Friendly reminder that I’ll be out of town next week ✈️

If something already hurts…
this is not the week to “see if it fixes itself.” 😅

Your neck, back, and nervous system rarely wake up and choose healing on their own.

If you’ve been thinking:
“I should probably get adjusted…”

…this is your sign.

Appointments before Wednesday are disappearing fast, and future you would really prefer not to spend next week uncomfortable.

Call or message the office before the calendar fills 🤍

One of my favorite parts of pediatric chiropractic care…

When a baby looks up, makes eye contact, and completely melts into connection 💛

Babies don’t understand “treatment.”
They respond to how their nervous system feels.

When their body feels supported and regulated, you often see:
✨ more eye contact
✨ calmer movement
✨ easier settling
✨ better engagement

Pediatric adjustments are incredibly gentle and always tailored to the child in front of me. Most parents are surprised how soft and connection-focused the process really is.

Healthy nervous system function supports everything from feeding and sleep to development and comfort.

If you’ve ever wondered whether chiropractic care could help your little one, you can always message the office with questions. I’m happy to help you decide if it’s the right fit.

Moms always tell me:
“I don’t know what I did… the pain just started.”

Meanwhile their daily life includes:
✔ carrying the baby
✔ hauling groceries
✔ pushing carts
✔ laundry baskets
✔ diaper bags
✔ zero recovery time

Pain usually isn’t ONE injury.

It’s nervous system overload + repetitive load your body never got to reset from.

Your body isn’t weak.

It’s adapting to everything you ask of it.

If this is you, your nervous system may need support, not just stretching or a self care session.

It would greatly help me if you followed my account, especially if you want info on CGMs (continuous glucose monitors) or balancing your (or your child’s) glucose metabolism! You would be surprised how much your nervous system impacts your glucose!

Most people think chiropractic is about back pain.

But in our office?
We start with the nervous system.

Because when your nervous system is overwhelmed, your body doesn’t regulate well.

That can look like:

• constant neck + shoulder tension
• headaches that keep coming back
• feeling exhausted even when you’re trying to do everything “right”
• kids who can’t settle, sleep, or regulate

Your body isn’t failing you.
It’s adapting to stress.

Our job isn’t to “crack backs.”

It’s to help your nervous system shift out of survival mode so your body can function the way it was designed to.

📍 If you’re local and this sounds like you, send me the word **RESET** and I’ll tell you what a first visit actually looks like.

“If you go to a chiropractor, you’ll have to go forever…”

😜 Just kidding.

You may want to!

When your nervous system runs efficiently, your body:
• regulates stress better
• moves better
• recovers faster
• adapts to life more easily
Chiropractic isn’t about dependency.
It’s about function.

When your body feels this good, you choose to keep supporting it. ✨

This isn’t about cracking backs. And it’s definitely not because something is “wrong.”

Pediatric adjustments are gentle, intentional, and focused on the nervous system; the control center for growth, sleep, focus, and regulation.

Wellness care means supporting kids BEFORE they struggle.
Because a calm, connected nervous system changes everything! 🙌🙌

🧠 Research shows chiropractic adjustments can improve brain function by more than 20%!

That’s because your spine and nervous system work together. When spinal joints move properly, it sends clearer signals to the brain, helping it process information more efficiently. ⚡

Better brain-body communication can mean improved focus, coordination, mood, and even stress response. ✨

Your adjustment isn’t just about pain relief, it’s about optimizing how your entire nervous system performs.

Parents: when verbal directions pile up faster than a child’s nervous system can process them.

What we often label as “not listening,” “defiant,” or “distracted” is often a nervous system that’s overwhelmed and still trying to organize information. Kids don’t process input the same way adults do, especially when stress, fatigue, hunger, or big emotions are involved.

Through a nervous-system-based lens, behavior is communication. Before we correct the behavior, we have to support regulation. Fewer words. Slower pace. More connection.

Save this for the next time you are tempted to repeat yourself and reach out for an appointment for you and your kids! Let’s get both or your nervous systems running optimally. 🛟

Is your baby dealing with reflux? SWIPE ➡️ to learn how chiro care can help.

Before you conjure up an image of those ridiculous Y strap TikTok adjusting videos, we first want to address that PEDIATRIC chiropractic is not even remotely the same.

Make sure to find a chiropractor who has special training, like Dr. Tara at Avid Health and Wellness Chiropractic and binge the videos on our page so you can see what an infant adjustment looks like for yourself. 😉

We would love to help support your baby during this hard time! Call our office 🚨952.215.9411🚨 to schedule their first visit.
