Align Your Spine and Feel Fantastic!

Hi Vitalité Family,

I’m back from President’s Day weekend — and after a few days on the slopes with my son, I’m happy to report that the memories are great… and the muscles are questionable. 😅

Whether you were skiing, shoveling snow, chasing kids, or just surviving the cold with your shoulders up around your ears, winter has a sneaky way of putting extra wear and tear on our bodies.

❄️ Why winter hits differently

Cold weather makes muscles tighten.
We move less.
We sit more.
We hunch more.
And suddenly that “little stiffness” becomes headaches, neck tension, low back pain, or that nagging shoulder that won’t quit.

Most people assume this is normal for the season.
It’s common — but it’s not something you have to live with.

🔎 Winter Wear & Tear Check

This is the perfect time for a quick tune-up to:
• Restore mobility
• Reduce muscle tension
• Prevent small issues from becoming big ones
• Help you feel human again

Think of it as maintenance — like rotating your tires, but for your spine.

🌱 Spring is closer than it feels

Gardening, walking, travel, sports — the more prepared your body is now, the easier that transition will be. Patients who stay consistent through winter tend to move into spring with less pain and more energy.

📅 Let’s get you scheduled

If you’ve been meaning to come in, this is your sign.

Your future self (and your spring activities) will thank you.

Stay warm, stay moving,

It was a great honor to be part of the holistic team for the March For Peace monks. I’m grateful to support the walk in a small way, because when we care for the body and act with intention, we create space for peace. I hope it gives people a moment to reflect on our shared humanity, and to think about what binds us together rather than what separates us.

Love, Peace, Healing.

Dear Vitalité family,

This week comes with a little love, a little peace, and a little snow ⛷️—so we’ve got a few important updates to share.

💘 Valentine’s Day vibes
Whether you’re celebrating with a partner, friends, chocolate, or just some well-deserved self-care, we hope your Valentine’s Day is filled with love and good energy. A reminder that your spine also appreciates affection—gentle movement, good posture, and yes… regular adjustments 😉

☮️ Early closure today – March for Peace
We will be closing early this afternoon so I can join a medical team supporting the monks participating in the March for Peace. It’s truly an honor to help care for bodies that are carrying such a powerful message of compassion and healing. Thank you for understanding and supporting this meaningful work.

Long weekend schedule
To give everyone (including our nervous systems) a little reset:

Closed Friday for the long weekend

Closed Monday (President’s Day)

And yes—full disclosure—I’ll be taking my son on a ski trip on Monday ❄️⛷️. Core memories!

📅 Plan ahead
If you’d like to get adjusted before the weekend, appointments are filling quickly—so now’s a great time to snag a spot. Your future self (and spine) will thank you.

As always, thank you for being part of this community. We’re grateful for your flexibility, your trust, and the good energy you bring into the office every day.

With love, peace, and good alignment,
Dr. Jean-Luc

P.S. Regular hours resume after the holiday—refreshed, realigned, and possibly a little sore from skiing 😄

We’ve officially moved—and yes, it’s that exciting.

Vitalité Chiropractic is now fully settled into our new home at:
1530 Wilson Blvd, Suite 1040, Arlington, VA

Same Rosslyn neighborhood.
Same care you trust.
✨ Much better digs. ✨

The dust has settled, the plants are thriving, the fish are judging us quietly, and we are 100% operational and ready to adjust spines in a space that finally feels like us.

Think:

More calm

More light

More “ahhh” the moment you walk in

And the same hands-on care that keeps you moving well

We are genuinely excited for you to see it—and even more excited to get you on the table in this new space.

👉 If it’s been a while, this is your sign.
👉 If you’re due for an adjustment, now’s the perfect time.
👉 If you just want an excuse to see the new office… we support that.

Appointments are open and filling quickly, so go ahead and grab yours before your spine starts sending passive-aggressive reminders.

We can’t wait to welcome you to our new home.

