Because we don’t want you to wait till December 28th to remember you have funds in your HSA/FSA that won’t roll over to next year, make sure to see what you have and remember to use them!

We accept HSA and FSA cards, but you can also use them on anything from diapers, to supplements to pillows (and SO many other other things!).

Here’s an idea!

Now that the shutdown is nearing an end we will be enacting a service that we’ll charge every federal elected congress person 1000x times the price for our services. We will then hold that sum in reserve to help pay for military and federal employees care of if they require.

Please let your federally elected congress person know, we have made plenty of these slots available and look forward to seeing them in our office.

If you’re using this formula, check your batch number!

Very worrying.

Well…everyone is sitting wrong.

The first thing that should touch the chair, and the largest thing that touches the chair, should be the gluteus maximus AKA your butt muscle by pushing it back/sticking your butt out as you go to sit down, you create low back extension and cushion in the back as opposed to putting stress on the back when you’re sitting with your hips tucked underneath you.

You’ll know you’ve got the right sitting posture when you feel pressure on the Sitz bone and not on your tailbone.

If you’re pregnant, proper posture is important for making sure that baby stays in the ideal position.

There are so many changes happening outside of the obviously growing baby/bump when you’re pregnant.

Here’s some of our fave ones we can across while developing The BIRD Method:

🐦 The lordosis increases by 50-80%, it helps keep your center of gravity more balanced, but also lots of pressure on those facet joints.
🐦 Your spine grows in length by 10-15 mm.
🐦 You can have greater than 10 mm separation of the p***c symphysis…HELLO, Lightning Crotch!

Gotta admit I’m guilty of not having the best posture when I’m a passenger princess…but now I’ll think twice!

🚗 One Crash. Three Postures. Three Fates.
Most people don’t think about it — but the way you sit in a car can decide whether you walk away from an accident… or never walk again.
When an airbag deploys, it doesn’t gently inflate — it explodes outward at over 300 km/h.
If you’re sitting upright, seatbelt on, feet on the floor — that force is absorbed safely, exactly how the system was designed.
But if your feet are on the dashboard, everything changes.
That same explosion can drive your knees into your face, break your legs, or crush your hips in an instant.
Even crossing your legs or slouching can twist your body into positions your bones can’t survive when the impact hits.
We tell ourselves, “It’s just a short trip” or “I’m just relaxing for a second.”
But crashes don’t wait for you to sit right.
So next time you buckle up — remember this rule:
🦶 Feet down.
🔒 Seatbelt on.
💪 Back straight.
Because comfort lasts a moment — but safety lasts a lifetime. 🚦

In The Journal of Manipulative Therapy, Heidi Haavik found that in the pregnant population (second trimester and beyond), the levator hiatal area significantly increased at rest following a chiropractic adjustment vs non-pregnant participants.

So what does that mean? When a pregnant woman gets adjusted, her pelvic floor gets to practice relaxing…it’s significant because a PROPERLY relaxed pelvic floor means that there’s a chance of less interventions, shorter labor times, and less likely to tear.

Now THAT’S what I’m talking about.

I’ve been in SSTL this weekend, taking a seminar on Perinatal Functional Movement. They shared a fun fact that if you get regular chiropractic care throughout your pregnancy that it decreases labor times by 25%…how awesome is that?!

If you’ve been a patient of ours in the last few years, you’ve seen it firsthand…The BIRD Method, that we have developed and worked on meticulously when we’re not at the office shows us (and you) what your body craves in real-time. We are able to see which stretches and exercises will help you function your best. You can tell what may need some tweaks in your day-to-day life. And the cool part is? It’s all based on evidence and research. Eventually we want it to be something that every prenatal bodyworker will want to know and implement in their offices.

We understand the government shutdown is affecting your income and things in your life get prioritized to focus only on what is MOST important, food and shelter for your families. We want to let you know we are here for you and don’t want anything to stand in the way of getting care so we are going to hold off on charging for any appointments to our federal employees and their families until things get back up and running, whether you’re a new patient* or have established care with us.

Just let us know you’re dealing with this and we will note it.

We will also be open to a payment plan if you wind up accruing a high bill when all is said and done…we want to make this as pain free of a process as possible for everyone!

*Any new patients we will ask for a $40 deposit on your visit.
