South River Family Chiropractic

Woohoo! It’s our second year anniversary today! The love and support that I have received from family, friends and the community is immensely appreciated. Thank you for trusting me with your chiropractic needs. Year 3 loaded… ❤️

Hello SRFC friends!
I wanted to reach out to give a gentle reminder that we are entering a very busy time of year!
Personally, most of you know that I have a 2024 SRHS Senior graduating and heading off to NC State this fall. Due to the events associated with this, there will be some closings to my schedule on various days throughout these next few months. Most are listed below and I keep my calendar online as up to date as possible.
Given that, scheduling ahead is always going to be your best option! Using our website, www.sr-chiro.com to request an appointment is really convenient and easy as it shows you all of my availability.
Getting same day or sometimes even same week appointments are harder to come by during these busier times. So to avoid frustration or delays in your care, if you can schedule out please do.
As always, I will be as flexible as I can be and if you need me asap but can’t find what you need online, text me at the office number and I will do my best to accommodate! Please reach out with any questions!

Scheduled closings in current schedule:
May 23-27
June 5
June 28 through July 15- this is the biggest stretch so please plan accordingly. I will have the names of chiropractors you can contact if you have an emergency situation available during this time but there will be no one at my office. 
August 15-17

Hi SRFC family,
We are closed for a little holiday break tomorrow, 2/16, and Monday, 2/19. Remember you can always schedule online 24/7 at www.sr-chiro.com. Please reach out directly to me if you should have any questions while I’m out of office.
In the meantime enjoy this photo of a dog getting adjusted. 😊

Hello and happiest of holidays to you all!
The office will be closed 12/25 thru 1/1 for a holiday break. We will reopen on 1/2 in the New Year!
Of course being off for a week means that first week back is very busy and at this time all appointments are booked. So if you have an urgent matter during the break or the week of 1/2, please reach out to Dr. Angela at 410-353-1616 to see how she may help. You must leave a VM to get a call back. Texting is great as well!
Appointments are always able to be scheduled online at www.sr-chiro.com and availability is open up to 3 months in advance.
Have a happy, healthy remainder of 2023 and I will see you in the New Year!

Hello all! I just wanted to check in with you before the holiday break and let you know that if you are checking online at www.sr-chiro.com for an appointment, you are probably noticing that there doesn’t seem to be much available. That is true. It has gotten very busy this holiday season in preparation for the office being closed between Christmas and New Years. So if you can’t find something online and you are in need, please reach out to me directly at 410-353-1616 and we will see what we can work out. I have a new waitlist option with my software, I’m not sure if it’s available on the portal yet but I can waitlist you for a particular time that you are looking for as well. Otherwise, enjoy your holiday and schedule ahead for the appointments in January so we can get you on track.
The office will be closed on December 18 and then from December 25 through January 1. 
Go Bills! ❤️💙🦬

It’s our 1/2 birthday again!!!
18 months in and I couldn’t be more grateful for the trust the community has placed in me for their chiropractic care. I promise that I will continue to care for this community with the same compassion and dedication that I show my own family.
Help us celebrate by paying it forward to someone in our community!
During this holiday season also remember that we have gifts of health for your loved ones. Get that shopping done by getting a gift certificate usable for products or services. They will be forever grateful for your thoughtfulness!
Two weeks left to schedule to get in before we take a holiday break from 12/25 through 1/1.
Schedule 24/7 at:

Lengthening your muscles is important for good fetal positioning and labor progress. The ligaments, joints, and fascia (the dynamic web supporting our muscles, organs, and bones) function better in balance and symmetry. Body balance provides unity between your body and baby’s positioning.

Prenatal yoga, massage, and chiropractic work are helpful tools to help your muscles, joints, and ligaments prepare for birth. And they are wonderful for after birth as well!

Perinatal and postpartum psychosis impacts the entire family. Supporting your loved one through a mental health crisis is taxing and you also deserve support. Led by PSI-trained facilitators, this group helps family members find support for themselves as well as provides useful information and resources to help them navigate their loved one’s experience with PPP. Whether your family’s PPP experience was relatively recent or occurred years ago, you are welcome to attend our free, online peer-to-peer support group.

