How Chiropractic Helps the Whole Family
When some people think of visiting a chiropractor, they associate chiropractic adjustments with pain relief instead of whole body wellness. But you don’t have to be in pain to visit us. In fact, the beauty of chiropractic is that it can benefit the entire family – from infants to seniors. Here’s how:
- Babies: When babies are born, the birthing process – even so-called “natural” – can be traumatic on their spine. Newborns often benefit from care after birth to ensure proper spinal alignment.
- Adults: The wear and tear of daily life can cause a number of problems in adults, from posture issues to too much bodily stress and many things in between. Chiropractic adjustments can help calm stressors and regulate the body.
- Senior Citizens: Many older patients find adjustments and care to not only help them feel better than they ever have before, but also help improve balance and equilibrium to diminish falls.
Three Resolution Ideas for a Healthy Spine
It’s that time again—the beginning of the New Year when resolutions are in full swing. We’d like to take the time to wish our patients a healthy and happy New Year and offer a few resolutions you can make to help keep your spine functioning at its best this year.
Exercise daily. Don’t be a couch potato in 2026 — as little as 30 minutes of exercise a day isn’t just good for your heart, it’s great for your entire body.
Laugh often. Did you know that laughter can stimulate your muscles, lungs and heart? It’s also a fantastic stress reliever, and when you’re experiencing less stress, you have a better chance of experiencing whole body wellness.
Visit our practice. Let us help keep you and your family happy and healthy in 2026 and for many years to come!
Can Your Pet Help You De-stress?
They’re cute, cuddly and never argue with us. Our pets also can help us live healthier lives for a number of reasons, with stress reduction being a major one. Exercise, yoga and meditation help many people de-stress but spending time with our pets is another habit that’s good for the body and soul.
Our animals show us unconditional love and are there for support during good times and bad. They also are the ideal workout companion. With dogs, in particular, you can walk them, run with them or have them retrieve a ball.
If you have allergies, consider getting fish or a hypoallergenic animal. Watching fish swim in a bowl or aquarium is profoundly relaxing and can lower stress levels.
Of course, another excellent way to reduce stress is with chiropractic care as it helps to reduce muscle tension and keep your nervous system healthy!
