Ease Aches and Pains Naturally with Earthley’s Pain Potion

/

We all deal with aches and pains from time to time—whether it’s from daily movement, stress, inflammation, or simply life catching up to us. But instead of reaching for over-the-counter medications that can come with unwanted side effects, there’s a better, natural way to support your body’s healing:

Earthley’s Pain Potion

Crafted with powerful, plant-based ingredients, Pain Potion is a herbal tincture designed to ease headaches, muscle aches, and everyday discomfort—without the chemicals.

What’s in Pain Potion?

This all-natural remedy blends herbs that have been used for centuries to ease pain and reduce inflammation:

🌿 Willow Bark – Often referred to as “nature’s aspirin,” this herb helps reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

🌿 Catnip – Not just for cats! Catnip supports muscle relaxation and soothes tension.

🌿 Ginger Root – A natural anti-inflammatory that can ease swelling and joint discomfort.

🌿 Peppermint Leaf – Helps with headaches and relieves muscle soreness.

🌿 Turmeric Root – Supports a healthy inflammatory response and promotes long-term wellness.

Together, these herbs create a synergistic blend that addresses pain at the root—supporting your body’s ability to heal itself rather than simply masking symptoms.

Why Choose Pain Potion?

✅ 100% natural—no artificial additives or synthetic ingredients

✅ Alcohol-free and family-friendly

✅ Great for headaches, body aches, menstrual discomfort, joint stiffness, and more

✅ Supports rather than suppresses the body’s natural functions

Pain Relief That Supports Your Chiropractic Journey

At our office, we often remind our practice members that true healing is a whole body process. Chiropractic care helps remove interference from the nervous system, supporting proper alignment, movement, and function. But sometimes your body still needs extra support to calm inflammation and tension between visits—and that’s where Pain Potion shines.

This herbal remedy is a perfect companion to chiropractic care. By using it during flare-ups, stressful seasons, or recovery from physical strain, you can help your body settle into a more relaxed, pain-free state—faster.

Looking for Relief Without the Risk?

Ditch the chemical-laden pain relievers and support your body naturally.

Try Earthley’s Pain Potion and experience the power of plants to calm your discomfort from the inside out.



Why Every Expecting Mom Needs a Birth Ball—Especially With Chiropractic Care

/

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey—but it can come with its fair share of discomfort. As your body shifts to make room for your growing baby, it’s common to experience back pain, pelvic pressure, and tight hips. That’s where the Birth Ball comes in—a doula- and midwife-recommended tool designed to support moms before, during, and after pregnancy. And when combined with regular chiropractic care, the benefits multiply.

What Is the Birth Ball?

The Birth Ball isn’t your average exercise ball. It’s made with extra-thick, anti-burst, eco-friendly materials and is specifically designed to meet the needs of pregnant women. Each Birth Ball kit comes with:

  • A trimester-specific exercise guide (created by doulas!)

  • Non-slip hospital socks

  • A hospital go-bag

  • A quick-inflating hand pump

It’s everything you need to get started safely and confidently.

Benefits of the Birth Ball During Pregnancy

Using a Birth Ball regularly during pregnancy can help:

  • Relieve low back and hip pain

  • Promote better posture

  • Encourage optimal baby positioning for labor

  • Open the pelvis gently, allowing more comfort as the body prepares for birth

These benefits aren’t just physical—they help reduce stress and promote relaxation too.

How It Complements Chiropractic Care

Prenatal chiropractic care focuses on creating balance in the pelvis, relieving pressure on the nervous system, and ensuring proper alignment—all of which support a healthy pregnancy and delivery.

Pairing chiropractic with the Birth Ball can:

  • Enhance the work we’re doing to align your pelvis

  • Encourage baby to settle into an ideal head-down position

  • Help you stay mobile and comfortable between adjustments

  • Support soft tissue work and reduce ligament tension (like in round ligament pain)

It's a dynamic duo—your chiropractor helps align your spine and pelvis, while the Birth Ball supports those changes and builds strength and flexibility between visits.

Using the Birth Ball During Labor

During labor, the Birth Ball becomes an essential tool for comfort and positioning. Sitting on it, leaning over it, or bouncing gently can:

  • Reduce pain and pressure in the lower back

  • Help labor progress by encouraging movement

  • Give partners a way to support mom with counterpressure and massage

Many moms find that using the Birth Ball helps them stay focused and empowered during labor—especially when used alongside the relaxation techniques we often discuss in the office.

Postpartum Recovery & Soothing Baby

Even after birth, the Birth Ball has its place. Gentle bouncing can:

  • Help soothe fussy babies (game changer for newborn nights!)

