As the holiday season rapidly approaches, it’s common to stress over things like preparing meals, shopping for gifts, and having the financial stability to provide all of those things for yourself and your loved ones. Although many of us might be practicing social distancing this holiday season, it’s likely we’ll still go through some of the holiday motions. This holiday season might seem especially stressful, lonesome, and depressing.

However, there is a lot you can do for yourself to stay physically and mentally well, and chiropractic is one drug-free option that addresses both departments simultaneously. Your spine and your body/brain are inextricably connected, and one simple chiropractic adjustment can provide drug-free pain relief, provide you with a better night of sleep, reduce anxiety, and brighten your mood — all in one simple visit with your local chiropractic care specialist.

At Espinosa Family Chiropractic we provide our wellness treatments to patients of all ages and from all walks of life. Contact this Sacramento Chiropractic Care Specialist today to schedule your holiday consultation. We hope you stay happy, healthy, and well.

Many people know by now the many benefits that chiropractic treatment offers patients who experience injuries, but what about for patients who are feeling what they perceive to be healthy and well?

At the end of the day, our immune system plays a vital role in warding off infectious organisms from entering our bodies. A good immune system will seem invisible — you won’t even know it’s there. But you will know if you get sick.

Chiropractic treatment is a great way to give your immune system a boost. One simple adjustment can help clear the sinuses, motivate quality sleep, and ensure that your internal systems are running at optimum capacity, including your GI system.

Combine chiropractic treatment with a healthy diet. Vitamin C helps boost your immune system as well and so does elderberry extract, red peppers, and a number of other healthy foods. Getting out in the sun is also good for your immune system as well, giving your body crucial Vitamin D.

When we think of chiropractic treatment, many of us think “Car Accident,” or “Lower Back Problems,” and even things like “Workplace Injuries.”

Not many folks out there view chiropractic treatment as it should be viewed, as a drug-free wellness service geared toward patients from all walks of life.

When we get through our 20s and 30s our bodies are likely starting to feel the daily grind we’ve been putting ourselves through over and over again. Gravity starts to set in and our spines might be starting to get misaligned due to poor posture and overuse.

For our 40+ patients chiropractic treatment offers the following benefits:

• Better Night of Sleep
• Drug-Free Pain Relief 
• Improved Flexibility
• Improved Mobility
• Improved Cognitive Function
• GI System Boost
• Immune System Boost
• Mood Boost
• And Much, Much More!

If you’re wondering how to get over any sort of humps that might be holding you back in your life, chiropractic might be the secret you’ve been looking for. Contact Espinosa Family Chiropractic to learn more about how our treatments keep patients of all ages healthy and well. 

At Espinosa Family Chiropractic we deeply understand how this November might be a stressful month. For one, we have a stressful election on our hands. Second, we’re in a global pandemic. Third, the holiday season is quickly approaching.

If we don’t keep our wits about us and our health and wellness routines in check, anything can happen this month.

First, take the time to meditate and practice mindfulness exercises, which go a long way in quieting even the most restless minds.

Next, exercise until you’re tired, which will help you burn your energy in the right places, instead of tossing and turning in bed at night worrying about all the things you can’t change. Working on your diet is also a great idea — eating clean, whole foods and staying hydrated are two keys to building a healthy mind, body, and life.

Chiropractic treatment is also an amazing avenue this month to double-down on your wellness. Our treatments at Espinosa Family Chiropractic have been shown to improve flexibility, reduce anxiety, promote a better night of sleep, and much, much more. We’re open during this COVID-19 pandemic and taking every measure to keep our facilities clean and safe for our patients and community. Contact us today to schedule your consultation.

If you’re looking for ways to stay active and fit this Fall season, then Espinosa Family Wellness has you covered!

First, take your exercises outdoors, which will help you recharge a bit and get some fresh air. You’ll also find yourself working different muscles than you would on the treadmill since you’re not on a running track. You can either trail run outdoors or take your active recovery regiment outside to a secret nature spot. We won’t tell!

Next, try to incorporate some bonafide Fall flavors into your nutrition plan — and we don’t mean pumpkin spice lattes over here. Prepare some hearty roasted Fall vegetables — squash, zucchini, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts are all packed with essential vitamins and minerals that will power you through the Fall season.

Lastly, chiropractic treatment is a great way to rid yourself of those cold season aches and pains you’ve been living with. Our treatments provide drug-free pain relief that helps our patients avoid prescription drug usage. We’re all about keeping our patients healthy and well full time over at Espinosa Family Chiropractic. Contact us today to learn more about how we’re helping patients stay safe and healthy during this pandemic.

The short answer is a resounding YES.

Chiropractic treatment has been shown to benefit athletes in numerous ways. One simple chiropractic treatment can help basketball players get a better night of sleep, even after a hard day of training. Chiropractic adjustments also provide drug-free pain relief, which will help you stay in the game, even with those aches and pains that come about from jumping up and down on the hardwood court.

Basketball is just pain hard on the joints, and chiropractic treatment is the perfect antidote. The sooner you start exploring the benefits of chiropractic treatment, the more your body will thank you for your choice. Contact Espinosa Family Chiropractic today to schedule your consultation. We have a long track record of keeping athletes healthy, happy, and at the top of their game.

