The Homestead Family Chiropractic

Happy Birthday Dr. Anna!!! 💙

Between patients, we love to spend time outside at the park across the street from our office! 🌲

Remember, the chiropractic adjustment is helping to retrain your nervous system to better communicate & regulate. 🧷

Spending time in nature is great for activating the parasympathetic nervous system… the “brake pedal.”

Nowadays, most people spend the majority of their day hitting the “gas pedal”… aka the sympathetic nervous system. 🏎️

We aren’t meant to hit the gas pedal all the time… just like a car, you will burn out. 🏁

Stop checking your emails for 5 minutes. 🛑

Get outside & let your nervous system unwind.

You will actually be more productive throughout the day if you give yourself short breaks.

Finding time to help your nervous system regulate will help the chiropractic adjustment work even better & keep you doing the things you love for years to come.

We had a great time at the Eastchester Town Hall Winter Festival! 🎄

It was so fun to see so many kids running around outside excited for the holidays!

Our balloon animals were a huge hit! We ran out after 2 hours straight of making balloon doggies! 🎈🐕 We promise we’ll bring even more balloons to the next event!

And the kids loved our chiropractic stickers too!

If you or a family member want to give your nervous system some love & support this holiday season, reach out to us & see how we can help!

Luke loves getting adjusted at our new office!

We’re so excited to be open in Scarsdale & serving our hometown community in Westchester, NY!

We use gentle, safe, and effective adjusting techniques & have special training for pregnancy & pediatrics. We love serving the entire family— from newborns to grandparents!

Most people think that chiropractors are back doctors or bone doctors.

While we do care about the bones in your spine, we like to consider ourselves nervous system doctors.

Your nervous system controls every muscle & organ in your body.

Your brain sends signals through the spinal nerves to coordinate everything that happens in your body.

Your brain controls your muscles, breathing, heart rate, & much more. You want those electrical wirings to be functioning properly.

If your brain can communicate with every part of your body, you are doing well.

If the communication has a blockage, we want to release that.

Your spine protects your spinal cord & nerves. That’s why we care about it so much.

Just to be clear, chiropractic care does not treat your symptoms or disease. But we see a lot of these symptoms go away when the nervous system is functioning optimally!

Let’s play a game.

You tell me your issue and I’ll tell you what area of your spine it could be related to!

The newest addition to The Homestead Family- our son Luke!

Mama & baby are both happy & healthy!

***Important office updates:

*Our Darien location will only be open on Saturdays for the time being.

*Westchester location coming soon!

We will have an office space in Eastchester, NY starting in August or September.

Many of our patients come from Westchester so hopefully this will make it easier to come in & receive great chiropractic care!

And it will make it easier for us to bring Luke to the office with us!

We can’t wait for you to meet Luke, get your nervous system functioning optimally, & become part of our family!

Did you know that every organ & muscle in your body is controlled by your nervous system? 🧠

Heart beat, breathing, muscle contraction, digestion, hand-eye coordination… all under the control of your nervous system!

This is why we want your brain & nervous system to be functioning OPTIMALLY.

Chiropractors ensure that your brain & body are communicating effectively.

We don’t “treat” diseases. But we’ve seen many common “conditions” improve with chiropractic care!

Proper communication within your body is key to healing from anything!

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.

Your cells are literally made out of the building blocks you obtain from food.

Build your cells out of high-quality food!

The amount of energy you have, your hormones, & your mood are also highly related to what you eat!

Food quality (organic, grass-fed, pasture-raised, regeneratively grown, etc) and nutrient-density are key.

Your body needs the saturated fat & fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) found in animal fats (like butter, egg yolks, raw milk, tallow, & steak fat) to function optimally.

Your body is ~60% water. Your brain is around 80-85% water. 99% of the molecules in your body are water.

If you think that the water you drink doesn’t impact your health, you’re crazy!

STOP DRINKING TAP WATER. Drink clean water.

Clean water from nature has these properties:

It contains minerals.

It’s cool/cold.

It’s moving (not stagnant).

You can get clean water from a local natural spring, or buy Mountain Valley spring water in glass bottles at the store (or other similar brands).

Or make your own clean water at home that mimics these natural qualities. Filter your tap water, store it in glass, add some salt/minerals, keep it cool, swirl it around.

Your cells will thank you.

Not drinking mineral-rich water is a HUGE mistake. Drinking plain water will dilute the minerals in your cells & mess with your biochemistry.

SUNSHINE is key to your health, no matter what struggles you are dealing with! ☀️

Sunlight contains many powerful wavelengths of light including infrared, visible, & ultraviolet. These wavelengths activate important processes in our bodies.

We’re excited to share that Dr. Anna completed her Perinatal Certification through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) this week!

