The six-week postpartum checkup isn't the finish line - it's just the starting point.

You go to that appointment, get cleared, and everyone acts like your body just magically bounced back.

But mama, you know the truth.

Your back aches from nursing all day. Your neck is stiff from looking down at your baby. Your core feels weak. Your pelvic floor isn't quite right. And maybe you're struggling with postpartum anxiety or depression that no one prepared you for.

You were told your body would "go back to normal" after six weeks. But postpartum doesn't end at six weeks. It's a journey that lasts months - even years.

Here's what we see in our practice:
Postpartum moms who receive regular chiropractic care experience real, measurable improvements in both physical recovery AND mental health.
Why? Your nervous system controls everything. From your posture, pelvic floor, stress response, mood, energy, and your ability to regulate emotions when you're running on 3 hours of sleep.

When your body is in a state of balance and your nervous system is clear, your body can actually heal the way it's supposed to.
Not just physically - but emotionally, too.

We're not saying chiropractic care is the only thing you need postpartum.
You need support, rest, nourishment, and community.

But the foundation for taking in all of this support- is your nervous system. That's a piece too many moms are missing.
And it makes all the difference.

Swipe to see the 7 benefits we see in postpartum moms who commit to chiropractic care beyond those first six weeks.

If you're a mama struggling right now - whether you're 8 weeks postpartum or 8 years - your body still deserves support.

You don't have to just push through. You don't have to accept that "this is just mom life now."

You deserve to feel strong, grounded, and like yourself again.

Your anxiety and depression might not be "all in your head" - they might be in the first bone of your neck.

Here's what most people don't know:
Your vagus nerve - the nerve responsible for calming your body, regulating your mood, and helping you feel safe - runs directly past the first bone in your neck (C1).

When C1 is imbalanced, it creates interference in vagus nerve function. And when your vagus nerve isn't working optimally, your nervous system gets stuck in survival mode.

That's when you experience:
-Chronic anxiety (fight/flight)
-Depression (freeze/shutdown)
-Feeling "on edge" constantly
-Emotional overwhelm
-Physical tension that won't go away

This is called low vagal tone - and it's more common than ever in our overstimulated, dysregulated world.

The good news?
Research shows that specific chiropractic adjustments to C1 can improve vagus nerve function, increase vagal tone, and help shift your nervous system from survival mode back to a state of safety, calm, and connection.

Dr. Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory shows us that our nervous system moves through three states: safe & social, fight/flight, and freeze. Most people are stuck in the last two.
Chiropractic care helps activate that ventral vagal state - where you feel calm, connected, and like yourself again.

You weren't designed to live in constant stress. Your body is capable of healing - it just needs the right support.

I cannot recommend Taylor highly enough! The preparation work he did with me leading up to my delivery was truly instrumental in giving me the fastest, smoothest labor possible.
When it came time to push, my OB was expecting hours, as her shift was ending soon. Instead, I pushed for only 24 minutes before my baby girl, Amalia, was born!

The incredible reason for this speed was Amalia's positioning. During checks, my ob repeatedly noted that the baby was at "+2 station"—meaning she was already 2 centimeters below the narrowest point of my pelvis (the engagement point) before active pushing even began!

Taylor's chiropractic adjustments ensured my pelvis was balanced and the baby was optimally positioned and deeply engaged into the birth canal, essentially fast-forwarding my labor.

If you want a confident, quick, and smooth delivery experience, Taylor is absolutely the one to see. The results are truly life-changing!

Thank you, Taylor, for your remarkable and amazing work!

The holidays are coming — with busy schedules, family gatherings, financial stress, disrupted routines, sensory overload, and the pressure to show up as your best self while running on fumes.

Most people wait until they’re completely overwhelmed to ask for help. But the most powerful thing you can do is support your nervous system before the chaos hits.

Think of it like training for a marathon — the holidays are a marathon for your nervous system, and chiropractic care is your training plan.

Here’s how pre-holiday adjustments help:
1. You start from a regulated baseline.
When you’re already in fight-or-flight mode, small stressors feel huge. Regular chiropractic care helps shift your body out of survival mode and into “rest and digest,” so you have real capacity to handle stress.

2. You adapt to stress more efficiently.
Chiropractic improves brain-body communication, helping your system process and recover from stress faster. You bounce back quicker and stay more resilient when challenges hit.

3. You’re not running on empty.
Sleep is one of the first things to suffer during the holidays. Chiropractic care supports deep, restorative rest so your body can recharge and keep up with the season’s demands.

4. Less physical tension = less mental stress.
Tight muscles, headaches, and jaw clenching signal “danger” to your brain. Adjustments release stored tension, helping your body (and mind) return to a state of safety and calm.

