We try to make your chiropractic experience as efficient as possible, but we cannot see progress without the rhythm of pounding the stone.
Read MoreMany pregnant women ask what they can do at home to help support the chiropractic adjustments and minimize or even avoid aches and pains during their pregnancy.

Read MoreAs a mother, the top priority is raising healthy children. For centuries, we have been taught to be afraid of germs and that the younger we are the weaker our immune system is to fight off a virus or bacteria by itself. There is not one system in the body that acts independently. Any kind of stress to one system influences the other systems.
Read MoreIs it safe? This is the first question a newborn is asking upon entering the world and it is answered in milliseconds. The human brain is wired to search for trust. Trust followed by satisfaction breeds more trust. This is why immediately after delivery it is critical to have mother-baby bonding.
Read MoreIn order to optimize birth and minimize trauma, all participants need to feel safe, supported and connected during the birthing process. The vagus nerve is both an indicator for resilience and a potential risk factor for a newborn. It forms a network of nerves originating in the brainstem, wandering down to the gut. It transmits signals related to feelings of safety and threat, thereby influencing both our emotional state and physical sensations. It is not solely about ‘getting’ the baby out; rather, it’s about feeling safe enough to let the baby out.
Read MoreChoices we make daily and seasonally affect our immune system function. Although it seems impossible to resist the stresses imposed on us by the demands of our hectic society, we can reduce the effects these stresses have on our families’ health. Two important keys: The lifestyle choices we make that reduce ongoing stressors and what we do to help our bodies adapt to the incoming stressors.

Read MoreMuch of life, is unpredictable. To do almost anything interesting is to put yourself into a situation where you can’t be sure what will happen next. Society continues to put restraints on opportunities for children to experience risky play, out of concern for safety. It is no surprise children today are suffering record levels from anxiety, panic attacks, feelings of helplessness, and poor physical fitness. Something stressful activates the sympathetic nervous system, so heart rate increases. Risky play helps to normalize physiological arousal so it is not itself a source of fear.
Read MoreSubluxations cause change in the nervous system’s tonal expression, either toward a sympathetic or parasympathetic state of function. Chiropractors have long recognized how subluxations can be caused by the inability of normal adaptability to thoughts, traumas, and toxins.
Read MoreTherefore, the strength of the host, not the presence of the germ, was the true causal factor of disease. Abundant health and vitality for a lifetime are your nature and your birthright, just as they are for the germ. All there is to fear is that interference, that toxicity, that deficiency that would disconnect you from your healing source, weakening your defenses, and distorting the fullest expression of your inner life potential. You are built to be well!
Read MoreOur brains are not designed for this amount of information overload. The brain is a memory organ that rewires and reorganizes itself based on our daily lifestyle habits. Our minds have been trained to expect to take in information in the same way that the news distributes it.
Read MoreNational Institute of Mental Health did a study for a simple motor task - finger tapping exercise. As the subjects tapped they did an fMRI to see what parts of the brain were being activated. In 4 weeks after finger tapping exercises were performed, a repeated fMRI of the brain showed that areas of the brain expanded by recruiting new nerve cells and had rewired neuronal connections.
Read MoreWhy do so many of us feel like we're going 0 to 100 mph everyday? Why do so many of our children do the same. Lets dig into the science behind getting “STUCK” in stress mode, and how to get “DETOXED” if you are! Every day, there are changes or challenge that bring stress.

Read MoreJust because the roof leaks only after it rains, doesn’t mean we wait until it gets bad enough or that it will eventually stop leaking.
Read MoreTrue health is like climbing stairs. It’s not easy but more work always ends up in a better place. The sooner we start, the easier it will be to maintain that overall wellness than to regain it once it is lost. This is why we have a saying in our office “it is easier to grow healthy children, than it is to mend broken adults”.
Read MoreWe often weaken our neuroimmune system by over stressing the body, not getting the proper nutrients or proper recovery time, and by using our educated mind to undermine it’s natural ability and send in artificial robot cells that appear and act like the real thing to do the job. The problem is the brain no longer learns from the experience or maybe the battle is prolonged, which isn’t sustainable. Chiropractic adjustments help the body recover and function optimally so the Innate Intelligence can live a life of full expression.
Read MoreHealing takes time and repetition. Just because we aren’t seeing the results on the surface in six weeks doesn’t mean healing isn’t happening underneath. Neurologically based chiropractors use state of the art technology to assess the state of the underlying function of the nervous system in order to get to the root cause
