Longevity Chiropractic

Welcome to the world baby Adler Payton! Birthed on 4/2/21 by my amazing wife at full term (42 weeks) with no epidural, all natural vaginal birth with less than 5 hours of labor with 1.5 hours of that time pushing (thank you Webster Technique)! We couldn’t have done it without the help/knowledge/guidance from our doula team @nurture.birth who made our experience extremely special - EVERYONE should look into getting a doula! We are on cloud 9 over here, see you all back in the office 4/20!

MOM AND BABY: WHEN TO START GETTING ADJUSTED Last Wednesday I had the pleasure of treating two different 2 month old babies for their first ever adjustment AFTER I had treated their mother’s throughout the entirety of their pregnancy using the #Webstertechnique This brings me so much joy because mom, and now entire family - including baby, understands the big picture of chiropractic: you can prevent issues before they occur and feel good and comfortable i...n your body through all of life’s stages rather than waiting for symptoms to occur before you seek treatment I specialize in treating pregnant women and infants because it is important to me that women don’t deal with unnecessary pain during their pregnancy, that way they can focus all their energy on growing their new baby and in turn that baby can have the best chance to grow up to be a healthy, well-adjusted adult Expecting Mothers should get in at the early stages of pregnancy so we can correct misalignments using the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic technique for pregnant women, before the body goes through rapid changes in that short period of time Every infant should go to a Chiropractor that specializes in pediatrics as soon as they’re well enough to get out of the house. We perform GENTLE chiropractic adjustments with the infants that are both safe and effective, and much different than anything you’d do with an adult #preventative #pregnancyadjusting #pediatricchiropractor #chiropractic #chiropractor #webster #pregnancy #epicpediatrics #pediatrics #welladjusted #longevitychiro #longevity #posture #infants #babies #OC #ICPA #ICPA4KIDS See more

B R E A T H E - seems so simple but sometimes we forget to take a nice deep inhale (through your nose) and then exhale (out your nose as well) to help relax and reset your body and mind My wife and I just completed our virtual 5-week #hypnobirthing course with @mindbodybabyoc and one of the major cornerstones is how correct breathing can be transformational during child birth. One of my specialties, the #webstertechnique, for to-be mamas goes hand-in-hand with what we learned... about hypnobirthing and I am thrilled to be able to spread the word about it here and to my pregnant patients. Helping pregnant women before birth is one of my passions to help them and baby be as comfortable as possible leading up to and during the birthing process. Let me know if you have any questions about what Longevity can offer #pregnant women and please check out @mindbodybabyoc ! Thank you for an amazing course we will use for our baby to come and general life lessons learned during our time with you!

The Doc will be upgraded to Dad come March 2021 to a baby boy! So thrilled and honored to raise our future son with my beautiful wife, Bailey!

GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS AKA GMOs While it is always important to look at all food labels to know what you are putting in your body, it is especially vital during these times to keep your immune system functioning at its tip top shape When at the grocery store, and wanting to be there for as little time as possible, a very quick way to know if the snacks and meals you are selecting is checking the price lookup sticker... If the sticker contains a four-digit number, this means it is a conventional item (not organic). This can mean that it contains synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Additionally, if the sticker contains a five-digit number with an 8, it is a #GMO If the sticker has a five-digit number and begins with a 9, it is an organic product and you should snag it up! Happy *organically* eating and share this with your friends and family so they can be eating well, too! #eatwell #organic #organicfoods #wholefoods #goodfood #eatright #holisitic #holistichealing #holisticliving #holistichealth See more

SITTING AS AN EXERCISE? Try it out next time you’re working on your laptop or texting the squad! **Warning, in this position, your dog may think it’s play time** This is a great exercise for those dealing with #posture issues, #hunchback, weak lower back, tight hamstrings, tight calves, tight lower back, #sciatica etc OR better yet, it’s great for those of you who don’t want any of those things! We must be PROactive not REactive to your health! Much like the standing ...#founder pose from #foundationtraining this active stretch from #egoscue focuses on stretching your posterior chain, more specifically the superficial back line laid out beautifully by @anatomytrainsofficial Next time you’re watching TV or on your phone, pull yourself out from between the cushions and have a seat on the floor with your back against the couch Lean forward and scoot your seat back as far into the couch as possible so when you sit up your back has to arch to meet the backrest This will be slightly uncomfortable, but don’t let your seat scoot out away from the couch while you slowly straighten both of your legs one at a time until you’re in this position. IF you’re able to get both legs straight, then next you will PULL your toes toward you EVENLY so that your feet are still straight and not getting torqued out to the right or left/into inversion or eversion Take breaks in between, but try to sit up straight, sexy double chin with your arms spread out like me, and straighten your legs as much as you can while pulling those toes back towards you - don’t forget to breathe! *This last part is what makes this an active stretch, much different than just bending over and touching your toes
