If your low back always seems to act up when life gets busy, you’re not imagining it. Stress and a overloaded nervous system love to land in the muscles and joints of your low back, leaving you stiff, sore, and guarding every move. In this post, Dr. Amber explains why that happens, how chiropractic and massage work together to calm your system, and why you don’t have to wait for the next big flare to get help.

Kids don’t have bills or inboxes, but they do have stress—and their bodies often show it before their words do. Frequent meltdowns, “mystery” tummy aches, restless sleep, and clingy behavior can all be signs of an overwhelmed nervous system, not a “bad kid” or “bad parenting.” In this post, Dr. Amber explains how kids’ stress shows up in their bodies and how gentle, nervous-system-focused chiropractic care can help them settle, sleep better, and feel more like themselves again.

Most women are told to constantly “tighten” and “strengthen” their core and pelvic floor—but rarely told how stress and the nervous system affect those same muscles. In this post, Dr. Amber walks through how bracing becomes your new normal, what that can feel like in everyday life, and how nervous-system-focused chiropractic care and massage can help your body finally relax, breathe deeper, and build true strength on a foundation of safety.

If your jaw is tight, clicks, or constantly clenching, it’s not just a bad habit—it’s often a sign your nervous system is stuck in protect mode. In this post, we dig into how stress affects the jaw, why “just relax” doesn’t really work, and how nervous-system-focused chiropractic care plus massage can help your jaw (and the rest of you) finally exhale.

January has a way of making us feel like we need to fix everything at once—new routines, new goals, a whole “new you.” But real change doesn’t come from perfection; it comes from intention. In this post, we talk about choosing one right thing to focus on, letting go of habits that quietly drain you, and supporting your nervous system so you can feel clearer, calmer, and more like yourself—without trying to become someone completely different.

A few days after Christmas, many people expect to feel rested—but instead feel wiped out, tense, and not quite like themselves. Post-holiday stress can keep your nervous system stuck in “go mode,” even when the calendar starts to calm down. In this post, we’ll walk through why that happens and how chiropractic care, massage, and simple daily supports can help you reset before the New Year.

Struggling with holiday headaches? Learn how stress overload affects your nervous system and how chiropractic care, massage, rest, and simple habits can reduce tension, ease pain, and help you enjoy the season with more ease.

So many kids who end up in a chiropractic office actually started care long before their first adjustment—while mom was still pregnant. Prenatal chiropractic and prenatal massage help support a calmer, more regulated nervous system, better movement, and a more comfortable pregnancy as your body adapts to constant change. And when mom feels supported, baby benefits too. As babies grow, gentle chiropractic care can continue supporting how their little bodies adapt—something parents often notice through better sleep, happier digestion, fewer ear issues, and kids who feel more regulated and resilient—especially heading into the colder months.

The holiday season has a way of pulling us in a hundred different directions. School concerts, class parties, shopping lists, travel plans, family gatherings, and all the “extras” we somehow try to squeeze in… it’s a lot.

And somewhere in the middle of that hustle, it becomes really easy to skip over the things that actually keep you (and your family) feeling well.

It’s funny how the memories that stick with us usually aren’t the big, perfectly planned ones. They’re the simple things — the laugh that bursts out halfway through dinner, the smell of a recipe that somehow feels like home, the little traditions you don’t even realize you love until they show up again.
