Evergreen Chiropractic

Sometimes we need to hold the bears hands while we get adjusted 💁🏻‍♀️

Love our Evergreen littles and how they come in telling us what they need adjusted whether it's sinuses, tummy, or they want to run faster! They know chiropractic helps their brain and are proud of it 🧠

With the new school year approaching, it's essential to understand the science behind focus and attention issues which can be coined as "busy brain=busy body. These issues arise from an imbalance between the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous systems. 🧠

When the sympathetic nervous system is overactive, it can lead to constant alertness and stress, contributing to difficulty focusing. Chiropractic care helps calm this overactivity, reducing stress and promoting relaxation. A well-functioning parasympathetic nervous system aids in mental clarity and focus by balancing the nervous system.

Quality sleep is crucial for cognitive function and reducing "busy brain." Chiropractic care can improve sleep by reducing nervous system stress, helping students wake up refreshed and ready to learn. Weekly chiropractic care not only balances the nervous system but also boosts overall health, enhancing the ability to focus and succeed in school.

Help your child achieve better focus and attention this school year with the support of chiropractic care. Schedule an appointment today at Evergreen Chiropractic!

A dysregulated nervous system vs a regulated nervous system can significantly impact overall health and well-being, and chiropractic care plays a crucial role in maintaining this balance.

A dysregulated nervous system is often characterized by an imbalance between the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) branches. This imbalance can lead to several health issues, such as:

Chronic Stress: An overactive sympathetic nervous system can keep the body in a constant state of stress, leading to anxiety, irritability, and difficulty relaxing.

Digestive Problems: Poor nervous system regulation can impair digestive function, causing issues like bloating, constipation, and indigestion.

Sleep Disturbances: Dysregulation can interfere with sleep patterns, leading to insomnia or poor-quality sleep.

Weakened Immune Function: A stressed nervous system can weaken the immune response, making the body more susceptible to illnesses.

Chronic Pain: Misalignments in the spine (subluxations) can cause nerve interference, leading to chronic pain and discomfort.

In contrast, a regulated nervous system is balanced, allowing the body to function optimally. Key benefits include:

Improved Stress Management: A balanced nervous system efficiently transitions between sympathetic and parasympathetic states, promoting relaxation and reducing chronic stress.

Optimal Digestive Health: Proper nervous system regulation supports effective digestion, reducing issues like bloating and constipation.

Better Sleep Quality: A well-regulated nervous system enhances sleep quality, helping you fall asleep more easily and enjoy deeper, restorative sleep.

Enhanced Immune Function: A balanced nervous system strengthens the immune response, helping the body fend off illnesses more effectively.

Pain Relief and Prevention: Chiropractic care can correct spinal misalignments, reducing nerve interference and alleviating chronic pain.

First adjustments are our favorite here at Evergreen. This little one came in to get his first adjustment at just 3 days old 🥰

Let's chat about why you would choose to bring a baby in 👇

➕️ balance nervous system from birth
➕️ decrease tension from being in utero
➕️ support digestion
➕️ easier latch
➕️ decrease reflux
➕️ support developmental milestones
➕️ and many more!

If you haven't ever considered chiropractic care for your baby, we highly recommend it because it is easier to raise healthy kids than it is to heal a sick adult!

Did you know chiropractic care can naturally alleviate and prevent ear infections?

Ear infections often occur due to fluid buildup in the middle ear, leading to pain and discomfort. Interferences in the upper neck can affect the nerves controlling the Eustachian tubes, hindering proper drainage.

Chiropractic adjustments remove that interference in the spine, improving nervous system function and promoting better drainage, reducing the risk of ear infections.

Regular chiropractic care helps alleviate existing infections and prevents future ones, ensuring your family's health naturally. 🌿✨

Chiropractic care can significantly improve outcomes for women seeking a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) by addressing both emotional and physical aspects of pregnancy. The focus on adaptability, balance, and nervous system health, particularly through techniques like the Webster Technique, plays a crucial role in supporting a healthy and successful VBAC.

Knowing that their body is well-prepared for labor can boost a woman's confidence in her ability to achieve a successful VBAC. Regular chiropractic care provides reassurance that physical and emotional health is being actively supported, which can be empowering for expectant mothers.

There is no better time than RIGHT NOW to prepare your body for your birth desires. We are here to support YOU and your family!

Did you know that kids get chiropractic care too?!

And it's not because of their "back pain"....

Regular chiropractic care is essential for supporting the growth and development of children. Research indicates that the body can return to a stressed state within 5-7 days, making it crucial to receive chiropractic adjustments at least once a week. These adjustments help maintain a properly balanced brain-body connection, ensuring optimal nervous system function, which is vital for overall health.

Chiropractic care can significantly boost your child's immunity, improve digestion, and support developmental milestones, such as crawling and walking. It also enhances coordination and balance, which are essential for motor skill development.

Moreover, chiropractic care positively impacts speech development by ensuring clear communication between the brain and the muscles responsible for speech. It can also alleviate growing pains by reducing tension and ensuring proper alignment as children go through rapid growth phases.

