COMMON, NOT NORMAL: Pregnancy Discomfort + Round Ligament Pain

Back pain, pelvic discomfort, and round ligament pain are common during pregnancy, but that doesn’t mean you have to tough it out without support!

As a Gonstead chiropractor certified in the Webster Technique, I take a specific approach to pregnancy care. The Webster Technique focuses on pelvic alignment, sacral function, and the surrounding muscles and ligaments to help address mechanical stress as your body adapts throughout pregnancy.

Combined with the detailed spinal analysis of the Gonstead System, care is tailored to you and your changing body.

Expecting? I’d love to chat about how chiropractic care may support you throughout your pregnancy! 🌿

COMMON, NOT NORMAL: POOR SLEEP

Tossing and turning, waking up throughout the night, or never feeling rested when you wake up? Poor sleep is a common complaint, but that doesn’t mean we should accept it as normal.

There are some simple habits that can make a big difference, like getting direct sunlight in your eyes first thing in the morning, avoiding screens and heavy meals before bed, and going to bed and waking up around the same time each day.
But sometimes, we can follow these best practices and still not experience deep sleep. Your nervous system plays a major role in how your body responds to stress and transitions into rest.

With Gonstead Chiropractic, we use a precise system of analysis to identify areas of the spine that aren’t functioning properly and make specific adjustments where needed. The goal is to support proper nervous system function so your body can better shift out of go-mode and into rest.

You shouldn’t have to feel exhausted all the time and just accept it as part of life.

If poor sleep has become your normal, let’s take a closer look at why. Call (515) 207-5020 to schedule a consultation.

COMMON, NOT NORMAL: HEADACHES & MIGRAINES

Headaches and migraines are so common that it’s easy to accept them as something you just have to live with. Medications can absolutely be helpful when you need relief, but they’re really just working to quiet or silence the symptoms rather than addressing why they’re happening in the first place.

With Gonstead Chiropractic, we’re not just looking at where you feel the symptom. We use a very specific and precise system of analysis to identify areas of the spine that aren’t functioning properly, then make a specific adjustment where it’s needed. The goal is to address the root cause rather than simply quieting the signal your body is sending you.

If headaches or migraines have become a normal part of your life, let’s find out why.

COMMON, NOT NORMAL: A SERIES

There are a lot of things we’ve been taught to accept simply because they’re common.

Back pain. Headaches. Poor sleep. Feeling exhausted. Pregnancy discomfort. Painful menstrual cycles. Feeling like you need to crack your neck or back every day.

We hear these things so often that we start to assume they’re just a normal part of life.

But just because something is really common doesn’t mean it’s normal.

So, I’m starting a new series called Common, Not Normal where we’re going to talk about some of the things we’ve learned to accept as “just part of life.”

Because your body was designed to adapt and function well. And sometimes, when it’s not able to, we need to look deeper at why.

Sometimes it surprises people when I tell them that most of my patients are not coming in for pain!

While many people find chiropractic care because of aches and pains, most stick around for reasons that go far beyond pain.

Your nervous system controls and coordinates everything your body does: from movement and digestion to breathing, immune function, and so much more.

Because the spine houses and protects the spinal cord, we pay close attention to the spine and how it is functioning. Through specific chiropractic adjustments, our goal is to help the spine move and function properly so the nervous system can do its job as efficiently as possible.

Chiropractic isn’t just about chasing pain when something hurts. It’s about taking care of your body and giving it the best opportunity to function the way it was designed to.

And that’s why so many of my patients continue care even when they’re feeling great.

“Why would kids need chiropractic care?”

A lot happens to their little bodies from the very beginning. Birth itself can be stressful on the body, and then comes learning to roll, sit, crawl, walk, run, jump… and all the inevitable falls along the way.

Chiropractic care for kids isn’t about waiting until something hurts. It’s about checking their spine and nervous system as they grow, develop, and experience all those little (and sometimes not so little) bumps along the way.

Caring for kids is one of my favorite parts of being a chiropractor. 🤍 If you’ve ever wondered whether chiropractic care could be a good fit for your child, I’d love to chat.

On September 18th, 1895, D.D. Palmer performed the first chiropractic adjustment on Harvey Lillard in Davenport, Iowa.

And here we are, 131 years later.

Since that day, countless people have experienced the benefits of chiropractic care and found a different way to support their health from the inside - out.

Happy Birthday, Chiropractic! 🥳🤲🏻

Did you know there’s a reason we check patients seated in the cervical chair?

In the Gonstead system, there’s a rhyme and reason behind everything we do, and it all comes back to specificity in our analysis and adjustment.

Aside from allowing us to run the scope, we check the spine in a seated position because it’s a weight-bearing position, which allows us to assess how the spine is functioning under load. It also gives us valuable information as we palpate (feel) for changes in joint motion and tissue tension.

It’s one of the many little details that makes the Gonstead system so specific and why we don’t just put you on the table and adjust the same way every time.

Moms moving through pregnancy and postpartum with greater ease.

Babies getting a more comfortable start to life.

Growing, active kids who can keep up with everything life throws at them.

Dads who aren’t slowed down by aches and pains.

Grandparents who can hold their grandkids, get down on the floor, and keep up with the fun.

This is the kind of work that makes me feel incredibly grateful to do what I do. 🤍
