Foundations Spine & Well-necessities

"How on earth can a Chiropractor help with night sweats!?" 🤨

We thought that's what you'd be asking, so here's how!

The nervous system is the MASTER control system of the body 🧠

It controls every cell, tissue, and organ. There's 2⃣ parts of your nervous system... Parasympathetic and Sympathetic... and they both have mechanisms to control sweating.

But with menopause, we know there are some BIG changes happening to the body. Specifically, hormonal changes which make it harder for the nervous system to regulate body temperature 🥵

What if there were a way to ASSIST your nervous and allow it to function to it's optimal ability?

That's where Neurologically-based Chiropractic comes in! 🤯 Specific adjustments to the spine to remove any interference to the nervous system can help your brain regulate it's body temperature, resulting in NO MORE WAKING UP SOAKED!

If you know a woman who's struggling with this and they're tired of showering 24/7, please show them this post or have them reach out and we'd love to help any way we can 😊

Out with the old, in with the new! lol JK 🤣, We will miss you guys! 😭 We wish you the best of luck with your babies!

If you usually have adjustments on Thursdays, the girls should have moved your appointment to the end of your plan. If you'd like to reschedule to a different day of the week instead, we can definitely do that for you!

We hope everyone has a great week ahead and a fun & safe 4th!!🎇🎆🎉

Did you know that babies can be susceptible to subluxations from birth?

Babies are exposed to stress straight out of the womb due to birth trauma, birth interventions, c-sections, fast or slow delivery, or even just stress from the new environment. This could lead to more of the "common" symptoms we see that most doctors say they'll "grow out of" like acid reflux, colic, ear infections, constipation, and more.

If you're pregnant, we highly recommend getting chiropractic care! Not only does it help with the pain, but it also helps put your body in the prime position for baby and it also helps with an easier labor and delivery. The less stress you and baby go through during that time, the better!

We see newborns as early as a day old! These adjustments are SO different than an adjustment for an adult as it doesn't involve "cracking" of the bones or full body pressure, but rather putting pressure on certain pressure points, kind of similar to the pressure of feeling for a ripe avocado or tomato. This helps keep the newborn's nervous system in line & prevents & improves conditions like the ones mentioned above.

Let's get your kiddo in!!

We love helping people get back into doing what they love!

Gina came in 3 weeks ago with a goal in mind to get better at Yoga Sculpting, especially without pain.

Now, with consistent chiropractic care here in our office, she finally feels like she got her strength back & has stopped taking pain pills for the pain, which is absolutely amazing!!

We are so glad you are able to get back into yoga sculping, Gina! We look forward to seeing what other goals you can reach with us!!!

Booked your first appointment with us? Great!! We are so excited to meet you!

Follow the post to get ready for your visit & what you should expect when you come in!

What our typical first appointments look like:

Meet the team: You will come in greeted with a smile & enthusiasm by our Chiropractic assistants Carly & Sam! They will take great care of you before you get seen.

Consultation: You will meet Dr. Vartan who will listen to your concerns & go over your medical history. He'll educate you on how our office may be able to help you!

Physical Exam: He will be physically feeling your problem areas to get a better understanding on where you feel pain, or stress. He will also be educating you on how that area of the spine may be contributing to other problems within your body as well!

X-rays & Thermal Scans: After the physical exam, he will then hand you over to Carly or Sam to take some x-rays, or a thermal scan of your spine to physically see how many subluxations you may have, or how stressed your spine really is.

Scheduling a follow up visit: After the x-rays, the girls will schedule your next visit where Dr. Vartan will go over his findings with you, the cost of your care, and what he recommends for you to fix this issue once and for all!

Adjustment: After you go through your follow up visit with Dr. Vartan, he will then lead you to your first corrective adjustment!

The first visit typically takes between 45 minutes to an hour give or take. The follow up should take about 30-45 minutes.

We look forward to meeting you!!

This is what we want to see!!

We absolutely love it when patients get the results they deserve.

Adjustments are not the only thing that gets you results. Great spinal habits, stretches, exercises, and consistency are key to getting you back to your prime.

So to remember:

1. Maintain your results by practicing good spinal habits like leveling up your devices to eye level and not slouching into your favorite couch

2. Stretch - stretch your back/neck everyday

3. Stay consistent with your adjustments - stay with the recommendations the doc gave you.

4. DO THE DENNEROLL! We know it's a love/hate relationship, but trust us, you will thank us for it later! 😉

5. Practice good form when exercising

Let's see more results like this one!!!
