Harmonize Chiropractic

When I work with babies, the adjust is given using a very gentle approach.

Many of the compensation patterns we have as adults that cause pain and disfunction later in life start when we are infants.

Getting adjusted from an early age helps with development by stimulating the nervous system to help create balance and release tension. Babies certainly experience stress. If they have a hard time regulating their nervous systems back to a state of ease, they can become tight and restricted. This can present as muscle tension, colic, bed wetting, latch issues and a number of other things.

We love supporting families as they navigate life’s many ups and downs.

Reach out if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment.

Chiropractic is a philosophy, science, and art.

Within our philosophy, We believe that the body has an innate intelligence that is constantly working to heal and adapt. This is an inborn wisdom encoded into every cell of our being. The proof can be seen in the way a cut heals, in the way a baby develops in the mother’s womb, in the way our heart beats. This same intelligence can be witnessed in nature all around us. We forget sometimes that nature is one of the greatest healers and we are nature.

In our office, you can find elements of nature all around☀️🪴✨. This environment is curated to help you settle, take deeper breaths, to slow your nervous system, and be in the moment. In this space the potential for healing is heightened and the body can recalibrate and rebalance. 💫

What does well-adjusted mean?

For the human body to flourish, we must be flexible enough to adapt and adjust when faced with stressors.

It’s essential to stay dynamic with life’s ups and downs. To embrace the situation and mindfully respond instead of unconsciously reacting.

Life is full of physical, chemical, mental, and emotional stressors and our ability to adapt to them will determine our health outcomes.

Getting adjusted by a chiropractor helps the nervous system become more resilient. It increases your body’s tolerance in stressful situations and helps you find balance.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas! We love serving you and your little ones ❤️

The time from conception through the first 3 years are the most critical for setting a healthy foundation for the rest of life 🌀

It’s amazing just how much brain development is happening. The brain doubles it’s size during the first year. 2️⃣❎

Synapses are formed at a rapid rate and by the age of 2 or 3 the brain has up to twice as many synapses as the adult brain. 🧠

This means babies are taking in an incredible amount of information from their environment.✨These environmental inputs stimulate neural activity and program our adaptive responses.

Just like adults, babies and toddlers experience stress from their experiences and the environment. This can lead to body tension, maladaptive movement patterns, and symptoms such as colic, constipation, sleep issues, and oral restrictions.

Chiropractic is a gentle bodywork that helps release tension on the developing brain and spinal cord. This allows all information coming in to be integrated with more ease, allowing your baby to thrive.

Our practice members have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Austin for the past 10 months. We wish him farewell as he moves to Williamsburg, VA to open his own practice 💫

April 11th will be his last shift. Make sure to hop on his schedule!

I’m so grateful for the divine timing that allowed you to step into the practice while I was on maternity leave! 🙏🏻 I could truly relax knowing everyone was in excellent hands 🙌🏼 Thank you 😊 I know I’m not the only one who is going to miss your adjustments ⚡️

Williamsburg is going to be lucky to have you!

With love,
Dr. Lauren

How can a chiropractic adjustment affect baby positioning and birth outcome? By improving the mother's pelvic balance. When the mother's pelvis is out of alignment, the ligaments that connect the pelvis to the uterus increase their tension (tone), resulting in a distortion to the
baby's environment.

For the baby, the surrounding walls of the uterus tighten with pelvic imbalance, becoming more and more like tight bedsheets that restrict
movement. The chiropractic adjustment to the pelvis releases tension to the ligaments and uterus, allowing the baby to move freely and
assume the best possible position throughout pregnancy.

Many women are seeking ICPA chiropractors and the Webster Technique throughout their pregnancy. For every stage of pregnancy, this
adjustment reduces interference to the nervous system - a vital benefit to improving physiology for both the mother and her baby. When a mother's physiological function is at its best, her
baby's development is optimized. Balancing the pelvic bones, muscles, and ligaments and improving normal physiology sets the stage for a natural birth.

In the past six months I’ve been spending most of my time in my new role as a mom. I’m excited to announce that starting next week I’ll be back in the office five days a week. Check out our scheduling app by clicking the link in our bio for specifics!

Dr Austin is very excited to be joining Harmonize Chiropractic!

He is a graduate of Life Chiropractic College West and also has specialty in extremity adjusting. Being a very active individual he has played both collegiate soccer and rugby as well as coaching CrossFit and Olympic weightlifting.