While we learned how to care for both pregnant and pediatric patients while in school and during our clinical experience, Dr. Anna decided to pursue her passion of caring for these populations by seeking additional training!

In addition to being Webster Technique Certified (a technique used with pregnant women to help restore neuro-biomechanical function of the pelvis), and now being Perinatal Certified, she is also close to completing her CACCP!

The CACCP is a very extensive certification through the ICPA that provides education and training to better serve both the pediatric and pregnant populations!

Did you know that chiropractic care is for more than just back or neck pain? At The Homestead Family Chiropractic & Wellness, we are focused on the health and function of your nervous system. Since your nervous system controls every muscle and organ in your body, when it functions better, so do you!

Postpartum mamas, this one is for you!

Everyone talks about the big changes that come with pregnancy & birth, but the postpartum time is just as important! We often like to call it the 4th trimester.

Mamas, you just completed one of the most physical events of your life. Whether you birthed vaginally or had a c-section, things don’t just “go back to normal”. Your body has an incredible capacity to heal, but it heals best when we hold space for the emotional & physical rest & support you need during this time!

Did you know that chiropractic care is a great addition to your postpartum care?

At The Homestead, we use gentle, safe, and effective techniques to take care of our mamas. Our chiropractic adjustments not only help your body to heal, but help your nervous system to function better.

Mamas, we’re here for you! We would love to be a part of your postpartum & health journey!

We know you want to focus your attention on your baby, but taking care of yourself is the first step to showing up better for your family!

Also, check out two posts before this one to learn why chiropractic is great for your little one, even right after birth!

All my pregnant mamas, raise your hands if you want to have a happier pregnancy and smoother birth 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️

Did you know that chiropractic care is a great addition to your pregnancy care?

At The Homestead, we use gentle, safe, and effective techniques to take care of our mamas, including the Webster Technique. This technique helps to restore proper neuro-biomechanical function of the pelvis— essentially meaning that the pelvis is restored to a state with more room for baby to get into an ideal position and so the pelvis is ready for all the hard work of pregnancy and labor!

Mamas, we’re here for you! We would love to be a part of your pregnancy & heath journey!

Babies are amazing little humans!

They go from learning how to breathe with their lungs to learning how to walk & talk in such a short amount of time!

To accomplish all of these incredible feats, babies have to be very in tune with their bodies & their environment (which is the job of the nervous system).

This is why babies respond really well to gentle, nervous system-based chiropractic care!

Chiropractic care doesn’t treat disease, but when the nervous system is functioning well, a variety of symptoms may resolve!

With a well functioning brain & nervous system, babies can better learn how to interact with the world & be the beautiful bundles of joy that they are!

At The Homestead Family Chiropractic & Wellness, we use techniques that are safe, gentle, and effective for the whole family— including your littlest ones!

Dr. Anna has completed hundreds of hours of training, so that she can better serve the pediatric population!

Our body uses a fever & mucus to detoxify & recover.

Our body is always adapting & healing.

THE BUCKET ANALOGY— our FAVORITE way to explain why symptoms arise & what to do about it! 🪣

Please read through to understand why silencing symptoms should NOT be the main focus of your “healthcare.”

Any mental/emotional stress falls under the category of “Thoughts”

It’s important to note that this does not have to be only about bad things!

Planning a wedding can (& should) be fun, but it still takes a toll on the nervous system!

This list is not exhaustive!

Mental stress is common in today’s fast paced society.

Our goal is not to remove all stress in your life (that’s impossible).

But we hope to help you remove what you can control & to make you resilient enough to handle the rest!

Unfortunately, some toxins are unavoidable in today’s world.

This list is not exhaustive by any means!

BUT, that doesn’t mean you should throw up your hands & give up! 🤷‍♀️

Take control to limit the toxic exposures that you can. This includes your drinking water, your personal care products, & your indoor air quality.

And then trust your body to handle the rest!

Make sure to do the things that make your body better at handling toxins.

Eat nutrient-dense food (choline is important for healthy liver function), move your body (keeps your blood & lymph flowing), & get your nervous system tuned-up! (Chiropractors help with this)

Physical traumas add up over time! Even little things from childhood that you don’t remember could be affecting your nervous system!

Chiropractic care helps correct structural imbalances that result from trauma.

It also helps improve nervous system function, which improves balance, coordination, & proprioception (knowing where your body is in space).

This reduces your risk for future injury! Who doesn’t want to be more injury-proof?!

Also, don’t neglect the effects of micro-trauma. Being hunched over your phone for hours a day takes a toll on your body & nervous system!

Find your local chiropractor (or come see us) to get your nervous system in tip-top shape!

"The human body gets sick as the result of excessive trauma or toxins or thoughts, or a combination of these agents." -D.D. Palmer, the Founder of Chiropractic.

The Three T’s are a major determining factor in how quickly your health improves!
