We like to think of your spine and nervous system as your body’s breaker box. When everything’s connected and firing right, your whole system hums along — energy flows, messages travel, and you feel good.

But when one switch flips off — maybe a subluxation or tension builds — it doesn’t just affect that one area. Your body starts to compensate, and before long, other “circuits” are overloaded too.

That’s where chiropractic care comes in. Each adjustment helps flip those breakers back on, restoring clear communication between your brain and body. When everything’s powered up and connected, your body works the way it’s meant to — strong, balanced, and fully alive. ⚡

💡 Myth or Fact: Adjustments Cause Pain

The truth is, chiropractic adjustments don’t cause more pain — but sometimes your body feels a little sore afterward. And that’s actually a good sign.

When we adjust the spine, we’re helping your body break down old patterns of tension and rebuild stronger alignment. That initial soreness? It’s just your muscles talking back, saying, “Hey, you just moved me — why did you move me?”

That temporary response means your body is adapting and healing. As your spine realigns and your nervous system starts to function better, that soreness fades — replaced by improved movement, balance, and relief.

So a little soreness today often means a stronger, healthier tomorrow. 💪

💡 Myth or Fact: An Adjustment Only “Works” if You Hear a Crack

One of the biggest misconceptions in chiropractic care is that if you don’t hear a crack or pop during your adjustment, it didn’t work.

The truth? That sound isn’t what makes an adjustment effective. In fact, sometimes we’re not even aiming for that. Depending on the joint or area being adjusted, the goal isn’t the noise — it’s the movement.

What we’re really looking for is:
✅ Improved range of motion
✅ Better nerve input and communication
✅ Less tension and more balance throughout the body

A good adjustment restores function — not just makes noise. And while those big, twisting “rotary” adjustments you might see online can cause that cracking sound, they’re not always the safest or most effective option.

Here in our office, we focus on precision, comfort, and real results — not just the “pop.”

🧠 Just Because You Don’t FEEL It…

You’ve probably heard the saying, “We only use 10% of our brain.” Well, the same goes for your nerves — we only feel about 10% of the signals they send.

That means pain isn’t always the best indicator of what’s really happening inside your body. For example, this patient came in with low back pain that had only been bothering them for a month. But their X-rays told a different story — bone spurs forming across four levels of the spine, likely building up over the past decade.

So while they were just starting to feel it, the problem had been there all along.

That’s why chiropractic care isn’t just about chasing pain — it’s about prevention. Regular check-ins and adjustments help catch issues early, before they become long-term problems.

Because taking care of your spine before it hurts will always be your best choice. 💪

🤰 My Second Trimester Update

I’m in my second trimester now, and so far this pregnancy has been pretty smooth — which has really put my own advice to the test!

For years, I’ve shared with my patients how to move through pregnancy with less pain and irritation… and now I’m walking that talk myself.

Each week, I’m getting adjusted, eating healthy, staying active, and drinking plenty of water (half my body weight in ounces every day!). And honestly, it’s made such a difference.

I’ve been able to avoid so many of those common pregnancy discomforts:
😴 trouble sleeping
🔥 heartburn
🦴 hip pain
😣 low back pain
😫 round ligament pain.

Regular chiropractic care helps keep your body aligned and your nervous system balanced — which means less tension, better movement, and more comfort for both mom and baby.

It’s been true for my patients for years, and now I can say it’s true for me, too. 💛

💡 Myth or Fact: Adjustments Have to Hurt?

Myth!
Adjustments don’t have to be painful — in fact, they’re designed to do the opposite.

Here in our office, our techniques and setups are built to ease tension and release discomfort, not cause it. From gentle activator tools to drop tables and hands-on adjustments, we tailor every approach to what your body needs most.

Every spine is different, and that’s why we use a variety of methods to help you feel better, move better, and live pain-free — without the fear of “painful adjustments.”

When you think about the field of health and healing, each specialty plays a unique role in supporting your well-being:
• Nutrition fuels your body
• Physical therapy restores movement
• Functional medicine looks for the root causes of imbalance

👉🏼 But at the foundation of it all is one essential system: your nervous system.

If your nervous system is out of balance (what we call a subluxation), other treatments may not be as effective as they should be. It’s like trying to build on a shaky foundation.

Chiropractic care works at that foundational level. By restoring alignment and removing interference in the nervous system, we help ensure your body can function as it was designed to.

That means:
• Nutrition can be absorbed and utilized more effectively
• Physical therapy exercises can deliver better results
• Functional medicine insights can create more meaningful, lasting change

Chiropractic doesn’t completely replace other areas of care—it supports them. It creates the solid base that allows the rest of your healthcare choices to work the way they’re meant to.
