Elevate your health with Elevated Life Family Chiropractic! Family-focused, holistic care that helps

01/01/2026

To start the new year, we want to help people understand what truly creates health—and that’s a salutogenic approach.

Health isn’t just about avoiding illness or chasing symptoms. It’s about supporting the body in creating resilience, adaptability, and balance from the inside out.

A salutogenic approach focuses on function, not fear.
It recognizes that health exists on a continuum—and that your body is always moving in one direction or the other based on how well it’s supported.

That’s why our care is centered on the nervous system.
Your nervous system is the master controller of your body, guiding how you adapt to stress, regulate internally, and express health every single day.

When communication between the brain and body is clear, your body can do what it was designed to do—heal, adapt, and thrive.

We’re not here to chase symptoms.
We’re here to support your body’s innate ability to create true, lasting health.

Here’s to a new year of function, intention, and elevated health 💙

When your little one can’t breathe easily, every parent’s heart breaks.

Croup is that scary, barking cough often paired with labored breathing—especially at night. While it’s commonly caused by viral inflammation of the upper airways, here’s what many parents don’t realize: your child’s nervous system controls their entire respiratory function.

The nerves that support the lungs, diaphragm, and airways originate from the cervical (neck) and thoracic (mid-back) spine. When there’s interference in these areas, the body may struggle to regulate inflammation, coordinate breathing muscles, and activate its natural healing response.

Here’s how chiropractic care supports the respiratory system during croup:
🫁 Reduces nervous system interference in the thoracic spine, improving communication between the brain and lungs
⚡ Supports vagus nerve function, helping regulate airway response and inflammation
💪 Releases tension in the diaphragm and rib muscles, allowing deeper, more effective breathing
🧠 Encourages parasympathetic activation, shifting the body into “rest, heal, and recover” mode
✨ Supports lymphatic drainage in the chest and throat to help clear congestion
🔗 Improves rib mobility and chest expansion, allowing the lungs to fully expand

Parents often notice with consistent chiropractic care:
Easier, less labored breathing
Shorter symptom duration
Fewer recurring croup episodes
Better sleep
Faster recovery
Reduced need for interventions

We’re not treating croup—we’re removing interference so your child’s innate intelligence can do what it does best: heal.

If your little one struggles with croup, asthma, or frequent respiratory challenges, let’s assess their nervous system. When communication improves, everything works better—including those precious little lungs 💙 208-357-1949

If you wake up with jaw pain or headaches — or your dentist keeps mentioning worn enamel — your body is crying out for help 🗣️

Jaw clenching and grinding isn’t just a “stress habit.” It’s your body’s protective response, trying to stabilize an unstable joint and keep your airway open — especially at night.

The problem with mouthguards:
They protect your teeth from damage, but they don’t stop the clenching. They don’t address why your body feels the need to stabilize in the first place. Your nervous system is still in overdrive, your muscles are still firing all night, and the root cause remains unaddressed.

Our ancestors chewed bones, tough meat, gristle, nuts, and seeds — building strong jaws, well-developed facial structures, and powerful tongue muscles. Today’s soft, processed foods require minimal chewing. Over generations, this has contributed to weaker jaws, underdeveloped facial structures, and tongues that lack the strength to rest properly. Add nutrient depletion, and you have widespread jaw instability.

Through gentle, specific adjustments to your neuro-spinal system — including the cranial bones and TMJ — we can help:

✨ Support cranial stability so your body doesn’t compensate with clenching
✨ Release tension in the TMJ and restore proper joint movement
✨ Address tongue tension and improve tongue posture for better airway support
✨ Calm the nervous system so your body feels safe enough to truly rest

When your body is at ease and your nervous system is clear and connected, you no longer need to recruit those jaw muscles for protection.
You can finally rest without being in defense mode.

Jaw clenching is your body asking for stability and regulation — not just a mouthguard.

Let’s get to the root cause.

If my child had an ear infection, this is exactly what I would focus on...

Not just the ear — but the system that controls drainage, immune response, and healing.

