This holiday season, we’re reminded that the heart of our business has always been the community we serve. While this time of year brings joy and celebration for many, it can also be a difficult season for families struggling to keep their pantries full. That’s why we’re launching our Holiday Food Drive — to help ensure that no family in our community has to worry about where their next meal will come from.

We believe in giving back, supporting one another, and showing up when it matters most. Every donation — big or small — makes a meaningful difference. Whether it’s a few extra cans, boxed goods, or pantry staples, your generosity helps fill a table, brighten a home, and bring comfort to families who need it most.

We invite you to stop by, drop off a donation, and join us in spreading kindness this season. Together, we can help fill more than just shelves, we can fill hearts. 🧡

“Babies don’t have back pain! Why would I take them to a chiropractor?”

Hate (but actually LOVE) to break this common misconception for you…
🚨CHIROPRACTIC ISN’T JUST FOR BACK PAIN🚨

Birth is HARD.
Not only for mama, but for baby too!
When babies are born, it’s the base of their skill that is grabbed and used as the lever to pull them out.
And guess what?
There is some precious cargo in that area that aids in MANY functions!
🧠

You may not notice them in the beginning, but they can develop over time.
And, again, I love to break this to you..
But kids don’t just “grow out” of some of these things.
They grow INTO other issues.

Ever wonder why we have so many young kids already on ADHD meds? So many teenagers are anxious and depressed? A mental health crisis amongst our adults?

Why do we wait until these things show up to care for our kids?

Tummy time has been a hot topic this week so far as my mamas are all having their babies! 😭🤩🥰

So why is tummy time even important?
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, tummy time plays a vital role in infant development in the following ways:
1️⃣ Muscle Development: strengthens neck, shoulder, and arm musculature for motor skills
2️⃣ Motor Skill Development: strength within the above structures are vital for lifting their head, rolling over, crawling, and sitting
3️⃣ Prevention of Flat Spots: less time spent on their back helps to reduce the risk of developing a misshapen head
4️⃣ Sensory and Environment Exposure: babe is able to see the world from a different perspective and experience difference textures around them

When is the appropriate time to begin tummy time and for how long?
You can start days after birth! Remember, tummy time doesn’t necessarily have to be on the floor right from the start — chest to chest is a great way to introduce it to your babe and you get those sweet cuddles! 🥰

Start with short, frequent sessions throughout the day! 1-5 minutes about 2-3 times per day. Gradually increasing to 30 minutes by 2 months of age and to 1 hour by 6 months of age.

How can I keep them entertained?
🧸 toys
🪞 mirrors
📚 books
🏁 contrast/sensory play mats
Or get down on the floor with them!

The critical period is so important for the growth and development of your sweet babe!

This begins at CONCEPTION and goes all the way through their first year (and some research shows to even TWO YEARS).

Birth is hard on not only mom, but baby as well. Physical trauma from birth can cause subtle misalignments that disrupt nervous system function and interferes with development.

This is why it is so important to get your infant checked after birth! Your birth experience doesn't have to be traumatic for there to be birth trauma involved. It is the marathon of life!

Did you know that Dr. Lydia is getting her Masters of Science in Integrative Pediatrics?!

If not, you do now! 😜 She continues to deliver high quality care to all her patients, especially the young ones who do not have a voice yet, the ones who are growing and developing, those who are working on learning a new skill, the ones who are competing and all those in between.

She completed her second certification in Pediatric Chiropractic Technique this weekend and eagerly awaits graduation in December.

WHAT?! It’s safe to exercise while pregnant?! And there’s benefits for my baby as well?!

YES MAMA! 🤍

During pregnancy, your blood and oxygen is shipped to different areas of your body in comparison to when you are not pregnant. The top place that blood flow is shunted to? Reproductive tissues! 🤰🏼

Mom’s body will supply and protect baby FIRST. Her body will signal when she needs to stop exercising before the baby is ever affected. This is why it is SO important to be in tune with your body.

I get this question quite often and the answer is quite simple.. before, during, and after!

The purpose of chiropractic care is to alter your nervous system to be in growth, development, and healing mode. We cannot be in high stress and protection mode while also growing and developing. Yes, it can still happen, but it isn’t under optimal circumstances and can lead to additional things later on down the line.

Pregnancy is HARD, but it is so incredibly rewarding. You don’t have to accept the societal norms that pregnancy is painful and uncomfortable. The goal for chiropractic care is to reduce stress, balance your nervous system, and optimize pelvic/spinal biomechanics. Let me help you have the best pregnancy possible. 🤍
