Meet the tiny humans who grew up to dedicate their lives to taking care of yours. 🫶🏼

The same hearts, the same personalities — just a little taller and a lot more trained. 🥰

We show up every single day because we believe your family deserves to thrive — naturally, fully, and without settling for “just push through it.”

We genuinely can’t imagine it any other way. We’re grateful to do what we do.. and even more grateful to do it together. 🩵

Your family just spent months indoors, fighting off winter viruses, dealing with less sunlight, and accumulating stress in their nervous systems.

Your immune system is depleted and now spring is here with its own challenges: pollen overload, temperature fluctuations, Daylight Saving exhaustion, lingering viruses, and increased outdoor activity (more exposure).

If you don’t reset now, spring becomes a season of constant allergies, infections, and struggling to keep up - instead of the fresh start it’s supposed to be.

Don’t let spring get your family’s immune system down, optimize everyone together by adding in “the reset plan” for spring:
☀️ Morning sunlight (resets circadian rhythm, boosts vitamin D)
💚 Chiropractic adjustments (removes winter stress, supports immune function)
💧 Increase hydration (supports lymphatic drainage)
🥗 Add spring produce (vitamin C, antioxidants, fiber)
🏃 Daily outdoor movement (lymph needs movement to drain)
😴 Consistent sleep (immune repair happens overnight)

Chiropractic care is the foundation - removing spinal interference from winter, supporting lymphatic drainage before allergy season, regulating stress response, and building immune resilience for spring exposures.

Families who reset at the beginning of spring have fewer allergies, don’t catch the spring colds going around, have more energy, and actually ENJOY the season.
Families who skip it struggle all season long.
Don’t wait until you’re sick. Reset NOW.

Drop 🌸 if you’re ready to reset your family’s immune system and have your healthiest spring yet. 🫶🏼

Hey, Elevation Fam!

You are an amazing group of individuals, and you do amazing things. One reason why we love Clarksville is because of the amazing individuals who live here and our sense of community. I know you feel it too. That’s why we like to do our part to support this community whenever we can. Our effort this month is focused on saving lives by keeping our hospitals full with a safe and adequate blood supply. Each year we partner with Blood Assurance, our Middle Tennessee community blood bank, to hold a blood drive and invite all of you amazing individuals to support our hospitals and local patients by signing up for an appointment to donate blood.

Blood Assurance is the main supplier for Vanderbilt (our Vanderbilt/former Tennova too!), TriStar hospitals, all of middle Tennessee’s children’s hospitals, LifeFlight and AirEvac, and half of the St. Thomas group. Pretty much anywhere that anyone of us might go. Blood supplies have been critically and chronically low since the January ice storms and we need your help!

There are many people who used to donate, many who think they are not able to donate, and many who just think everyone else is donating and taking care of the need. The truth is, donation is down overall while the need for blood continues to rise. We know about the accidents and traumas that require transfusion, but it is easy to forget the many other reasons why everyday folks may need blood as an on-going need or an occasional occurrence.

Sickle cell patients, cancer patients, giving birth, severe forms of anemia…all of these patients need blood to get well, to get through treatment, to live another day, week, month or years. Moreover, you might have the rare blood type that is the perfect match for another rare blood type recipient, or a premature baby.

One such regular recipient is Emily Rodgers, a little girl from Middle Tennessee who has received over 190 blood transfusions—and every one of them has helped her keep fighting. She suffers from a defect to her red blood cells that require a transfusion every 21 days. Her family travels to Nashville where she receives her transfusions at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, one of the hospitals we proudly supply with blood thanks to donors like you.

We are holding a blood drive on Thursday, March 12 in front of our office on the Blood Assurance Bloodmobile and we need donors to fill up our appointment slots so we can make a good collection, reach our goal for the hospitals, and support our community of local patients. It is open to the public, anyone can sign up! Will you sign up and share this email among your circles of friends and family and ask them to come out and support patients like Emily by donating Thursday and once every quarter? Even if you can’t donate, you can still invite others to support our efforts.


Details:

Blood Drive Thursday, March 12 @ Elevation Chiropractic, 11:00am-3:00pm

Be sure to:

Eat a good meal, drink plenty of water and avoid energy drinks!

Bring a friend for double impact.


Yes friends, we need YOU. Please sign up to donate. If you are unsure if you are eligible to donate, please call 1-800-962-0628 to connect with someone who can answer your questions.

Meet Emily Rodgers, a brave 12-year-old living with beta thalassemia, a rare inherited blood disorder that prevents her body from producing healthy red blood...

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. 👏

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. 🫶🏼

Are you currently expecting + looking to create the perfect experience for both you and baby?

The Webster Technique is a specialized prenatal chiropractic approach that focuses on pelvic balance and nervous system optimization to support your baby’s natural positioning during pregnancy.

Rather than forcing movement, this gentle technique creates the ideal environment for your little one to settle into the most favorable position for birth by ensuring your pelvis and surrounding structures are properly aligned and your neuro-spinal system is clear + connected.

