Field trip day! Dr. Arlen helps me target the exact right spots, the exact right way. This is part of how I stay in shape so I can fix all you people and not break myself! I get adjusted every week, exercise daily, and ask Dr. Arlen what movements I need most to balance everything out. Life is hard on your body. Don’t get too bent out of shape! Specific chiropractic adjustments for spinal health + corrective exercise = magic.

Ever wonder if your kid’s head is screwed on straight?? I can fix that.

It boosts their immunity.

If extremely important for making sure they grow up strong and whole.

Ever seen a tree that was planted wrong?? They grow crooked.

You don’t want your child growing up crooked do you? Their growth plates are still developing. It’s vital to their wellbeing to have great spinal alignment.

This is the guy from my last post. Multiple pelvic fractures from a big fall. I met him a year and a half after the fall and surgery.

He was still unable to work and effectively fill his role as a FULL -TIME SINGLE DAD.

He returned to work within a month of beginning care, and he just keeps getting better.

So glad the surgeons put his broken bones back together after an 18’ fall, but what about the lasting damage from misalignment??

I LOVE my patients. Best job in the world. Patients like this are probably my favorite tho.

Something about how helpless they are really gets me ♥️

Most adults are capable of putting on a smile even if they don’t like something.

Special needs kids with no filters tho?
Now that’s is a real test of a chiropractor’s hands.

When pro athletes, babies, kids, and even non-verbal special needs adults genuinely love their adjustments you know you’re doing it right.

There’s a reason they always say “keep your chin up!” Having a downcast posture is no way to live…For a lot of reasons.

Forward slouching, primate posture, is linked to lower brain function, depressed/anxious moods, poor cognition, and poor health.

Rolling forward like a gorilla and lifting heavy weights is a great way to blow out a disc. Form / proper spinal alignment is everything.

An uplifted heart and proper lordotic (upward facing) curves is linked to all kinds of better health.

Home from college and recovering from taking a turn with the flu. This family of 6 is here for their tune ups so they don’t get wrecked with 😷 So they recover fast and don’t relapse.

People that get adjusted on a regular basis have stronger immune systems. Studies show it’s 200% better than people with poor spinal health.

Regularly means often, and on a consistent basis. I prefer weekly.

That’s so you don’t get worked every time someone near you gets sick.

That’s why at 43 I’m not broken from my old injuries. I’m healing. And killing it.

So are my patients. 💪❤️‍🩹

We get adjusted to live our best lives. It’s a performance enhancement. A life upgrade.

What better glow up is there than strong and confident posture?
