Numbness and tingling in the arms can come from many sources. One possible source is chronically tight lower neck muscles that can irritate or compress the nerve plexus supplying the arms. In some cases, dysfunction or misalignment in the upper cervical spine may contribute to this muscle tension.

Waking up with numb or tingling hands? Your sleeping position may be one cause, but nerves, the neck, and other conditions can also play a role.

I normally don’t post this stuff to the practice page, but I realized recently that while I talk to you about doing for yourself- you probably needed to see it in action more.

I will always be okay with being a work in progress. This weekend I let myself be okay with taking Monday off even though the holiday gave people more time to come into the office. I took that day for me.

I’m learning to slow down and actually experience my life rather than trying to keep up with it.

Saturday we got to try archery for the first time with Conejo Valley Archers up in Simi Valley and it was so much fun! Definitely something we’ll do as a whole family again!

Sunday was a cozy family day with the usual groceries, laundry and hang out.

Monday we spent the morning moving slow, waiting for the sky to clear so that we could make it to my happy place- the beach! It has been too long since my feet were in the sand. We finished up the evening with some friends over to hang for a little bit and catch up.

One small thing doesn’t have to be solo - it just needs to be intentionally done for you.

I hope you had a lovely weekend and set up some intentional time for yourself this week!

Do you get dizzy when you tilt your head back or look up?

If so, your neck may be contributing to the problem. Learn more about the possible connection between the upper cervical spine and dizziness in the article below:

If you’re new here, this is probably the best place to start.

Most people who find ALIVE aren’t searching for upper cervical chiropractic.

They’re searching because something still isn’t right.

They may have seen doctors, specialists, physical therapists, chiropractors or other providers. They may have tried medications, exercises, treatments or simply waited to see if things would improve.

Sometimes they’ve been given a diagnosis. Sometimes they’ve been told everything looks normal. Sometimes things have helped, just not enough or not for long.

And they’re still wondering:

Is there something we haven’t looked at yet?

At ALIVE, I don’t assume I know the answer before I evaluate you.

I listen. I investigate. I test. I explain what I find.

And if I believe there’s something we can help with, I’ll explain what I recommend and why. If I don’t believe we’re the right place for you, I’ll tell you that too.

You don’t need to know what kind of care you need before you walk through our doors.

You can start with the questions.

That’s what the testing is for.

These aren’t values we chose because they sounded good.

They’re the standards I believe healthcare should be held to, and the standards I want ALIVE to be known for.

Unwavering Integrity. Exceptional Care. Disciplined Excellence.

Do the right thing, even when the easier choice is available.

Look after people. Listen. Explain. Answer questions. Make sure they feel genuinely cared for.

And do the things that matter exceptionally well, without doing more simply for the sake of doing more.

These values influence how we test, how we make recommendations, how we communicate, when we intervene, and even when we choose not to.

As ALIVE grows, they’re also the standards I intend to protect.

Because exceptional healthcare isn’t only about what happens during an appointment.

It’s about knowing someone is genuinely looking out for you.

There’s a particular kind of frustration that comes with knowing something still isn’t right, especially when you’ve already tried to figure it out.

Maybe you’ve seen specialists. Maybe you’ve tried different treatments. Maybe your testing has been called “normal.” Maybe you’ve even had some improvement, but you still feel like there’s a piece of the puzzle no one has quite looked at yet.

That’s where we like to start at ALIVE.

Not by assuming we already know what you need, but by listening, testing, and looking carefully at what may have been missed.

I don’t believe more treatment is automatically better treatment. I believe you deserve to understand what we’re seeing, why it matters, and whether what we do is actually appropriate for you.

Because ultimately, the goal isn’t to become really good at going to appointments.

The goal is getting your life back.

Still searching for answers? You’re in the right place to keep exploring.

I usually post a video to remind you to do something small for yourself.

Today I wanted to show it to you in action.

I took the picture and then put my phone down. I sat there for 15 mins in bed drinking my cup of tea mostly uninterrupted. We all had a horrible night with a scheduled power outage and I just needed the few extra minutes to get my body and brain ready for today.

I watched my kids go back and forth getting ready for school, my hubby was in the office working and I hung out and enjoyed my tea. This is doing one small thing for yourself.

I hope you take some time for yourself like this every single day. It might not be a cup of tea. Maybe it’s siting with your favorite book. Or sitting outside in your backyard and just enjoying the sunshine. It’s can be 5 minutes or an hour. Whatever you have time for that day.

Do it for yourself. You’re worth it and you deserve it. 🤍

15 years into practice, and my first business seminar away.

For years, I intentionally built my practice around being a mom. This weekend felt like the beginning of a new chapter.

I spent a few days learning, thinking bigger, asking better questions, and being surrounded by people who reminded me what’s possible.

Not because I want ALIVE to simply be bigger, but because I want to keep becoming better at what we do and find ways to serve more people in our community.

I’m coming home inspired, grateful, and ready for what’s next.

Vertigo – a sensation of whirling and loss of balance, associated particularly with looking down from a great height, or caused by disease affecting the inner ear or the vestibular nerve.⁠
