The Webster Technique is a specialized approach in prenatal chiropractic care, aimed at ensuring the proper alignment of the pelvis and surrounding structures to support the growth and development of the baby.

During pregnancy, it’s crucial for the nervous system to function optimally, and for the pelvic area to move correctly to maintain a comfortable pregnancy. The Webster Technique plays a pivotal role in achieving this, offering benefits such as optimal pelvic balance, decreased discomforts, improved overall connection, reduced low back pain, ligament pressure release, and encouragement of the head-down position.

Whether you’re planning to conceive or already expecting, prioritizing a clear and connected nervous system sets the stage for a healthy and comfortable pregnancy journey!

Have you ever wondered how you can keep your immune system strong and healthy? We have some science backed tips for you!

Whole Foods:
🍎 Consuming mostly in-season organic foods offers significant support to the immune system due to their nutrient density and freshness. In-season produce tends to be at its peak in terms of flavor and nutritional content, providing a rich array of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants essential for immune function. Plus, organic farming practices ensure that these foods are free from harmful pesticides and chemicals, further bolstering immune health.
*Check out EWGs clean 15 and dirty 12 for more info on how to shop for conventional and organic foods!*

Sleep Routines:
😴 Consistent sleep routines support the immune system by regulating the body’s internal clock, optimizing the timing of hormone release for immune function. This regularity ultimately enhances immune readiness and resilience.

Daily Exercise:
🏃‍♀️ Exercise supports the immune system by increasing circulation of blood and lymph, facilitating the movement of immune cells throughout the body to identify and combat pathogens. Establishing a consistent exercise routine, even with small activities, enhances immune health!

Managing Stress:
Stress can take a toll on your immune system, but don’t worry – there are ways to manage it! 🧘‍♂️ Things like breathwork, meditation, and spending time in nature can help lower stress levels and support your immune health. When you’re less stressed, your body can focus its energy on fighting off infections and producing healthy cells.

Chiropractic Care:
💆‍♂️ When you get adjusted by a chiropractor, it helps improve the communication between your brain and body. This enhanced communication boosts your body’s ability to heal itself and fight off illness, keeping your immune system strong and resilient. So, next time you visit Prana, know that you’re not just taking care of your spine – you’re also giving your immune system a helping hand!

This st. Patty’s day we wanted to spread awareness of Phelan McDermid syndrome.
One of our awesome Prana littles, Cecilia, has this rare genetic disorder that is caused by a deletion of the long arm of chromosome 22q13 or by a pathogenic variant in the SHANK gene.
Having a chromosomal deletion does not stop Cecilia.
She is so much more than her diagnosis. She is a child of determination. Cecilia is one of the most vibrant fun loving kiddos that we know. She does not know a stranger and is kind to everyone she meets. She is loud, you can hear her laugh from a mile away. She absolutely loves coming in and playing with the baby dolls here.
She loves to get adjusted and always wants to get her backed checked. She is such a bright light and to know Cecilia is to love her. We truly enjoy when she comes in.

Struggling with irregular sleep patterns? You’re not alone. 😴

Our bodies thrive on consistency, but modern life often disrupts our natural sleep-wake cycle. Irregular sleep patterns can significantly impact our quality of sleep, leading to a range of negative effects on our physical and mental well-being.

When our sleep schedule is inconsistent, our bodies struggle to establish a natural rhythm, disrupting the delicate balance of our internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm.
One of the primary consequences of irregular sleep patterns is sleep deprivation, which can impair cognitive function, memory consolidation, and decision-making abilities. Additionally, inconsistent sleep can disrupt the production of hormones that regulate appetite, metabolism, and stress response, potentially leading to weight gain, mood swings, and heightened stress levels.

Over time, this cycle of poor sleep can contribute to chronic health conditions, which is why it is essential to prioritize consistent sleep habits. This includes making sure that your nervous system is adapting and regulated in a rest/digest mode (hello, chiropractic care!), maintaining a regular sleep schedule, creating a relaxing bedtime routine, and optimizing your sleep environment!

Prenatal chiropractic care is an invaluable resource for expectant mothers, offering a holistic approach to supporting both maternal and fetal health throughout pregnancy.

As the body undergoes significant changes to accommodate the growing baby, it can experience discomfort, pain, and alignment issues.

Prenatal chiropractic care focuses on addressing these issues through gentle, non-invasive adjustments that help optimize pelvic alignment, alleviate pregnancy-related discomfort, and promote overall wellness.

By ensuring proper spinal and pelvic alignment, prenatal chiropractic care creates an optimal environment for fetal development and positioning, potentially reducing the risk of complications during labor and delivery. Additionally, chiropractic care enhances nervous system function, improve immune function, and reduce stress levels, providing moms to be with the support they need to enjoy a more comfortable and enjoyable pregnancy journey.

With its emphasis on natural, drug-free care, prenatal chiropractic offers pregnant moms a safe and effective way to prioritize their health and well-being for themselves and their growing baby.

Did you know that our entire nervous system controls every single cell in our body?

When the body is under stress, our nervous system shifts into fight or flight mode, activating the sympathetic nervous system. In this state, the body cannot self-heal or self-regulate effectively, leading to decreased adaptability and heightened perception of everyday stressors.

