Your desk posture matters more than you think 🖥️🦴
Slouching or leaning forward for hours can strain your spine, muscles, and nerves—leading to stiffness, headaches, and fatigue. Sitting with good posture helps your spine stay aligned, reduces stress on your nervous system, and keeps your body working the way it’s meant to. Small posture changes today can make a big difference long-term!

Karie is demonstrating what proper form can look like, whether you are sitting or standing at your desk! Seated, she is keeping her computer at eye-level to allow decreased strain on her neck. You can see this demonstrated while she is standing too. Her arms and legs are as close to 90 degrees as possible.

As a rule of thumb, follow the 90-90-90 rule!

🩻🦴 Why X-Rays Matter in Chiropractic Care

X-rays give us a clearer picture of what’s happening inside your spine. They help chiropractors evaluate joint health and structural changes so care can be tailored specifically to you.

When appropriate, X-rays allow us to adjust with intention—choosing techniques that prioritize safety, precision, and long-term spinal health.

Our clinic has begun implementing X-rays into care in order to better treat patients and to take out the guess work!

Lift smart, protect your spine 💪🦴
Bending and twisting while lifting heavy objects puts extra stress on your spine and nerves. Using proper lifting form—hinging at the hips, keeping the load close, and engaging your core—helps protect your back and keeps your body moving well for the long run.

👶 Fun Fact: Chiropractic care isn’t just for adults—infants, kids, athletes, and seniors can all receive age-appropriate, gentle care.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💙 Chiropractic Care for Every Stage of Life 💙👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

At our practice, we have the privilege of caring for patients through every season of life. From infants and growing kids, to busy parents, athletes, and seniors—we tailor care to meet each individual where they are.

No two bodies are the same, and no two adjustments look alike. That’s why we focus on gentle, age-appropriate techniques designed to support movement, comfort, and healthy nervous system function at every stage.

We love being a family practice—watching kids grow, helping parents stay active, and supporting grandparents in doing what they love. Chiropractic isn’t just about pain relief—it’s about helping families move, function, and thrive together.

🪑➡️🙂 Why Seated Neck Adjustments?

• Gentle and precise
• Comfortable for many patients
• Helps restore motion in the cervical spine
• Supports healthy nerve communication

Not every adjustment looks the same—because every patient is different.

Fun Fact:
🧠 Your Spine Protects Over 45 Miles of Nerves 🧠
Your spine isn’t just about posture or movement — it protects more than 45 miles of nerves that carry messages between your brain and body.
When your spine moves well, those nerves can communicate clearly, helping your muscles, organs, and immune system function at their best.
A healthy, mobile spine = a better connected body. ⚡

🚗 What Is Whiplash? 🚗

Whiplash occurs when the neck is suddenly forced forward and backward — commonly during car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. This rapid motion can strain joints, muscles, ligaments, and irritate nerves in the neck and upper back.

How chiropractic care can help:
✔️ Restore proper joint motion
✔️ Reduce muscle tension and stiffness
✔️ Support nervous system function
✔️ Improve mobility and healing over time

Additional therapies often used during recovery include:
• E-stim to help calm muscle spasms and reduce pain
• Soft tissue work & scraping to break up tight, restricted tissue
• Dry needling to release trigger points and improve muscle function

Combining adjustments with targeted therapies helps the body heal more efficiently and comfortably.

Fun Fact Friday🎉:
🔊 What Is the “Pop” During an Adjustment? 🔊

That popping sound you sometimes hear during an adjustment is simply gas being released from the joint, similar to cracking your knuckles.

✔️ The pop does NOT determine whether an adjustment worked
✔️ Joints can move and function better with or without a sound
✔️ The goal of chiropractic care is improved motion, nervous system function, and overall movement, not noise

Some joints pop, some don’t — both can still be adjusted effectively.

🖐️ Wrist Adjustments Can Help More Than You Think 🖐️

Chiropractic wrist adjustments may help improve motion and reduce tension associated with:

• Wrist stiffness
• Repetitive strain (typing, gripping, lifting)
• Carpal tunnel–type symptoms
• Forearm and elbow tension

When the joints move better, the nerves and muscles can function better too.
