Teens need chiro care too 👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Teenagers may think they are resilient to everything but let me tell you they still need chiropractic care 💥
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why your teen needs adjusted ⬇️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
〰️ counteract text neck, if you’re a parent of a teen you would probably say they’re on their phone - A LOT. Every inch of forward head posture increases the weight of the head on the spine by TEN pounds. 🫠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
〰️ help them manage pain, active teens are prone to injuries. Help them keep themselves in check by getting adjusted.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
〰️ keep their posture in check, teens sit at school practically all day. Bad posture will have lasting effects on your spine if it’s not checked.

What is a thermal scan? Keep reading to find out why you need one! 👇
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that there should be temperature balance on the right and left sides of your body?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A difference in temperatures indicates stress, a blockage to your autonomic nerves, and/or subluxations (misalignments) caused by changes in the blood supply.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is important because a misalignment of the vertebrae could interfere with nerve transmission and impact your body’s ability to function properly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A thermal scan measures the heat on each side of your spine and provides the exact locations where stress is hidden within your nervous system, providing valuable information to your chiropractor.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever had a thermal scan done? Tell us below ⬇️

Don’t sleep on this! 😴 ⤵️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We always stress the importance of quality sleep with our patients.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And the National Institutes of Health agrees! In fact, they report inadequate sleep can increase your risk for long-term health and cognitive problems.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not getting enough sleep can impact your metabolism and your heart, respiratory and immune systems.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you struggle to get enough sleep consistently, try this:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅Stick to a consistent sleep routine and schedule
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅Take note of what you eat and drink before bed and any patterns you notice related to your sleep quality
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Limit long, daytime naps
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chiropractic care can also be a helpful tool. Our patients have reported significant improvement in their sleep quality after receiving consistent treatments.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And, according to an article published in the journal Spine, 40% of the approximately 34,500 chiropractic patients surveyed reported better sleep after treatment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, be honest: do you get enough sleep? Yes or No? 👇
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you suffer from , have you tried chiropractic care? 🤯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
According to chiroeco.com, "A 2017 article, published in the European Journal of Neurology, detailed a 17-month randomized study that included 104 patients who suffered from at least one migraine attack per month.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ The study included three groups of patients: one that received standard pharmaceutical treatment for migraines, one that received chiropractic spinal manipulations, and one that received placebo manipulations. The active study period lasted for three months, with a one-month run-up beforehand, and then follow-up periods at three, six, and 12 months afterward.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The number of migraine days significantly ⬇️ for all three groups from baseline to post-treatment, while this effect continued for the chiropractic treatment group through all the follow-up time points.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Furthermore, duration of migraines were significantly more reduced in the chiropractic than in the control pharmaceutical group toward the end of the follow-up period of the study."

Pregnant mamas, this one’s for you! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pelvic pain is a common complaint among many of the pregnant patients in our practice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
According to the Mayo Clinic, hormonal changes can lead to a loosening of ligaments that can cause this frustrating pain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pregnancy can also strain the lower back and pelvis, thanks to your growing baby’s weight.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fortunately, consistent chiropractic care can help!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chiropractic adjustments have proven to be successful in treating our patients' pelvic and lower back pain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our adjustments can help restore proper alignment in the pelvis region, which will reduce pain, and create optimal space for baby to grow!
