Health and Happiness

Chiropractic is so much more than relieving pain. Your nervous system controls your entire body, including the immune system. When the spine becomes misaligned, it produces inflammation that irritates the nerves and cause the corresponding areas of the body to not function optimally. Just because you do not currently have symptoms, it does not mean everything in your body is working at it's best.

A friend of mine who was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in his 20s, allowed us to do a brief experiment. He had no symptoms or complaints anywhere in his body. He took his blood sugar immediately before and a few minutes after an adjustment. His blood sugar was down roughly 40 points. The nerves to his pancreas were irritated so the pancreas was unable to function like it should and was not releasing the insulin needed to pull sugar out of the blood stream. 

If you only want to come in when you are in pain, you are of course welcome, as any adjustment is better than none at all, but I encourage and hope you will consider coming even when you aren't having symptoms.  Disease processes could be starting without you even knowing about it. Once you have symptoms it is because something has already happened. Other providers will address those symptoms but not figure out and correct the cause. A symptom is your body's way of telling you something is wrong. Taking medicine for a headache is no different than painting over mold. The problem is still there, you are just hiding it. This course of action will not only ignore the problem, it will likely result in more problems. 

Lots of people often blame genetics when something goes wrong with their health. Sure, genetics plays a role, but lifestyle is what triggers the genes to activate and cause issues. When I stick to my plan of a healthy lifestyle, I do not get even the common cold. I do not get headaches, I sleep well and overall feel amazing. I feel like I am 16 and I am 38.

My purpose in life is to help people. 

My goal and mission is to help your family live healthier, happier lives.

I lost my dad when I was 14 to a massive heart attack. He is the reason I do what I do. No one should have to go through what I did. It is preventable. I even named my business in his memory. He used to call me Sweet Pea.

I am here for you. Anytime you have questions or need support or advice, please do not hesitate to text or call me. While the concept of living a healthy lifestyle is simple, it is not easy. It will be hard work. But I promise you, it is worth it.

Yours in health, 

Dr. Karen 

"The choices you  make before conception and during each stage of your pregnancy will be a factor in your baby's wellness. During your pregnancy, the lack of interference to the baby's development gives them an opportunity for the inborn intelligence to develop their physical, emotional and spiritual nature."

Chiropractic is safe and effective for babies and children. The nervous system controls everything in your body and removing the interference between the body and the brain will allow your child to develop optimally and live a healthier and happier life.

Birth is a traumatic event and every newborn should be seen by a chiropractor. Left unchecked, your child may have problems immediately after birth or develop problems down the road. This includes, but is not limited to "colic", ear infections, breastfeeding issues, indigestion, constipation and trouble sleeping. 

At this stage, your little one is learning to walk! With that comes lots of falls. Those falls, though they seem minor, are causing microtraumas that should be addressed to prevent your little one from growing with their bones in the wrong place.

During this time, your child's spine should be growing straight, and from the side have healthy, normal curves, which makes this the worst time for your child to have sports injuries and falls. Chiropractic care is especially important in this age group to prevent scoliosis. It is also incredibly beneficial for conditions like bedwetting, seizures, asthma and more!

By this age, your son or daughter has probably experienced a fall or injury that affected the development of their spine but has not resulted in any pain. Teens tend to spend lots of time on electronic devices that leads to poor postural positions and repetitive stress on your child's developing spine. This is the age when most diagnoses of scoliosis are made. Most cases of scoliosis can be corrected with proper chiropractic care.