  • Support core and pelvic floor rehab

  • Encourage healthy posture during breastfeeding and newborn care

Our Takeaway

If you’re pregnant or planning to be, we highly recommend incorporating the Birth Ball into your wellness routine. When combined with consistent chiropractic care, it helps support your body in the most natural, effective ways possible—from your first trimester to postpartum recovery.

Concussion Prevention in Football: The Role of Neck Stability, Chiropractic Care, and the Kapsul Shirt

/ Elevated Life Family Chiropractic/

Football is a high-impact sport. While helmets and pads offer essential protection, they don’t address every factor that contributes to head and neck injuries. In recent years, both science and clinical experience have shown that true brain protection must include the neck—specifically, the muscles and alignment of the cervical spine.

Chiropractic care has long been a trusted tool for improving spinal health and neurological function. And now, with new wearable tools like the Kapsul shirt, athletes can reinforce that care during training and competition—helping to reduce their risk of traumatic brain injury (TBI), including concussions.

The Neck’s Role in Concussion Risk

When a football player takes a hit—whether to the head, chest, or shoulder—the neck must absorb and redirect a large portion of that force. If the neck is unstable, untrained, or misaligned, the head can move more violently, increasing the risk of:

  • Concussions

  • Whiplash-style injuries

  • Subconcussive impacts that add up over time

This is especially true for youth and high school players whose bodies are still developing. The more support we can offer the cervical spine, the better prepared athletes are to tolerate the contact that football demands.

Chiropractic Care: Strengthening the Brain-Body Connection

At its core, chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper nervous system communication (between the brain and body), alignment, and function to the spine—including the cervical spine, which directly influences the head, brainstem, and surrounding musculature.

Regular chiropractic care may help athletes:

  • Improve neck posture and joint alignment

  • Enhance muscle balance and mobility

  • Increase body awareness and reflexes

  • Reduce nerve interference that affects coordination and control

In the context of football, these benefits translate to faster reactions, more controlled head movement, and a reduced risk of neurological stress during impact.

The Kapsul Shirt: Extending the Benefits of Chiropractic Into Training

While chiropractic adjustments support spinal function in the clinic, the Kapsul shirt offers an easy way to reinforce that support on the field. Designed with patented collar technology, the shirt subtly engages neck muscles and helps athletes maintain better head positioning throughout movement and contact.

🔍 What sets the Kapsul shirt apart:

  • Designed to dissipate acceleration forces during impact

  • Reduces up to 40% of stress and strain on the brain

  • Promotes neutral head and neck alignment

  • Encourages proprioception and postural control

  • Comfortable enough for daily training or game-day use

This makes it an ideal complement to chiropractic care—providing gentle, continuous support during real-world athletic conditions.

Two Tools. One Purpose: Protecting the Brain.

Together, chiropractic care and the Kapsul shirt create a layered defense strategy for football players.

  • Chiropractic improves the structure and function of the spine and nervous system.

  • The Kapsul shirt reinforces proper neck mechanics throughout practice and play.

This combination is especially valuable for:

  • Players recovering from previous concussions

  • Youth and high school athletes still developing coordination

  • Teams and families seeking proactive safety strategies

Final Thoughts: Prevention Starts With Preparation

Football will always be physical—but injuries don't have to be inevitable. By taking a comprehensive approach to athlete health—starting with the brain-body connection—we can protect players more effectively.

Chiropractic care restores function.
The Kapsul shirt reinforces it.
Together, they support the goal we all share: keeping athletes safe, strong, and on the field.

Welcome Dr. Tori to Our Office & the Shelley Community!

/

We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Tori to our chiropractic family and the wonderful town of Shelley, ID! If you haven’t had the chance to meet her yet, let’s just say—she’s bringing a whole lot of passion, expertise, and Florida sunshine to our corner of Idaho!

Dr. Tori grew up in Titusville, Florida (just a stone’s throw from Orlando) and originally set her sights on kinesiology, earning her bachelor’s degree from the University of Central Florida. But life had other plans! After experiencing a car accident in her early 20s, she discovered firsthand the incredible benefits of chiropractic care—and the rest, as they say, is history.

She went on to earn her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, Florida, where she graduated cum laude in 2024. During her time at Palmer, Tori and her husband JJ welcomed their first child—a lively little boy who keeps them on their toes! She experienced the power of regular chiropractic adjustments throughout pregnancy and postpartum recovery, and her son received his first adjustment before he was even a month old! Seeing the amazing benefits of the Webster technique and pediatric adjustments in her own life fueled her passion to help other moms, babies, and families feel their best.

