Posture is an excellent insight to how well your brain perceives your body. Your brain’s main job is to control and coordinate all functions of your body. That’s really hard to do when it’s not exactly sure where your body is.

Here are a couple of before and after posture photos that a client of mine generously allowed me to share. This was 8 visits over one month.

Not only did the pain that brought her into my office resolve, she also has noticed how her body has changed how it stores and releases tension patterns.

Almost everyone can benefit from chiropractic. If you are ready to see how you can book your initial visit or a free discovery call below. Prices are listed; questions are welcome.

One of my favorite clients took pictures of me adjusting her daughter and told me I could share them with you.

She climbed up on the table after mom was done and looked at us as if to say “now I get a turn “ She did great.

My approach is to use gentle contacts to help the brain update its map of the body. When I work with adults with chronic stress and tension, I use the same contacts as I use with babies and little kids. The goal of the chiropractor’s adjustment has never been to just move a bone. It is to support connection, safety, and ease between the brain and body by reducing interference in the nervous system.

If this cool kid can do it, so can you.

There are several advantages to out of network care. Because I do not accept insurance, you know exactly what the cost of care is. No surprises.

Another advantage is I can give care based on what your body needs and best responds to without having to follow strict insurance coding definitions.

I just had an excellent 1-1 with Jalynn Anderson. She works with Aflac as a benefits advisor, but what she really does is help people understand options for coverage without exploitation. I’ll share her card below. She’s great.

One of the questions I ask on my re-exam survey is the totally open ended "what changes have you noticed since begining care?" I had a client today tell me she has noticed that her body is "more willing to fix itself." I have adjusted her only 7 times.

That really is my goal with long term care. Your body is designed to adapt to its environment and heal. Part of adaptation and healing is letting go of stress and tension that no longer serves. This is the function that my work supports.

If you have stress or tension that your body seems reluctant to shed, I would love to have a conversation with you.

I had the honor of adjusting my youngest client ever the other day. She was two days old. It was wonderful watching her little body visibly shift and relax as she released her bracing patterns.

Tonal chiropractic is so gentle. The contacts I use when working with stress stored in the body are very similar to the contacts used with infants.

I so grateful for the opportunity to work with such a delicate system and for the mom allowing me to share the experience with you.

I love what I do!

I had a great new experience last weekend. I did my first motorcycle camping trip. It was a great combination of two things that I love doing and it was entirely new. I actually learned a good bit from it.

So how on Earth is motorcycle camping relevant to chiropractic?

It was a new experience; an opportunity to learn. Learning, from a neurological perspective, is change in the nervous system in response to the environment or an experience. This is usually understood as new synaptic connections being made (synapses are the connections between brain cells). This is what happens when a new experience is something your nervous system can tolerate at that time.

But what if the experience is not something your nervous system can tolerate? If the experience is too much, the nervous system makes changes in the body to protect you. Tension increases in muscles, blood pressure increases, cortisol (stress hormone) enters the blood, fascia stiffens, etc. this response was great when we were hunted by saber toothed cats and fighting neanderthals and bears on a somewhat regular basis.

Now too much happens more subtly. Most of us are never physically attacked and we don’t even have to hunt our own food. Now too much comes in the form of stress. We have jobs, bills, taxes, and 24 hours isn’t a lot of time anymore.

When you get adjusted, your body has the chance to shed some of these defensive layers and your nervous system gets a second chance to learn from an experience that was too much at the time.

Moral of the rambling: try new things; it’s good for you and maybe take care of your nervous system. Get adjusted.
