We’re nearing the end of the year, which means two things:
💫 Your body is asking for a reset and your FSA/HSA dollars may still be waiting to be used.

( The following is in the actual Post Pic above)
If you have an FSA (Flexible Spending Account) or HSA (Health Savings Account), many plans allow you to use those pre-tax funds for chiropractic care — but most FSA balances don’t roll over into the new year.
So this is your gentle nudge: don’t leave your wellness dollars unused.
Chiropractic care is more than an adjustment — it’s a recalibration of your nervous system, your mobility, your breath, and your energy.
This is the perfect time to realign before the new year begins.
And while you’re at it…
🌿 Plan ahead.
Set the tone for 2026 with a wellness routine that truly supports your body. Pre-book your January/February sessions now so you move into the new cycle grounded, centered, and cared for.
Your body remembers everything — the tension, the stress, the holding.
Give yourself the gift of release, clarity, and balance.

Gratitude is powerful medicine, and self-care is part of the practice. May your day be filled with warmth, balance, and a sense of ease.

Your Jaw Might Be the Missing Link to Your Headaches
Did you know your jaw alignment can affect so much more than how you chew or talk?
At The Shift Chiropractic in Oakland, Dr. Irina helps people discover how tension or imbalance in the TMJ (temporomandibular joint) can ripple through the whole body, from your head and neck all the way down your spine.
Gentle jaw adjustments can help with:
✨Migraines & tension headaches
✨Jaw pain, locking, or clicking
✨Neck and shoulder tightness
✨Ear pressure or ringing
✨Teeth grinding and jaw clenching from stress
When your jaw moves freely and your nervous system is in balance, you may notice:
✨ Better posture & head alignment
✨ Less stress and tension
✨ More ease with chewing, breathing, and sleeping
Your body is one connected system and your jaw is a key part of that puzzle.
📍Located in the heart of Oakland, CA, Dr. Irina focuses on holistic chiropractic care that gets to the root cause, not just the symptoms.

👉 Book your next visit with and experience the shift for yourself.
