When you walk through our doors, it's more than an adjustment—it's life changing.

It's healthcare that honors your body's natural ability to heal from within.

It's building a foundation of wellness for your entire family—setting everyone up to thrive for years to come.

It's freedom to live at your full potential, unconstrained by what you've been told is "normal."

It's a safe space where you're seen, valued, and supported exactly as you are.

It's a break from the everyday chaos—a place to breathe, reset, and let your body do what it does best: heal.

It's deep healing that goes beyond symptoms to support the master system controlling everything—your nervous system.

Waking up with jaw pain or headaches? Dentist mentioning worn enamel? Your body is trying to tell you something. 🗣️

Jaw clenching isn't just a "stress habit." It's your nervous system working overtime, trying to stabilize and keep your airway open while you sleep.

Here's the thing about mouthguards: they protect your teeth, but they don't stop the clenching. They don't address WHY your body feels like it needs to clench in the first place.

Through gentle adjustments to your neuro-spinal system—including the cranial bones and TMJ—we help your body find the stability it's been searching for:

✨ Support cranial stability so your body doesn't compensate with clenching
✨ Release tension in the TMJ and restore proper movement
✨ Calm your nervous system so it feels safe enough to rest

When your body is at ease, those jaw muscles don't have to work so hard anymore. You can finally rest without being in defense mode.

Your jaw tension is your body asking for help. Let's get to the root cause together. 💚

The twinkling lights are beautiful... until they trigger your next migraine. 😣

Here's what we've learned from families navigating the holiday season: those migraines aren't random. They're your nervous system waving a white flag, saying "I need help managing all this stress."

Between the packed schedules, sugar rushes, late nights, and sensory overload, your body gets stuck in constant overdrive. And when your nervous system can't adapt anymore? That's when the migraines show up.

You don't have to just push through another season feeling miserable.

Regular chiropractic care helps your nervous system shift out of that stress response and back into a state where it can actually adapt and heal. We focus on:

✨ Releasing tension where stress loves to hide (hello, neck and upper spine)
✨ Helping your body handle holiday chaos without breaking down
✨ Supporting better blood flow and reducing inflammation

Imagine being fully present at family gatherings instead of hiding in a dark room. Enjoying the season instead of just surviving it.

The holidays are meant to be enjoyed - and we're here to help you get there.

Let's talk about tongue ties—because there's more to the story than most parents realize.

Tongue tie isn't just about that visible tissue under the tongue. It affects the entire system—and this is where chiropractic care becomes so important.

When a baby has a tongue tie, their whole body compensates. Tension builds in the jaw, neck, and fascia. Their nervous system works overtime just to feed. And even after a release procedure, if those compensation patterns aren't addressed, feeding struggles can continue.

Here's how chiropractic supports babies with tongue ties:
🧠 Releases tension in cranial bones and facial structures—creating more space for the tongue to move freely
🔗 Addresses restricted fascia in the neck, jaw, and throat—because restriction goes beyond just the frenulum
⚡ Improves nervous system communication to the muscles involved in feeding, swallowing, and speech
💪 Relieves compensatory tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back from working extra hard to feed
✨ Supports optimal healing after tongue tie release—ensuring clear nervous system pathways and proper movement patterns

When the nervous system and fascia are restricted, even a "minor" tongue tie can cause major feeding challenges.
This is why we recommend chiropractic care before AND after a tongue tie release. It's not just helpful—it's essential for giving your baby the best outcome. Their body needs support to release those deep tension patterns and relearn how to feed with ease.

If your little one is struggling with feeding, let's assess their nervous system first. Sometimes the missing piece isn't another procedure—it's getting their whole body clear and connected. 💙

Your body remembers everything—even when your mind doesn't.

Every stressor, every big emotion, every challenging experience gets stored in your nervous system. And when those experiences don't get released? Your body stays stuck in survival mode—constantly on alert, unable to settle into the calm state where real healing happens.

Here's what that looks like: your immune system weakens, inflammation builds, digestion feels off, sleep becomes impossible, and your body forgets what safety feels like—even when you're home on your couch.

At Viva, we're not just working on back pain or neck tension.
We're gently removing interference from your nervous system so your body can finally release what it's been holding onto.

Through specific adjustments, we're giving your nervous system permission to shift out of survival mode and restore that crucial communication between your brain and body.
True healing isn't about adding more to your plate—it's about removing what's blocking your body so your innate healing power can do what it does best.

Your body knows how to heal. Sometimes it just needs a little help remembering how.

Let's talk about what's actually normal.
Feeling achy all the time? Not normal.
Always catching whatever's going around? Not normal.
Constantly drained, no matter how much you rest? Also not normal.

Somewhere along the way, we started accepting "tired," "achy," and "run down" as just part of life—or worse, just "getting older." But here's the truth: your body wasn't designed to feel like this.

If these symptoms sound way too familiar, or you're stuck in the same cycle on repeat, this is your gentle nudge to try something different.

Chiropractic care isn't just about fixing what hurts. It's about restoring your nervous system's ability to adapt, heal, and actually thrive. When your brain and body can communicate the way they're meant to, everything shifts.

You deserve to feel good in your body. Not just "fine." Not just "managing." Actually, genuinely good.

Ready to break the cycle? Let's get you back to feeling like yourself again.

Can we be real for a minute?
We know you're tired. We know you've been dealing with this for longer than you'd like to admit. And we know part of you is hoping that one adjustment will change everything.

Here's what we've seen: sometimes people do walk out after their first visit feeling lighter, more relaxed, like something just shifted. And that's beautiful when it happens.

But here's the truth we want you to know:
Real nervous system healing takes time.

Your body has been adapting to stress and compensating for months or even years. That doesn't unwind in a single visit. True healing happens in layers—gently, gradually, as your nervous system learns it's safe to let go again.

We're not just chasing symptoms. We're rebuilding the foundation so your body can sustain the changes long-term.

Ready to start? Let's take that first step together. 💙

If you’ve ever thought...

“Why does my child melt down over the smallest things?”
“Am I missing something everyone else sees?”
“Is this really just a phase?”

You’re asking the right questions.

Those daily battles over socks, the grocery store meltdowns, the food struggles that make every meal feel like a war zone... they’re not random. They’re patterns. And patterns tell us something important about what’s happening in your child’s nervous system.

Here’s what we know: Sensory struggles aren’t behavioral problems - they’re neurological ones. And when you can identify the triggers and stressors affecting your child, you can finally start addressing the root cause instead of just managing symptoms.

That’s why we created the Sensory Pattern Tracker - a gentle, judgment-free guide to help you:
✨ Discover what’s really triggering your child’s meltdowns
✨ Connect the dots between sleep, food, and behavior
✨ Identify which of the “3 T’s” (Traumas, Toxins, Thoughts) are impacting your kiddo most
✨ See patterns you might have missed

No medical jargon. No overwhelming checklists. Just simple daily tracking that helps you understand what your child’s nervous system is trying to tell you.

Ready to stop guessing and start seeing the patterns?

Chiropractic has more than your back.

Your body’s ability to heal is greater than you’ve been allowed to believe. Dr. Karisa’s care empowers it to do its job.

Interferences in the nervous system come from

TRAUMAS, TOXINS & THOUGHTS.

Modern life has made it virtually impossible to avoid these stressors. That means caring for your body is more important than ever.
