New year energy can feel exciting…and a little intense. Suddenly it’s calendar upgrades, big plans, and the urge to overhaul everything overnight. But if your body is already carrying tension from long days, busy schedules, or too much screen time, the best “reset” might be a simpler one.

Health goals sound great on January 1…until life starts happening again. Work gets busy, sleep slips, routines get messy, and suddenly the plan feels impossible.

Waking up with a tight jaw or sore temples? Noticing yourself clenching your teeth during the day? Jaw tension is more common than many people realize – and it may be your body’s way of trying to tell you something: You’re stressed!

Ever felt wired but exhausted? Or maybe you find it hard to relax even after a long day? That may have more to do with your nervous system than you think.

"But my child doesn't have back pain!"
Here's why chiropractic care is crucial during those rapid growth years:
📏 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗽𝘂𝗿𝘁𝘀 - Bones grow faster than muscles, creating imbalances
🎒 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀 - Up to 20% of body weight straining young spines daily
📱 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 - "Text neck" starting younger than ever
⚽ 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 - Falls, tackles, and repetitive motions add up
😴 𝗦𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀 - Spinal misalignments can disrupt rest and growth hormones
🧠 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀 - Nervous system interference affects concentration
Think of it as regular maintenance for their growing bodies! Just like dental checkups prevent cavities, chiropractic checkups prevent bigger problems down the road.
Our gentle, kid-friendly approach makes visits comfortable and even fun. Many children actually look forward to their appointments!

Born and raised in the small town of Central City, Kentucky, both Dr. Justin Mitchell and his wife Dr. Amanda Mitchell relocated to Lakewood Ranch, FL in 2012 to not only further their chiropractic careers, but to also find a place to call "home". They are very active in the community and love getting involved and helping others. Their passion for chiropractic goes beyond helping patients find comfort and pain relief, it's also about getting to know their patients on a personal level and establishing a friendship.
DR. AMANDA MITCHELL
Amanda achieved a Bachelor of Science in May 2006 from Brescia University in Owensboro, KY with a major in biology. Her drive and determination helped her to graduate at the top of her class with a summa cm laude honor. In addition to her education, Amanda´s strive for excellence continued into sports and helped her receive a 4-year softball scholarship. Following college, she then continued her education at Palmer College of Chiropractic Florida in Port Orange where she received a Doctorate of Chiropractic in December 2009.
Amanda´s love for helping patients continues into her personal life. Aside from chiropractic, she has volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House of St. Petersburg, became a wish granter for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and helped serve food at the St. Vincent De Paul Food Shelter. But one of the most life changing experiences she has ever encountered involved her going on a medical mission trip to Haiti in July 2011 with a group called People For Haiti. The group helped over a thousand Haitians receive medical care as well as supply communities with everyday necessities. But the proudest moment in her life didn´t involve going places or receiving awards, it was becoming a mother to their two sons. "Spending time with family is top priority!"
DR. JUSTIN MITCHELL
Justin achieved a Bachelor of Science in May 2006 from Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, KY with a major in biology and a minor in chemistry. He continued his education at Palmer College of Chiropractic Florida in Port Orange where he received a Doctorate of Chiropractic in December 2009. He further specialized in chiropractic acupuncture in August 2009 with a Fellowship from the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture. He is currently an active member of the American Chiropractic Association, Florida Chiropractic Association, American Board of Forensic Professionals, and Pinellas County Chiropractic Society.
Justin has been practicing chiropractic in St. Petersburg at Hopkins Clinic Of Physical Medicine since graduating in 2009. Through working, he has received a great amount of experience in treating patient injuries who were involved in auto collisions. At Hopkins Clinic Of Physical Medicine, Justin worked hand in hand with highly accredited chiropractors, medical doctors, and physical therapists. The knowledge and skill that he has received at Hopkins Clinic is carried into his practice at Manatee Wellness & Chiropractic Centers, which has given him the ability to provide a well-rounded approach to care for his patients.
