Dr Kori - Chiropractic

10/05/2023

It’s been awhile since I’ve formally introduced myself (perhaps I never have😰 I’m trying to get better at social media). So here goes nothing.

Hi 👋🏼 I’m Dr. Kori! I live and work in Santa Barbara, CA. I’m coming up on celebrating my 25th year of being a chiropractor. 😀I absolutely love to help people! It’s my heart’s desire to see people experience a healthy and balanced life. I know that regular chiropractic care can help you find that balance that can keep you expressing LIFE for years to come! If you’re not experiencing the life that you imagined, you will find that by correcting misalignments of the spine your body will once again be able to begin true healing and rejuvenating itself in ways that you’ve been told aren’t possible! Recently I completed rigorous training in animal chiropractic and I look forward to working with Santa Barbara veterinarians to care for our four legged friends (dogs and horses primarily 😉).

Besides chiropractic… I’ve been a runner most of my life. My first race was a five mile race in my hometown of Canby, MN when I was ~10 years old. I ran competitively in both high school and college (Moorhead State University). I’m a member of the Moorhead State University Athletic Hall of Fame from being a member of the 1991 cross country team. After college I competed in many road races from 5k’s to marathons. At this point, I don’t race, but I continue to run ~5 days a week, just to stay in shape, and honestly - I just love it (crazy right?).

For the past ~13 years I’ve been dancing Argentine tango. I primarily dance in Los Angeles and around the world going to weekend events called festivals or marathons where it’s non-stop social dancing. As I’ve advanced in my dance, I have become a tango DJ and teacher.

Lastly, I’m a social introvert (is that a thing?) who loves people (and animals, also a vegetarian 🙃) and cherishes my family and friends! 😅

Now tell me a little about yourself!

Your body is a masterpiece of natural healing. Hippocrates said it best: “The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well.”🌿⚡️

Chiropractic care plays an amazing role in enhancing this incredible healing force! 💥💪🏽 Your nerve system, the body’s ultimate communication network, controls everything - from heartbeats to digestion. When it’s in tip-top shape, your body can perform at its absolute best.

Misalignments, or subluxations, in your spine can disrupt this communication flow. 🔃 Chiropractic adjustments gently realign those vertebrae, ensuring a smooth pathway for nerve signals to travel.

Think of it as a tune-up for your body’s innate healing mechanisms.💫 With every adjustment, you’re giving your body the chance to heal, thrive, and shine.

So, let’s celebrate the marvel of your body’s natural healing power and the role chiropractic care plays in letting it shine bright.☀️

Call (805) 364-3223 for an appointment or message us with any questions.

(This goes for your animals too! 😉)

Happy Chiropractic Founder’s Day! 🎉

Today we celebrate the first adjustment of Dr. DD Palmer, the visionary behind the chiropractic profession. Over a century ago, he made a revolutionary discovery - the incredible power of the spine and nerve system in promoting health and healing.

Chiropractic Founder’s Day reminds us of our commitment to restoring nerve system function. It’s about unlocking the body’s innate potential to heal itself, without relying on drugs or surgery. It’s a day to honor the incredible chiropractors who continue to make a difference in people’s lives every day.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the gift of chiropractic care and its positive impact on our health and well-being. 💥

Coming to the Santa Barbara area, a licensed animal chiropractor… horses and dogs primarily and let’s talk about your other animal friends.

Hello Santa Barbara!

The office is open today from 3-6pm. The rest of the week the office will be closed. I’m going to module 3 of 5 to get certified in animal chiropractic.

This is Lacey. I had the pleasure of checking her spine today. I think she wanted another German Horse Muffin! 😂

A special “Thank you” to Hearts () for allowing me to practice my what I’m learning at school!! 🙏🏼

I hope it does get bigger! So far I'm very much enjoying working with dogs and horses (Disclaimer: not adjusting quite yet - just feeling for motion in joints 😇).

There are more than 148 million pet owners in the U.S. You should consider animal chiropractic as an option if you'd like to treat more than just humans.

Doing some research! Thanks for the nice ride Ribbon! I hope to come back to check your spine for subluxations. 😊

02/13/2023

Soon to be adding a new demographic to the practice! 😊 Will be adding horses and dogs (maybe cats 😬) starting in June.
In the mean time I need to get my hands on some dogs and horses if you’re an owner or know of one that would allow me to check them out drop me a DM!

Did you know…
127 years ago today the very first chiropractic adjustment was performed? Daniel David Palmer adjusted Harvey Lillard on September 18, 1895. And you might be surprised to hear that it wasn’t for back or neck pain!
Do you know what was bothering Mr. Lillard? Guess 👇🏼

Did you know that only 11% of Americans receive chiropractic care yet 62% of Americans go to the dentist for routine care of their teeth?
Why is getting adjusted just as important as brushing your teeth and going to a dentist, you ask?
Well, your spine protects and surrounds your spinal cord which is a part of your nerve system. Nerves branch out from your spinal cord to every single cell, organ and tissue in the body. This is how your brain communicates with EVERYTHING in your body. This is how your heart beats, your lungs breathe, your food digests, your muscles react and ultimately the road map to keeping you alive.
What do you think happens when a spinal bone is out of place? That bone puts pressure on those same nerves that keep everything going. When that happens, the proper nerve messages don’t get to the body parts and causes decreased function. Your body may not be working at its best without you even knowing it. Crazy right?!
Getting your spine checked is one of the best ways to allowing your body to function at its best - giving years to your life and life to your years!
We are here to serve you!

Letter “N” explanation of chiropractic.. it’s as simple as that!
1. Chiropractic deals with human performance
2. Every level of human performance is controlled by body chemistry
3. Body chemistry is controlled by the glands whose job it is to make chemicals
4. All the glands are controlled by the nerve system
5. The nerve system is protected by the bones of the spine
- A SUBUXATION OCCURS -
1. A vertebral subluxation is a bone over which the body has lost some of its control
2. The position of the bone irritates the nerves
3. Irritated nerves disrupt gland function
4. Improper gland function disrupts body chemistry
5. Disrupted body chemistry decreases performance levels
- A CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT IS GIVEN -
1. A chiropractic adjustment restores proper bony position
2. Proper position of the bone removes nerve irritation
3. Restored nerve control allows for normal gland function
4. Proper gland production balances body chemistry
5. Proper/balanced body chemistry increases performance

When we talk about working out or eating healthy we all know one time in the gym and one healthy meal is not going to give us the results we want.

Chiropractic care is no different. Every visit builds on the previous one. So remember, wellness is not ONE event, it is a way of life. Let’s do this together!
