🌿 TURMERIC + RED LIGHT THERAPY: BETTER TOGETHER? 🔴

This is some pretty fascinating research!

Most of us have heard of curcumin—the active plant compound found in turmeric—for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

But researchers have also begun studying what happens when curcumin is combined with photobiomodulation (red/near-infrared light therapy).

In one experimental study, researchers compared the treatments and found that the combination of curcumin and photobiomodulation was associated with:

🔥 Decreased inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α and IL-6
🌱 Increased growth factors involved in tissue repair
⚡ Improved cellular proliferation and migration
🩹 A shortened inflammatory phase during wound healing

In another animal study, the combination of photobiomodulation + curcumin significantly improved healing compared with either treatment alone.

This is exciting because it supports something we’re seeing more and more in wellness research: different therapies may complement one another by working through different biological pathways.

Red light doesn’t simply “activate” every herb you take, and this research isn’t proof that sitting in a red-light bed makes an oral turmeric supplement more potent. But the emerging research on combining photobiomodulation with plant compounds like curcumin is fascinating!

🌿 Support the body’s chemistry.
🔴 Support cellular function.
❤️ Give the body the environment it needs to heal.

We now have Red Light Therapy available in our office!

Additional research: Curcumin + photobiomodulation study⁠

The first study specifically reported reductions in the inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 with the combination, which makes it a particularly nice research link for your inflammation-focused audience.

ADHD & FOCUS SUPPORT IN OUR OFFICE 🚨
🧠 Understanding ADHD + How Chiropractic Care May Help

Do you or your child struggle with focus, attention, restlessness, or mental “overload”?

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain regulates attention, impulse control, and executive function. It’s not just “being distracted”—it involves how the nervous system processes and filters information.

Many people with ADHD also experience:
⚡ Difficulty sustaining focus
⚡ Mental fatigue or overwhelm
⚡ Restlessness or hyperactivity
⚡ Trouble with organization and task completion
⚡ Sensory sensitivity or feeling “on edge”

So where does chiropractic care come in?

Chiropractic care focuses on the health and function of the nervous system—the same system responsible for attention, regulation, and processing information.

When the spine and nervous system are under stress or not functioning optimally, it may contribute to increased tension, poor sleep quality, and reduced ability to regulate focus and calm.

Chiropractic adjustments aim to:
🧠 Improve nervous system communication
⚡ Reduce physical stress on the body
😌 Support better regulation and balance
💤 Promote improved rest and recovery
🎯 Help the body function more efficiently overall

While chiropractic care is not a “treatment for ADHD,” many patients report improvements in:
✔ Focus and clarity
✔ Stress tolerance
✔ Sleep quality
✔ Overall sense of calm and regulation

We take a whole-body approach—supporting the nervous system so the body can function at its best.

Some studies and reviews have explored the relationship between spinal care, nervous system function, and attention/behavioral regulation, including complementary approaches for ADHD support.

😴 Struggling With Sleep? Red Light Therapy May Be Worth Exploring ❤️💡

Insomnia isn’t just frustrating—it can affect your energy, mood, recovery, inflammation, and how you feel throughout the entire day.

One area I find especially interesting is photobiomodulation (red and near-infrared light therapy) and its potential role in supporting better sleep.

A 2025 randomized controlled trial studied adults with chronic insomnia and found that photobiomodulation was associated with:

✨ Improved subjective sleep quality
✨ Reduced daytime sleepiness
✨ Changes in brain-wave activity associated with sleep and wakefulness

This is still an emerging area of research—and red light therapy isn’t a replacement for evaluating the underlying cause of chronic insomnia—but I love seeing research explore non-invasive ways to support the body’s natural recovery processes.

At Mommy & Me Chiropractic, our red light wellness bed provides full-body red and near-infrared light therapy in a relaxing setting. ❤️

If sleep has been a struggle for you, ask us whether adding red light therapy to your wellness routine might be a good fit.

🤍 Postpartum recovery deserves support, too. 🤍

After growing and delivering a baby, your body has done something incredible. But healing doesn’t happen overnight.

Many new moms are so focused on caring for their baby that they forget to care for themselves.

One tool we love incorporating into postpartum wellness is red light therapy. It works by delivering specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light that support your body’s natural healing processes.

Potential benefits during postpartum recovery may include:
✨ Supporting healthy tissue healing
✨ Helping reduce muscle soreness and stiffness
✨ Promoting healthy circulation
✨ Encouraging cellular energy production
✨ Supporting overall recovery and wellness
✨ Providing a relaxing opportunity for moms to take a few minutes for themselves

Whether you’re recovering from a vaginal delivery or a C-section (once your provider has cleared your incision to heal appropriately), supporting your body can make a meaningful difference in how you feel.

Recovery isn’t selfish—it’s essential. A healthier, stronger mom is better equipped to care for her family.

If you’re curious whether red light therapy could be a good addition to your postpartum recovery plan, we’d love to answer your questions!

✨ Is your body trying to tell you something? ✨

If your joints feel stiff when you wake up, ache throughout the day, or seem to stay inflamed no matter what you try, it may be time to look beyond simply masking the symptoms.

Our Joint Mobility Program is designed for people struggling with chronic joint inflammation, stiffness, and reduced mobility who want to better understand what may be contributing to their discomfort.

We take a comprehensive approach that may include:
✔️ Evaluating movement and joint function
✔️ Looking at lifestyle and nutrition factors that can influence inflammation
✔️ Supporting healthy mobility through chiropractic care
✔️ Helping you create a personalized plan to move with greater confidence

You don’t have to wait until your joints keep you from doing the things you love.

If you’ve been living with chronic joint pain or stiffness and are ready to explore a different approach, we’d love to help you determine whether our Joint Mobility Program is a good fit.

✨ We are so excited to now carry the Ninni Co. Pacifier in our office! ✨

When parents ask us for pacifier recommendations, we don’t just look at what soothes a baby—we look at what supports healthy development.

The Ninni Co. pacifier is different because it:
🤍 Encourages a more natural, breast-like latch
🤍 Promotes active tongue, lip, and jaw movement
🤍 Supports healthy oral development
🤍 Is an excellent option for many breastfed babies

While no pacifier can fix oral dysfunction or replace an evaluation when feeding challenges are present, choosing one that works with your baby’s natural oral mechanics can make a big difference.

If you’re expecting, have a newborn, or are looking for a pacifier that supports healthy oral function, we’d love to help you determine if the Ninni is a good fit for your little one.

Stop by Mommy & Me Chiropractic to learn more or pick one up! 💛

As parents, we spend so much time checking off the school supply list—backpacks, pencils, lunch boxes, shoes, and new clothes. 📚✏️🎒

But one thing that isn’t on the list can have a huge impact on your child’s school year: a healthy nervous system.

When a child’s brain and body communicate well, they’re better equipped to:
✨ Focus and learn
✨ Regulate emotions
✨ Sleep well
✨ Handle stress
✨ Support a healthy immune system
✨ Sit, move, and grow comfortably

Chiropractic care isn’t about simply treating pain—it’s about helping the body function at its best so kids can thrive in every season of life.

Let’s help our children start this school year feeling calm, connected, and ready to learn. ❤️

If your child hasn’t had their back-to-school adjustment yet, we’d love to help them get off to a healthy start!