Dr. Tori is certified in Webster Technique and Activator 1 Basic Protocol and is highly skilled in Thompson Drop and Diversified Techniques. Whether you're looking to move better, feel better, or navigate pregnancy and postpartum with ease, she’s here to help!

Tori and JJ have made their home in Ririe, ID, and she’s beyond excited to serve the Shelley community. So, if you see her around town, be sure to say hello—she’s always up for a good chat (especially if it involves kids, outdoor adventures, or all things chiropractic!).

Join us in giving Dr. Tori a warm Shelley welcome—we’re so lucky to have her! 🎉

Magnesium Sale-Help you manage Daylight Savings

/ Elevated Life Family Chiropractic/

Finally, we have more light! Daylight savings is upon us. Embracing the longer days ahead can be invigorating, yet the shift in time can indeed be challenging. To ease into this change, consider gradually adjusting your sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up 15 minutes earlier each day leading up to the time change. Additionally, exposure to natural light in the morning can help regulate your internal clock. Engaging in calming activities before bedtime, such as reading or meditating, can also promote restful sleep during this period of transition. Remember, be patient with yourself as your body adapts to the new schedule. By incorporating these tips, you can navigate daylight savings with a sense of ease and grace.

Magnesium is a vital mineral that plays a crucial role in supporting relaxation, promoting better sleep, and reducing stress levels. Incorporating magnesium-rich foods such as leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and whole grains into your diet can help improve your overall well-being. Additionally, magnesium supplements are available for those who may have trouble getting enough of this essential mineral through their diet alone. Prioritizing magnesium intake can lead to a more restful night's sleep and a calmer, more relaxed state of mind throughout the day. Remember, taking care of your body and mind is essential for a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

Feel like you might need a little extra help? Magnesium is a wonderful way to help your body ease into a state of rest and digest vs. fight or flight.

The Nervous System is the First Line of Defense

/

Did you know that your nervous system is your body's first line of defense? It's like the guardian of your health, constantly monitoring and adapting to your external environment. Here's why it's important to keep regulated:

🌟 Adaptability: Your nervous system's primary role is to help you adapt to your external environment. It's your body's built-in defense mechanism, responding to stressors and challenges by orchestrating physiological and emotional responses.

💪 Foundation of Health: The nervous system is the cornerstone of your overall health. It controls and coordinates the functions in the body, from heartbeat to digestion. When it functions optimally, you're better equipped to maintain balance and well-being.

🌿 Why Chiropractic: Chiropractic care plays a pivotal role in enhancing nervous system function. Through intentional adjustments, it removes interference and ensures that the lines of communication between your brain and body are clear. This, in turn, promotes adaptability, reduces stress, and optimizes overall health.

By improving nervous system function, chiropractic care empowers you to harness your body's innate ability to heal and thrive. It is one of the most impactful ways to regulate the Nervous System.

Chiropractic and Teeth Grinding

/

Have you ever woken up with a sore jaw or noticed yourself grinding your teeth, especially during times of stress? Teeth grinding, or bruxism, can be a physical response to both emotional and physical stressors. Here's a glimpse into the science behind it and how chiropractic care can help:

🔍 The Stress Connection: When we're stressed, our bodies can go into heightened alertness, often called the 'fight or flight' response. This stress response can lead to muscle tension throughout the body, including the jaw and neck muscles.

🦷 The "WHY" behind Teeth Grinding: Excess muscle tension can manifest as teeth grinding, which often occurs involuntarily during sleep. The constant clenching and grinding can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and even dental issues.

🔄 How Chiropractic care can help: Chiropractic adjustments aim to reduce muscle tension and rebalance the body, which can positively impact the nervous system. Chiropractic care can help alleviate the physical and emotional stressors contributing to teeth grinding by promoting relaxation and balance.

Our approach at Elevated Life Family Chiropractic focuses on whole-body wellness, addressing the root causes of stress-related issues. If you or a loved one struggle with teeth grinding, we invite you to make an appointment to see how Dr. Randy can help you become a more relaxed, stress-resilient "you." 😌🌿

ASD & Chiropractic Care

/

Dysautonomia is a condition characterized by dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary bodily functions like heart rate, digestion, and blood pressure. It can occur in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). While chiropractic care is not a cure or treatment for dysautonomia or autism, it can help benefit individuals with ASD and dysautonomia.

Our goal as a neurologically focused Pediatric Chiropractor is to focus on restoring balance to the autonomic nervous system by improving neuromotor tone, movement, and coordination.

At Elevated Life Family Chiropractic, we will assess the function of the nervous system and check for any subluxations and dysautonomia. We aim to remove the interference or subluxation between the brain and body to ensure your child's health and development are as optimal as possible!
