For this retired doctor, chiropractic is a profession; it’s a way of life!
Dr. Van Putten is still passionate about Chiropractic and getting adjusted regularly.

We love to have her in the practice because she understands the value of specific upper cervical care.

Many people are surprised by how powerful upper cervical adjustments can be. But once you understand the anatomy, it makes perfect sense. 💡

Your 𝗖𝟭 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮—also called the atlas—sits just beneath the base of your skull and supports the weight of your head (yep, just like the Greek titan). The 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 transitions into the spinal cord right at this level, making it one of the most neurologically sensitive areas in your body.

When C1 and C2 are even slightly misaligned, they can disrupt the flow of 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗽𝘂𝘁 (sensory signals heading to your brain), potentially irritating nerves responsible for everything from digestion to sleep to blood pressure regulation. 🧠✨

That’s why alignment here isn’t just about posture—it’s about protecting the brain-body connection. A clear, unimpeded nervous system supports your 𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, from head to toe.

When your upper cervical spine is unsubluxated, you may notice:
🌀 Better balance and coordination
📈 Improved energy and mental clarity
📬 Fewer signals of stress and tension throughout your body

This is the power of supporting your 𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, not just chasing symptoms.

⚖ At the end of the day, your body is designed to find balance, not burnout. 🔥The problem is that modern stress rarely gives your nervous system a chance to slow down. Chiropractic care helps restore that natural balance by supporting the way your brain and body communicate. 🌿

When your spine is aligned and pressure on the nervous system is reduced, your body can more easily enter the calm, restorative “rest and digest” state. That is where healing, hormone balance, and repair take place. Without that state, your body stays in constant alert, using energy to get through the day instead of truly recharging.

Chiropractic care does not force your body to change. It simply clears interference so your system can regulate itself the way it was designed to. A well-balanced nervous system can rest deeply, digest food efficiently, and respond to stress appropriately; all without relying on endless hacks or quick fixes.

If your gut feels unsettled, you’re unable to focus, or restful sleep feels out of reach, it could be a sign that your brain and body are not working in sync. Gentle chiropractic adjustments help restore that connection, allowing your system to move from “on edge” to “at ease.”

At the end of the day, your body needs to function the way it was designed to — calm, connected, and adaptable. That’s what happens when your nervous system is clear and your power is fully on.

"Gratitude turns what we have into enough." – Aesop 💛

When we slow down and tune into gratitude, something powerful happens in the body. The nervous system begins to calm, the heart rate steadies, and our breathing deepens.

Gratitude literally changes our physiology by shifting us from tension and reactivity into rest, repair, and connection.

That’s one of the reasons chiropractic care and gratitude work so beautifully together. Chiropractic helps remove interference in the nervous system, allowing your brain and body to communicate clearly. When your system is balanced and connected, it becomes easier to feel thankful, present, and grounded.

Many people notice that as their nervous system functions better, they naturally start appreciating the small things again — deep sleep, a clear mind, a strong body, a sense of peace. When your body is functioning the way it was designed to, even the simplest moments feel like enough. 🌿

True health isn’t just the absence of symptoms. It’s the ability to live with awareness, gratitude, and connection, to feel fully alive in your own skin.

“Gratitude impacts your whole being; emotionally AND physiologically.”

Your emotions aren’t just “in your head.” They’re experienced throughout your entire body, carried through the same pathways your brain uses to send and receive information. 💭

When you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or under pressure, your nervous system moves into protection mode. Heart rate increases, breathing changes, muscles tighten, and digestion slows. This response is meant to keep you safe for a short time — but modern life often keeps that protective response active far longer than it should.

Constant notifications, long commutes, heavy workloads, and emotional strain can all keep your body in a heightened state of alert. Over time, that can leave your system exhausted and less able to adapt, showing up as tension, irritability, fatigue, or even brain fog.

Chiropractic care helps restore balance by improving communication between your brain and body. As your nervous system begins to regulate more effectively, your body can release that constant state of defense and return to calm. 🌿

Many people describe it as finally being able to take a full breath again — a sense of ease that supports both emotional and physical health.

When we say a chiropractic adjustment helps turn your “power on,” we mean it quite literally!! 💡

Your nervous system is your body’s electrical system, carrying every message between your brain and body, powering every organ, muscle, and cell. ⚡️

Think of it like the wiring in your home. 💡 If the lights in one room start to flicker, you wouldn’t keep changing the bulbs or adding more lamps. You’d go to the breaker box to see if a fuse is blown. That’s where the real issue begins.

Your spine works the same way. When one of the spinal segments, especially in the upper cervical area, shifts out of alignment, it can interfere with the flow of information between your brain and body. 🧠That interference doesn’t just dim the lights in one room; it impacts your entire system.

You might notice it as fatigue, tension, poor focus, sleep trouble, or digestive changes. Those are like flickering lights, signals that something deeper needs attention. A chiropractic adjustment restores clear communication so your nervous system can do its job and your body can function fully.

When that connection is restored, your body turns its “power” back on. Healing happens more efficiently, your energy feels real and steady, and your system responds to life with strength and clarity. That’s the difference between chasing symptoms and getting to the source. 🌿
