💛 The list of things we are thankful this year is a mile long, but the short list goes like this: our family, our friends, our health, our amazing staff and getting to practice Chiropractic and Acupuncture to treat patients who are often brushed aside as having “normal” symptoms or not feeling heard or cared for.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙏 I am so grateful that I was led to this path and THANK YOU to all of my amazing patients who have trusted us with your care.

After way too many hours hunched over your desk, you’re feeling that familiar stiffness and pain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your shoulders are creeping up to your ears, and your mid-back feels like a solid block of tension.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sound familiar? You’re not alone, AND you don’t have to “accept” it as a part of your daily routine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chiropractic care will help reduce those annoying and aching “knots” and restore balance to your body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gentle adjustments work wonders to realign your spine and restore mobility and ease.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And if all of the insane popping viral chiropractic videos have made you nervous to give it a try, then we will meet you at your comfort level at each and every appointment! {insert line if they have the option to use an activator like “We even have a tool called an Activator if you don’t want a manual adjustment.”}
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
​​But here’s the best part: chiropractic care isn’t just about treating the symptoms – it’s about addressing the root cause of your discomfort and empowering you to live a life free from pain and restriction.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Drop a 🙌 in the comments if you’re ready to say goodbye to shoulder and mid-back tension, or tag a friend who needs chiropractic care!

Some people call me the oil hippy doctor, and I don’t mind! I love utilizing plant medicine with everyday life for everyday occurrences and forget this isn’t normal to most people. Actually, most things in my life aren’t normal compares to the general public 😂

Who’s with me or what are you curious about ?!

Your nervous system might be sending you signals you’re not recognizing! 👀

At in Moline, IL, we 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 us. 309.764.8821.

We see you...

& there’s a reason we are the reigning “low back pain whisperers” in Moline, IL at Birdsell Chiropractic & Acupuncture Clinic.

Many of our patients have tried pain meds, heating pads, endless stretches... you name it. And maybe you even find it hard to enjoy even the simplest things like picking up your kid or grabbing a glass from the top shelf.

The reason many of these “remedies” don’t work? You likely have a STRUCTURAL and/or soft tissue issue that needs to be resolved at the root.

We all have our own unique patterns and ways of moving whether we realize it or not.

These patterns could be from acute injury, yes, but they could even stem from always wearing your wallet in the same back pocket or slouching at your desk.

Our team at Birdsell Chiropractic will focus on addressing the root cause of your pain- no masking symptoms here!

If you’re stuck in the low back pain cycle, don’t give up! Chiropractic care might be the missing piece, and who knows, you might even feel 10 years younger. 😉

Are your kiddos getting adjusted this fall?

We all know what school years looks like - sports, backpacks, homework !

All that fun is strongly encouraged and helps their development in more ways than one, but we also want to be mindful of keeping their body’s in tip-top shape.

Think about it - remember when your child took that tumble off their bike last week? Or maybe they’re walking differently after starting their fall sports? Their bodies are constantly adapting to these adventures!

Gentle chiropractic adjustments by our specially trained pediatric doctors at , help keep everything in balance while they’re growing and exploring.

When your child’s spine is properly aligned, their body simply works better - from fighting off those school time sniffles to getting restful sleep after those long, exciting days.

And let’s be honest - growth spurts don’t take vacations! Many kids shoot up an inch or two during these months, and regular adjustments help ensure their spine grows straight and strong.

The best part? Kids love getting adjusted at .

Our gentle techniques are nothing like adult adjustments - most children find them relaxing and even look forward to their visits.

Bring your kiddos in for a fall tune-up, 309.764.8821