When stress and interference are removed and pelvic balance is restored, it creates more room for baby to grow and move freely while reducing tension in muscles and ligaments. 💫

This specific technique supports your body’s innate intelligence throughout pregnancy, helping you experience more comfort, improved energy levels, shorter labor times, and fewer interventions during delivery.

Your baby benefits from having optimal space to develop and position naturally, creating a stronger connection between you both.

At Elevation Chiropractic, Dr. Jake is trained and certified in Webster technique to provide the best prenatal care possible. 👏

EVERY birth is unique and sacred, and Webster technique honors this incredible journey by supporting your body’s natural ability to provide the best environment for your growing baby.

When your nervous system is functioning optimally, your body can better adapt to the remarkable changes of pregnancy, empowering you to thrive throughout this transformative time.

We’re here to support you every step of the way! 🫶🏼🌱🤰

You get to choose how you show up for your health.

Every day, you’re making decisions. Some may feel small and some feel overwhelming.
Healthcare isn’t something that just happens TO you. It’s something you get to actively choose.

When you choose nervous system care? You’re choosing to address the ROOT of how your body functions, not just chase symptoms around.
Your nervous system controls everything—how you sleep, digest, regulate stress, fight off illness, and heal.

When there’s interference in that system (what we call stress on the system), your body can’t do what it was designed to do.

Chiropractic adjustments remove that interference. They restore communication between your brain and body. They give your nervous system the space to FUNCTION the way it’s meant to.

This isn’t about fixing one thing. It’s about supporting your body’s ability to heal, adapt, and thrive, from the inside out.

Choosing nervous system care is choosing:
✨ To trust your body’s wisdom
✨ To prioritize function over just managing symptoms
✨ To show up for yourself in a way that actually supports long-term health

You deserve a healthcare approach that sees you as whole. One that honors your body’s innate intelligence and empowers you to take control of your wellbeing.

That’s what we’re here for.

“When should I get my baby checked?”

As soon as possible.

Your baby’s first year is the most neurologically active time of their entire life. Their brain is forming 1 million neural connections PER SECOND. Their nervous system is learning how to regulate everything: digestion, sleep, immune response, movement, emotional regulation.

But birth (even the “easy” ones) is incredibly physical. The pressure, pulling, twisting, and compression that happens during delivery can create tension and imbalances in your baby’s delicate spine, especially in the upper neck.

This interference can show up as:
-Colic and excessive crying
-Difficulty latching or nursing on one side
-Torticollis (head tilting/preference)
-Reflux and digestive issues
-Sleep struggles
-Developmental delays in rolling, crawling, sitting

When we check babies (as early as hours or days old), we’re not “fixing” them. We’re removing any interference in their nervous system so their body can develop, heal, and grow the way it’s meant to.

Gentle, specific adjustments support:
✨ Proper brain-body communication
✨ Optimal digestion and sleep
✨ Immune system development
✨ Motor skill progression
✨ Emotional regulation

The earlier you support your baby’s nervous system, the stronger their foundation for lifelong health.

Your baby’s nervous system is their lifeline. Make sure it’s functioning at 100% from day one.

📍 Schedule your newborn’s first check. We make it gentle, quick, and stress-free for your whole family. Request an appointment at elevationchiro.com or call/text us at 931.444.1236 📲

When your little one can't breathe easily, every parent's heart breaks.

Croup is that scary barking cough that often comes with labored breathing, especially at night. While it's typically caused by viral inflammation of the upper airways, here's what many parents don't know: your child's nervous system controls their entire respiratory function.

The nerves that innervate your lungs, diaphragm, and airways all originate from specific levels of the spine—particularly the cervical (neck) and thoracic (mid-back) regions. When there's interference in these areas, your child's body can't regulate inflammation, coordinate breathing muscles, or activate their natural healing response as effectively.

Here's how chiropractic care supports the respiratory system during croup:
🫁 Removes nervous system interference in the thoracic spine—allowing better communication between the brain and the lungs, improving oxygen exchange and respiratory muscle coordination

⚡ Enhances vagus nerve function—the vagus nerve controls airway dilation and helps regulate the inflammatory response in the respiratory tract

💪 Releases tension in the diaphragm and intercostal muscles—when these breathing muscles can move freely without restriction, your child can breathe more deeply and effectively

🧠 Activates the parasympathetic nervous system—shifting the body out of stress mode and into "rest, heal, and recover" mode where true healing happens

✨ Supports lymphatic drainage in the chest and throat—helping the body clear congestion and reduce swelling in the airways more efficiently

🔗 Improves rib mobility and chest expansion—restricted ribs can limit how deeply your child can breathe; adjustments restore proper movement

Parents often notice after consistent chiropractic care during respiratory challenges:

-Easier, less labored breathing
-Shorter duration of symptoms
-Less frequent croup episodes overall
-Better sleep (because they can actually breathe!)
-Faster recovery times
-Reduced need for interventions

We're not treating croup—we're removing the interference so your child's innate intelligence can do what it does best: HEAL.

If your little one struggles with croup, asthma, frequent respiratory infections, or difficulty breathing, let's get their nervous system assessed. When their body can communicate clearly, everything works better—including those precious little lungs. 🫶🏼
