Did you know that we live our entire lives through our nervous systems? 🧠
Every movement, sensation, emotion and organ function is under the guidance of the nerves.

Here at Lux Family Chiropractic, we perform a neurological assessment at day 1 and throughout your care with us to track progress on your health journey.

The insight scans are made up of the three most important spinal-neural tests:Heart Rate Variability, Surface EMG, and Thermal Scan which tell us how stress is impacting your overall health and well-being. It precisely detects where and how deep the problem is. Chronic stress and body tension overtime can hinder our overall health.

Based off of your individualized neurological assessment, Dr. Jen
will develop a highly personalized care plan with a goal of moving towards optimal neuro-spinal function.

With the new year approaching comes the pressure of creating and achieving all those new year goals you might want to achieve.

We can set as many goals as we please but without an action plan we often fail to hit those goals.

Instead of writing out a list of large goals for the year without a plan on how to achieve them, start with this guide on some real tips that can change the way you live your everyday life.

- Create a morning routine thats worth waking up for!
Setting your intention of the day with quiet time/prayer/meditation can help set each day up for success!

- Plan ahead for your week on Fridays.
This allows you to fully enter the weekend stress free knowing that your next week is fully planned out. It is important to rest and also do things you enjoy on the weekend to help avoid burnout during the work week.

- No technology before bed!
Blue light has been proven to affect our sleep cycles. Try avoiding screens 1 hour prior to your bed time for more restful sleep. You'll find it easier to conquer each day with consistent, quality sleep.

- Create one small habit change.
Bettering yourself and your quality of life isn't only about hitting massive goals. Making small changes each day can add up and lead to amazing success in the long run. Start with something simple like making your bed every morning or tidying up the house before bed each night.

What are your favorite tips for staying on top of your goals during the new year?

Did you know that pain is typically the last sign of dysfunction within the body? Most people seek out chiropractic care because of pain or discomfort, yet it's a sign that something may not be 100% functioning withIN the body AKA the nervous system function!

Here at Lux Family Chiropractic, we focus on whole body care: organs/gland control, areas of stress and discomfort, and everything else our body is trying to tell us.

While pain may be seen as a common dysfunction, it is not normal. Let's get to the root cause of what is CAUSING the pain rather than just focusing on it.

Did you know that our lymphatic system is in charge of keeping our inflammation levels in check and has a direct impact on how well our body detoxes, digests, AND impacts our neurological and cardiovascular system?

There are THREE main functions of our lymphatic system:
1. Protection + immunity
2. Regulation
3. Filtration of waste products

In order for our body to keep optimal health, we need to support and work with the body on every level. The lymphatic system is one of the most underrated systems that we MUST pay attention to!

Can you believe it's already time to head back to school? 🤯

One of the most common questions our office is asked around this time of year is, how can I set my child's backpack to be comfortable throughout the school year?

❌A heavy backpack full of supplies isn't fun for anyone! You may hear your child start saying that their neck or back hurts, which could be directly correlated to the weight + comfort of their backpack!

Tips that we recommend when it comes to fitting your little one for their new school bag is:
1. Finding the correct size of backpack (not too little and not too large) is key for comfort.
2. Padded straps will help decrease any tension on the neck and upper back.
3. Making sure there are adjustable straps to keep the heaviest part of the bag directly in the middle of the back.
4. Always make sure that your little one is wearing BOTH straps vs hanging the bag off of one shoulder! This ensures proper wear for comfort.
5. A padded backpack will allow the child to wear for much longer as well!
6. Always make sure to hang directly at the waist. A great rule is to make sure that the bag does not fall more than 4 inches below the waist line!

Hello Summer!

Here at Lux we rounded up our favorite "safe" and "non-toxic" brands to have some fun in the sun!

Our safe summer swaps are:

Sunscreen: While we think limited exposure to the sun is best, we have found that brands such as Badger, Earth Mama, and All Good are ALLLL GOOD alternative options.

Bug Spray: Brands such as Badger have their own bug sprays pre-made, but it's just as easy to make your own bug spray too! We recommend filling a spray bottle with witch hazel, peppermint, lavender, lemongrass, citronella, and tea tree essential oils.

Looking for a natural immune booster: get outside (barefoot in the grass preferred) and soak up all the natural vitamin D!

Popsicles: Good Pops are a great store bought product but we prefer making our own popsicles! Just put coconut water + any fruit/fruit juices into a popsicle tray and freeze!

Bubbles: California Baby and Bubble Tree are our favorite non-toxic bubbles for the bubble machines or for the kids to play with in the backyard!

While these are some of our favorite summer essentials, what brands have you found to be safe? Let us know below!

Are you constantly feeling like you are experiencing headaches or migraines?

Headaches are common, yet they are not normal to have daily. They can happen for a number of reasons such as imbalances in hormones, inflammation, stress, environmental toxins, and other causes.

The most common reason headaches come on is from stress. The goal of chiropractic is to not only release muscular tension but FREE your nervous system of any stress or interference.

With consistent chiropractic care, the body can start to heal and adapt to any physical, emotional, or chemical stressors that may be causing the headaches in the first place.

The body signals stress + anxiety in many different ways! Listening to our body and being aware of how we feel is so important when it comes to managing it in a healthy way.

The way we choose to adapt + manage our stress can effect us negatively or positively in our everyday life!

Chiropractic care can help increase your adaptability to stress while also helping us manage our emotions and mood.

In addition to chiropractic, some ways to de stress may include:

- Meditation 🧘‍♂️
- Exercise 🏃
- Night time tea 🍵
- Less screen time 📱

Have you felt like you are constantly stressed out?

Feeling anxious, always sick, constantly in pain, tummy issues, and or feeling drained all the time are all signs your body may be stuck in a fight or flight pattern.

There are two sides of the nervous system: your sympathetic (fight or flight) and your parasympathetic (rest and digest). The sympathetic side of your nervous system is our body's natural reaction to a stress response.

While it's a good thing that our nervous system has the fight or flight mode (think if a bear is chasing after you--> you want your fight or flight to kick in!) we don't want to be stuck there all the time. The more stress our body endures, the more engaged this fight or flight mechanism becomes. Before we know it, it becomes the primary way we perceive every day life and our health begins to decline as a result.

Swipe left to see the 5 common signs that your body may be stuck in fight or flight more.

Did you know there is a direct connection between your brain and your body?
⁣
All the systems of the body — circulatory, digestive, eliminatory, hormonal, glandular, immunological, muscular, reproductive, respiratory, and skeletal — depend on the optimal function between the brain/body connection via the nervous system. 💫⁣

When the neuro-spinal system has a disruption either emotionally or biomechanically, a pattern of dysfunction can occur resulting in increased awareness of symptoms. ⁣
⁣
The purpose of chiropractic care is not the treatment of conditions or disease; rather, it is the restoration of normal body function. ⁣
⁣
At Lux Family Chiropractic, our chiropractor works with the nervous system via gentle spinal adjustments. The goal is to reduce stress related interference to the nervous system, thereby enhancing overall body function. 🧠⚡️⁣
