“And it starts earlier than you think.

Amniotic fluid loves to absorb near-infrared light. A 2010 study on the optical properties of human amniotic fluid found something remarkable: Amniotic fluid selectively transmits red and near-infrared light, with peak transmission at 850nm—the exact wavelength abundant in morning and evening sunlight. These are the same wavelengths that power mitochondrial energy production and cellular development.

But here’s the critical part: As pregnancy progresses, light transmission drops. Amniotic fluid becomes more optically dense in later gestation, meaning less light passes through. Early and mid-pregnancy sun exposure matters most.” – Lindsey Mathews Cantu, DC

In postpartum, your body heals through signals, and one of the most powerful (and overlooked) signals in pregnancy and postpartum is natural light. Morning and evening sunlight help regulate hormones, support tissue repair, stabilize mood, and even entrain your baby’s developing circadian rhythm before and after birth.

❄️ Shovel Smart. Protect Your Spine! ❄️

Snow shoveling is one of the top causes of winter back injuries. Before you head out, keep your spine happy:

🦴 Warm up first – cold muscles + sudden movement = strain
🦵 Bend at the hips and knees (not the waist)
🔄 Avoid twisting while lifting — turn with your feet instead
🧹 Keep the shovel close to your body
❄️ Smaller loads = less stress on your spine
⏸️ Take breaks — fatigue leads to poor mechanics
⚠️ Sharp pain, numbness, tingling, or chest discomfort are signs to stop immediately.

If your back, neck, or hips feel off after shoveling, don’t ignore it. Chiropractic care can help restore proper movement and prevent small issues from becoming big ones.

Stay safe out there — your spine will thank you! ❄️💙

At our holiday party, the FCC team came together to create this mosaic of our logo! Now it has a permanent home in our office. Each piece represents the people, passion, and teamwork that make our practice what it is.

It’s more than art—it’s a reminder of how much we love serving our community and how powerful it is when we work together. 💙✨

Let’s talk about Methylated vitamins!
Not all B vitamins are created equal!

Some people have a common genetic variation called MTHFR, which affects how the body processes folate and certain B vitamins. When that pathway isn’t efficient, regular B vitamins may not be well tolerated or effective.

Methylated B vitamins are already in their active form, making them easier for the body to use. For some people, this can support energy, mood focus, and nervous system health.

That’s why I recommend Methyl-Action! It’s a practitioner-grade supplement which is available in office!
Any questions? I’m happy to decide if it’s right for you! 🤍

Arm pain doesn’t always start in the arm.

Many people are surprised to learn that pain, tingling, or numbness traveling down the arm often begins in the neck.

The nerves in your neck control:
• Where pain travels in your arm
• Sensation in your hand and fingers
• Strength in your shoulder, arm, and grip

When one of these nerves becomes irritated or compressed, symptoms can follow very specific paths — like the ones shown in this image.

If this type of pain is ignored, it’s not just uncomfortable. Over time, it can lead to weakness in the arm or hand, making everyday tasks harder.

The good news?
When addressed early, nerve irritation often responds very well to proper care.

✨ Pain is your body’s way of asking for attention — not something to push through.

This post is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose or treat any condition. If you’re experiencing arm pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness, please consult a qualified healthcare professional for an individualized evaluation.

✨ New Year, New Intentions ✨

As we step into the new year, let’s focus on intention over resolution. Slow down, regulate your nervous system, reflect, set healthy boundaries, and meet yourself with compassion along the way. Spend time grounding in nature, be gentle with yourself and others, and honor how far you’ve already come.

Healing is a journey — and you don’t have to do it alone. 🤍
