Safety Pin Cycle

/

The connection between the brain and the body is similar to that of a safety pin.

Your nerves carry messages between the brain and the body. When the "safety pin cycle" or the brain-body connection is communicating, there is no interference. This allows for alignment and balance, normal function, and ease.

When there is stress or interference built up between this connection, the safety pin is "open," which causes misalignment, dysfunction, and abnormal symptoms to arise. Subluxations or interference interrupt the communication system, creating a state of dis-ease.

How can chiropractic care improve the brain-body connection? Each chiropractic adjustment allows for the "safety pin cycle" to close so that the body can regulate and be in a better state of ease!

Testimonial Tuesday

/

After a patient has been with us for a number of visits, Dr. Randy performs a Progress Exam to see how the patient has progressed since starting care. A Progress Exam looks similar to the Initial Exam done before Dr. Randy begins adjusting a new patient. When we do our Progress Exams, we ask specific questions about how the patient feels about their progress, feedback, etc. These are just a few of the responses we've received recently! This is exactly how we hope our patients feel about our office! Thank you so much for providing feedback!

Chronic Coughs and Chiropractic

/

Did you know that chiropractic care can be your ally in the battle against chronic and irritating coughs? 💪🤧 Beyond easing aches and pains, nervous system-focused chiropractic care optimizes your body's natural defense systems.

Through chiropractic care, Dr. Randy's goal is to enhance nervous system regulation, which allows for optimal immune function and respiratory health. By addressing underlying imbalances or interference within the spine, chiropractic care not only reduces the risk of falling ill but can help diminish those nagging coughs that just won't quit.

Are you ready to see how chiropractic care can help you or your child with improved health? Elevated Life Family Chiropractic would love to help find the root cause of these issues and help set the foundation for overall adaptability and healing!

The 3 T's of Chiropractic

/

Let's talk about the three T's of chiropractic!

The majority of spinal subluxation causes can typically fall into three categories, known as the three Ts: thoughts, traumas, and toxins.

Thankfully, each of these things can be alleviated through chiropractic care!

No matter what specific area of concern you may be dealing with, whether it be trauma, toxins, or thoughts, Dr. Randy is an expert in neurologically-based chiropractic care and is highly trained to find specific spinal subluxations, correct them with gentle adjustments resulting in proper function of the central nervous system.

Because the brain and spine are the center of the central nervous system, ensuring they are in proper balance means that our body can be properly balanced to handle whatever comes our way, whether it be stress on the body, stress in our thinking, or stress on our system from unwanted toxins.

Call us at Elevated Life Family Chiropractic to see for yourself how chiropractic care can enhance overall healing and help you feel and function at your best!

Breastfeeding and Chiropractic

/

The breastfeeding journey between a mom and baby is nothing short of amazing. Breastfeeding goes beyond nourishment. It reinforces the sacred bond between you and your child, encourages your uterus to resume its normal size, and releases oxytocin (the love hormones).

While breastfeeding is a natural process and latching is innate to babies, it doesn't mean it always comes naturally. Chiropractic care allows for improved latch and decreases overall body tension and restrictions.

Dr. Randy ensures that proper latch and tension are released physically but is here to guide you to the right support to help with your breastfeeding journey!

What Side of the Nervous System are You Functioning On

/

You go to the dentist to get your teeth checked.

You go to the optometrist to get your eyes checked...

So why aren't you going to the chiropractor to get your nervous system checked?!

We live our entire lives through our nervous system. It controls every single function within our body! A well-balanced nervous system allows us to feel and function our best. This makes us more resilient and able to adapt better to life stressors.

Chiropractic adjustments work specifically with the nervous system to help our body function on the parasympathetic side of our nervous system, also known as the "wellness cycle." When we are in a state of ease our body can adapt to sickness, recover faster, improve our digestion, decrease inflammation, and so much more!

So what are you waiting for? Come see what side of your nervous system you are functioning on. Call Elevated Life Family Chiropractic to get your first appointment scheduled today!

4 Ways Chiropractic Can Help With Pelvic Floor Issues

/

Your pelvic floor is basically a large sheet of muscles that stretches from your tailbone in the back to your pubic bone in the front. The muscles that make up the pelvic floor help to keep the organs in the area, such as your bladder and bowel, in place. You can think about these muscles as slings or hammocks for the organs in the pelvis, offering them constant support.

Issues with the muscles that comprise the pelvic floor are unfortunately pretty common. This is because, over the course of life, they can become too tight, stretched out, or too weak to do their job appropriately. One of the biggest causes behind weakened or stretched pelvic floor muscles is pregnancy -- an event that definitely puts the area through its paces!

Pelvic floor dysfunction is a condition many women suffer from but are often embarrassed to seek help for. You don’t have to suffer from the side effects of pelvic floor dysfunction because... chiropractic care CAN help!

Swipe to see 4 ways chiropractic adjustments can help pelvic floor issues.

Immune System Support: Elderberry

/

Have you been looking for things to help support your family's immune systems during these colder months? Aside from regular adjustments, which help keep the immune system functioning optimally, elderberry is a great addition to your routine!

What exactly are elderberries and what do they do for our bodies?

The berries and flowers of elderberry are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that boost your immune system. They could help tame inflammation, lessen stress, and help protect your heart, too. Some experts recommend elderberry to help prevent and ease cold and flu symptoms.

Next time you're in the office, check out the options we have from Earthley.

Elderberry Syrup DIY Kit

Elderberry DIY Kits make it easier than ever! There's no need to overbuy herbs or spend time researching for the best recipe. Simply boil in water and add honey, syrup, or a sweetener of choice. Each kit makes about two cups of syrup, which is enough to last one month for a family of four.

Elderberry Elixir

Elderberry Elixir is a liquid botanical remedy that combines elderberries with lung- and immune-supporting herbs. It’s shelf-stable, super-concentrated, and easy to use! Elderberry has a long history of use for both daily immune support and as a respiratory remedy. Our formula is more powerful than elderberry alone because of its complementary herbs! Made with certified organic ingredients.
