Q: Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?

A: Yes—when performed by a trained chiropractor, prenatal chiropractic care is considered safe and beneficial for most pregnancies. It can help relieve common discomforts, such as back pain, pelvic pressure, and postural changes, as your body adapts. Many chiropractors utilize gentle, pregnancy-specific techniques and may have specialized equipment, such as pregnancy pillows or tables.

Chiropractic care can be a supportive part of your prenatal wellness plan, helping you feel more balanced, aligned, and ready for your baby.

3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
⅔ cup canned pumpkin puree
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder

Powdered sugar (for dusting)
For the filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened

Muscle spasms don’t care if you’re juggling work, kids, or just trying to get through the day. One wrong twist, one stressful moment, and suddenly your back seizes or your neck locks up. For parents constantly on the move, it’s more than inconvenient—it’s disruptive.
Spasms occur when muscles contract involuntarily, often in response to stress, fatigue, poor posture, or overuse. Lifting toddlers, leaning over changing tables, or working long hours at a desk can all contribute to back pain. And once a spasm hits, it can throw off your whole rhythm—making it harder to sleep, drive, or even sit comfortably.
Chiropractic care can help. Gentle adjustments restore spinal alignment and reduce tension in the surrounding muscles. That means less nerve irritation, better mobility, and fewer painful flare-ups. When your body’s aligned, muscles don’t have to overcompensate or strain to keep you upright. Some parents notice a faster recovery, fewer recurring spasms, and even better energy once their bodies start moving more freely.
You don’t have to push through the pain or wait for it to pass. If muscle spasms are slowing you down, we’re here to help. Reach out anytime—we’ll walk you through how chiropractic care can support your comfort, movement, and daily li.

“It takes 65 muscles to frown and 13 to make a smile. Why work overtime?” — B.J. Palmer
This quote is more than clever—it’s a reminder that tension, stress, and misalignment don’t just affect your mood, they show up in your body, too.
When your nervous system is under pressure, your muscles often take the hit. You might clench your jaw, hunch your shoulders, or carry tension in your neck and back without even realizing it. Over time, that “overtime” can lead to headaches, fatigue, poor posture, and yes—even more frowns.
Chiropractic care helps break that cycle. Gentle adjustments restore alignment, reduce muscle tension, and support better communication between your brain and body. When your spine is moving well, your muscles don’t have to overcompensate. That means less strain, more ease, and a body that feels lighter—inside and out.
Bonus: When your nervous system is balanced, your mood often follows. Many people report feeling calmer, more focused, and even a little happier after an adjustment. It’s not magic—it’s physiology.
So if you’ve been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders (literally), maybe it’s time to give those 65 frown muscles a break. Let’s help your body smile from the inside out. Book your next adjustment today.

Headaches during pregnancy aren’t just annoying—they can be downright exhausting. One minute you’re fine, the next your head’s pounding and you’re wondering if it’s hormones, stress, or just your body doing its own thing. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Hormonal changes—especially shifts in estrogen and progesterone—can trigger headaches, particularly in the first and third trimesters. Add in disrupted sleep, posture changes, and the extra strain on your spine and muscles, and it’s no wonder your head’s protesting. Even dehydration or dips in blood sugar can exacerbate the situation.

Chiropractic care can help. Gentle, pregnancy-safe adjustments support spinal alignment and ease tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back—areas that often contribute to headaches. When your spine’s aligned, your nervous system functions better, circulation improves, and pressure on sensitive areas can ease up. That means fewer headaches, less tightness, and more comfort throughout your day. Some moms-to-be even notice better sleep and less overall stress once their body starts moving more freely.

You don’t have to push through or chalk it up to “normal pregnancy stuff.” Our team’s here to support you with safe, effective care that helps you feel more like yourself. Reach out anytime—we’re here to help you through this season with comfort and care.

“The master system of the body is the nervous system, and all health depends on its proper function.” — D.D. Palmer

Your nervous system isn’t just important—it’s foundational. It’s the command center that controls every breath, heartbeat, movement, and healing response. When it’s working well, your body can adapt, recover, and thrive. When it’s under stress, everything else can feel off.

That’s why chiropractic care focuses on the spine. Your spine protects the spinal cord, which is the main highway for nerve signals between your brain and body. Misalignments—called subluxations—can interfere with these signals, leading to pain, fatigue, digestive issues, and other health problems. It’s not just about bones—it’s about communication.

Chiropractic adjustments help restore alignment, reduce nerve interference, and support your body’s natural healing ability. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, stress, or just want to feel more balanced, chiropractic care helps your nervous system do its job—so you can do yours. This isn’t about chasing symptoms. It’s about supporting the system that supports everything else.

