Hey Sommers Chiropractic family! We're thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new page for Stowe Chiropractic . If you have received exceptional care at our South Burlington location please leave us a review of your experience and share with our new community!

Stowe Chiropractic

If you’ve been hearing whispers, the secret is out 🤐. Sommers Chiropractic is expanding!! We’re creating a second location in Stowe!

🚧 Yesterday we officially broke ground on Stowe Chiropractic and are anticipating a grand opening around October of this year. 🍁

During our groundbreaking ceremony Dr. Sommers said some words and together we bowed our heads in prayer, blessing both the land and the many lives we will get to change at the new building. 🙏🏼

He said “As we break ground, may this act symbolize not only the physical construction, but the spiritual foundation of our faith and pursuit of God’s purpose for our lives.”

May your holidays be filled with laughter, love, and endless blessings. Merry Christmas from our family to yours.

Last weekend we got to celebrate another amazing year together with our whole work family and significant others. We enjoyed an evening at The Essex Resort, a cooking class and bonfire chats. Huge thanks to The Essex for an amazing stay and to Chef DD for teaching us how to make a traditional Moroccan Dish. 🤤

We're excited for another amazing year to come! 🎁 🎄

You are never going to believe who we got to hang out with yesterday? Saaannntttaa!!!

He took time away from checking his lists to say hi to some good little girls & boys. The kiddos were so excited to see him!!! They got to sit on his lap and profess their Christmas wishes before crafting, playing reindeer games, and trying their hand at holiday BINGO. Everyone sipped cocoa and snacked on cookies while listening to Santa read “Twas the Night before Christmas”.

On his way back to the North Pole Santa wished everyone a “Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!”

This month in the office we are recognizing our OG patients, those who’ve been with us the longest. This pretty lady is the original OG, she has been with us since day one. We are truly grateful for her, and as you can see below the affection goes both ways.

“Hello! I met Dr. Sommers about 10 years ago and he has been making my life the best it can be with chiropractic care. I’ve been with Dr. Sommers and his wife Victoria since day one and it’s been wonderful seeing them build a business and a beautiful family! I highly suggest chiropractic care, even to those without pain. Did you know it helps keep your immune system healthy? Peace to all on your health journey!”

At Sommers Chiropractic we are blessed and grateful to all of you who’ve trusted us on your health journey along the way, the OGs and the newbies. Here’s to many more incredible years of changing lives!

Our bones are so amazing! They give structure to our body, allow us to move about, protect the most delicate parts of our bodies, and without them, we would all just be blobs.

There are 206 bones in the body, each with their own purpose and function. One function is to protect other parts of your body. For example, your rib cage protects your organs, your skull protects your brain (amongst many things), and your spine protects your spinal cord.

The spine is particularly interesting because it is made up of a set of 26 movable bones. So while it’s protecting your spinal cord, it’s also providing
structure and allowing for motion! That’s a lot going on at one time!

With all that going on, sometimes the bones of the spine can become misaligned, and instead of protecting the nerve tissue, they can distort the proper function and communication within the nervous system. This is called a vertebral subluxation, and it can be a big problem because your nervous system is responsible for running all the other systems of your body. If your nervous system isn’t working at its best, then the rest of your body can’t work at its best either.

At Sommers Chiropractic the Chiropractors check to make sure the bones of your spine are properly aligned so there is no disruption to you nerve system and your whole body can work at its best. Bones are amazing, and none are more amazing than your spinal bones. Be sure to get adjusted regularly to take the best care of your amazing bones.

Breakfast really is the “most important meal of the day.” Kids who eat breakfast tend to eat healthier overall, get more physical activity, and maintain a healthy body weight. Helping kids build healthful eating habits, including eating a nutritious breakfast, can build a foundation of eating right. But, making sure you have a good breakfast every day is a challenge. So, why is breakfast important and how can you make it easier on the whole family?

Why is breakfast important for kids?

Eating breakfast is important for everyone, but especially for children and teens. After going without food for 8 to 10 hours during sleep, breakfast gives our bodies the fuel it needs for the day. Eating breakfast helps jump start metabolism for the day. Kids who don’t eat breakfast will tend to feel an energy drain by mid-morning.

In general, kids who skip breakfast will feel tired, restless and irritable. Eating a healthful breakfast has been shown to help attention span, concentration and memory—all important for learning. Eating a good breakfast also helps kids:

⚾️ be more active
🎨be more creative
✍️ have better hand-eye coordination
🤔 have better problem-solving skills
🥗 meet daily nutritional requirements
🏫 miss fewer days of school

What kids eat for breakfast is important. Choose breakfast foods that:

🍳 include fiber and protein (peanut butter, whole wheat or corn tortillas, egg bakes)
🐮 contain low-fat dairy (milk, Greek yogurt and smoothies)
are rich in carbohydrates (fresh or frozen fruit)
🍎 are low in added sugar (fortified whole grain cereals and waffles)

What is your kiddos favorite healthy breakfast?

