Knowing that adjustments help locally (the joint adjusted improves its health), regionally (the muscles and structures nearby function better), and centrally (the brain can accurately respond to the information it is provided) can really help us understand the far reaching effects of Chiropractic care.

The central nervous system effect of the adjustment helps modulate our heart rate variability, which is a good indication of balance between our parasympathetic and sympathetic branches of our autonomic nervous system.

All those fancy words mean that it helps us shift away from survival related uses of our body (fight/flight) towards growth related uses (rest, healing, reproduction, etc.) - which is what many of us need in todays fast past world :)

🚶‍♀️🏃‍♂️💥 Your genes don’t have the final say—your movement does!

A major study followed people for nearly 7 years and found:
👉 The more moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) you do, the lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes — no matter your genetic risk!

✅ Compared to the least active folks:

5–25 min/day = 37% lower risk

26–68 min/day = 59% lower risk

68 min/day = 74% lower risk

🎯 Takeaway: Even if diabetes runs in your family, you can move your way to better health.

💡 Action tip: Find activities you enjoy — a daily walk, dance session, or bike ride — and build them into your life.

🐶 Imagine if I said this:

“I leave my dogs in cages all day. I feed them fast food, give them energy drinks when they look tired, and rarely take them out to move.”

You’d call the humane society, right? 💔

But what about us humans? We NEED daily movement, nourishing food, rest, and purpose. When we skip those things, we shouldn’t be surprised when our health suffers.

✨ Your body is designed for movement. Feed it what it needs!

🌙 Challenge of the Week:
Create a healthy bedtime routine. Evenings are often snack traps — try swapping chips for fruit 🍎 or skip snacking altogether. Set a screen-free wind-down time.

re Did you know that chiropractic care often produces BETTER long-term results than medication for chronic spinal pain?

A groundbreaking 2007 study by Senna & Machaly showed that patients who received chiropractic care had:

📉 Less pain
🛌 Better sleep
🏃‍♀️ More mobility
…even 1 YEAR later compared to those on meds alone!

Your body was designed to heal — chiropractic just helps remove the interference.

You don’t have to settle for temporary fixes.

Research from Dr. James Chestnut reminds us that health is about function, not just how we feel. Misalignments (subluxations) can interfere with nerve communication, and over time, that affects how your body functions.

✅ Better movement
✅ Stronger nervous system connection
✅ Improved adaptation to stress

Getting adjusted isn’t about chasing symptoms — it’s about building resilience. 💪

Let’s make future you proud.