Warmly (and slightly giddy),
Dr. Jean-Luc & the Vitalité Chiropractic team

Dear Vitalité Family,

Today we pause to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a man who reminded us that progress is not passive. It requires intention, courage, and—most importantly—movement forward, even when the path isn’t perfectly smooth.

Which brings us to… our new office. 😉

We’re happy to report that construction and remodeling are right on schedule, and we are officially on track for our grand opening on Monday, February 2nd at our new location. Walls are going up, floors are going down, and no one has adjusted a spine with a hammer (yet). Progress everywhere.

Dr. King famously said, “If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl—but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.”

That philosophy applies just as much to healing as it does to history. Whether your body is flying, walking, or crawling its way toward better function, consistency and forward motion matter—and we’re honored to be part of that journey with you.

As we head into February and settle into our new space, appointments are already filling, so we encourage you to schedule your upcoming visits now to secure times that work best for you—especially if you’re aiming for those popular before- or after-work slots.

Thank you for your patience, your trust, and your continued support as we build a space designed to serve you even better. We can’t wait to welcome you into the new office very soon.

Until then, keep moving forward (preferably with good posture).

Warmly,
Dr. Jean-Luc Sansfaute
Vitalité Chiropractic

P.S. Yes, February 2nd is a Monday. Yes, it will be glorious. 🏗️✨

February 2nd 2026

Hello Vitalité Family,

It’s official. The boxes are ready, the bubble wrap is plentiful, and our spines are (ironically) going to need extra adjusting…
Vitalité Chiropractic is moving! 🎉

📍 Our New Address

1530 Wilson Blvd, Suite 1040
And we’ll be fully up and running there starting Monday, February 2nd, 2026.

⛔ Temporary Closure (Very Important!)

To make this move smooth and safe for all our equipment (and our backs),
we will be CLOSED Friday 01/30 and Saturday 01/31
so we can transfer everything and be 100% operational by Monday.

🖼️ Office Art & Furniture — Want a Deal?

Before we go, we’re lightening the load:

Artwork from the walls

IKEA cubby furniture

Waiting room chairs

Massage tables

If anything catches your eye, ask David — he’s ready to make you a very good deal.

👀 Sneak Peek Below

Scroll down for a preview of the new space as it’s being transformed to match our style, flow, and patient experience.
(Yes… it’s going to be worth it.)

📅 Friendly Reminder

With the move and reopening, appointments will fill quickly, so don’t wait:
👉 Schedule your next visit now and secure your spot in the new office.

New space. Same care. Same mission. Just a little more elbow room. 😉

We can’t wait to welcome you to our new home.

With excitement (and a sore back),
Dr. Jean-Luc & the Vitalité Chiropractic Team

P.S. First adjustment in the new office might come with extra bragging rights. Just saying.

We're moving!

Dear Vitalité Family,

Big news — Vitalité Chiropractic is moving up in the world. Literally. 😄

After many wonderful years at 1600 Wilson Blvd, our lease is coming to an end, and that means it’s time for our next chapter. Very soon, we’ll be opening our doors at our new home just down the street:

📍 1530 Wilson Blvd — 10th Floor (Top Floor!) suite 1040. Closer to the Rosslyn metro station, and conveniently nestled between Target and Safeway.
maps.app.goo.gl/kaW9Jg7myc2XmeT56

Same neighborhood. Same care. Much better view.

This beautiful Class A building will give us a brighter, more modern space — and yes, being on the top floor does feel a little like we finally earned our penthouse status. 🏙️✨

As for 1600 Wilson? Its future is… let’s say flexible (and not the chiropractic kind). With ownership changes and redevelopment rumors swirling, we decided it was the perfect time to proactively upgrade — so your care continues uninterrupted in a space that reflects where Vitalité is headed.

What to expect:

✅ Same doctor

✅ Same team

✅ Same approach to care

➕ New space

➕ New energy

➕ New views

We’ll be taking a couple of days off at the end of the month to make the move smooth and seamless, and then we’ll be right back to our normal schedule before you know it.
📅 Exact dates coming very soon — stay tuned!

