Very often we get stuck in the stresses of hectic work or school schedules, we do not take the time for self-care. We are running on empty and have very little to give to others, much less ourselves.

The best gift you can give to others is to give the best of you. Getting adjusted will give you more energy, less pain and help you move better. Not only will this help you, it will help you give more to the people and activities that matter most to you.

We are here to help you take care of you!

A big shout out to Katherine on her birthday! 🎂

Thanks for the behind the scenes work you do for us! 💕

We are thankful you are a part of our team!

So many times we have patients who are new to us (or even returning after much time has passed) come in and express they are defeated. Thinking that the pain, discomfort, and/or problems they are having are hopeless. It can feel sometimes that there is not much that can get better after living in pain for so long...

But the thing is, there is hope. There are many solutions that can be found for your specific needs. With a treatment plan, exercises, and consistency so much can shift and we see it all the time. So if you are feeling like there is nothing that can change, come in and we can have a consultation with you to help you see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Long hours at the office don't have to take a toll on your posture. It's easy to get comfortable sitting in ways that aren't great for our bodies, so here are a few things to keep in mind. Remember, the more you do them, the easier and more beneficial they all become!

🚶‍♂️ Stand and Stretch:
Break up long periods of sitting by incorporating standing breaks. Set a timer to remind yourself to stand, stretch, and walk around for a few minutes. This helps relieve tension in your muscles and promotes better circulation. Small breaks can make a big difference!

💺 Ergonomic Workspace Setup:
Invest time in creating an ergonomic workspace. Ensure your chair supports the natural curve of your spine, and your computer screen is at eye level. Position your keyboard and mouse to avoid reaching or slouching. A well-organized workspace reduces strain on your neck and back, fostering better posture.

🧘‍♀️ Desk Exercises and Posture Checks:
Incorporate simple desk exercises into your routine. Shoulder rolls, neck stretches, and seated twists can help maintain flexibility and reduce stiffness. Additionally, conduct posture checks throughout the day. Are your shoulders relaxed? Is your spine straight? Regular awareness keeps your posture in check.

Remember, a healthy posture contributes not only to physical well-being but also to increased focus and productivity. What is something you do to help stay feeling good during a long day working?

Coming into the office is an act of self care. So many times it might feel like it's coming from necessity to get adjustments and treatment, especially if you are in pain or having troubles. But deep down, giving your body what it needs is absolutely self love and needed! So if it's been a while or you are putting off coming into the office, know that we are here to help you get back on track to feeling better and giving yourself a little bit of compassion too. 💙

Many times we have patients come in that feel defeated with the pain or problems they have going on in their body. We always want the best for them and know that there is a light at the end of their tunnel. With consistency and a little bit of hope, they can overcome the pain and obstacles that they are facing.

Never forget how powerful and strong you are! 💙

❄️ As the temperatures stay consistently cooler, it's crucial to prioritize your spine health and overall well-being. Here are some tips on staying flexible and pain-free throughout the winter months:

1️⃣ Keep Moving: Cold weather can make us want to hibernate, but staying active is key! Incorporate gentle exercises into your routine, like yoga or stretching, to keep your muscles and joints flexible.

2️⃣ Stay Hydrated: Hydration is just as important in winter as it is in summer. It helps maintain the elasticity of your joints and keeps your spine happy. Warm herbal teas are a great way to stay cozy and hydrated.

3️⃣ Bundle Up Properly: When heading outdoors, layer up to keep your muscles warm and avoid stiffness. Pay extra attention to your neck, back, and shoulders by wearing a scarf or shawl.

4️⃣ Mind Your Posture: Whether sitting by the fireplace or shoveling snow, be mindful of your posture. Avoid slouching, and take breaks to stretch if you're engaged in any winter chores.

5️⃣ Stretch Daily: Incorporate a daily stretching routine into your mornings or evenings. Focus on your spine, neck, and lower back to maintain flexibility and prevent any winter stiffness.

6️⃣ Regular Chiropractic Checkups: Winter is a fantastic time for a chiropractic tune-up! Regular adjustments help ensure your spine is aligned, reducing the risk of winter-related aches and pains.

7️⃣ Listen to Your Body: If you feel any discomfort or pain, don't ignore it. Pay attention to what your body is telling you and seek professional advice if needed.
