Our goal is for you to be the ultimate advocate for you and your family’s health! In our world, many times we are asking all the questions, only to be given answers that don’t sit quite right with us, or just seem like a bandaid solution to a bigger problem.

👶🏻 While chiropractic from a young age may make some people say “hmm…”, here are some questions we should be asking from Day 1:

🌸 Were Mom & Dad stressed during the time of conception?

🤰🏻 Was Mama’s pelvic and spinal alignment addressed during pregnancy?

⚡️ Was labor traumatic? Even the slightest change in Mom and Dad’s plans for birth can make a difference.

👉🏻 How is everyone feeling post-partum? This means Mom, Dad, and Baby!

💤 How are sleeping and eating patterns settling into the new routine?

♥️ All of these things play a big factor in how well Baby settles into life outside the womb. Mom & Dad staying balanced and healthy are so SO important, too. This is the reason why we are certain that chiropractic care can make all the difference right off the bat!

Tech Neck! 🤳🏻
We strongly urge taking a look at your screen time in your phone settings… it can be very humbling! ✨
Our world is a digital whirlwind, and screens are just a part of it. We should be focusing now more than ever on maintaining natural posture. Why? 🤔
The most critical region of your nervous system lies in… you guessed it… your neck! From focus to memory, from vision to ears… it all takes a knew on the sidelines when stress is prominent! It’s time to get that stress out! 🙅🏼‍♀️
Restoring the nervous system early in life is critical. Regular adjustments is our secret way to make sure your family’s screen time doesn’t have a negative impact on them! ♥️♥️

We hope that you’ve taken the time to get some relaxation and self care in this weekend! 💆🏻‍♀️ With a new week approaching tomorrow, we thought we would give y’all a little science on why chiropractic is ESSENTIAL for your wellness routine.
We are in an era where the stressors around us (our phones, excess radiation, screens, certain people, our diet, and so many more!) have caused us to operate in a state of sympathetic dominance. And, most of us don’t even know it! 😳
When this happens, your body goes into survival mode. The misalignments in your spine tell your nervous system that it’s STRESSED, and even your “relaxed state” will carry undertones of unnecessary stress. 🥵
The chiropractic adjustment, over time, wakes up and calms down your nervous system to be able to communicate with CRITICAL organs in the body and allow them to function properly, keeping your energy high, your stress low, and improving how you respond to the stressful things that life brings. 🙌🏻
Sometimes, we don’t really know what “relaxed” feels like until we’re restored from the inside out! 🌈✨

Those times of the year that come around when it just seems like there’s something in the air 🌳 that has everyone reaching for the tissues more than normal…not the most fun, right?! 🤧 We get it, we see this pop up as a common issue in our office!
One of the best things that we can suggest is to make sure that you’re well connected within! 💫
While your body is meant to have a certain response to irritants 🙅 that enter your breathing system, chiropractic can help CALM your nervous system so that your body doesn’t have an OVERREACTION to irritants!
Don’t let your nose overshadow the beauty of the spring season! 🌼 We’d love to help you!

The Autonomic Nervous System: How it Works in Kiddos ✨
In a perfectly healthy kiddo’s nervous system, certain functions are performed without conscious thought. These functions control:
💩 Control of Digestion/ Constipation + Betwetting
👂🏻 Ear Drainage/Infection Prevention
🩹 Healing from Bumps/Bruises/Injuries
🤧 Immunity/Fighting off Germs
🎭 Suppression of Anger/Overstimulation
💪🏻 Hormonal Balance/Growth/Development
Any stress in the nervous system from the traumas of early life, sends a “danger” signal to the brain, causing all of these systems to take a “vacation”. Why would bumps, bruises, digestion or hormones take priority, when SURVIVAL mode is on?💡
We quickly turn survival mode OFF, freeing up the automated functions of the nervous system to function at 100%. ♥️
If your kiddo is struggling with big or little abnormalities, trust your momma intuition, give us a call, and let’s get them in for a scan!! ♥️

Headache Free & More Energy 🤕
“After struggling with headaches for years, I got to the point where I felt like it was stealing my life from me. I couldn’t deal with loud sounds, lights, or anything without a headache. Getting up early from work, and feeling like a train had hit me, was difficult. I started skipping fun events with my family and had to sleep for hours in the dark to avoid the pain.
Since starting chiropractic, I HAVE MY LIFE BACK!!!! My headaches are 100% gone, and I am finally back to being myself. My kiddos are happy to have their mom back. Chiropractic gave me MY LIFE and MY FAMILY back! I couldn’t live without it!” ♥️

REAL Mental Health ❤️
Mental health is such a big topic in today’s world, for women, men, teens and kiddos. Though there are many mental-health tips + practices in the mainstream arsenal, often overlooked is the one thing that actually CONTROLS the state of your mind, how you feel on a regular basis, your reaction to stress, and your emotions: your nervous system! 💫
Your brain IS your nervous system. So, experiencing the fullness of mental health isn’t possible if the brain is under constant stress! 😰
Yoga. Essential oils. Exercise. Taking a BREAK. Spending time outside. Eating whole, organic foods. Intentional breathing. Filling your mind with positive thoughts. Speaking positive words to raise your frequency. Having gratitude. All of these things are amazing.
But, there’s one last piece to the puzzle: is your brain benefitting from the good you’re putting in, or is it perceiving stress? If you have a misalignment (news flash: pretty much everyone has at least a few), your brain perceives stress + danger, day and night.
At Freedlund Family Chiropractic, we are experts in the nervous system, and we’re experts in bringing it back to a state of CALM. 🧘

Why do you take your children to the ?

“It may be difficult to imagine that a child would need chiropractic care. They seldom complain of chronic pain the way adults do and their bodies appear to be made of rubber in the way they bounce back from injury. The truth is, children's bodies are under a lot of stress while they are in a state of development and keeping them healthy requires maintenance.”

We live our whole lives through our nervous systems. ⚡️ Every movement, sensation, emotion, and organ function is directed by the nerves.
Sometimes what our nervous system is expressing has the word STRESS written all over it. 😬
Let’s just face it - oftentimes it is the PAIN that gets our attention. But, did you know that pain can typically be the last thing that shows up? That means that way before we FEEL anything, it’s likely that some stress has been happening within our body somewhere.
Many times that stress can look like:
✖️tummy troubles
✖️poor sleep
✖️dizziness/brain fog
✖️behavioral disruptions
✖️mood swings
…and a whole bunch of other things.
The key to keeping stress to a minimum all starts with your nervous system! Making sure that your spine is properly aligned ensures that your nervous system (which is in control of all the other systems) is communicating it’s absolute best with your body.
