Gentle chiropractic care helps your little one unwind from those early pressures and start life in balance. 💛👶

🚫 Skip the bumbo chairs, “play” stations, baby walkers and Johnny jumpers— here’s why!

Though these baby containers are convenient, they actually get in the way of normal neurodevelopment. When babies are propped up before they’re ready, they miss out on vital sensory and motor experiences that help build their core, balance, and brain connections.

💡Better options that allow for movement:
✅ Tummy time
✅ Side-lying play
✅ Floor time for rolling + reaching
✅ Crawling + exploring

And baby-wearing beats out all baby containers on any day of the week, allowing for a sense of safety, parental connection and good development of postural control for the neck muscles. Plus, mom gets to be hands-free 🙌

Every wiggle, roll, and reach is your baby’s way of building their nervous system from the ground up. 🧠✨

👉 Save this for your next baby shower gift idea (hint: a soft mat beats a molded seat any day).

As parents, we deserve real answers. We deserve the truth so we can make informed choices for our families. We have a right to know what’s making our kids sick.

If you’ve ever wondered the same, I invite you to watch the documentary An Inconvenient Study.

Fair warning—you might walk away angry.

Loved spending time with these inspiring women at Lokahi last night. It truly takes a village, and families in San Jose are lucky to have such a strong team of perinatal providers in their corner ❤️

Just got a text from a mama who almost had her baby in the car because labor went THAT fast 🙌🏼

Her first birth was the opposite—water broke, induction with misoprostol and pitocin, epidural, 5 hours of pushing, and a vacuum assistance after being labeled “failure to progress.”

This time? No stall, no induction, no marathon pushing. Her body moved the way it was meant to.

The difference? Consistent chiropractic care to balance the pelvis, support nervous system function, and help baby find the best position.

When the body is aligned, birth doesn’t have to be traumatic—it can be quick, instinctive, and on your own terms.

Every milestone matters — and when and how they’re met matters too. ✨ Rolling before sitting, crawling before walking… these aren’t random. They’re part of a beautifully designed neurological sequence that builds the foundation for balance, coordination, learning, behavior, and emotional regulation.

When milestones are skipped or delayed, it may be a sign that the nervous system isn’t firing on all cylinders. 👶⚡️

That’s where chiropractic comes in.

By improving the way the brain and body communicate, we help kids hit their milestones with more ease, confidence, and on schedule. Because a strong foundation in the early years = a thriving child later on. 🧠💪

Don’t overcomplicate health. The basics done consistently make the biggest impact:

✅ Eat clean most of the time
✅ Move daily
✅ Eliminate toxins
✅ Stay hydrated
✅ Soak up sunshine
✅ Keep your spine + nervous system clear
✅ Laugh, love & truly live ✨

Simple. Powerful. Life-changing. 💫

It’s difficult to find the right words after such a heavy week.

Regardless of where we stand politically, I hope that we can all agree that the cold-blooded murder of this man was a heartbreaking and horrific tragedy. No one should ever face violence simply for speaking up for what they believe in.

Rest in peace Charlie ❤️

Your baby’s spine does more than support their little body — it’s an essential part of their nervous system.

Each small vertebra helps protect the delicate nerve pathways that carry messages from the brain to every muscle, organ, and tissue. When those pathways stay clear, your baby’s body can grow, regulate, and heal just the way it was designed to.

Breaking the cycle starts with daily choices.

Chiropractic care helps keep the nervous system clear so the body can adapt and heal the way it was designed to.

Pair that with whole, organic, nutrient-dense foods and consistent movement, and you’ve laid the foundation for lasting wellness.

These small daily habits don’t just benefit you—they shape the health of your entire family for years to come.