When people think of the chiropractor, they often think of an elderly patient having back trouble, or a patient seeing a chiropractor in the aftermath of an automobile accident, however, chiropractic treatment stands to benefit patients of all ages and from all walks of life — even those who perceive themselves to be 100% healthy.

One simple chiropractic adjustment stands to provide a plethora of benefits to our patients in their 20s especially.

Below, Espinosa Family Chiropractic discusses a few health benefits those in their 20s can glean from chiropractic treatment.

The Perfect Antidote for the Daily Grind

If you’re out there hustling, it’s likely that you’re either driving to and from work, not to mention sitting in front of a computer during your job, or, at the very least sitting in front of the TV after a hard day’s work to decompress. All of these activities put a ton of strain on your spine. A good chiropractor can help alleviate the pain and tension that you experience from your daily routine, setting you up for success on a daily basis.

Get a Better Night of Sleep

Just like after a good yoga class, a great session with your local chiropractor will have you feeling peaceful, serene, and as though you could sleep like a baby. Re-adjusting the spine helps the body function properly, which ensures that your energy is spent in the right places. Chiropractic treatment has even been shown to benefit those who suffer from insomnia.

Active Recovery

If you’re an active twenty-something, it’s time to devise an active recovery plan for your off days, which should include yoga or some type of stretching, not to mention chiropractic treatment, which will help ease tension from activity, increase flexibility, and improve range of motion as well. Contact Espinosa Family Chiropractic today to schedule your consultation if you think you’re a twenty-something who could benefit from one simple adjustment.

To say it’s been a stressful and impactful year is an understatement. Right now we’re dealing with a global pandemic that doesn’t seem to be easing up. Some of us are separated from loved ones and have been for the better part of the year by now.

Pair this with the fact that we’re in an election year and this election will be happening in just a few short weeks — people on both sides of the coin are extremely on edge during these times. 

That’s why it’s extremely important to make sure that you take care of yourself, especially your mental landscape during this time.

Exercise

We tend to think of exercise as only benefitting our bodies, but when we don’t exercise, this means that we have built-up energy that we’re not using, which means it will get used in other ways or show up in other ways. Anxiety will often be the culprit here. When you have extra energy to burn, a lot of times you’ll spend it thinking about all of your life’s worries at night instead of sleeping soundly after a day of hard work and hard exercise.

Meditate

Meditation has been shown to provide an immense amount of benefits to those who choose to practice. Meditation has been shown to reduce anxiety, boost mood, not to mention increase mental focus. When you sit down to meditate, try your best to let your restless thoughts settle. Try your best to think of nothing for 10-20 minutes. When you catch yourself thinking, simply become aware of it, and make yourself stop. Do that over and over again until your time allotment is up. As you build your meditation practice you’ll catch yourself thinking less and less as you go along.

Chiropractic Treatment

Chiropractic treatment has been shown to help promote a better night of sleep, boost mood, reduce anxiety, not to mention ease tension in the back, neck, joints, and other areas of the body. Contact Espinosa Family Chiropractic today to schedule your consultation during the month of October in order to double-down on your mental wellness protocol.

The “Terrible Twos” is what a lot of people describe a time in a child’s life when they begin to experience mood shifts and shifts in behavior, perhaps mixed with a dash of coming into their own power and stretching the margins of that power.

Since you’re likely staying at home during these uncertain times of pandemic, it’s a good idea to have some handy solutions ready that will help your child create a space where they can be healthy and well year-round.

One way to set your child on a path to wellness early on is to cultivate a relationship with your local chiropractor. Chiropractic treatment provides an immense amount of benefits to infants and children, benefits that speak to the terrible two-year-old in all of us.

First, chiropractic treatment will help your child get a better night of sleep, which will help them get the rest they need to function at 100% the next day.

Chiropractic treatment has also been shown to improve mood and reduce depression, not to mention boost brain cognition — all benefits a cranky two-year-old can certainly benefit from.

As your child grows, chiropractic treatment can come through in the clutch, helping relieve growing pains the all-natural way.

Today the honorable profession of chiropractic turns 125! Yes, that’s correct, chiropractic specialists have been providing their drug-free treatments in order to alleviate or in some cases even cure a variety of health conditions, abnormalities, and maladies alike.

Back in 1895 D.D. Palmer provided an adjustment for Harvey Lillard in a quiet place in downtown Davenport, Iowa — the rest is history!

Over the last century-plus, the chiropractic profession has evolved and refined itself, helping patients from all walks of life live happier, healthier lives.

Moving forward, chiropractic treatment is only going to be more important. As we continue to face our current opioid epidemic, chiropractic adjustments provide the drug-free solutions that help patients avoid prescription drugs and opioid use.

At Espinosa Family Chiropractic we have a firm sense as well as a great appreciation for our rich history as chiropractic specialists. Contact us today and we’ll see about constructing a custom-tailored treatment plan that will help you get the sort of results you have to experience in order to believe.
