Insight Scans

Did you know that we live our entire lives through our nervous systems?

Every movement, sensation, emotion, and organ function is under the guidance of the nerves

Here at Elevated Life Family Chiropractic, we perform a neurological assessment on day 1 and throughout your care with us to track progress on your health journey.

The insight scans are made up of the three most critical spinal-neural tests: Heart Rate Variability, Surface EMG, and Thermal Scan which tell us how stress is impacting your overall health and well-being. It precisely detects where and how deep the problem is. Chronic stress and body tension over time can hinder our overall health.

Based on your individualized neurological assessment, Dr. Randy will develop a highly personalized care plan with the goal of moving toward optimal neuro-spinal function.

Optimal Position During Pregnancy

Throughout pregnancy, the growing body tries to adapt to the weight gain, increase of hormones, and postural changes that follow. These postural changes increase the risk of sacral/pelvic imbalance at any given time. The bones of the pelvis and the supportive network of ligaments, tendons, muscles, and associated nerves are all under constant pressure and change. The resulting torsion and inflammation of imbalanced muscles and ligaments may then prevent the baby from comfortably assuming the best possible position for their birthing.

Here at Elevated Life Family Chiropractic, Dr. Randy is Webster Certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. Webster technique is defined as "A specific chiropractic analysis and diversified adjustment for pelvic balance during pregnancy allowing for optimal fetal positioning (head down/anterior) for an easier, safer birth. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation and/or SI Joint dysfunction. In so doing, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is improved.”

Prenatal chiropractic care is essential for optimal positioning during pregnancy, allowing the body to be in a state of ease for a safer and easier birth process.

Dr. Randy's Favorite Parker Principle

Dr. Randy went to school at Parker University in Dallas, TX. One of the main reasons he chose to go there was because of the Parker Principles. These principles were developed by Dr. Jim Parker, the founder of Parker University. They are grounded in compassionate care and loving service. The most well-known principle is, “Loving service is my first technique.” Dr. Randy feels the principle, “Develop a compassion to serve that is greater than the compulsion to survive,” is what helped him to cling to the “loving service,” principle!

Webster Technique Seminar

Over the weekend, Dr. Randy was in Dallas, TX to renew his Webster Technique certification.

The Webster technique is a gentle chiropractic method that promotes optimal pelvic function and alignment for pregnant women. The adjustment is designed to help with pelvic function and reduce soft tissue to relieve ligament stress.

Commit to These 6 Habits and See What Changes Happen in Your Life

We're past that 2-week hump of those New Year’s Resolutions, those "New year, new me," grand declarations of planning to change everything starting January 1st. Most people abandon their New Year's resolutions within the first 2 weeks of the year.

Instead of making huge changes, try adding small things and building on them over time. Doing small things consistently could drastically shift your ability to move through your day-to-day life.

Pick one to start with and when you feel like you're ready to add more, slowly incorporate them into your routine. Starting off with a commitment to meditate for 15 minutes a day if you have never meditated or are recommitting to it after a long sabbatical, will feel like an uphill battle. Start with 30 seconds to 1 minute and add another 30 seconds to 1 minute every 2 weeks to a month. Whatever keeps you coming back to it consistently!

Self Love & Self Care

February is all about self-love and self-care.

Self-love is an important part of life and can be practiced in many different ways.

One of the best ways to practice self-love is to make sure that you’re taking care of yourself.

Make sure that you’re getting enough rest, spending some time grounding, working on mindset practices, eating whole nutritious foods, and engaging in activities that fill YOUR cup.

It’s important to take time for yourself and do things that you enjoy. For example, you can journal or meditate, read a book, spend time in nature, cook your favorite meal, and even take the time to rest in a bath.

Here at Elevated Life Family Chiropractic, one of our favorite ways for self-care is to make sure the nervous system is free of any interference so that you can adapt to life stressors with EASE. Nervous system care is the ultimate form of self-love.

Breath Work and How it Affects the Nervous System

Did you know that utilizing breathwork can tap right into our nervous system?

When we use our full diaphragm to breathe, it activates our Vagus Nerve. Our Vagus Nerve is a powerful cranial nerve that triggers our parasympathetic nervous system allowing our body to relax.

If our body is constantly in a state of sympathetic overdrive (this is called fight or flight), our physical and emotional states are under stress and imbalance.

By breathing deeply with a slow and steady inhalation-to-exhalation ratio-- our breath can signal our parasympathetic nervous system to calm the body down and get out of a state of "stress."

Try taking 5 to 10 minutes out of your day to breathe intentionally and let us know how you feel below!

Benefits of Getting Outside

During these colder months, we find ourselves inside more often. Did you know that enjoying nature and getting sunshine has great impacts on our health? The winter months make it harder to do just that.

The lack of vitamin D can make it harder to sleep and we can begin to notice ourselves and our family getting sick more often. GET OUTSIDE WHEN THE SUN IS OUT! Take advantage when you can and try to wear as little clothing as you can get away with while still staying warm. Even if the sun isn't out, try to take a short walk outside. It can be a game-changer when you're having a rough day.

Check out the graphic above for some health benefits of getting outside. We encourage you to get outside this week and tag us @elevatedlifefc in your favorite ways to get outside during the winter! BONUS if it's with your little ones!
