When you're under stress, your body releases hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones are helpful in short bursts, but when stress becomes chronic, they can contribute to:
• Increased muscle tension, especially in the neck, shoulders, and back
• Faster, shallower breathing
• Poorer sleep quality
• More frequent headaches
• Fatigue and difficulty concentrating
• Increased sensitivity to pain

Chiropractic care may also play a role by helping reduce muscle tension, improve joint mobility, and support healthy nervous system function as part of a comprehensive approach to managing stress.

Your mind and body are deeply connected. Taking care of one often benefits the other.

Heartburn every now and then is common. But when acid reflux becomes frequent, it may be a sign of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).

GERD can affect more than just your stomach. It may cause chronic cough, sore throat, chest discomfort, difficulty swallowing, and even disrupt your sleep and daily routine.

While chiropractic care is not a treatment for GERD, improving posture, spinal mobility, and reducing muscle tension may help support healthier movement and breathing mechanics. For some individuals, these changes can be one piece of a comprehensive approach alongside medical care, nutrition, and lifestyle modifications.

If reflux symptoms are frequent or severe, it's important to speak with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause.

A colicky baby can leave parents feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering what else they can do.

Colic is common, but that doesn't make those long nights any easier.

While the exact cause isn't always clear, some babies experience muscle and joint tension after birth that may contribute to discomfort. Gentle pediatric chiropractic care focuses on restoring healthy movement and reducing tension using techniques specifically designed for infants.

Every baby deserves to be comfortable, and every parent deserves support.

Swipe through to learn more about colic and one gentle approach that may help. 💚

Chiropractic for pregnancy is about more than moving the bones of the spinal column, it includes care for the soft tissue that contributes to in utero constraint, which commonly contributes to abnormal fetal positioning, less optimal birth outcomes, and prolonged labor time.

The doctors at Bella Vita are specifically trained in the Webster technique to address the patterns of misalignment and muscle tension that commonly occur during pregnancy.

Sciatica brings people to our office every week.

Burning, tingling, numbness, or pain that travels down the hip and leg can make everyday activities uncomfortable.

From sitting and driving to sleeping and walking. Sciatica often develops when irritation or pressure affects the nerves in the lower back and pelvis.

Chiropractic addresses sciatica at the source, the joint restriction that causes the inflammation putting pressure on the sciatic nerve.

'Like' this if you've ever experienced any of these symptoms in your leg! 👇

Your pelvis is the foundation of your spine.

It's motion or lack thereof is about more than flexibility.

Hip mobility is tied into your posture, walking mechanics, athletic capabilities, and can heavily impact the stress on your lumbar spine.

Shifts in the pelvis can occur from long hours sitting, exercise with poor mechanics, falls, injuries, and we see these start with children as they learn to walk.

By evaluating the joints of the pelvis (SI Joints) and adjusting them when necessary, we help to ensure the foundation of your spine functions properly. Setting you up for success!