One more thing…

If there’s anything you’d love to see in the new office — a feature, a vibe, a small touch that would make your visits even better — now is the time to tell us!
📧 Email us or 📱 text us — we’re all ears.

And of course, if you’ve been meaning to get back on the schedule, this is your friendly reminder that your spine doesn’t care about moving timelines 😉 — let’s keep you feeling great through the transition.

Chiropractic adds life to years and years to life — and we can’t wait to welcome you to the next evolution of Vitalité.

With excitement (and a little bubble wrap),

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from all of us at Vitalité Chiropractic! 🎉

A new year always brings that familiar mix of hope, resolutions, and the quiet realization that time somehow moves faster than our hamstrings. This past year came with its share of twists, turns, and occasional plot twists none of us asked for—but here we are, standing (hopefully upright) and moving forward together.

As we step into the New Year, we’re reminded of one of our favorite truths: Chiropractic adds life to years and years to life. It’s not about chasing perfection—it’s about staying mobile, resilient, and capable of doing the things you love without your body staging a rebellion.

And after a year that saw plenty of turmoil, this feels especially fitting:
“Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.”
We’ll take that both literally and figuratively.

Thank you for trusting us with your care, your spines, and occasionally your very dramatic muscle stories. Your commitment to your health is what makes our work meaningful—and fun.

📅 Office Hours Update:
• We will be closed on New Year’s Day
• We’ll be back to our regular hours on Friday and Saturday

Here’s to a year of better balance, fewer aches, more movement, and just enough flexibility to handle whatever 2026 throws our way.

With gratitude and a perfectly aligned sense of humor,
Dr. Jean-Luc Sansfaute

Dear Vitalité Family,

As the year gently winds down and the holiday season surrounds us with lights, warmth, and reflection, I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to each and every one of you.

Thank you for trusting us with your health, for showing up for yourselves week after week, and for allowing our office to be part of your wellness journey. Whether you’ve been with us for years or just recently joined our community, please know how deeply appreciative we are of you. Your support, kindness, conversations, and commitment to your well-being are what give life and purpose to what we do every day.

We truly hope this holiday season brings you moments of joy, meaningful connection, rest, laughter, and warmth—whatever that looks like for you and those you love. May it be a time to recharge, reflect, and step into the new year feeling supported and cared for.

Office hours this week:

We are open with our regular hours today, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday.

I will be at our Bethesda location on Wednesday morning only, until 1:00 PM.

As always, we’re here if you need us, and we look forward to continuing to care for you through the holidays and into the new year.

With heartfelt thanks and warm holiday wishes,
Dr. Jean-Luc Sansfaute and David

“Don’t let the cold turn you into a hunchbacked snowman—your chiropractor has your back (literally).”

It’s official: the DMV has turned into the Arctic, and your spine is filing complaints. Between the wind tunnels and icy sidewalks, your back might be wishing it had fur like a polar bear—or at least the balance of a penguin.

Here’s how to keep your body upright and your humor intact while braving the frost:

Layer Like a Pro – Puffy jackets are great, but make sure your shoulders aren’t rounding into a permanent “penguin posture.” Chin up, chest out, strut like the majestic (and slightly less slippery) creatures you are.

Warm Up Indoors – Even a quick stretch at home keeps muscles from freezing into icicles. Think of it as practicing your snow-dance before the big migration to the chiropractor.

Hydrate, Even in the Cold – Your muscles still need water to move properly. Hot cocoa helps, but maybe balance it with some good ol’ H₂O… or you’ll end up waddling like an over-caffeinated penguin.

Mind the Ice – Slipping is not a fun new chiropractic technique. Short, careful steps help prevent accidental encounters with rogue polar bears—or worse, your neighbor’s aggressively fluffy golden retriever.

Schedule a Tune-Up – If the cold’s already got your back singing the blues, swing by for an adjustment. Think of it as your personal warming station… without the hot cocoa stains.

Remember: you may see penguins, polar bears, or snowmen on your commute (you're probably just delirious from the cold), but your spine doesn’t have to suffer. Keep it mobile, warm, and upright—you’ve got this.