If you’ve been feeling out of sync, sluggish, or just not quite yourself, your nervous system might be asking for help. Chiropractic care is a gentle, effective way to tune in, realign, and reconnect.
Let’s support the master system—because when your nervous system thrives, so do you.

When kids keep getting sick, it wears everyone down. One cold turns into another ear infection, then a lingering cough, and before you know it, they’ve missed more school days than playdates. If your child seems to catch everything going around, you’re not imagining it—and you’re definitely not alone.

Recurrent illnesses can occur for various reasons, including a still-developing immune system, stress, poor sleep, or even miscommunication between the brain and body. The nervous system plays a significant role in immune function, and when it’s under stress—such as from spinal misalignment—it can make it harder for the body to recover or fight off new infections.

Chiropractic care can help. Gentle, kid-safe adjustments support spinal alignment and help the nervous system function more efficiently. This means improved communication between the brain and immune system, enhanced drainage from the ears and sinuses, and reduced overall body tension. Some parents notice fewer sick days, improved sleep, and a more resilient child after consistent care. It’s not a magic fix—it’s about helping the body do what it’s designed to do.

If your child’s stuck in the cycle of sniffles and sick days, we’re here to help. Reach out anytime—we’ll walk you through how chiropractic care can support their health and development.

Tingling, burning, or numbness in the feet and hands isn’t just annoying—it can make everyday life harder than it needs to be. Peripheral neuropathy affects many senior women, and it’s often brushed off as “just part of aging.” But that doesn’t mean you have to live with it.

Neuropathy happens when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord get damaged. It can be caused by diabetes, past injuries, poor circulation, or even certain medications. Over time, it can affect balance, coordination, and confidence—especially when walking or performing fine-motor tasks. And when your nerves aren’t communicating well, your whole body feels out of sync.

Chiropractic care can help. Gentle adjustments support spinal alignment and reduce pressure on the nervous system, helping to improve the way signals travel between the brain and body. That means better coordination, less discomfort, and more ease in movement.

Some women also notice improved circulation, steadier walking, and fewer instances of “pins and needles.” It’s not a cure—but it’s a way to support your body’s natural function and help you feel more in control.

If neuropathy’s been slowing you down, we’re here to help. Call or message anytime—we’ll walk you through how chiropractic care can support your comfort, mobility, and quality of life.

Hip pain in women is more common than most people realize. Whether it’s a dull ache or a sharp jab, it can make walking, sitting, or sleeping harder than it should be. If that’s been happening to you, you’re not imagining it—and you’re not alone.
Hormonal shifts, especially around menopause, can affect joint health. Past injuries, childbirth, or even long hours sitting at work can lead to misalignment and muscle imbalances. Sometimes it’s arthritis, bursitis, or wear and tear from years of movement. When hip muscles tighten or weaken, they can pull the pelvis out of alignment, adding strain. And when your hips aren’t moving well, your lower back, knees, and posture often suffer too.
Chiropractic care can help. Gentle adjustments and targeted exercises improve alignment, reduce inflammation, and ease pressure on irritated joints and nerves. That means better mobility, less pain, and fewer “ugh” moments when you stand up or roll out of bed.
When your hips are aligned, your muscles don’t have to overcompensate, which helps everything move more smoothly. It can also improve how your body responds to stress and movement, making everyday tasks feel less like a workout. Some women even notice better sleep and increased energy once their pain begins to ease.
You don’t have to just deal with it or wait for it to pass. Our team is here to help you move more easily, sleep better, and feel more like yourself again. Reach out today—we’ll walk you through how chiropractic care can support your hips, your comfort, and your overall well-being.

Hand stiffness can sneak up on you. One day you’re gripping tools, swinging a golf club, or opening jars without a second thought—then suddenly, your fingers feel tight, slow, or just plain stubborn. If that’s been happening more often, it’s not just age—it’s joint changes, and they’re common in senior men.

Years of wear and tear, past injuries, or arthritis can lead to reduced joint space, inflammation, and less flexibility in the hands and wrists. Even small shifts in alignment can affect how your fingers move and how your grip feels. And when your hands aren’t working the way they used to, everyday tasks can feel like a chore.

Chiropractic care can help. Gentle adjustments to the spine, shoulders, elbows, and wrists can improve alignment and reduce joint and surrounding tissue tension. That means better nerve flow, improved circulation, and less stiffness. When everything’s moving the way it should, your hands can feel stronger, more coordinated, and more responsive. Some men even notice better sleep and less overall discomfort as their bodies begin to function more smoothly.

You don’t have to just “deal with it.” If your hands are slowing you down, we’re here to help. Reach out anytime—we’ll walk you through how chiropractic care can support your mobility and help you stay active.