5. You build a stress reserve.
Think of nervous system capacity like a gas tank. Chiropractic care fills that tank before the holidays drain it, giving you more room to handle whatever comes your way.

Families who prepare in advance report feeling more grounded, patient, and energized — with fewer headaches, better sleep, and quicker recovery when things get overwhelming.

You can’t control your in-laws, travel delays, or chaos — but you can support your nervous system so you move through it all with more ease and resilience.
Start now, before the chaos begins.

Your nervous system is either helping you THRIVE or keeping you stuck in survival mode 🧠

Every day, we see families transform when their nervous systems shift from dysregulated chaos to beautiful regulation.
It's not about "fixing" anything – it's about removing the interference so your body can do what it's designed to do: HEAL and ADAPT naturally.

The difference is life-changing:
→ Kids who were struggling with focus suddenly excel in school

→ Moms who were exhausted finally have energy for their families

→ Babies who cried constantly become calm and content

→ Families who got sick monthly build stronger immunity

Your nervous system controls every single function in your body. When it's clear and connected through gentle chiropractic care, everything works better.

Which description sounds more like your family right now?

We're here to help you move from surviving to thriving!

Just a PSA the clocks change tomorrow! ⏰

But before you reach for another pair of earplugs or banish your partner to the couch, let's talk about what that nightly sawing sound might really be telling you.

Snoring isn't just a sleep annoyance – it's often your nervous system crying for help.

When your upper cervical spine (the top of your neck) is misaligned, it can affect the nerves that control your airway muscles, tongue position, and breathing patterns. Your nervous system struggles to properly coordinate the muscles needed for clear, quiet breathing during sleep.

What's really happening:
🧠 Nerve interference disrupts proper muscle coordination
😴 Airways become more likely to collapse during sleep
⚡ Your nervous system can't regulate breathing patterns optimally
💤 Poor sleep quality affects entire nervous system recovery

So why is snoring a concern? Chronic snoring often indicates your nervous system is stuck in a stress state, even during sleep. This means poor recovery, disrupted hormone production, and your body never fully entering the restorative sleep phases it desperately needs.

Many of our patients notice significant improvements in their sleep quality (and their partner's peace!) after gentle upper cervical adjustments.

When your nervous system can properly coordinate breathing, everyone sleeps better!

Your snoring might be your body's way of asking for nervous system support. Are you listening? 💚

If you've been on the fertility journey focusing on tracking ovulation, hormone levels, and reproductive health – but still struggling to conceive – this carousel is for you, mama.

What if the missing piece isn't in your ovaries, but in your spine?

Your nervous system is the master controller of your entire reproductive system. Every hormone release, every ovulation cycle, every signal that tells your body "it's safe to create life" starts with clear communication from your brain to your reproductive organs.

When there's interference in this vital communication pathway, even healthy ovaries and a perfectly functioning uterus might not get the message they need to conceive and carry new life.

✨ How gentle chiropractic care supports natural conception

We've witnessed countless couples finally conceive after optimizing their nervous system health – not because we "treat" infertility, but because we remove the interference that was blocking their body's innate ability to create life.

Your body KNOWS how to conceive. Sometimes it just needs the right conditions and clear nervous system communication to make it happen naturally! 💚

Mama, in just 9 months, your body will undergo THE most dramatic transformation of your entire life.

Your heart will pump 50% more blood, your ribcage will expand, your pelvis will shift and widen, your center of gravity will completely change, and every organ will move to make room for your growing baby.

This isn't just physical – it's creating a neurological impact.

Your nervous system is the conductor orchestrating this entire symphony of change. It's constantly adapting, adjusting, and communicating with every cell to ensure both you and baby thrive through each stage of pregnancy.

But here's what matters: When your nervous system is clear and connected through gentle chiropractic care, your body can adapt with greater ease, comfort, and resilience.

You're not just "getting through" pregnancy – you're thriving through one of life's most beautiful transformations!

What’s the #1 thing we recommend when sickness strikes? 🤔

Chiropractic care! ✨

Here’s why: When your nervous system is clear and connected, your body’s innate ability to heal and adapt is unleashed. Your immune system, digestive system, respiratory system—ALL systems—depend on optimal nervous system function to work at their best.

Rather than just masking symptoms, gentle chiropractic adjustments remove interference in your nervous system, allowing your body to do what it was designed to do: HEAL from the inside out. 💚

Think of it this way: your nervous system is like the master communicator in your body. When communication is flowing freely, your body can better respond to threats, adapt to stress, and support you through whatever comes your way.
We’re not here to treat sickness—we’re here to help your body express its full potential so you can thrive naturally!

Our family members often tell us they experience fewer “normal” sicknesses since starting regular care. That’s the power of supporting your body’s own healing intelligence! 🙌