Stay frosty (but not frozen),
Dr. Jean-Luc Sansfaute & the Vitalité Chiropractic Team

A day that comes but once a year… just like your reminder to use your HSA before it evaporates into the bureaucratic abyss.

Dear Patients,

Today is National Health Savings Account (HSA) Day, and while that may not sound as exciting as National Donut Day (trust me, we’re disappointed too), it is the day your HSA politely taps you on the shoulder and whispers:

“Use me before I expire… or lose me forever.”

And we don’t want that for you. Or for your spine.

⭐ Here’s the good news:

Your HSA loves being used at Vitalité Chiropractic.
And we love giving it a good home.

You can use those pre-tax dollars for:
✔ Chiropractic adjustments
✔ Follow-up visits
✔ Rehab services
✔ Custom-made orthotics (YES — fully HSA-eligible!)
✔ Your spine’s hopes, dreams, and long-overdue maintenance

⭐ Here’s the bad news:

Your HSA will not remind you.
It will simply… disappear.
Like that one sock in the dryer.

⭐ Here’s the even better news:

We have openings this week — a rare cosmic alignment — and we’d love to get you in.

🎯 Need orthotics?

This is the moment.
Your feet take 8,000–10,000 steps a day; they deserve more than the sadness of flat pharmacy inserts.
Your HSA can cover the entire cost of our custom, 3D-scanned, made-for-you orthotics — the same ones that save knees, hips, and lower backs from future drama.

🔥 Call to Action

Book your appointment by clicking the button below👇
Or call/text David ☎️📱he loves hearing from you!

Bottom line:

Your HSA wants to be used.
Your spine wants to be adjusted.
Your feet want orthotics.
And we want to see you this week.
Everybody wins.

See you soon!
Dr. Jean-Luc Sansfaute & the Vitalité Chiropractic Team

🦃 Don’t Let Thanksgiving Take You Out Before the Turkey Does

Hello Vitalité Family,

Thanksgiving is coming—and with it, the annual triathlon known as Cooking–Traveling–Surviving Your Relatives.

Before we get into it, an important announcement:

📌 I will be out of the office from Thursday 11/27 to Monday 12/1 (included).
📌 Normal hours resume Tuesday 12/2.
📌 Translation: If you want to be physically prepared for the holiday mayhem, now is the moment to get in.

🥧 Why You Need Your Chiropractor Before Thanksgiving

1. The “Turkey Deadlift”
That 18-lb bird isn't lifting itself. And if you insist on yanking it out of the oven with a twist-and-pray maneuver, your low back will be the first to say, “Absolutely not.”

2. The “Mashed Potato Marathon”
Whisking, mashing, stirring… your forearms, wrists, and shoulders did not sign up for CrossFit. A quick tune-up may save you from waking up Friday feeling like you arm-wrestled a Viking.

3. The “Airport Core Workout”
Luggage. Overhead bins. Sprinting through Terminal B because a mysterious gate change happened at the last second.
Travel season is nature's way of testing your spinal alignment. And nature usually wins—unless your chiropractor helps first.

4. The “Relative Stress Reflex”
You know the one. The shoulders-to-ears posture that happens the moment someone says, “So, when are you going to settle down?” or “Have you been exercising?”
We can’t control your family, but we can lower your stress response and keep your neck mobile enough to look in the opposite direction.

🦃 Beat the Rush Before I’m Gone

Appointments before Thanksgiving fill up faster than a kid’s plate at the dessert table. If you want to:

Avoid a low back revolt

Survive travel week

Have at least one body part that feels grateful

Or simply get ahead of the gravy-induced inflammation

…now’s the time.

Call, text, email, or carrier pigeon David (our ever-faithful chiropractic assistant), and we’ll get you in before I’m off from 11/27 through 12/1.

I’m grateful for each of you, and I look forward to keeping you upright, mobile, and festive this season.

Have a wonderful (and well-aligned) Thanksgiving,
Dr. Jean-Luc Sansfaute
Vitalité Chiropractic — Arlington & Bethesda
