Think stress is just mental? Think again 🤯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your body doesn’t lie. While your mind might say, “I’m handling this fine,” your shoulders are screaming, your jaw is clenched, and your digestive system has basically gone on strike.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stress literally rewires your nervous system - creating physical tension patterns that stick around long after the stressful situation has passed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That tight neck? Those constant headaches? The way you hold your breath without realizing it? These aren’t separate issues - they’re all connected.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s what most people don’t realize: Your stress isn’t just living in your head... It’s living in your spine and the nerves that branch out from it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is where chiropractic adjustments make all the difference.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When stress creates tension and misalignment in your spine, it interferes with your nervous system’s ability to communicate properly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Those gentle adjustments? We’re restoring proper alignment and taking pressure off the nerves that control everything from your sleep to your digestion.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The magic happens when your nervous system can finally function the way it’s supposed to. Many of my patients walk in feeling wound up tight and leave with a sense of calm they haven’t felt in months - not because I “cracked their back,” but because we restored the connection between their brain and body.

“I feel a hundred times better. I would absolutely recommend this.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is what real transformation looks like.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before working with me, Randy had dealt with constant heartburn, low energy, and just didn’t feel good physically.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sound familiar?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He knew something was off. After working hard his whole life, he couldn’t do what he used to 20 years ago.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But here’s what changed everything:
✨ No more Tums since January
✨ Energy is back
✨ Can work consistently without needing breaks
✨ Feels like himself again
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He and his wife did this together, holding each other accountable through the process.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Changing eating habits takes time to get used to. But when you have support and the right plan? That’s when real change happens.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re tired of just “dealing with” symptoms and ready to feel like yourself again, let’s chat. Send me a DM or call

Your nervous system might be sending you signals you’re not recognizing! 👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At in Fairmont, MN, I see patients every day who don’t realize their body is crying out for help.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some everyday signs of nervous system dysregulation that most people dismiss as “normal”:
🔹 Clenching your jaw or grinding teeth (especially at night)
🔹 Feeling “tired but wired” - exhausted but can’t wind down
🔹 Digestive issues that seem to come out of nowhere
🔹 Temperature regulation problems - always too hot or too cold
🔹 Brain fog and difficulty concentrating on simple tasks
🔹 Sleep that isn’t refreshing even after 7+ hours
🔹 Getting startled easily by normal sounds or movements
🔹 Mood swings or feeling emotionally reactive
🔹 Chronic muscle tension in shoulders, neck, or back
🔹 Heart racing during calm moments
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your nervous system controls EVERYTHING in your body - from your heartbeat to your digestion to your sleep cycles.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When your spine isn’t properly aligned, it can interfere with these vital communications.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chiropractic care helps restore proper nervous system function by removing interference in your spine, allowing your body to regulate itself naturally. When your nervous system is balanced, your whole body works better 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have been experiencing any of these common, everyday signs, come see me. Call 📲 507-235-8485 to book!

Pumpkin spice and apple pie scented everything might be alluring, but make sure all your fall smells aren’t coming from artificial fragrances. 😉

Here’s why 👇

❌ Candles, room sprays/air fresheners, plug-ins, perfumes, etc. are LOADED with chemicals that have been shown to disrupt your endocrine system (some ingredients in artificial fragrance can mimic the natural hormone estrogen), irritate your lungs/exacerbate asthma/allergies, cause skin irritations, trigger headaches and migraines. [SOURCES BELOW].

With that being said, I understand the love of amazing scents- they’re powerful in a lot of GOOD ways, too!

🍊 If you still want to have the lovely smells of fall without the accompanying headache and more, then try diffusing clove, cinnamon bark, orange, etc. (but a little goes a long way- even “natural” fragrances like essential oils can cause allergic reactions and headaches)

🍦 If you don’t have oils on hand and you’re at home, you can put a few drops of vanilla extract and even a cinnamon stick or whole cloves in an oven-safe dish with water and turn your oven on low. Your whole house will smell like you’re baking cookies! (Just don’t forget to turn it off!)

What are your favorite ways to have lovely smells naturally?

Let’s talk about TRULY leveling up your energy and resilience as a mom...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chiropractic care isn’t just about back pain from carrying car seats and hunching over laptops. The goal is to restore OPTIMAL communication between your 🧠 brain and body, which creates a cascade of goodness.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When mom is functioning at her best, the whole family benefits! 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We all know that mom-life comes with lots of stress, sleepless nights, endless to-do lists, and that mental load that never stops.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But getting adjusted is like hitting the reset button on your nervous system. It helps you handle stress better and prevents you from feeling completely overwhelmed by 3 pm.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When your body can actually REST and digest (instead of being stuck in fight-or-flight mode), your hormones work better, your energy improves, and you show up as the mom you want to be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you ready to stop running on empty and start building real resilience?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s time for YOU to feel good!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chiropractic care gets your nervous system balanced, but adding a DUTCH test shows us exactly what your hormones are doing!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When is sticking needles in your body a GOOD thing?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💉 With acupuncture, of course! 💉 If you’re unsure, read on ⤵️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Acupuncture uses tiny, disposable, sterile needles placed gently into specific acupuncture points. It’s one of the oldest tried and true techniques that’s been around for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ The body is made of meridians, which allow your energy to flow. Think of meridians like rivers inside the body. Each meridian is connected to specific organs and glands. The meridians are the body’s healing energy pathways, and the acupuncture points lie along them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Our tiny needles stimulate blood flow along these meridians at specific acupuncture points. This is where we can most effectively release the resulting tension, numbness, or pain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ QI/CHI: Within TCM, these healing acupuncture points are considered to be gates of the healing energy or life-force, called the Qi or Chi. Qi flows through meridians as an invisible current, energizing, nourishing, and supporting every cell, tissue, muscle, organ, and gland.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The body’s natural self-healing abilities are activated when Qi is balanced and flowing freely. The quality, quantity, and balance of Qi influence a person’s health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When Qi becomes backed up in one part of the body, the flow becomes restricted in other parts.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Physical and emotional trauma, stress, lack of exercise, overexertion, seasonal changes, poor diet, accidents, or excessive activity are among the many things that create blockages.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever tried acupuncture?
