Your blood pressure numbers tell a story — and it’s one you should know.
High blood pressure often has no symptoms at all, which is why it’s called the “silent” risk factor. You can feel totally fine and still have numbers that put extra strain on your heart, blood vessels, and overall health.

Knowing your numbers gives you control. It helps you catch changes early, make lifestyle adjustments, and talk with your healthcare provider before small issues turn into bigger ones. A quick check at home, at your pharmacy, or during a routine appointment can make a world of difference.

This Heart Health Month, take a minute to check in with your body. Your heart works hard for you — knowing your numbers is one of the simplest ways to take care of it.

February is Heart Health Month, Seattle, and we’re celebrating it together.

At New Leaf Chiropractic & Wellness, we believe a healthier community starts with small daily choices that support a strong heart: moving your body, managing stress, getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, and listening when your body nudges you to slow down.

This month, we’ll be sharing easy tips, local resources, and reminders to help you take care of the one muscle that works for you 24/7. Whether you’re skiing in the mountains, chasing kids at home, commuting through the city, or recovering from an injury, your heart deserves attention and support.

Let’s make February a month of simple habits, better choices, and showing our hearts a little kindness. We’re glad you’re part of our New Leaf community.

Seattle’s winter roads can be unpredictable—black ice, sudden freezes, slippery hills, and a lot of close calls. Even a low-speed fender bender can cause injuries you won’t feel until days later, like:

➡️Neck sprains and whiplash
➡️Lower back pain
➡️Headaches
➡️Shoulder and hip misalignments
➡️Reduced range of motion

The key is timing. Getting evaluated immediately helps you:

⛐Address injuries before they worsen
⛐Document symptoms properly for any PI or insurance claim
⛐Receive a treatment plan that supports safe, natural healing

If you’ve had a recent slip, slide, or collision—even a small one—don’t wait for pain to show up. Early chiropractic care makes all the difference.

Schedule your evaluation as soon as possible.

From Crystal to Stevens to Snoqualmie, ski season is in full swing—and so are the injuries that come with it.
Some of the most common ski-related issues we see at New Leaf include:

❄️Whiplash-like neck strains from sudden falls
❄️Lower back sprains from awkward landings
❄️Knee and hip misalignments from twisting motions
❄️Shoulder injuries from bracing a fall
❄️Wrist and hand pain (yes—those “I fell trying to get up” injuries)

Chiropractic care can help restore motion, reduce inflammation, and support proper healing after a ski mishap. Getting checked early can prevent lingering pain that sticks around long after the snow melts.

Most people wait until they’re hurting to finally seek care… and that’s usually when the recovery is longer, harder, and more expensive.

Wellness chiropractic care works differently. Regular adjustments support better mobility, fewer flare-ups, and a body that functions at its best — before pain shows up. That means fewer doctor visits, fewer missed work days, fewer medications, and far fewer surprises.

A little consistency now can save a lot of physical (and financial!) stress later. Your future self will thank you.

Spinal stenosis happens when the spaces in your spine begin to narrow, putting pressure on the nerves. It’s more common as we age, but that doesn’t mean you have to “just live with it.”

Gentle chiropractic adjustments can help improve mobility, reduce nerve irritation, and support better function so everyday activities feel easier again. Pairing adjustments with simple at-home stretches and movement can make a big difference in long-term comfort.

If you’ve noticed more stiffness, leg pain, or standing/walking has become harder, it may be time for a spine check.

After an accident, what you do in the first days and weeks matters — not just for how you feel now, but for your long-term recovery and your personal injury (PI) claim.

Many accident-related injuries don’t show up immediately. Adrenaline can mask pain, and symptoms like neck pain, headaches, back pain, numbness, or reduced range of motion often appear days or even weeks later. Unfortunately, waiting too long to seek care can make injuries harder to treat and complicate the documentation needed for a PI claim.

