Your bones are living tissue — they need movement to stay strong.

When you sit too long, your bones stop getting the signals that tell them to rebuild.

Over time, that lack of stress leads to bone loss, weaker muscles, and a higher risk of falls.

But you don’t have to hit the gym every day to protect your bones. Regular walking, light weights, yoga, or even short stretch breaks can make a big difference.

Movement truly is medicine—for your muscles, your balance, and your bones.

Here in our Aptos office, our chiropractors help you keep your body moving safely and confidently. Book online and let’s keep you strong for all the years ahead. 💜

Constipation can make babies miserable — and parents worried.

Many families are surprised to learn that gentle chiropractic adjustments can help stimulate digestion and relieve tension in the spine and abdomen.

We often see results right away — sometimes even before baby leaves the office!

And the best part? No medications, just gentle, natural support for your baby’s comfort.

Come see us in Aptos for compassionate, expert infant care.

If there’s one movement I wish every single patient would do every day, it’s Cat-Cow.
It’s simple, it’s gentle, and it gives your spine the kind of nourishment it’s begging for—especially if you’ve been sitting, stressing, or holding tension in your body (aka… all of us).

Here’s why I love it so much:

• It brings flexibility back into your spine, neck, and shoulders—those places that stiffen up the minute life gets overwhelming.
• It melts tension in your upper, mid, and lower back and gives your neck some sweet relief.
• It opens the chest, belly, and hips, helping your posture rebalance and reducing those aches you keep ignoring.
• It gently strengthens the arms, wrists, and spinal support muscles so your posture holds better throughout the day.
• It gives your organs a little massage, supporting digestion and the whole abdominal system.
• When you pair it with slow, intentional breathing, it shifts your nervous system out of fight-or-flight and into calm.
• It builds body awareness—helping you feel where you’re tight, where you’re compensating, and where your spine needs attention.
• And it’s the perfect warm-up before a workout, a walk, or even a long day at your desk.

When you do Cat-Cow regularly, your spine moves better, your posture improves, your stress softens, and your whole body just… exhales.

Birth is a big transition — for both baby and mom.

Just moving from a weightless world inside the womb to the pull of gravity outside can leave your baby’s tiny body tense and unsettled. That tension can show up as difficulty feeding, fussiness, or trouble sleeping.

Birth trauma can come from compression during delivery or use of tools like forceps or vacuum. These things can affect an infant's spine and create discomfort.

Gentle chiropractic care helps babies release that stress, allowing their nervous systems to adjust to life outside the womb — and helping feeding feel easier for everyone.

Come see us in Aptos. We love helping families find calm again.

Birth is Intense. Some babies need relief from birth-related discomfort.

During birth, babies goes through seven major physical twists, turns, and compressions.

This process pulls, pushes, and twists the baby. A baby's head, neck, and spine receive a lot of tension during birth as a result.

Learn about the conditions babies can get from just being born, and how Dr. Goldi can make them feel more comfortable.

When it comes to bone health, calcium and vitamin D are your best friends.

If you don’t get enough calcium from food, your body borrows it from your bones—that contributes to bone weakness.

When it comes to calcium, aim for:
1,000 mg daily if you’re under 50
1,200 mg daily if you’re over 50

Good sources of calcium include dairy or fortified plant milks, tofu, salmon with bones, sardines, kale, and figs.

Vitamin D helps your gut absorb that calcium and keeps your muscles strong. You can get vitamin D from sunshine, supplements, or foods like fatty fish, egg yolks, and butter.

Most adults need 600–1,000 IU of vitamin D per day.

You can help your bones stay strong and avoid bone loss with nutrition.

And if you're in pain and worried about your weak bones, you can still come see us. At Golden Chirorpactic we use gentle techniques to help keep you moving confidently through life.

Did you know tongue-tied babies can develop jaw tension?

When the tongue can’t move freely, babies recruit other muscles to feed. Over time, that can make their jaw and neck tight — and feeding even harder.

Gentle chiropractic adjustments help release that tension, supporting better movement, comfort, and coordination.

A relaxed baby feeds better, sleeps better, and feels better.

We can help your baby feel better at Golden Chiropractic in Aptos.