By incorporating regular chiropractic care into your child's routine, you are investing in their long-term health and well-being, ensuring they grow up strong, healthy, and balanced!

Is your nervous system functioning at its best? Discover why a calm and adaptive nervous system is key to your overall wellness! 🌿✨

A calm nervous system helps regulate stress, supports emotional stability, and promotes restful sleep, allowing your body to function optimally. When your nervous system is adaptive, it can efficiently handle life's challenges, enhancing focus, boosting your immune system, and improving digestion.

Chiropractic care plays a crucial role in maintaining this balance by ensuring proper spinal alignment. Regular adjustments reduce nerve interference, promote relaxation, and optimize nervous system function, supporting better overall health.

Did you know that chiropractic care can enhance motherhood, both emotionally and physically?

 Motherhood often comes with significant emotional stressors, such as sleep deprivation, hormonal fluctuations, and the demands of caregiving. Chiropractic care can help reduce stress by promoting relaxation, releasing tension in the body, and restoring balance to the nervous system. This can lead to improved mood, enhanced emotional resilience, and a greater sense of well-being.

Pregnancy and childbirth can take a toll on a mother's body, leading to musculoskeletal issues such as back pain, pelvic instability, and postural imbalances. Chiropractic care offers gentle and non-invasive techniques to address these issues, promoting faster healing and recovery. By balancing the spine and pelvis, chiropractic adjustments can relieve discomfort, improve mobility, and restore optimal function to the musculoskeletal system.

Hormonal fluctuations are common during pregnancy and the postpartum period, often leading to mood swings, irritability, and other emotional symptoms. Chiropractic care can support hormonal balance by reducing stress on the nervous system, which plays a key role in regulating hormone production and signaling. This allows for overall emotional stability!

Chiropractic care provides mothers with dedicated time for self-care and relaxation, which is essential for maintaining emotional well-being and nurturing the mother-child bond. By prioritizing their own health and wellness, mothers can better meet the needs of their children and strengthen their connection with them. Additionally, chiropractic adjustments can help improve overall energy levels and vitality, allowing mothers to fully engage in the joys of motherhood.

Stress is the foundation of Dis-ease and it can manifest in the body is MANY different ways leading to a variety of physical and emotional symptoms.

When overloaded with stress, our bodies  trigger the "fight or flight" mechanism, a survival response that heightens heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration to tackle immediate dangers. However, when stress is constantly present, it leads to an overactive fight or flight response, manifesting many physical responses in the body.

Stress in the body can look like:
- problems with sleeping
- increased anxiety
- migraines and headaches
- trouble with digestion
- weak immune system
- irregular menstrual cycles

Chiropractic care helps our body achieve the rest and digest state within our nervous system, promoting rest and relaxation. This response allows our body to focus on restorative processes such as digestion, immune function, energy and growth and development.

If you are experiencing symptoms of stress, such as physical tension, headaches, digestive issues, anxiety, depression, reoccurring illnesses, disrupted sleep, or feel depleted through the day, it is important to take steps to manage your stress levels now! Chiropractic care can improve your central nervous system function which can improve overall adaptability to stress, achieving optimal well-being.

Chiropractic care can play a crucial role in enhancing recovery and performance by optimizing nervous system function, improving mobility, and reducing pain and inflammation.

Nervous System Optimization: Chiropractic adjustments help remove interference in the nervous system, allowing for better communication between the brain and the body. This can result in improved coordination, faster reaction times, and enhanced overall function, all of which are essential for athletic performance.

Enhanced Mobility: Chiropractic adjustments can address joint restrictions and muscle imbalances, improving range of motion and flexibility. This increased mobility allows athletes to move more efficiently and effectively, reducing the risk of injury and enhancing performance.

Pain Reduction: Chiropractic care can alleviate pain and discomfort by addressing the root cause of musculoskeletal issues. By reducing pain and inflammation, athletes can train more effectively and recover more quickly between workouts or competitions.

Injury Prevention: Regular chiropractic care helps identify and address imbalances or dysfunctions before they lead to injuries. By maintaining proper alignment and function, athletes can reduce the risk of overuse injuries and perform at their best for longer periods.

Faster Recovery: Chiropractic adjustments promote optimal healing by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and enhancing the body's natural recovery processes. This can lead to shorter recovery times after intense training sessions or injuries, allowing athletes to return to their sport more quickly and safely.

Overall, chiropractic care can provide athletes with a competitive edge by optimizing nervous system function, improving mobility, reducing pain, preventing injuries, and promoting faster recovery. Whether you're a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, incorporating chiropractic into your wellness routine can help you reach your performance goals and excel in your sport.

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! 

If you didn't already know, Dr. Haley is also certified in stuffed animal adjustments. Our Evergreen kiddos know how important it is to get their nervous system checked so they make sure to bring their stuffed animals in to get their adjustments too. Most often the animals are not pooping 💩, had a rough night of sleep 😴, or have allergies 🤧

Sometimes Dr. Haley has to have Tricia adjust the stuffed animals because there are SO many that come in to get their nervous systems checked at once 😂

Happy Wednesday friends 🤗

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 Evergreen Chiropractic's top three ways to achieve nervous system harmony!
