If you are immediately given another prescription for an ear infection, RUN! According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, they now recommend a watch-and-wait approach due to the rare cases of a bacterial ear infection. A gentle, specific chiropractic adjustment can help the body move that fluid out…without the harmful side effects of an antibiotic!

“Before chiropractic care, Luca would get an ear infection every time he got sick. At one point, he had 5 ear infections in 4 months. Our pediatrician suggested going to an ENT for tubes in his ears or some other sort of surgery, but I didn’t want to go that route if I could avoid it... Since we started chiropractic care, Luca has not had a single ear infection.” 👏

At Thrive, we specialize in identifying patterns of nervous system stress. Then our gentle adjustments help restore proper function to the entire system, improving drainage, enhancing immunity, and breaking the chronic infection cycle naturally. 💙

If your little one is struggling with ear infection after ear infection, give us a call or head to the link in bio to schedule 🤍

If sounds, textures, or changes in routine send your child into a meltdown..

You don’t have to keep walking on eggshells — and they’re not “just being difficult.”

These sensory storms are real... and they start in the nervous system, not just behavior or personality.

In this free webinar, Calming the Sensory Storm, Dr. Tony Ebel is going to break down:
⚡ What Sensory Processing Challenges really are
🧠 How it impacts sleep, digestion, focus, and development
💪 Why some kids don’t respond to PT, OT, or speech like you hoped
💛 And how calming the nervous system can change everything

If daily life feels like a constant sensory storm… THIS is where you’ll finally understand why — and what to do next.
Join us in attending a FREE webinar TONIGHT!

Here’s what nobody explains: You can’t build a healthy immune system on a stressed nervous system. It’s like trying to build a house starting with the roof...everything collapses. 😵‍💫

The right order changes EVERYTHING: Foundation → Sleep → Movement → Nutrition → Natural Immunity. 🙌
When you address the nervous system first through Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic at Thrive, suddenly all those healthy building blocks you’ve been working so hard to create in your family start to work.

Today we pause to honor and thank all who have served — our Veterans and the families who stand beside them. 🇺🇸❤️

We are deeply grateful for the courage, sacrifice, and service of the men and women who have fought to protect our freedom — freedom that means everything, in so many ways.

At Thrive, we’re reminded daily how precious that freedom truly is — the freedom to choose how we care for our bodies, raise our families, and make the health decisions that align with our values. We’re proud to care for so many Veterans and their families within our office and are continually inspired by their strength, resilience, and example.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your service, your bravery, and your dedication. 🇺🇸

We get asked all the time what else people can do to support their body and nervous system between adjustments, and red light therapy is always one of our top answers 🙌🏻

Red light therapy helps support the body at a cellular level by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, boosting energy production, and promoting faster recovery. When paired with chiropractic care, it can be a powerful way to help your body heal and function its best💪

At our house, we use a brand called Lumebox and absolutely love it. It’s become part of our regular wellness routine, especially during these darker months when our bodies crave a little extra support.

Right now, Lumebox is running an amazing Black Friday sale, so we wanted to share the love with all of you who are always asking what we personally use and recommend. ❤️

If you’ve been curious about red light therapy, this is a great time to look into it! Feel free to ask us questions, we’re happy to help you find ways to support your body naturally. 🌞

We get it, life gets busy. But when it comes to your chiropractic care, consistency is everything! 🙌

Just like brushing your teeth or hitting the gym, adjustments build on each other. Each visit keeps your nervous system clear, your body adapting, and your progress moving forward. 🧠💪

Skipping appointments? That’s like doing half a workout and wondering why you’re not seeing results. 😅

So stick to your recommendations, your body (and your future self) will thank you! ✨
