Some of the things we hear around here are scarier than any Halloween movie. 😂🎃

And if you've said one of these before, we promise you're not the only one!

All jokes aside, we'd much rather you tell us what you've tried, how long something has been bothering you, and whether you've actually been doing those exercises we sent home with you.

We're not here to give you a hard time. We just want to understand what's going on so we can help you get back to doing the things you enjoy.

Happy Halloween from Heather and Michael at Family Roots! 👻

If tummy time lasts approximately 10 seconds before your baby has had enough, you’re definitely not the only parent dealing with that. 😂

Tummy time is actually a lot of work for a little body! Your baby is learning to lift their head, use their neck and shoulder muscles, and coordinate movements that are still brand new to them.

Sometimes they just need more practice, but other times, there may be something making those movements more difficult.

That’s one reason I pay attention to how babies move during their chiropractic visits. I’m looking at how comfortably they’re moving their head and body, whether they favor certain positions, and what parents are noticing at home.

Because tummy time isn’t just about getting through a few minutes on the floor. It’s helping your baby build the strength and coordination they’ll eventually use to roll, reach, and crawl.

Your baby can’t tell you what’s difficult yet, but the little things you’re noticing at home can tell us a lot.

And I always want to hear about them!

It’s funny how quickly you can get used to changing little things in your day because something hurts.

Maybe you don’t even think twice about skipping certain shoes, avoiding a longer walk, or sitting something out because you already know how you’ll feel afterward.

Those are the things we’re interested in helping people get back to doing.

SoftWave is one of the treatment options we offer at Family Roots for certain musculoskeletal conditions. It’s noninvasive, and for some patients, it may be worth exploring when an old injury or ongoing discomfort keeps interfering with everyday activities.

You don’t have to know anything about SoftWave to start a conversation with us. Just tell us what you’ve been having to work around.

We can help with a lot of things around here, but we know we do things a little differently around here.

We like getting to know our patients, understanding what's actually going on, and being honest about what we recommend. If we think something else needs to be looked at, we'll tell you that too.

And yes, we're probably going to ask how your family is doing while you're here.

That's just how we do things at Family Roots. 🤍

This is why we do X-rays in office.

If we had skipped imaging and just started adjusting, we could’ve completely missed what was actually going on.

I want to know what I‘m working with before I make a recommendation. That is just how I think care should work. You deserve to know what is happening in your own body, and I want to be able to show you exactly what I am seeing.

If you have been dealing with neck or back pain and nobody has actually looked at what is going on underneath, come in.

Text us at 931-244-1224 and we will get you on the schedule.

We have got some new additions in the lobby and you’re going to love them…

Just Ingredients electrolytes just dropped some new flavors and we have them stocked and ready for you to grab.

And if you have been looking for a cleaner afternoon pick me up, we also brought in their energy and brain boost. Same Just Ingredients standard, just a better option than your typical energy drink when that three o'clock slump hits.

And for our LMNT people, those aren’t going anywhere. We are just adding to what we have there is a larger selection.

Come by and grab yours anytime we are open. We would love to see you.

Your body is doing a lot of adjusting during pregnancy, even when you don’t realize it.

That’s why I believe caring for your body during pregnancy shouldn’t only start when something hurts.

I want to help you keep moving comfortably through all the changes so you can keep doing the everyday things that matter to you.

Pregnancy asks a lot of your body. It deserves support along the way, too. 🤍

We know there are options when it comes to choosing a chiropractor, and we think you should know what to expect before you ever walk through our door.

We built Family Roots around the kind of care we believe people deserve. Time to ask questions, honest recommendations, and someone who remembers what you're working toward.

And probably a conversation about your kids, your weekend, or something completely unrelated to chiropractic. 😂

We love the community we are a part of here in Lawrence County, and if Family Roots sounds like your kind of place, we'd love to meet you.

What if, almost 30 years after surgery, you were finally able to hike miles with minimal swelling and pain?

That was one of our patient’s experiences after just 5 SoftWave treatments, and she asked us to share her story because of how much it changed what she was able to do.

Maybe yours isn’t an ankle or a 30-year-old injury. But when something has bothered you for a long time, you get really good at working around it. You know how far you can walk, what movements to avoid, and which activities probably aren’t worth how you’ll feel afterward.

That’s why we wanted to share this.
Her win wasn’t just less swelling. It was hiking the equivalent of a 5K on a girls trip without her ankle deciding how much she could enjoy.

Everyone’s results will be different, but if you’ve been living around an old injury for years, SoftWave may be an option worth asking us about.

Give us a call or send us a message if you want to see if SoftWave might be a good fit for you!
