As the holidays approach, do you notice shifts in your kids this time of year? 🤔

Bedtimes get harder. Emotions run bigger. Energy dips faster. And while holiday excitement is in full swing, their little bodies can feel the stress of the season just as much as the joy.🥴

Here’s why: a child’s nervous system is always working to adapt. It helps regulate things like mood, sleep, and energy - all of which take a hit when the days get shorter, schedules get busier, and sugar sneaks onto more plates.

When their nervous system is stressed or stuck in overdrive, kids have a harder time settling at night, staying regulated through transitions, and keeping their immune system strong. And as a parent, that can make the holidays feel a little heavier than they need to.

Chiropractic care 👐 helps keep your child’s nervous system clear so their brain and body can work together the way they’re designed to. When that communication flows, kids can:
✨Sleep more soundly, even with later nights
✨Adapt more easily to shifting routines and family gatherings
✨Handle emotions without such big meltdowns
✨Stay healthier through all the extra germs that come with the season

This holiday season, imagine your child taking in the magic with more balance, resilience, and joy! That’s the gift of a clear and connected nervous system. 🧡

Every day, your body produces free radicals as a natural part of metabolism, stress, toxins, and even exercise. Normally, your cells can neutralize them with antioxidants.

But when free radicals build up faster than your body can manage, it leads to oxidative stress - an imbalance that damages cells, speeds up aging, and contributes to fatigue, inflammation, and chronic health challenges. 😫

Here’s where the nervous system comes in:
When your nervous system is overloaded or misaligned, your body has a harder time regulating stress, circulation, immune responses, and cellular repair. That makes oxidative stress hit harder and recovery slower.

Chiropractic care helps by restoring clear communication between your brain and body, which allows your system to:
✨ Better regulate stress and lower overall oxidative load
✨ Improve circulation and oxygen delivery for healthier cells
✨ Support stronger immune defenses
✨ Promote repair and healing so your body can keep up with daily wear and tear

Oxidative stress may be unavoidable, but with a well-regulated nervous system, your body can adapt, recover, and stay healthy.🧡

When Breathing 😮‍💨 Feels Harder Than It Should

You’ve cranked up the humidifiers, tried the steroids, used the v***r rubs, and stocked up on tissues. But, if you or your kids still struggle with recurring coughs, congestion, or seasonal breathing issues…there’s another layer worth paying attention to: the nervous system.

The nervous system is deeply connected to how well you breathe. The brain and spinal cord coordinate the muscles of respiration and direct how your immune system responds to irritation in the airways.

When the nervous system is stuck in stress mode, airways can feel tighter, inflammation lingers longer, and recovery slows down. But when it’s clear and regulated, the body has more capacity to breathe deeply, keep inflammation in check, and bounce back more quickly after illness.

Alongside chiropractic care, staying well-hydrated thins mucus and makes it easier for airways to stay open, while prioritizing true rest gives your body the energy it needs to heal.

You can also support your family with small daily practices like:
🚿 A warm, steamy shower or saline rinse to help clear nasal passages
💧 Staying hydrated to thin mucus and keep tissues moist
🍊 Supporting the immune system with vitamin C, zinc, and whole foods
😴 Prioritizing rest so the body has energy to heal
🌱 Diffusing essential oils like eucalyptus or peppermint to open airways naturally

Helping your family breathe easier means getting to the root cause by caring for the system that regulates it all. 🧡

✈️ Holiday Travel 🚗 + Your Nervous System ✨

The holidays bring so much joy…but let’s be honest, they also bring a whole lot of stress on your body. Long car rides, crowded airports, nights on a lumpy pull-out couch, kids staying up way past bedtime, and plates piled high with food your body isn’t used to.

All of that adds up. Hours of sitting leave your body feeling tense. Different beds and late nights disrupt your sleep. Extra sugar and rich foods challenge your digestion. And, being in new places means you’re around a whole new set of germs.

That’s a lot for your nervous system to keep up with. When it’s clear and adaptable, your body can:
🕰️ Adapt to hours of sitting and rushing around
💤 Reset more easily after restless nights
🥧 Process the extra treats without so much discomfort
💪 Stay resilient in the face of holiday germs

Getting adjusted BEFORE travel helps your body adapt to what’s ahead. Getting adjusted AFTER helps you bounce back so you can step back into your routine without feeling like you need a vacation from your vacation. 🧡

You’re doing a lot - probably more than most people see. And most days, you hold it all together.

But, when your body starts sending signals that it’s overwhelmed - less energy, more irritability, headaches, restless sleep…those signs are how your body communicates that it’s under stress. 🤯

Health isn’t a luxury to circle back to once everything else settles down. It’s what allows you to keep showing up, without running yourself into the ground.

Your nervous system is the foundation for health - physically, emotionally, and mentally. It’s what helps your body adapt to stress, regulate hormones, stay present with your family, and carry out the day without feeling constantly depleted.

In our office, you won’t find us chasing quick fixes or bandaid solutions. Yes, we want you to feel better. But even more than that, our care is focused on helping your body function better so you’re not constantly stuck in survival mode!

When your nervous system is regulated, you can expect:
• More clarity in your day
• More capacity to handle stress
• More space to feel like yourself again

If your health has quietly fallen to the bottom of the list, let this be your reminder: it matters, and you matter. We’re here when you’re ready to begin. 🧡

You’ve probably heard a lot of things about chiropractic care 👐- but not all of them are true. From who it’s for to what it really helps with, there are plenty of myths out there that keep families from experiencing the full benefits of nervous system-focused care.

Today, we’re setting the record straight! Swipe ➡️through to see the 4️⃣ most common myths about chiropractic - and the truth we want every family to know. 🧡

The nervous system is the master control and makes sure that everything is working. When we have stressors in our lives (emotional, chemical and physical) the nervous system struggles to adapt and starts showing symptoms. For our littlest of patients it starts as fussiness and generally uncomfortable and can go all the way to sleep disturbances, constipation and feeding challenges. Having their nervous system checked makes such a huge difference to ensure that everything is functioning as it should.
The same is true for adults the more stress you have the less ability your nervous system has to adapt towards health. It can show up in many different "symptoms" such as: low energy, irritability, constipation, poor sleep, aches and pains and more. Today is the best day to reach out and have your nervous system checked!

The memories we carry often come from the little things: a laugh around the dinner table, the smell of a favorite recipe, the comfort of familiar traditions. ✨

But, did you know your nervous system plays a big role in how you experience and store those moments? 🤔

When your nervous system is dysregulated, it’s harder to be present. Stress, tension, and overwhelm can pull your body into “survival mode,” making it tough to connect, focus, and soak in the details of those special times.

When your nervous system is balanced, your body shifts into a state where presence and connection come naturally. You’re calmer, more engaged, and your brain can better process those moments into long-term memory…the ones you’ll cherish for years to come.

Chiropractic care helps clear interference in the nervous system so you can show up fully for yourself, your family, and the traditions that matter most.

Here’s to more presence, more connection, and more memories that last! 🧡
