My heart is SO full! 🎃🧡

I truly cannot put into words how incredibly grateful I am for everyone who came out to celebrate our Trunk or Treat with us! Seeing so many families, smiling faces, adorable costumes, and little ones having the best time made the evening so special. 🥹

A HUGE thank you to everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to decorate a trunk, set up a table, donate goodies, or help make this event possible.

Your time, generosity, and willingness to show up for our community mean more to me than you know. We truly couldn’t have done it without you! 🫶🏼

When I started Family Essentials Chiropractic, I wanted to create something that was so much more than just a chiropractic office. I wanted to create a place where families feel welcomed, supported, connected, and part of something special.

And nights like this remind me exactly why I do what I do. 💜

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁, 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨. 💜 Thank you for supporting our small business, for showing up for our community, and for allowing us to be a small part of your families’ lives.

With so much love and gratitude,

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆.

Arching at the breast. Pulling off. Crying through feeds. Completely inconsolable by evening.

And you know these parents, too.

Exhausted. Frustrated. Desperate for answers. Wondering why something that's supposed to be so natural feels so incredibly hard.

They've been told it's colic. Or reflux. Or that some babies are simply "like this."

But what if we stopped treating these symptoms as the end of the conversation and started asking more questions?

𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀.

It requires coordination between the jaw, tongue, lips, muscles, and nervous system. A baby needs to be able to latch, suck, swallow, and breathe in a coordinated rhythm.

And when something in that process isn't working well, feeding can become frustrating for both baby and parent.

That's why I believe in looking at the whole baby.

✨ How are they moving?
✨ Is there tension or restricted movement?
✨ Are they comfortable turning their head in both directions?
✨ How are they responding to touch and positioning?

These are all important pieces of the puzzle.

𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 "𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁."

They deserve to be heard. They deserve a thorough evaluation. And they deserve a team of providers willing to look beyond the obvious.

As a pediatric chiropractor, my role is to evaluate your baby's movement, comfort, and musculoskeletal function, and work alongside lactation consultants and pediatric providers when additional support is needed.

Chiropractic care isn't a replacement for lactation support or medical evaluation, and it isn't a proven treatment for reflux or breastfeeding dysfunction. But assessing the whole baby can help identify concerns that deserve attention.

Because behind every difficult feeding journey is a baby trying to communicate and a parent trying desperately to understand.

Milestones aren’t a competition.

There isn’t a trophy for the first baby to crawl.

And your baby’s development doesn’t need to look exactly like another baby’s Instagram highlight reel.

But milestones ARE valuable information.

They give us little windows into how your baby’s strength, coordination and movement are developing.

Instead of obsessing over an exact date, I love looking at HOW a baby moves.

Are they using both sides of their body?

Do they strongly prefer one direction?

Are they comfortable during tummy time?

How are they transitioning between positions?

Are they exploring movement?

Development deserves attention without creating anxiety.

We can celebrate your baby’s individual timeline AND pay attention to what their movement is telling us. 💜

School is officially back—and so are the backpacks. 🎒

Books.
Water bottles.
Chromebooks.
Lunch boxes.
Folders.
And apparently 37 completely necessary rocks they found at recess.

All of that gets carried by a growing body.

A few simple backpack habits can make a big difference:

🎒 Use BOTH straps.
🎒 Keep the backpack close to the body.
🎒 Put heavier items closest to the child’s back.
🎒 Clean it out regularly. (Good luck. 😂)
🎒 Pay attention if your child consistently complains about neck, shoulder or back discomfort.

And remember: kids need MOVEMENT.

After spending hours sitting in class, give them opportunities to run, climb, stretch and play.

Growing bodies weren’t designed to sit still all day.

“Why would a baby need a chiropractor?”

It’s one of my favorite questions because pediatric chiropractic is often VERY different from what parents imagine.

We aren’t treating babies like tiny adults.

Pediatric care is gentle and adapted specifically for their little bodies.

Babies are also developing at an incredible rate.

They go from having very little control over their bodies to holding their heads up, rolling, sitting, crawling, standing and walking in a remarkably short period of time.

My job is to evaluate how their body is moving and functioning and determine whether chiropractic care may be appropriate.

Sometimes parents bring their baby because they have a specific concern.

Sometimes they simply want their baby checked as they grow and develop.

Either way, questions are ALWAYS welcome here.

I want you to understand what I’m checking, what I’m doing, and why. 💜

Moms are really good at saying, “I’m fine.”

Your neck hurts.

You haven’t slept through the night in approximately 4 years.

Someone is always asking you for a snack.

Your hip has hurt since pregnancy.

You’re carrying a toddler on one side while holding 14 bags on the other.

And when someone asks how you’re doing?

“I’m fine!” 😂

Consider this your reminder:

You are allowed to take care of your body BEFORE it forces you to.

You don’t need to earn care by being in enough pain.

And taking care of yourself isn’t separate from taking care of your family.

You’re part of the family too. 💜

Pregnancy changes your body in some pretty incredible ways.

And while growing a human gets most of the attention, there’s a LOT happening behind the scenes.

Your center of gravity shifts.
Your posture changes.
Ligaments become more relaxed.
Your pelvis is adapting.
Different muscles start working overtime.

And somehow you’re expected to continue living your normal life while all of this is happening. 😂

Prenatal chiropractic care is one way we can support your body as it adapts.

My goal isn’t to tell your body what to do.

It’s to help create the best possible environment for your body to do what it already knows how to do.

And you don’t have to wait until you’re miserable to get checked. 💜
