Let's be real - if you're catching every cold that goes around, dealing with constant sinus infections, or battling the flu multiple times a year, that's not just "bad luck" or "how winter works."

That's your body telling you it needs support.

Your immune system doesn't just run on vitamins and sleep. It's controlled by your nervous system.
Every immune response in your body - from white blood cell production to inflammation regulation - is coordinated through your brain and spinal cord. When there's interference in that communication (subluxations), your body can't defend itself the way it was designed to.

So why do we see more sickness in winter?
✗ Less sunlight = lower vitamin D
✗ More time indoors = increased exposure
✗ Holiday stress = nervous system overload
✗ Poor sleep & nutrition = weakened defenses
✗ Imbalances in the body from stress = immune interference

The good news? Your body knows how to protect itself. It just needs the right support.
When you're consistent with nervous system-focused chiropractic care, you're removing interference so your immune system can function at its best. That doesn't mean you'll never get sick - but it does mean your body is better equipped to fight off what comes your way.

Catching multiple colds a year? The flu every season?
Constant sinus infections?
That's not normal.
That's not "just how it is."
That's your nervous system asking for help.

You weren't designed to be sick all the time. Your immune system is incredibly intelligent - when it's supported properly.
Chiropractic care is here to support your immune system and keep you adaptive during the winter season.

Your immune system is always working for you. Let's make sure nothing's getting in its way.

Hormone disruptors aren’t always obvious—they’re often hiding in everyday products you use without thinking. Plastics, fragrances, cookware, cleaners, and even the food you eat can send mixed signals to your endocrine system.
These chemicals are called endocrine disruptors because they mimic or block natural hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones. The result? Imbalances that can show up as fatigue, mood swings, cycle changes, or metabolism struggles.
The good news: you don’t have to overhaul your entire home at once. Start with one swap at a time. Switch plastic water bottles for glass, trade scented candles for beeswax, or choose a natural cleaning spray free of synthetic fragrances and harsh chemicals.
And remember: your nervous system helps your body process and adapt to stressors like these. Chiropractic adjustments support your body’s ability to reset and regulate—giving your hormones the best chance to stay balanced. 🌿

The six-week postpartum checkup isn't the finish line - it's just the starting point.

You go to that appointment, get cleared, and everyone acts like your body just magically bounced back.

But mama, you know the truth.

Your back aches from nursing all day. Your neck is stiff from looking down at your baby. Your core feels weak. Your pelvic floor isn't quite right. And maybe you're struggling with postpartum anxiety or depression that no one prepared you for.

You were told your body would "go back to normal" after six weeks. But postpartum doesn't end at six weeks. It's a journey that lasts months - even years.

Here's what we see in our practice:
Postpartum moms who receive regular chiropractic care experience real, measurable improvements in both physical recovery AND mental health.
Why? Your nervous system controls everything. From your posture, pelvic floor, stress response, mood, energy, and your ability to regulate emotions when you're running on 3 hours of sleep.

When your body is in a state of balance and your nervous system is clear, your body can actually heal the way it's supposed to.
Not just physically - but emotionally, too.

We're not saying chiropractic care is the only thing you need postpartum.
You need support, rest, nourishment, and community.

But the foundation for taking in all of this support- is your nervous system. That's a piece too many moms are missing.
And it makes all the difference.

Swipe to see the 7 benefits we see in postpartum moms who commit to chiropractic care beyond those first six weeks.

If you're a mama struggling right now - whether you're 8 weeks postpartum or 8 years - your body still deserves support.

You don't have to just push through. You don't have to accept that "this is just mom life now."

You deserve to feel strong, grounded, and like yourself again.

Your anxiety and depression might not be "all in your head" - they might be in the first bone of your neck.

Here's what most people don't know:
Your vagus nerve - the nerve responsible for calming your body, regulating your mood, and helping you feel safe - runs directly past the first bone in your neck (C1).

When C1 is imbalanced, it creates interference in vagus nerve function. And when your vagus nerve isn't working optimally, your nervous system gets stuck in survival mode.

That's when you experience:
-Chronic anxiety (fight/flight)
-Depression (freeze/shutdown)
-Feeling "on edge" constantly
-Emotional overwhelm
-Physical tension that won't go away

This is called low vagal tone - and it's more common than ever in our overstimulated, dysregulated world.

The good news?
Research shows that specific chiropractic adjustments to C1 can improve vagus nerve function, increase vagal tone, and help shift your nervous system from survival mode back to a state of safety, calm, and connection.

Dr. Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory shows us that our nervous system moves through three states: safe & social, fight/flight, and freeze. Most people are stuck in the last two.
Chiropractic care helps activate that ventral vagal state - where you feel calm, connected, and like yourself again.

