🧠 Did you know the CDC removed crawling as a developmental milestone?

Their reasoning?
👉 Some kids don’t crawl.

And sure—we hear that from patients all the time.

But here’s what we also know 👇
Ask any pediatric bodyworker (chiropractor, PT, OT, etc.) and we’ll all say the same thing:
We’ll gladly sweep the feet of our kids to get them crawling (not literally 😜).

Why? Because crawling:
✔️ Builds balance & coordination
✔️ Develops the cross-crawl pattern of the brain
✔️ Supports communication between the left & right hemispheres

Here’s the kicker 👀
When someone experiences a TBI or concussion, one of the first rehab steps is…
👉 Crawling patterns.

That’s how foundational this movement is.

If crawling matters enough for brain injury recovery, it matters for early development too 💙

💬 Parents—did your child crawl?

🔥 Core Training Done Right: What the Evidence Says! 🔥

Your core isn’t just your abs — it’s the engine that stabilizes your spine, supports movement, and helps you perform better and move pain-free. According to a large systematic review, all types of core training can significantly reduce pain and improve function — but different styles have different strengths depending on your goals! 🧠💪

✨ Key Takeaways:
🏃‍♂️ Pilates-style core training is especially effective for reducing pain in people with chronic low back pain — great for improved comfort and movement quality.

⚙️ Core resistance training (think progressive strengthening with resistance) shows the strongest improvements in overall function — ideal for athletes and those looking to move better in real-world activities.

⚖️ Core stability training also helps — especially with controlled movement and coordination — and works well alongside strength-focused approaches.

⏱️ Training Tips from the Research:
✔️ 3–4 sessions/week is effective for most core training types.

✔️ You don’t have to train forever — consistent, targeted sessions of 30–60 minutes still lead to real results.

💡 Why It Matters:
A well-rounded core plan reduces pain, improves function, and enhances performance whether you’re on the field, at the gym, or living life to the fullest. At Carlson Chiropractic, we blend these evidence-based approaches with personalized care to help you move better and feel stronger — from youth athletes to weekend warriors. 🙌

Did you know Dr. Allison became a chiropractor because of shoulder pain?

She DID!

Dr. Allison hurt her shoulder playing softball and went through all kinds of NSAIDS, physical therapy, massage, and rest periods (however she wasn't very compliant with those) but was constantly working on managing the pain. It was her mom who suggested she try chiropractic care. At her first adjustment, Dr. Allison was in so much pain she wouldn't even let the chiropractor touch her shoulder! She had her spine adjusted ONLY and felt so good she agreed to return the next day and let her examine her shoulder.

Real people. Real results.
When you treat the source — everything gets better.
Proud of this week’s wins! 💙

Jane hasn't been able to lift her arm above her shoulder for 6 months! She thought she was going to have to live with it the rest of her life!!! Now she has full range of motion AND was able to bake Christmas cookies all weekend with very minimal pain!

If your shoulder is aching, stiff, or weak… it might not be your shoulder.
Here are THREE signs the issue is actually in your neck 👇

1.) There is no mechanism of injury (MOI) - like I did it in my sleep, I bent over to pick up a tissue. You don't hurt your shoulder without some time of injury, impact, overuse, etc.

2.) You have weakness in strength in one arm compared to the other side.

3.) You can't open jars anyore or you are dropping things.

Why do athletes need chiropractors?

Just a couple of Dr. Allison’s favorite reasons:

1. Athletes need optimal joint motion 👍
2. Chiropractic can identify problems before they become injuries. 🤩
3. Faster recovery = Higher training capacity 🏋️‍♂️
4. Nervous system efficiency 🚗
5. Complements strength training, PT, and Speed and Agility ⚽️