Seeing a chiropractor soon after an accident allows injuries to be properly evaluated, documented, and addressed early. Chiropractic care focuses on identifying soft tissue injuries, joint restrictions, and spinal misalignments that commonly occur in car accidents — even when imaging appears normal. Early care helps reduce inflammation, restore movement, and support the body’s healing process before patterns of compensation or chronic pain develop.

From a PI standpoint, timely chiropractic care also creates clear, consistent medical records that connect your injuries directly to the accident. This documentation is critical when working with insurance companies or attorneys and helps protect your claim while ensuring your health remains the top priority.

If you’ve been in an accident — even a minor one — getting checked early isn’t just smart. It’s essential for both your recovery and your case.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is becoming more common than ever. With increased computer use, repetitive hand movements, and time spent on phones and devices, more people are experiencing numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the hands and wrists — often interfering with work, sleep, and daily activities.

Carpal tunnel occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed as it travels through the wrist. While braces, medications, or even surgery are often discussed, many people are looking for a more conservative approach first.

Aspen Laser Therapy has helped many patients reduce pain and inflammation associated with carpal tunnel syndrome without surgery. Laser therapy works by increasing circulation, calming irritated nerves, and supporting tissue repair at a cellular level. When inflammation is reduced and healing is supported, symptoms like pain, tingling, and stiffness often improve, allowing better function and comfort.

If hand or wrist pain has started to feel like “part of the job,” it may be time to explore a natural, non-invasive option for relief.

Your body is designed to heal itself.

Every day, it’s working behind the scenes to repair tissue, regulate systems, and adapt to stress. But for that self-healing process to work efficiently, the body has to be functioning optimally, especially the nervous system, which controls and coordinates everything.

When the spine isn’t moving well or is under constant stress, communication between the brain and body can become disrupted. Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper movement and alignment, helping the nervous system function more efficiently so the body can do what it’s already designed to do: heal, adapt, and thrive.

Chiropractic isn’t about forcing change — it’s about removing interference and supporting the body’s natural ability to restore balance from the inside out.

Shoulder pain doesn’t always start in the shoulder.

Many of the nerves that control the shoulder originate in the neck, so tension, restricted movement, or misalignment in the cervical spine can refer pain into the shoulder, arm, or upper back. This is why some people stretch their shoulder endlessly or ice the area without lasting relief — the true source of the problem may be higher up.

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper motion and alignment in the neck and spine, helping reduce nerve irritation and improve how the shoulder functions. When combined with laser therapy, which helps decrease inflammation and support tissue healing, this approach can be especially effective for easing pain and improving mobility, naturally and without relying solely on medication.

If shoulder pain has been hanging around longer than it should, it may be time to look beyond the shoulder itself.

It’s easy to stay glued to our phones when the weather turns cold, but your body still needs movement, no matter the temperature outside.

Taking a walk, even a short one, helps wake up your joints, improve circulation, support your nervous system, and reduce stress. Movement keeps your spine flexible, your muscles engaged, and your mind clearer — things scrolling simply can’t replace. Fresh air, natural light, and gentle motion all play a role in helping your body function at its best, especially during colder months when we tend to sit more.

So set the phone down, bundle up, and step outside. Your body doesn’t need perfection, it just needs movement.

A fall can happen in an instant — a slip on icy sidewalks, a skiing mishap, or an unexpected accident, but the effects can linger long after the moment passes. Even when injuries seem minor at first, falls often create subtle misalignments, joint restrictions, muscle tension, and inflammation that can lead to pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, or delayed symptoms days or even weeks later.

Chiropractic care offers a gentle, natural approach to recovery after a fall. By restoring proper movement to the spine and joints, chiropractic helps reduce inflammation, support nervous system function, improve mobility, and promote more efficient healing throughout the body. Care is tailored to your injury, comfort level, and stage of recovery, helping your body heal without relying solely on medications.

If you’ve recently fallen — or feel like your body hasn’t quite felt right since — chiropractic care can help address the underlying issues and support a safer, more complete recovery.
