well-being for children, parents, and even grandparents.

Whether you’re looking to improve immune function, posture, energy levels, or stress management, chiropractic adjustments can play a vital role in keeping your family thriving.
Align Chiropractic Cares for Families
📌 Research supports that family-based health initiatives lead to better long-term outcomes. A study published in Obesity Reviews found that families who engage in health-focused behaviors together see higher success rates in weight management, stress reduction, and chronic disease prevention compared to individuals pursuing health goals alone.
📌 Children model their parents’ habits. The Journal of Pediatrics reports that when parents engage in healthy activities like regular chiropractic care, exercise, and clean eating, their children are more likely to adopt these habits and maintain them into adulthood.
📌 Spinal health plays a critical role in overall function. The nervous system controls every organ, muscle, and function in the body. Families who receive regular chiropractic adjustments experience improved nervous system function, leading to better digestion, immune strength, sleep quality, and overall resilience.

How Regular Chiropractic Care Supports Family Wellness
1. Boosts the Immune System Naturally
Studies have shown that chiropractic adjustments enhance immune function by reducing nervous system stressand promoting optimal communication between the brain and immune system. Families who receive regular chiropractic care experience fewer colds, ear infections, and seasonal illnesses.
2. Enhances Nervous System Function for Optimal Health
The spine protects the nervous system, which controls every organ, muscle, and function in the body. Spinal misalignments (subluxations) can interfere with this communication, leading to:
🔹 Digestive issues like reflux, bloating, or constipation
🔹 Headaches, migraines, and tension-related pain
🔹 Chronic stress, fatigue, and difficulty sleeping
Regular chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment, ensuring that the brain-body connection remains clearso that the body can heal, adapt, and function at its best.
3. Improves Posture & Prevents Long-Term Damage
With technology use at an all-time high, poor posture is affecting children and adults alike. Forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and spinal misalignments can contribute to:
⚠ Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain
⚠ Increased risk of spinal degeneration & arthritis
⚠ Reduced lung capacity & energy levels
Chiropractic adjustments correct posture naturally, helping families maintain strong, balanced spines for a lifetime of better movement and function.
4. Reduces Stress & Supports Mental Well-being
Stress affects the entire family, often showing up as:
✔ Irritability & mood swings
✔ Sleep disturbances & fatigue
✔ Tension headaches & muscle tightness
Chiropractic care lowers cortisol (the stress hormone), enhances relaxation, and supports the parasympathetic nervous system, helping families feel calmer, more balanced, and emotionally resilient.

✔ Incorporate movement & exercise into daily routines

What To Expect
Our team has helped thousands of people transform their health and reach their full health potential.
We understand when you are experiencing pain, discomfort and other limitations poor health can place on your life, it can leave you feeling hopeless and frustrated, especially when your current care options just aren’t working. From the moment you arrive, you will feel heard, empowered and encouraged so you may experience true health and do what you love.
Pre Visit
Since chiropractic care involves a series of visits, with each one building on the ones before, it’s important for you to feel comfortable right from the start.
Once you book your appointment, whether online or over the phone with a team member, you’ll immediately be texted and emailed the new patient paperwork. Our doctors spend a great deal of time going through your paperwork together as a team before your visit, so we’re ready as soon as you arrive.
1st Visit
New patients often remark on how friendly the Align Chiropractic office is. Our office also employs the latest technologies: from digital X-rays to a computerized note tracking system. This is important because our goal is to offer state-of-the-art chiropractic care in a comfortable surrounding.
We Explain Everything First
The purpose of your consultation with the doctor is to discuss your health goals and see if chiropractic is likely to help you. If it looks promising, a thorough examination will help identify the cause of your problem. The examination will include orthopedic tests, Range of Motion, and a posture exam. Depending on the results of the exam X-rays will be taken to confirm your condition or diagnosis. Patients appreciate that we explain everything in advance!
2nd & 3rd Visits
After we study your health history and correlate our examination findings, we’ll make recommendations designed to help you get and keep your health. You doctor will then orally go over the findings and give you your first chiropractic adjustment. This is usually attended to on your second visit, which will be the following day.
Report of Findings
The following visit is called the Report of Findings or Doctors Report. This is where we will thoroughly educate and explain your problem and how chiropractic will help. Due to patient volume, the education part of the report is done in a group and the results and insurance financials are then gone over individually.
This is usually attended to on your third visit. This three-visit approach accomplishes several things:
- Reduces the length of your first visit
- Gives us time to correlate our findings
- Avoids overloading you with too much information
- Allows time to review any financial or care plan questions in detail
- In certain situations, and in the professional judgment of the doctors we sometimes make exceptions. It just depends on your unique situation.
Long Term
We focus on the nervous system, structural correction, and addressing the cause which allows the body to heal itself. We do believe life-time chiropractic is absolutely beneficial. The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics reported that “patients who went to DCs (doctors of chiropractic) as their primary care providers had 43% decreases in hospital admissions, 52% reductions in pharmaceutical costs and 43% fewer outpatient surgeries and procedures.” We have hundreds of patients who chose to continue getting adjusted year after year because they experience the benefits of strong immune systems, less sickness, better sleep, more energy, reduced symptoms, and overall better health. We also have patients who get adjusted for a specific issue, experience releif, and decide not to move forward with a wellness or maintenance plan. We high five, let them know we’re thankful to be part of their health journey, and make it clear we’re available with open arms should they ever need care again. We hope you forever take care of your nervous system and overall health, but ultimately, you are in charge of making your own health decisions. We always desire to be on your team and to encourage you along the way.