Dr Austin believes the human body is an intelligent self healing organism continuously adapting to meet the needs of its surroundings and the stresses required from it. The nervous system is our primary focus in restoring optimal function through movement, nutrition, mental state, and recuperation as primary pillars of health. Chiropractic is so effective and efficient at restoring the body because it positively impacts every other system aiding in recovery after trauma and maximizing the way we perform.

Thank you so much to one of my practice members, Jeff, who made me this incredible adjustable custom wood front desk.

It’s made out of a maple tree that had fallen down on his property. He crushed up turquoise and added a symbol for healing hands.✋🏼🌀

I’m thrilled to have this beautiful piece in my office. 🙏🏻

A pregnant woman’s body undergoes incredible change and transformation in order to bring new life into the world. 🐛✨💫🦋

I LOVE working with mommas!Chiropractic care during pregnancy can work WONDERS in supporting this magical process as it unfolds. 🦋✨

~Pelvic & Low Back Adjustments~

Chiropractic adjustments to this area of the body can do more than relieve back pain, sciatica, or discomfort.

I’ve heard patients report: 📝
✅ no more pain with s*x
✅ no more constipation
✅ their endometriosis symptoms are gone
✅ more control over their pelvic floor muscles
✅ happiness for their labor and birth being much soother
✅ more bladder control
✅ less irritable bowel symptoms

The body is interconneced. When tight and contracted regions open up, relax, and proper movement and balance is reintegrated, the natural healing process can progress. When this happens pleasant and unexpected outcomes can occur.✨

I’m never surprised. I know the body can do magical things under the right circumstances 🙌🏼✨

Chiropractic supports a flexible and dynamic nervous system. 🧠One that can better adapt to stress and return back to a state of ease after something stressful happens.

It’s true that the external environment influences our internal environment. However, by changing our internal state of being we have more power to overcome the effects of a stressful or toxic environment.

Our mind and body are 𝙣𝙤𝙩 separate. 🧠🧘
They are 𝙤𝙣𝙚.
We are energy beings.
The energy of our thoughts is reflected in our body.

✨You can notice this connection in the way that you 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 when you think certain thoughts. ✨

Remember -
You are beautiful.
You are powerful.
You are enough.

Our spine is like an instrument and our nerves are the strings. 🎸

When our spine is tight and rigid so are our nerves. This tension changes our expression. 🎭 We may feel tired, impatient, reactive, defensive, or stuck.

Adjustments work like an attunement of a musical instrument and you are the song.🎼

The tone of the nerves are changed when we release stored tension in the body and restore optimal movement in the spine.

This raises our range of expression.

We feel better, move better, have more energy, are more curious and compassionate and our body functions better.

So why adjust the spine? So you can feel more like YOU without any pain, discomfort, or symptoms.

Should pain is a common issue I work with. Most people feel it on the top and front of their shoulder, often time tensioning to their neck. 🙇🏻‍♀️

After examining the area, I usually find that an imbalance has developed. The chest muscles have become too tight and they are pulling the shoulders forward, pulling the neck forward, and this drops the chest. This posture appears hunched and rounded.

This is where my job comes in. I help “retrain” these tight and tensioning muscles. I help regain the mobility the was lost over time. This allows things to rebalance. Mobility becomes restored and pain alleviates over time.

A sturdy house requires a balanced foundation 🏡....

A sturdy 𝘉𝘰𝘥𝘺 requires a balanced pelvis. 🧘🏽

I help people increase mobility so they can feel center. From a stable, grounded, centered position, you can unlock power in your movements... whatever they may be 💪🏼 🏋🏼‍♀️🏌🏻‍♂️🤸🏽‍♂️⛹🏻‍♀️

It makes me so happy to witness this Harmonize Chiropractic Member achieve something as simple as better posture.... especially when he didn’t think it was possible. ✨🦋

I LOVE taking care of moms during their pregnancy.

It’s such a great reminder of how amazing and adaptable the human body is.

Check out this yelp review from a previous chiropractic member. This review really warms my heart ♥️

Knowing 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 we feel is the first step to knowing 𝒘𝒉𝒚 we feel that way.

The body speaks to us through physical sensations and emotions.

Signals of pain, discomfort, & tension shouldn’t be ignored.

After all, we only get one body in this life. What’s more important than taking care of it?

Chiropractic helps the body release tension. Ease in the body will create ease in the mind. This mind-body connection is why many people report feeling 𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙙 while under chiropractic care.

If the world feels overwhelming right now you aren’t alone. Harmonize Chiropractic is up and running. We are taking all the precautions necessary including sanitation, PPE, and temperature reading.