Ear infections may be common, but they’re not random. When they keep coming back, it’s often a sign the nervous system is under stress and the body is struggling to adapt.

This post breaks down simple do’s and don’ts to help you stop chasing symptoms and start supporting your child’s body the way it was designed to heal.

✨ Vertebrae of the Month: C6–C7 ✨

Your C6–C7 vertebrae sit at the base of the neck and play a huge role in how your nervous system communicates with your head, shoulders, arms, and upper airway.

When there’s a subluxation at C6–C7, the body may adapt in ways that show up as:
• Headaches or head pressure
• Stiff or tight neck and shoulders
• Allergies or chronic congestion
• Sore throat or frequent throat irritation
• Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arms or hands

These symptoms aren’t random. They’re often signals that the nervous system is under stress and the body is working harder than it should to compensate.

Through gentle, specific tonal chiropractic care, we focus on supporting proper spinal alignment so the nervous system can function the way it was designed to—helping the body regulate, adapt, and heal more efficiently from the inside out.

✨ When communication improves, function improves. ✨

If any of this resonates with you, let’s see how your C6–C7 may be affecting your nervous system.

💙 Your body is always communicating—are you listening?

We all know the holidays are coming.
The busy schedules.
Family gatherings.
Financial stress.
Disrupted routines.
Sensory overload.
And the pressure to show up as your best self when you’re already running on fumes.

Most people wait until they’re completely overwhelmed to ask for help.

But here’s what we’ve learned: the most powerful thing you can do is support your nervous system before the chaos hits.

Think of it like this—you wouldn’t run a marathon without training. The holidays are a marathon for your nervous system, and chiropractic care is how you train.

Here’s how pre-holiday adjustments support natural stress management:

1. You start from a regulated baseline.
If you enter the season already in fight-or-flight, even small stressors feel massive. Consistent chiropractic care helps shift your nervous system out of survival mode and into a parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) state—so you actually have capacity to handle stress.

2. Your body adapts to stress more efficiently.
Chiropractic improves communication between your brain and body, helping your nervous system process and recover from stress more effectively.

3. You’re not running on empty.
When sleep gets disrupted, chiropractic care supports deeper, more restorative rest so your body can recharge.

4. Physical tension doesn’t amplify mental stress.
Releasing stored tension helps your body feel safe—allowing your mind to follow.

5. You build a stress reserve.
Consistent care builds nervous system capacity so you’re starting the season with a full tank—not fumes.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about giving your nervous system a strong foundation to handle the imperfect, messy, beautiful chaos of the holidays.

If you want to enter this season feeling grounded instead of already overwhelmed, now is the time to start.

Your body keeps the score—whether you’re aware of it or not.

Every stressor, every unprocessed emotion, and every trauma your body has experienced is stored in your nervous system. When those experiences aren’t released, your body adapts by staying in survival mode—stuck in fight-or-flight and unable to shift into the rest, heal, and digest state where true healing occurs.

Chronic stress doesn’t just live in your mind—it lives in your nervous system.

When your nervous system is locked in sympathetic overdrive, your body floods with stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. Muscles tighten to protect you, compensation patterns develop, and over time your body physically holds onto stress, trauma, and tension your mind may not even remember.

The result? A weakened immune system, increased inflammation, slowed digestion, disrupted sleep—and a body that forgets what safety feels like, even when no real danger is present.

Suppressed emotions don’t disappear—they’re stored as tension patterns in the body.

Your nervous system is designed to process stress and return to baseline. But when stress becomes chronic or trauma goes unaddressed, the system can get stuck. Deep-rooted nervous system dysregulation sets in, and suddenly “safety” feels unfamiliar—even in calm environments.

Chiropractic care goes far beyond physical pain—it supports healing from the inside out.

At Elevated Life Family Chiropractic, we don’t just adjust the spine—we remove interference from the nervous system so your body can finally release what it’s been holding onto. Through gentle, specific adjustments, we help your nervous system let go of stored stress patterns and shift out of survival mode.

True healing isn’t about adding something from the outside.
It’s about removing interference so your body’s innate intelligence can do what it does best: adapt, regulate, and heal.
