Do you find yourself doom scrolling, irritable, and can’t sleep?!?

Let’s talk about WHY…

📲 But first, make sure your following us and drop an emoji below so we know you’re here! ⬇️

Your nervous system is the ultimate conductor of your body’s symphony, orchestrating every heartbeat, breath, and movement without you even having to think about it.

Dysregulation refers to an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system, where the sympathetic system dominates.

This can occur due to chronic stress or traumas leading to a heightened state of alertness and tension.

Physically, you may experience increased muscle tension, headaches, digestive problems, and even a weakened immune system.

Emotionally, it can lead to anxiety, mood swings, irritability, and difficulty focusing.

Scrolling our phones gives us a hit of dopamine, temporarily “masking” our discomfort. But as soon as we put our phones down, not only does everything come back, but now we’re chasing that level of dopamine the rest of the day.

Chiropractic adjustments play a vital role in restoring balance to the nervous system, not just giving us temporary numbing.

Many patients report feeling lighter, more at ease, and better able to cope with stress after an adjustment!

So if you think you’re feeling fine, but spend time doom-scrolling and struggle to sleep at night, it’s time to get an adjustment!

The demands of work life bring a unique kind of stress ➡️ endless emails, tight deadlines, back-to-back meetings.

But here’s what you might not realize: all that stress isn’t just mental, it’s showing up in your body too.

Sound familiar?
👉 Tight shoulders from hunching over your computer
👉 Tension headaches from staring at screens all day
👉 Fatigue from constant mental pressure
👉 That persistent knot in your neck that won’t go away

Your body is trying to tell you something!

This is where chiropractic care becomes essential. We don’t just address physical discomfort—we help regulate your nervous system’s response to stress. Gentle adjustments help lower stress hormones and activate your body’s natural “rest and digest” mode.

At Avid Health and Wellness Chiropractic, we take a whole body approach to wellness care. Our goal is to help you feel more balanced, energized, and resilient.

Because when you take care of yourself, you’re better equipped to excel in your career.

The 4th trimester doesn't get nearly enough attention. 🫶🏼

Those first 3 months after birth? Your body is healing, your baby is adjusting, and both of your nervous systems are in major transition.

Here's what we know: When alignment is supported during this phase, everything gets easier. Babies sleep better, feed better, and cry less. Mamas heal faster and feel stronger.

Are you lying in bed at night trying to sleep, but your mind keeps racing?!?

We’ve all been there. Thoughts are racing in a mile a minute, and you’re trying to do your box breathing to help calm yourself down. You look at the clock and an hour has gone by.

I hear this all. the. time.

When you’re stressed, your nervous system pumps out adrenaline and cortisol (prepping you to be ready to fight a bear). But there is no bear in our day to day. Just endless to-do lists, constant responsibilities, and fear of failure.

This constant stress keeps your system fired up, and an overload can trigger a shutdown response. Think of it as a safety switch. Your body prioritizes survival by putting non-essential functions on hold.

If you’re experiencing ⬇️
😶‍🌫️ Brain fog- memory and focus take a hit
💤 Exhaustion- even basics tasks feel overwhelming
😫 Aches and pains - tight muscles and headaches have become common

…then come to our chiropractic office in 📍 Wayzata, MN 📍

We can help reset your nervous system!

Your body was designed to heal and restore balance. Gentle chiropractic adjustments optimize your nervous system’s function by addressing spinal misalignments (subluxations) that may interfere with nerve communication.

If you’re looking for a natural and effective way to manage your stress and get back to feeling like you again, call us at 952)215-9411 to get scheduled!

Does your little one act like bedtime is a personal attack? You’re definitely not the only one!

What many parents don’t realize is that sleep struggles often trace back to an overwhelmed, overactive nervous system. Think of it like this: your little one’s body has two gears…

1️⃣ Go-go-go (sympathetic mode)
2️⃣ Rest and digest (parasympathetic mode)

Here are some signs your little one might be stuck in that “go” gear:

👶 Fighting naps even when they’re exhausted
👶 Trouble settling down at bedtime
👶 Frequent night wakings
👶 Waking up way too early
👶 Restless or light sleep

Daily bumps and falls, big developmental leaps, routine changes, and even tummy discomfort can all add up and overwhelm their nervous system.

When those stressors mix with spinal misalignments that affect nerve function, their little bodies can have a hard time shifting into “rest” mode when it’s time to sleep.

Gentle pediatric chiropractic adjustments can help calm and balance the nervous system, making it easier for your toddler’s body to transition into deep, restful sleep.

Many parents in my practice notice deeper, more consistent sleep after regular care. Sweet dreams really are possible. 😴

Ready to help your little one sleep better? Give us a call to schedule their visit today!

Thank you for the inspo!

A chronically elevated fight-or-flight response is common in this day and age. 😅

And this can wreak havoc on our mental *and* physical health. It can lead to depression, anxiety, frequent colds, and more.

During fight-or-flight, your heart rate increases, your pupils dilate, and you’re on high alert.

Plus, anything your body doesn’t need for survival comes to a grinding halt.

Digestion, reproductive growth hormone production, and tissue repair are all put on the back burner, according to The Cleveland Clinic.

But, our bodies weren’t designed to *stay* in fight-or-flight for more than a few hours.

What can you do?

You can try to avoid negative stressors, but that’s not always realistic.

Instead, prioritize improving the internal resilience of your body so stress doesn’t knock you off-kilter!

Which one of these three tips will you try?
