🧙🏽‍♀️ I’m not a regular mom. I’m a cool mom 💃🏽😎

I’m also a friend. Colleague. Daughter. Sister. Mentor.
And outside of being a mom, the thing i’m the most proud of is being a community leader and Chiropractor to mothers chasing the best version of themselves.

So ☎️ me for a good park walk, a coffee chat, a venting session, a conversation about our pelvic floor or our birth stories and a good adjustment. Guaranteed at least 3 of these things we will do during your visit to the office or a house call 😉 We know our visits are a different experience than you’ve had before 💕

our staff is always ready to support you. Call or text 904-404-0244 or email us at [email protected]

🍂 Immune support kit! 🍂

changes in season, rainy weather, travel and holiday season are upon us!!

👆🏽 Getting regularly adjusted (especially before upcoming travel or at the first sign of not feeling well!!!) is essential 💡 to maintain a boosted immune system that can react and adapt to unexpected changes — like this 🌧️!!

👆🏽 sinus and lymphatic drainage protocols can also be added to your visit if you or your little ones are congested or fighting a virus! 🦠

🙏🏽 Additionally, we recommend your own proactive activities at home:

✨ quality sleep
✨ whole foods, decreasing sugar and dairy during sick times
✨ a prevention kit like the ones featured above! these are staples we should keep in our home for those unexpected and unwelcome sniffles 🤧

🍂 grab your supplies next adjustment or comment IMMUNE if you want to place a special order to pickup! We will also have these available at the Jax Bump & Beyond Expo to purchase!

🌀Acupuncture & Chiropractic: one supporting the other

When we first decided to integrate Acupuncture into Thrive Family Chiropractic, our intention was to support mothers during the last few weeks of pregnancy when their goal was to have intervention free births.

The inability to get expecting moms in with a provider last minute was tough at times (considering birth has its own timelines) and it just made sense for what our practice values are.

Fast forward to over 3 years of integrating Chiropractic and Acupuncture and we have served hundreds of patients in so many more ways than we expected!

This post explains some of the most common things we support in our office.

❗️ With that - we recognize the complexity of Acupuncture theories and systems and when a patient presents with more complex symptoms, we refer out to one of our incredible Chinese Medicine providers in town

❗️Is this the same as Dry Needling? NO! and that’s ok! In Florida, Dry needling requires additional training Dr Padilla does not have (yet!) and so we refer out to Physical Therapists for this services.

👇🏽 comment below if you’ve had Acupuncture or what questions you may have!

Pediatric Chiropractic care is focused on restoring function to the body via the nervous system.

As our babies grow through the first years of life and begin learning complex movements like crawling 🚼 standing 🐥, walking 🚶🏽‍♀️ or jumping, our Chiropractors assess for proper movement and function.

❗️Identifying disruptions in gait during any of these stages is crucial for future development. Children don’t “grow out of it” …instead they continue to build abnormal patterns on top of abnormal patterns.

👐🏽 Gentle Chiropractic adjustments and Craniosacral therapy (CST) can release the tension patterns developed by abnormal movement and a disconnect between the nervous system and the body.

Signs of disruption in the nervous system affecting movement can look like:
💡 “crab” crawling
💡 toe or pigeon walking
💡 hip hiking
💡 foot dragging
💡 slipping crawling
💡 W sitting
💡 no cross body crawling

⏬️ Save this post or sending to a mom that has questions about their kiddo’s movement patterns. Our doctors can provide an assessment and create a plan to adjust, provide CST and follow up with additional providers like OT, PT if needed.

👆🏽Don’t watch and wait. It will only change into a different compensation pattern.
