People always ask how I take care of my body as a chiropractor 👩🏽⚕️
Here’s the truth — I get adjusted once a week typically. Whether I have symptoms or not, because that’s what’s best for MY body.
Because healing isn’t a one-and-done thing… it’s maintenance.
On my 21st birthday, I was in a car accident that left me with a neck injury, and every few years it likes to remind me it’s still there — especially in “mom season.” You know… holding a baby in weird positions, nursing half-twisted, sweeping one-handed while balancing a toddler 😅
This morning was one of those days. I flared it up again — but here’s the difference ⬇️
Because my nervous system is regularly cared for, I’ll bounce back fast.
No weeks of pain. No chronic headaches. Just a quick reminder that life happens… and my body knows what to do.
And it’s not just me — just a couple weeks ago, I had a mom come in who used to be an athlete. She’d had some pelvic dysfunction that showed up during both pregnancies. She’s stayed consistent with care before, during, and years after — but recently flared her back after weeks of lifting her growing toddler on her hip.
Typically, an injury like that — a pelvic sprain — would take 6-8 weeks of focused care to heal. But because her body was already primed to heal and her nervous system well-regulated, she was back to normal in less than half that time. 🙌
That’s what maintenance care does — it doesn’t mean you’ll never have a flare-up.
It means your body knows exactly how to heal when it does.