You weren't designed to live in constant stress. Your body is capable of healing - it just needs the right support.

Feeling like your energy is all over the place? Or maybe your sleep feels off, your mood is unpredictable, or your cycle has become harder to manage? 👀 Those are all signs your hormones may be needing extra support.
The tricky thing about hormones is they don’t work on their own—they respond to the rhythms of your daily life. Poor sleep? Cortisol gets thrown off. Skipped meals or sugar crashes? Insulin goes haywire. Constant stress? Your body may “borrow” from other hormones to keep up.
That’s why the basics matter so much:
✨ Consistent, restful sleep gives your hormones a chance to reset.
🥑 Balanced meals keep your energy stable (instead of up and down all day).
🚶 Movement helps your body process stress instead of storing it.
🌿 Chiropractic adjustments calm your nervous system so your body can shift out of fight-or-flight and into balance—making it easier for your hormones to regulate naturally.
You don’t have to do everything at once. Even one simple shift can start to ease the fatigue, brain fog, or mood swings that so many people just “push through.”

The winter blues aren't just in your head - they're in your nervous system.

When the seasons shift, your body has to adapt.
Less sunlight.
Colder temps.
Different routines.
And your nervous system is working overtime to keep up.

That's why you might be feeling:
😴 More tired than usual
😶‍🌫️ Foggy or unmotivated
😟 More anxious or down
🌙 Sleep disruptions
⚡ Lower energy

Most people don't realize our nervous system controls the hormones, sleep cycles, and stress responses that get thrown off during seasonal changes.

When there's interference in your nervous system (subluxations), your body struggles even MORE to adapt.

Chiropractic adjustments remove that interference - helping your nervous system regulate better, so you can:
✨ Sleep more soundly
✨ Feel more balanced emotionally
✨ Adapt to the season with resilience
✨ Experience better energy naturally

You don't have to white-knuckle your way through winter. Your body is designed to adapt - sometimes it just needs support.

Your hormones influence just about everything—your mood, sleep, metabolism, energy, focus, and even how well your body heals. ✨
The good news? Supporting them doesn’t always mean complicated protocols or a shelf full of supplements. Often it starts with everyday choices like quality sleep, balanced meals, stress management, and limiting toxins.
And here’s the piece many people miss: your nervous system plays a central role in regulating hormones. When your body is stuck in stress mode (fight-or-flight), it can throw your cortisol, thyroid, and reproductive hormones out of rhythm. Gentle, neurologically-focused chiropractic care helps calm the nervous system, creating space for your hormones to find balance again.
Small, consistent steps really do add up. Which one from this list feels most doable for you this week? 🌿

Your amygdala (fear center) doesn’t care if it’s a legit threat or just a text from your boss at 9pm 🙃

If you're running on fumes, surviving on coffee, and wondering where your vitality went – this one's for you.

That bone-deep exhaustion isn't normal. It's not just "part of being a mom" or something you have to accept.

Your body is designed to have sustainable energy throughout the day, but when your nervous system is overwhelmed and dysregulated, even rest doesn't restore you.

🔋 Why you're truly exhausted (it's not what you think)

When your nervous system feels safe, everything changes. ✨
Your amygdala (the brain’s fear center) finally gets to rest, which means your body doesn’t have to live in fight-or-flight mode all the time. Instead, your parasympathetic system takes the lead — digestion improves, sleep deepens, immunity strengthens, and your stress hormones regulate.
That’s the power of consistency with adjustments: you’re not just chasing temporary relief, you’re retraining your nervous system to move out of survival mode and into healing mode.
💡 A regulated nervous system = a calmer mind, more energy, and a healthier you.

Our Story

With a focus on core chiropractic philosophy fused with crucial lifestyle shifts, Abundant Health Chiropractic helps patients gain the energy and whole-body alignment they are yearning for to overcome the sense of overwhelm caused by the complexity of everyday life.

Dr. Amy Horn grew up in a chiropractic household. Her grandfather practiced in South St. Louis for 33 years, so the chiropractic “way of life” was implemented early on. It has become her particular passion to treat patients as a whole, the physical, mental and chemical aspects of their health. While most people associate Chiropractic care with pain, it is in particular the functioning of the Nervous System that is Dr. Horn’s main focus.

At AHC, the focus is on providing clients with top-notch care. For us, that means that we will align your body like other chiropractic offices, but we aim to go above and beyond just the physical aspects of alignment, with a focus on the mind/body connection. Our goal is to transcend traditional perceptions of “chiropractic care,” to show you how it is beneficial to your overall health!

It’s more than just pain management. To us, “abundant health” means full 360° alignment between the physical, emotional and mental.
