❓FAQ Friday: Is chiropractic care safe for children?

The short answer is yes, when performed by a chiropractor trained in pediatric care, chiropractic treatment uses gentle, age-appropriate techniques designed specifically for infants, children, and teens.

Parents often bring their children in because they want to support healthy growth, movement, posture, and overall wellness. Pediatric chiropractic care focuses on helping the body move and function as efficiently as possible while supporting a healthy nervous system.

Some potential benefits may include:
✨ Better movement and mobility
😴 Improved sleep
🤸 Support for healthy growth and development
😊 Greater comfort and overall well-being

Every child is different, which is why every evaluation is personalized. Before beginning care, we perform a thorough examination, discuss your concerns, and determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your child.

Our goal isn't simply to "adjust kids." It's to partner with parents in helping children stay active, healthy, and ready to enjoy everything childhood has to offer.

One of the most important things we do isn't adjusting spines...

It's being honest.

At 33/18 Chiropractic & Wellness, we believe chiropractic care can help many people live healthier, more active lives. But we also know that it's not the right solution for every condition or every person.

That's why every new patient begins with a comprehensive consultation and examination. We take the time to listen, evaluate your concerns, and determine whether chiropractic care is the best option for your specific situation.

If we believe we can help, we'll explain how.

If we don't believe you're a good candidate for chiropractic care, we'll tell you that, too,and when appropriate, we'll help guide you toward the healthcare provider or specialist who can best meet your needs.

We're not interested in treating everyone. We're interested in doing what's right for every patient who walks through our door.

Thank you, Herb, for trusting us and for your kind words. We appreciate the opportunity to help you better understand your health, even when chiropractic wasn't the right course of care.

Because sometimes the best treatment plan starts with an honest conversation.

Headaches shouldn't be something you just "learn to live with."

If tension, neck stiffness, or poor posture are contributing to your headaches, chiropractic care may help address the underlying cause,not just mask the symptoms.

Many headaches are linked to dysfunction in the neck, tight muscles, and restricted joint movement. By improving spinal mobility and reducing muscle tension, chiropractic care may help:

✔️ Reduce headache frequency
✔️ Ease muscle tension and stiffness
✔️ Improve neck mobility
✔️ Promote relaxation
✔️ Help you get back to living life with fewer interruptions

Every headache is different, which is why we take the time to understand what's causing yours before recommending a personalized treatment plan.

Disclaimer: Chiropractic care is not appropriate for every type of headache. A thorough examination helps determine whether you're a good candidate for care.

Have you been looking for a chiropractor? Confused about how to choose amongst all the ones that bubble to the top when you do a Google search? Read on to help make your decision easier...

A doctor with a good table side manner. What’s that mean? They should be talking to you like you are a person and not a problem to be solved, or a wallet to be drained. They should want to know what you are experiencing ...

💭 Myth Monday

Myth: Chiropractic adjustments are painful.

Fact: Most patients tell us they're surprised by how gentle an adjustment actually is.

We often hear things like:

"That's it?"

"I thought it was going to hurt!"

The truth is, chiropractic care isn't about forcing your body into position or seeing how loud an adjustment can be.

At 33/18 Chiropractic & Wellness, every adjustment is tailored to the individual. We consider your health history, your comfort level, your mobility, and your goals before recommending care.

For many patients, the adjustment itself is comfortable and is followed by a feeling of relief or improved movement. Some people may experience temporary soreness afterward, much like after starting a new workout, but it typically resolves quickly.

Our goal is simple:

✔ Help you move better.
✔ Help you function better.
✔ Help you feel confident throughout your care.

🌿 Lifestyle Saturday

Posture is more than standing up straight.

It tells a story about how your body moves, adapts, and compensates throughout the day.

Sometimes those changes happen because of:

💻 Hours at a computer
📱 Looking down at your phone
🚗 Long commutes
🏡 Daily activities around the house
🏃 Old injuries or repetitive movements

Poor posture isn't something to feel guilty about; it's information.

At 33/18 Chiropractic & Wellness, we don't just ask, "Where does it hurt?"

We ask:

✔️ How are you moving?
✔️ Where is your body compensating?
✔️ Is your posture making everyday activities harder than they need to be?

Because our goal isn't perfect posture...

It's helping you move more efficiently, feel more comfortable, and keep doing the things you love.

🌿 The 33/18 Lifestyle Challenge

Three times today:

✅ Stand up.

✅ Roll your shoulders back.

✅ Take five slow, deep breaths.

✅ Walk for two minutes.

Tiny habits, practiced consistently, are what create lasting health.

⭐ Testimonial Thursday

Sometimes it's the little things that remind us how much we rely on our bodies every day.

Opening a jar.
Buttoning a shirt.
Gripping a golf club.
Holding a grandchild's hand.

When Eric mentioned that his thumb wasn't moving well and was becoming painful, Dr. West took the time to evaluate it as part of his overall care.

The result?

"My thumb gained mobility and reduced the pain... besides all the other improvements that I am gaining every day!"

We love stories like this because they're a reminder that better health isn't just about reducing pain, it's about improving the way your body functions so you can live life more comfortably and confidently.

Thank you, Eric, for trusting us with your care and for taking the time to share your experience. We're honored to be part of your journey.

💙 Helping people move better, function better, and enjoy life, that's what we're here for.

🌿Wellness Wednesday

We check our phones dozens, sometimes hundreds, of times a day.

But when was the last time you checked in with your mindset?

The way you think affects the way you live.

It influences your stress levels, your relationships, your motivation, and even how you care for your body.

Today, take just 60 seconds and ask yourself:

💭 What am I grateful for?
💭 What's one thing that's going well?
💭 Is there something I need to let go of?

Wellness isn't just about how your body feels.

It's also about what your mind is carrying.

Be kind to yourself today. Your mind deserves the same care and attention you give everything else.

💙 What's one thing you're grateful for today?