View schedule & Register: bit.ly/FindSupportGroup

Led by trained peer facilitators, this group is for parents of “high need” newborns to 12-month-old babies. All babies have needs and depend on their caregivers, yet some babies have more needs than others. “High needs baby” is not a medical term or diagnosis, but it is a term used to describe babies with some of these characteristics: constant crying (for several hours in a row), difficult to soothe, and easily overstimulated. A highly sensitive or high-needs baby might not sleep without being held, might cry for three hours every evening, or might get restless and frustrated when transitioning from one environment to another. We know that parents of “colicky” or high-needs babies can feel isolated, exhausted, and overwhelmed. You are not alone, and we are here to help. Crying babies are welcome too!

If you are looking for a group for parenting a medically fragile baby or child, please check out our group specifically for those parents.

Veterans Day is a special day in our household. Read this special tribute to Dr. Angela’s husband.

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served and peace to those in remembrance today.

The military was quite the journey for us. I have not known this man in anything other than an Army uniform until this past year. We are the lucky ones, making it to retirement with the kids never having to move or bear the cross of their dad being gone for extended periods of time. Or suffering the greatest loss. The Army gives and it takes. We’ve made amazing friends and mourned their loss as well. It takes a special person to put on this uniform and an even more select variety to stick it out for 20+ years in a less than financially lucrative, yet definitely high stress job. But it never was about that for our veteran. It was about Duty, Honor, Country. He served all of his posts with integrity and a stalwart dedication to lead soldiers and eventually military healthcare into a better tomorrow. His mentorship of others will impact the military system for decades to come. And the imprint of his legacy within our own family will be forever. Take a load off today LTC Ret. Matt Tarjick, you’ve earned it.

Hello friends and family of South River Family Chiropractic!
I wanted to let you know that as of September 11th my office space will be relocated to the FOURTH floor of the SAME building.
Surprised?! Yes, me too!
However, the new space is going to be beautiful and equivalent to what we have now and there will be no disruption in patient care whatsoever.
Soon all of my information will be updated online including a new video of how to find me, but for now when you come in for your appointments from September 11th and onward, you will just take the elevator up one floor to the fourth floor. Myself or the receptionist (for the Brick Company) will be there to assist.
I look forward to welcoming you to my new space! 😊

Hello SR Family Chiropractic friends!

The office will be closed July 17th through July 21st for a summer vacation.
As always you can schedule a future appointment 24/7 at www.sr-chiro.com.
Schedule now to reserve your spot and then get back to your summer fun! 
If you can’t find a spot that you need or encounter difficulties with your condition while I’m away, please reach out to me at the office number by text or email [email protected] and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

❤️Share with your pregnant friends and family. 
Pregnancy can be difficult in a lot of different ways but being uncomfortable doesn’t have to be a right of passage to get to birth.
I have been treating pregnant women for 15 years now and it’s one of the my favorite things to help them have a more comfortable pregnancy and birth process and then be blessed to witness and treat the beautiful family that follows.

Establishing a relationship with a pediatric chiropractor, even when birth goes well, is a good idea because the pressure of the birthing process can lead to micro misalignments of the infant's spine, jaw, palate, and skull that may otherwise go unnoticed.

None of these scenarios are completely black and white, there might be some cases where you do have more or less control. But in general, there are some things that you don't have any control over when it comes to pregnancy and labor. Some women will unnecessarily fixate on their "due date", dilation, or their baby's size. Of course it's normal to feel this way during pregnancy, but sometimes worrying about these things will just cause more anxiety, and the truth is there isn't a lot you can do about any of them.

Instead of focusing on things you can't control, try to focus on the things you can control! There are a lot of things you can do to prepare for labor and delivery! Keep doing your research to decide what kind of birth team and labor you would like. Spend time working on your relationship with yourself and your body so you will feel confident on the big day!

Tell us in the comments what you focused on during your pregnancy to prepare for birth! 👇

"In my career as a naturopath, I’ve inadvertently wound up working almost exclusively with women. Over the past few years, there are certain things that I’ve found myself desperately wanting these women to deeply know and understand.

These are the things I catch myself emphasizing and repeating, and find to be so very true, again and again. I hope that a few of the ideas on this list spark something within you if you’re on your own journey to improve your health, hormones, or life in general."
