A day in the life of a family chiro… ❤️

11/03/2025

We are so excited to welcome our next student intern, Mikaela Martin! Student interns have the incredible opportunity to learn, grow, ask questions, build confidence, and get hands on experience in a chiropractic office, as they complete the final months of their requirements to graduate.👩🏻‍🎓

Here are some fun facts about Mikaela:

1. I was born and raised in Maryland - where crabs, Old Bay & football are the holy trinity.
2. I grew up a competitive dancer, which not only was my sport but also what first introduced me to chiropractic care.
3. My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving (because what could be better than food, football & family!)
4. I am a reality TV fanatic, and one of my bucket list dreams is to go to a live taping.
5. My love for kids started early, as babysitting was my very first job. It taught me how rewarding it is to work with kids, and it’s only the start of why I want to dedicate my career to caring for kids and families.

If you meet Mikaela over the next few weeks, please introduce yourself and help us make her feel welcome! ❤️

👀 DID YOU KNOW… 👀

Long labors, difficult deliveries, assisted (forceps or vacuum) deliveries, and c-sections can cause stress on a tiny newborn’s spine. 😳

It’s hard to visualize these experiences causing a baby “stress” on their body… until it happens to you. I can’t tell you how many moms come to see us with their newborn, with wide eyes, sharing their birth story and saying, “I just didn’t know it would be like this.” And in the same sentence.. “my baby is so stiff, tense and seems uncomfortable. We can’t put her/him down. They’re always fussy or crying.” 💔

Should babies be stiff, tense and uncomfortable? No! Do we think this MIGHT affect their feeding, sleep, tummy time, and overall comfort in the first few weeks and months of their life? Yes!

If your pediatrician writes you off, if they tell you “this is normal, they’ll grow out of it,” or “they just have reflux… let’s get them on an antacid…” how does that feel? It doesn’t feel good…. but it happens ALL the time. It doesn’t have to, if you know there are natural, safe and gentle options to help your baby feel more comfortable and connected in their body. ❤️‍🩹

Our passion is educating and empowering mothers and families to listen to their gut, ask questions, and take charge of their health and the health of their children. You don’t have to accept “it is what it is” while your child suffers.

Consider chiropractic with ICPA trained chiropractors. We are here for you and it is our mission to help you feel supported during this most precious and vulnerable chapter. ❤️

📣📣 LAST WEEK’S WIN:

“Baby was breech… now she is head down! At first I felt a lot of movement, and now I feel a sense of peace & relief!”

The Webster technique impacts the biomechanics of the body AND the nervous system. With those areas in sync, often baby finds a comfortable, head down position and mom finds comfort and relief!

We love supporting women through their motherhood transition… and beyond! 🩷

This! 🩷

This is pediatric chiropractic…not what you think or have been shown by others. It’s becoming popular for social media influencers to try and score likes, comments, or shares by rage-baiting about chiropractic. They’ll find a random chiropractor with no pediatric training posting inflammatory videos to incite the same type of engagement for their own wannabe social media presence, and use it to denounce all of chiropractic. We’re tired of the bad faith discussions around this profession. Chiropractic is not about cracking a spine, and it’s not about pain relief, either. Chiropractic is about the relationship between the spine and nervous system. If the trauma we experience from the pushing/pulling on our neck during birth, to the accumulation of physical/chemical/emotional stress throughout life causes misalignment/restrictions in the spine it will create adverse tension within the nervous system and interfere with how our body can regulate and coordinate function, making our body less capable of adapting to the changes we experience every day. Does this contribute to pain? Sure. Does it contribute to the most common issues we see in children like breastfeeding, colic, torticollis, reflux, etc? Absolutely. But it also make it harder for us to go about life expressing health at our fullest potential. This week a mom shared with us that since starting care for her 4 year old she noticed she’s sleeping better, less emotionally volatile, and overall happier. Of course she is! Our bodies work better well-adjusted…and it’s gentle, safe, and effective for all ages!

Happy 13 years, Tokar Family Chiropractic! 🥳

It’s hard to believe how fast time is flying! 🤯

When I first graduated, I started my own practice in Buckhead, GA. What a humbling experience that was! After a year, a lot of growth, blood, sweat & tears, my husband was going through some serious health issues and we made the difficult decision to move back to Florida.

I joined an established practice for a year with mostly older patients, got pregnant and lost my job. I interviewed elsewhere but once the doctors found out I was pregnant, the call backs went silent. Thankfully I was able to find some coverage work for another 7ish months in the personal injury area. I knew this wasn’t for me but I was grateful to have a job while pregnant.

Once I had my son, I took off some time to heal and bond. I soon realized there were no practices in my area that truly called to me, and I didn’t want to settle working for someone or somewhere that I didn’t feel passionate about.

A few months into my maternity leave, I was given the incredible opportunity to start my own practice within an established office. I planned, I prepped, I got everything I needed in order, and with a 6 month old baby and a dream to care for families and women, I opened my doors!

Building a practice while raising children and creating meaningful connections in our community has been wonderful, exhausting and humbling! I am grateful for every person and family who puts their trust in me, grateful for every referral, grateful for every kind word, and yes, even grateful for any love I receive on social media (which is my least favorite part about my work… but we do what we have to do!)

Thank you to Dr. Markson & Dr. Hoder for having faith in me and supporting me to have a practice and be a present mom in my kids’ lives. I am more grateful than you’ll ever know and I love and appreciate you both!

To help me celebrate lucky 13, please leave a fun or special memory below… send me a picture if you have any from your time in the office… leave a kind review on Google, or just simply keep showing up for yourself and your health. There’s nothing that brings me greater joy… I love you all! ❤️

Working with children is our passion! 👶🏻👧🏽👦🏻

Helping kids regulate their nervous system in a safe, welcoming, and warm environment is extremely important to us and what we strive to achieve daily.

In our practice, we see all types of children, from neurotypical to neurodivergent. 🧠💡

Some of the kids we see are high functioning, talkative and communicate easily, while others need a little more support and grace to get comfortable. On any given day, you may find us sitting on the floor or singing with a child, loading up a YouTube video on our computer screens, having mom or dad hold up a tablet with their favorite video or game, introducing tools we use for their care and giving the child a chance to touch and become acclimated with them. We will assist parents with any and all distractions and tools of comfort that are unique to their child. 🖍️💻

We are honored and grateful to serve so many beautiful families on every part of the spectrum in our practice and community. We thank you for your continued trust! 🙏🏻

And thank you, again, to for so beautifully capturing some tender moments shared with a very special boy we have taken care of for over 8 years. 🧩💙
