Happy Monday! Let's start the week out the right way (going to the Chiropractor) 😁

Ladies! Our bodies are capable of so much. Have you ever considered chiropractic care to help support you and do all the amazing things you can do? 💪🏻

🤰It's no secret that pregnancy isn't easy, but it is entirely possible to stack the cards in your favor for a more comfortable pregnancy, easier birth, and smoother postnatal recovery!

🔑 The key to a comfortable pregnancy is.... FUNCTIONAL SUPPORT!

You can practice functional movements in your daily activities with 4 habits!

✨ The first is getting out of a chair!
To rise: keep your knees over your ankles, lean forward, and send your hips behind you. If this is too difficult, try using momentum until it becomes easier.
To sit: reach your upper body forward for counterbalance as you reach your hips behind you.

✨ Picking things up!
Try to not round your spine, just hinge at the hips keeping a straight back!

✨ Sitting posture!
Try relaxing into a neutral pelvis instead of tucking it! You will know what this feels like if you try it at home while reading this! This position shouldn't be forced into. We unconsciously tuck our pelvis all day long which creates a lot of tension which we don't want! Try mixing up your positions if you spend a lot of the day sitting.

✨ Consider your shoe selection!
If you're a superhero AND WEARING HEELS while GROWING A HUMAN, try to opt for a more minimal shoe during this time! With heeled shoes, the muscles along the back of our legs (that promote pelvic mobility) become shortened, which adds a lot of pressure to the abdominal muscles (which are already under pressure due to the pregnancy).

🫨 Overwhelmed? I get it! Being creative about how you use your body can be tough and takes a lot of thought. These habits will become second nature and soon you'll notice your body getting stronger and moving differently.

🤫 A little secret... these SAME habits that help make pregnancy more comfortable, an easier birth, and a smoother recovery ALSO help our core, pelvic floor, and generally our whole bodies.

I don't recommend making huge changes all at once. Try going slow, adding new things and making tweaks every few weeks.

Let’s talk babies and chiro! ✨

No matter how well labor and delivery goes, at the end of the day, birth is still a trauma! Add to that babies has spent nine months curled
up in the womb before they came into this big, beautiful world! 🌎

What does that have to do with chiropractic? 🤔

Chiropractic is a great way to check in with their little muscular, skeletal and nervous systems after birth, AND as they continue to grow!

Hi everyone! Please let me introduce myself.

I am a chiropractor and nutritionist in Lake Placid, NY.

I was born and raised in Saranac Lake, NY. I earned her Bachelors degree from SUNY Oswego then became an Advanced Emergency Medical Technician before enrolling as a student at Northeast College of Health Sciences (formerly known as New York Chiropractic College) where I earned a Doctorate in Chiropractic and a Masters in Applied Clinical Nutrition.

I did my clinical training at Northeast College of Health Sciences in Seneca Falls, NY and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (also known as the President's Hospital) in Bethesda, MD.
--------------------------
I like to take a patient-centered approach by addressing the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. This means that I spends time with my patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. I believe that this approach supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual. My approach to nutrition therapy is to emphasize the importance of high-quality foods and nutrient diversity to address clinical imbalances and move individuals toward the highest expression of health. My goal is to create personalized therapeutic interventions to promote optimal health and prevent diet- and lifestyle-related disease.
