Our office elf, Vertebrae Vinnie, wandered into the acupuncture room today…
and now he’s completely convinced he’s a licensed acupuncturist.

But while Vinnie is definitely not qualified, he does want to share a few real benefits of acupuncture:

Acupuncture can help reduce pain.
It stimulates specific points to support circulation, reduce tension, and encourage the body’s natural healing response.

It helps calm the nervous system.
Great for stress, headaches, muscle tightness, and chronic pain.

It works beautifully alongside chiropractic care.
While adjustments help improve alignment and movement, acupuncture can support relaxation, balance, and improved function.

Many patients feel deeply relaxed afterward.
(Vinnie tried it. He fell asleep immediately.)

So if you spot him guarding the acupuncture needles today, don’t worry—
the real licensed professionals are the ones doing the treatments.
He’s just there to supervise.

Vertebrae Vinnie left us a note that says:

“Don’t worry, I checked… your spine is perfectly aligned with holiday spirit!”

But while Vinnie is definitely not licensed, he does want to share a few real facts:

🩻 X-rays help us understand your spinal structure.
They show alignment, curves, posture patterns, and any underlying issues that might affect your health or your care plan.

X-rays help us to rule out underlying conditions
X-rays help identify issues that may affect treatment, such as:
• Arthritis or degeneration
• Previous injuries
• Fractures
• Congenital changes
This ensures your chiropractor can choose the safest techniques for your body.

Not every patient needs X-rays, but when they’re appropriate, they give your chiropractor important information that leads to better, safer, and more individualized care.

If you ever have questions about why an X-ray is recommended, we’re always happy to explain!

Our office elf, Vertebrae Vinnie, decided to be extra helpful today…
We found him knee-deep in patient files, doing his best to “organize” the paperwork.
He left a tiny note that said:
“Staying aligned starts with staying organized!”

While we appreciate the effort, we’re not entirely sure:
✔️ Why patient files are now sorted by favorite holiday cookie
✔️ Why one folder is labeled “People Who Need More Water”
✔️ Or why he tried to climb into the filing cabinet (for “better leverage,” he claims)

“Hydrated spines are healthier spines.”

Here’s why Vinnie is so obsessed with water:

💧 1. Your spinal discs need water to stay cushioned.
Each disc in your spine works like a small shock absorber. When you’re dehydrated, discs lose fluid and can’t cushion your movement as well, leading to stiffness or discomfort.

💧 2. Hydration helps muscles relax.
Muscles that support your spine and posture function better when they’re well-hydrated. Dehydration can contribute to muscle tension, soreness, and fatigue.

💧 3. Water improves joint lubrication.
The small joints in your spine rely on fluid for smooth movement. Adequate water intake supports flexibility and helps reduce irritation.

💧 4. Proper hydration supports recovery after adjustments.
Staying hydrated helps your body circulate nutrients and remove waste products, which is especially helpful after chiropractic care.

So if Vinnie catches you today, he’ll be reminding you:
👉 Drink water throughout the day—not just when you feel thirsty.
Your spine, muscles, and joints will thank you!

Our office Elf, Vertebrae Vinnie was caught going through the Naughty & Nice List, checking it twice… and making a few chiropractic-specific updates 👀

📜 NICE LIST:
✔️ Patients who kept their adjustment appointments
✔️ Those doing their stretches at home (you know who you are 😉)
✔️ Anyone who lifts with their legs, not their back
✔️ People who bring holiday snacks for the staff (instant VIP status)

😈 NAUGHTY LIST:
❌ The serial appointment reschedulers
❌ Those pretending they definitely drank enough water
❌ Anyone who tried to adjust themselves… again

Vinnie says there’s still time to move over to the Nice List!

“Even Vertebrae Vinnie knows your spine’s alignment affects your whole body! Take it from him: don’t shelf your spinal health!
Our elf’s taking a break from mischief to drop some shelf facts about your spine!

Your spine has 33 bones!
That’s 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral (fused), and 4 coccygeal (fused).

Your spine supports almost everything you do.
From bending and twisting to standing and dancing around the Christmas tree! 🎄

🧠 Your nervous system lives inside your spine.
It’s the superhighway connecting your brain to your body — keeping everything in sync!

Good posture = good performance.
Even Santa needs proper alignment to deliver gifts all night long! 🎁

Chiropractic care helps your spine stay aligned.
That means less tension, better movement, and more holiday cheer. ✨

Elves know: sitting on a shelf all season can be rough on the back!
Stretch, move, and check your posture regularly.

Your spine naturally curves in 3 places.
These curves help absorb shock and keep you balanced — kind of like suspension for your body!
