Even fun travel loads the body with:
• Sitting for long periods
• Changes in routine
• Extra sensory input
• Disrupted sleep
• Car seat or airplane tension

Here’s a simple post-travel reset to help your body recalibrate:

1️⃣ Gentle spinal mobility
Cat/cow, hip circles, baby’s extension–flexion movements. Motion tells the brain “you’re safe again.”

2️⃣ Belly-to-belly breathing
Place your child on your chest and take slow breaths together. This co-regulates both of your systems.

3️⃣ Warm bath or shower
Heat relaxes the fascia + resets the vagus nerve beautifully.

4️⃣ Hydration + minerals
Travel drains electrolytes, which impacts energy and mood.

5️⃣ Chiropractic adjustment
The fastest way to restore adaptability and calm after days of tension, sitting, and stress.

If you’re traveling after the holidays, save this post to try and let us know what you think!

Merry Christmas, Vera Fam 🤍

Today we’re slowing down, soaking up the magic, and holding space for what really matters—family, rest, gratitude, and presence.

Whether your day is full and joyful, quiet and reflective, or a little bit of both, we hope you feel supported, safe, and surrounded by love. 💫

From our Vera family to yours—thank you for trusting us with your health, your babies, and your stories this year. It’s an honor we don’t take lightly.

Wishing you a peaceful, grounded Christmas and a nervous system that feels held today. 🎄🤍

This season pulls you in two directions:
🌬️ Sympathetic (fight or flight)
• Rushing
• Overwhelm
• Sensory overload
• Tension headaches
• Shallow breathing

💛 Parasympathetic (rest + digest)
• Connection
• Joy
• Digestion
• Deep breaths
• Presence

Most moms spend December living in the fast lane… and wonder why they feel depleted, emotional, or tense.

Here are 3 simple ways to switch gears:
1️⃣ Pause before you walk into the house — 3 slow breaths to reset your state.
2️⃣ Choose one “slow ritual” each day — a light walk, tea at bedtime, reading with your littles.
3️⃣ Chiropractic care — opens the pathways for your nervous system to shift out of fight-or-flight more easily.

A regulated nervous system creates a regulated home.
Less chaos. More presence. More joy.

If you’re craving a slower, calmer holiday season this year, send us a DM or schedule your new patient appointment via the link in our bio. 🌿

Long drives and flights aren’t just inconvenient for kids—they’re physiologically challenging.

🔹 Their bodies crave movement to stay regulated.
🔹 Car seats force rounding + pressure into the lower spine and diaphragm.
🔹 New environments = more sensory input to process.

Here are 3 ways to support their nervous system while traveling:

1️⃣ Movement breaks every 60–90 minutes — even 3–5 minutes of wiggling, stretching, or crawling resets the whole system.
2️⃣ Connection first — before strapping in, give a quick chest-to-chest snuggle or eye-contact “check-in.” Safety cues calm the vagus nerve.
3️⃣ Predictable patterns — same songs, same blanket, same soothing routine. Familiarity = regulation.

A regulated nervous system equals…
➡️ Fewer meltdowns
➡️ Better digestion
➡️ Smoother transitions
➡️ A much calmer travel day for everyone

Traveling soon? We hope these tips help!✈️🚗

🎄 Holiday Hours at Vera Chiropractic 🎄
As we soak in this season with our families, we want to give you a quick heads-up about our adjusted hours over the holidays.

✨ We will be closed the entire week of Christmas
(Monday, December 22nd – Friday, December 26th)
so our team can slow down, rest, and be fully present with our loved ones — and we hope you get to do the same. 💛

We will also be closed on:
• Wednesday, December 31st
• Thursday, January 1st

Regular hours resume Monday, January 5th.

If you need to get in before the holiday chaos hits (or want to start the New Year regulated + aligned), make sure to schedule ahead — spots fill quickly this time of year!

The best way to reach us over the break will be to text (573) 879-3443!

Wishing you a peaceful, joy-filled season with your favorite people. ✨

We can’t wait to care for you and your family in the New Year. 🫶

Travel + holiday chaos can do a number on your kiddo’s nervous system — and their digestion.

If your little one tends to get constipated this time of year, you’re not alone. ✈️🚗🎄

Here’s the truth:

Constipation during travel isn’t just about different food or long car rides… it’s often a nervous system issue.

When a child’s body shifts into “fight or flight,” digestion slows way down. The gut literally stops prioritizing motility because the brain thinks it needs to focus on survival, not pooping.

Add in new environments, disrupted routines, big emotions, and sensory overwhelm… and their system can get stuck in stress mode.

✨ This is where chiropractic shines.

Gentle, neurologically-based adjustments help:

• Reduce tension in the spine + abdomen
• Improve communication along the vagus nerve
• Shift the body back toward “rest and digest”
• Support healthy bowel movements (especially after travel!)

If your kiddo is struggling with constipation, belly discomfort, or trouble regulating during the holidays, we’d love to help support their system.

You don’t have to wait it out — their body is capable of SO much when we clear the stress patterns holding it back.

We’re here to support your little traveler. 💛

✨ Share Your Favorite Holiday Tradition! ✨

One of our favorite things about this season is how every family has their own little rituals—the things that make the holidays feel like home.
Maybe it’s a special recipe passed down for generations, matching pajamas on Christmas Eve, driving around to look at lights, or a simple moment you look forward to every single year.

In a season that can feel busy and overwhelming, these small traditions are often what bring us back to what matters most: connection, joy, and being fully present with the people we love.

🎄 We’d love to hear one of YOUR holiday traditions—big or small.
Do you bake something special? Have a favorite movie night? Visit a certain place every year? Wrap gifts a funny way? Hide the pickle ornament? Share away!

And just for fun…
☕️ One person who comments will win a gift card to !

Your tradition might be the one that inspires someone else to slow down, create something new, or build a memory with their own family. ❤️

Drop yours in the comments 👇 and let’s spread a little nostalgic holiday magic today.