Having an evening bedtime routine is beneficial for school aged children. Performing similar activities in roughly the same order every night before bed creates a routine which, in turn, becomes a habit. This consistency helps the child to sleep more soundly and feel more rested in the morning. Higher quality sleep reduces sluggishness and equates to better focus throughout the school day.

What does a healthy bedtime routine look like for school-aged children?

🧦 Setting your clothes out the night before.

🦷 Brush your teeth using a cavity restoring, mineral rebuilding toothpaste/powder with hydroxyapetite.

🥬 Put together a healthy lunch for the next day. Focus on colorful, nutrient dense, high protein foods.

⏰ Hit the hay early and make the room comfortable. Turn off all devices, leave the room dark & cool (but add an amber nightlight if needed), keep special toys or blankets close-by.

At Sommers Chiropractic, we know what it's like to live at less than your full potential. You might be suffering from aches and pains every day. When you are, it's impossible to take care of yourself or your loved ones. Rather than looking for a quick fix that won't last, the team at Sommers Chiropractic offers you a new solution: corrective chiropractic care.

We often see patients who come in considering us their last resort. Perhaps they've visited multiple doctors and specialists, taken prescription after prescription and even had surgery with little if any improvement. Given our country's reliance on the conventional medical healthcare model, it's no wonder that people who take that path experience the same poor results over and over.

Chiropractic care is different. Our patients take steps to make corrections rather than staying stuck where they are. This form of natural healthcare also allows you to be more proactive about your health and prevent future issues.

Many people come in and say, "I've tried everything and nothing is working." By taking care of your spine and nervous system our patients learn the value of chiropractic care. And although some came to us as a last resort, they have found relief.

Here's how chiropractic works: instead of just taking care of a pain or a symptom, chiropractic removes interference from the nervous system allowing the body to heal. Our role as chiropractors is to get the roadblocks out of the way so the body not only can heal but function at its peak.

It’s time to find freedom from subluxations! Call today to schedule a consultation!

We always love finding new ways to show our practice members how much we truly appreciate them. This past week we teamed up with our new neighbors, Vim + Vigor Nutrition, to offer refreshing flavored tea for all. Turns out this was the perfect way to cool off on a hot summer day.

Vim + Vigor, owned by Heather & Ben O'Neill, serve meal replacement shakes, teas, coffee, protein drinks & more!

Welcome them to the neighborhood by visiting their storefront next to Barnes & Noble.

It's no secret that men are typically not the first ones to come in for chiropractic care. More often than not, it's their wives or mothers that drag them through the door. That was indeed the case for this gang.

So why is this? 🤔

The answer 👉 Men are more likely to suffer in silence or manage their pain with over-the-counter medicines because they have been conditioned to believe that showing pain is a sign of weakness.

However, when they are eventually come in and receive care, their lives are completely changed! Studies how men who receive chiropractic care can also experience:

✅improved sleep
✅decreased anxiety and depression
✅increased productivity
✅improved athletic performance
✅improvement in hormonal health
✅positive changes in cardiovascular health
✅…and so much more!

In a nutshell, chiropractic is all about restoring balance to your body and unlocking its innate ability to heal itself. That's right, instead of relying on medications or treatments that merely mask the symptoms, we get to the root of the problem and actually allow your body to heal itself. And when this happens, the results can be nothing short of miraculous!

We've seen countless men come in, skeptical at first and even sometimes scared. But by the time they leave, it's with a newfound understanding of health and wellness. Not to mention, many feel a surge of energy that they hadn't experienced in years. And for some of them, it's actually life-changing!

Whether you're dealing with persistent back pain or just feel like something is off in your body, you owe it to yourself to give chiropractic a try.

So, if you've been dragging your feet when it comes to chiropractic care, then this is your sign to finally take the plunge. Trust us, you won't regret it. And when all is said and done, you'll likely wonder how you ever went through life without it!!

Steve is a retired Arm Wrestling Champion and has suffered from neck pain for years due to previous injuries. He met us at the St. Albans Home Show where he was a fellow vendor, and after seeing the nerve interference scan of his neck he decided to schedule an appointment with us. Since being under care for just one month his neck pain has been relieved almost completely.

Since retiring from arm wrestling he has taken up a new hobby of photography. The backpack he carries can weigh up to 30 pounds, which he was not able to carry without pain prior to his adjustments. Now he's able to ride his bike, carry his photography backpack, and sleep better all without pain. Though he will not be coming out of retirement for arm wrestling, we are confident that if he ever did (even just for fun) his body would be able to handle the stress with a much better recovery rate.

"I would recommend Sommers Chiropractic because they are very professional and always friendly. They always greet me by name and consult me with every visit. I feel very comfortable with them being in charge of my treatment."