But here’s the good news: We can down-regulate the nervous system to restore a state of ease and balance. Check out Prana’s top three ways to achieve nervous system harmony!

When it comes to fertility, we typically look to the woman’s health. From what is her current lifestyle look like, how is her overall health, is her body expressing any symptoms such as irregular cycles or stress?

But that is only half of what is actually needed to be assessed when it comes to the pre-conception process.

Men’s health is equally important when it comes to fertility, as it takes two to make a baby! ;)

If you are currently preparing for conception, we encourage that BOTH of you should work towards optimal health and well being. While the woman houses the baby, the process of reproductive biology relies on BOTH mom and dad to complete the process.

Swipe to find out how you or your partner can optimize your health when it comes to fertility and remember that this is a TEAM effort physically and emotionally!

Did you know that chronic stress can wreak havoc on your hormone balance? From disrupting cortisol levels to throwing off reproductive hormones, stress can send your body into a hormonal rollercoaster such as:

1. Cortisol Imbalance: Chronic stress can lead to dysregulation of cortisol, the primary stress hormone. Elevated cortisol levels can disrupt hormone balance, leading to issues such as weight gain, insulin resistance, and increased inflammation.

2. Thyroid Dysfunction: Stress impacts the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which can disrupt thyroid hormone production and metabolism. This can result in symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, and impaired cognitive function.

3. Reproductive Hormone Disruption: Stress can interfere with the production of reproductive hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. This disruption can contribute to irregular menstrual cycles, fertility issues, and reproductive disorders.

4. Insulin Resistance: Chronic stress can lead to insulin resistance, where cells become less responsive to insulin, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels. This can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

5. Growth Hormone Suppression: Stress inhibits the release of growth hormone, which plays a crucial role in tissue repair, muscle growth, and metabolism. Reduced growth hormone levels can impair recovery from injury, slow wound healing, and contribute to muscle wasting.

Our favorite ways to de-stress to improve hormone balance?
Chiropractic care has been shown to decrease stress levels in the body by reducing tension in the muscles and promoting relaxation. When the interference is removed from the spine, it allows the nervous system to function more efficiently, which can help regulate hormone production and balance.

From their first steps to their brightest future, chiropractic care lays the groundwork for lifelong health and vitality.

By nurturing their growing bodies and optimizing nervous system function, pediatric chiropractic sets the stage for a lifetime of well-being.

These common symptoms can often indicate a LACK of coordination in the gut-brain connection.

When emotional, physical, or chemical stressors disrupt the nervous system, interference can occur, leading to these uncomfortable symptoms. It's a sign that your body may not be adapting to stressors as effectively as it should.

But here's the good news: Chiropractic care can help restore communication between your gut and brain. By addressing nervous system interference, chiropractic adjustments support better communication between these vital systems!

Have you ever woken up with a sore jaw or noticed yourself grinding your teeth, especially during times of stress? Teeth grinding, or bruxism, can be a physical response to both emotional and physical stressors. Here's a glimpse into the science behind it and how chiropractic care can help:

🔍 The Stress Connection: When we're stressed, our bodies can go into a state of heightened alertness, often referred to as the 'fight or flight' response. This stress response can lead to muscle tension throughout the body, including the jaw and neck muscles.

🦷 The "WHY" behind Teeth Grinding: Excess muscle tension can manifest as teeth grinding, which often occurs involuntarily during sleep. The constant clenching and grinding can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and even dental issues.

🔄 How Chiropractic care can help: Chiropractic adjustments aim to reduce tension in the muscles and rebalance the body, which can positively impact the nervous system. By promoting relaxation and balance, chiropractic care can help alleviate the physical and emotional stressors contributing to teeth grinding.

Our approach at Prana focuses on whole body wellness, addressing the root causes of stress-related issues. If you or a loved one struggle with teeth grinding, we invite you to make an appointment to see how Prana Chiropractic can help you become a more relaxed, stress-resilient "you." 😌🌿

Speech and language development are complex processes that rely on the coordination of various brain regions and the nervous system. The brain sends signals to control the muscles involved in speech, including those for articulation, breathing, and vocalization. Any disruption in the nervous system’s ability to transmit these signals can lead to speech delays.

While chiropractic care is not a direct treatment for speech delays, it may play a role in improving speech development, especially when delays are linked to nervous system dysfunction.
At Prana Chiropractic, our neurologically focused chiropractors focus removing interference between the brain and body called a subluxation. These subluxations can interfere with the proper functioning of the nervous system by impeding the flow of nerve signals. When subluxations affect the nerves responsible for speech-related muscle control, it can contribute to speech delays.

Chiropractic adjustments aim to correct subluxations, thus restoring proper nervous system function. This allows for enhanced speech development and overall vitality!

Dysautonomia is a condition characterized by dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary bodily functions like heart rate, digestion, and blood pressure. It can occur in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). While chiropractic care is not a cure or treatment for dysautonomia or autism, it can help benefit individuals with ASD and dysautonomia.

Our goal as a neurologically focused Pediatric Chiropractor is to focus on restoring balance to the autonomic nervous system by improving neuro motor tone, movement, and coordination.

At Prana Chiropractic, we will assess the function of the nervous system and check for any subluxations and dysautonomia. Our goal is to remove the interference or subluxation between the brain-body to ensure that your child's health and development are as optimal as possible!
