🦠 Cold & flu season is coming… so let’s talk about your immune system.

Did you know your nervous system and immune system are constantly communicating with one another?

That connection is one reason we’re interested in the relationship between spinal health, nervous system function, and overall wellness.

Some research has found that spinal manipulation may produce short-term changes in certain immune-related biomarkers. However, the research is still developing, and we don't want to overstate what the science can tell us.

What we do know? Supporting your overall health matters.

✔️ Get enough sleep
✔️ Stay hydrated
✔️ Eat well
✔️ Keep moving
✔️ Manage stress
✔️ Take care of your spine and nervous system

At 33/18 Chiropractic & Wellness, we believe chiropractic care is one piece of a bigger wellness picture, not a replacement for good nutrition, healthy habits, vaccinations, or appropriate medical care.

Your health is worth taking care of before you feel run down.

Specific care. Better movement. Better life.

Go see your chiropractor… because Google doesn’t know everything. 😉

You can Google symptoms. You can read articles. You can fall down a rabbit hole of “what does this pain mean?” at 11:30 PM. 😂

But sometimes you need an actual person to listen, evaluate what’s going on, and answer your questions.

At 33/18 Chiropractic & Wellness, we believe your care should be specific to you—not just a generic solution based on a Google search.

Got a question about your health, movement, or something that just doesn’t feel right? Let’s talk about it.

MYTH MONDAY! 🦴

👉 MYTH: “Aging causes joint pain.”

Not necessarily! Getting older doesn’t automatically mean you have to accept achy, stiff joints as part of life.

Joint pain is often influenced by inflammation, and there are several ways we can support a healthier inflammatory response:

🥗 Nutrition: What you eat can influence inflammation throughout the body.

🏃‍♀️ An active lifestyle: Regular movement helps keep joints moving, muscles strong, and your body functioning the way it was designed to.

👐 Chiropractic care: Research has shown that spinal adjustments can influence inflammatory processes, including reducing the production of certain inflammatory cytokines.

That's why we believe wellness and chiropractic care go hand-in-hand. It's not just about treating pain. It's about helping your body function better so you can keep doing the things you love.

Getting older isn't the problem. Stopping movement, neglecting nutrition, and ignoring your body's needs are a much bigger concern. 😉

Specific care. Better movement. Better life.

Specific care. Better movement. Better life. 💙

What if we stopped thinking about health as simply “nothing hurts, so I must be healthy”?

Feeling good is great. But true wellness is also about how well your body moves, functions, recovers, and performs in everyday life.

You don't have to wait until something is broken to start taking better care of yourself.

Health isn't just about fixing problems. It's about supporting your body so it can do what you ask of it. 💪

That’s a big part of what the “& Wellness” in 3318 Chiropractic & Wellness means.

💧 WELLNESS WEDNESDAY: Midweek hydration check!

Be honest…which emoji are you? 😂

💦💦💦 “Water is basically my personality.”
💧💧 “I’m trying…does coffee count?”
🌵 “Water? What’s that?”

Staying hydrated is one of those simple wellness habits that can make a big difference. Your body needs water for things like temperature regulation, digestion, circulation, and normal physical performance.

So grab that water bottle and take a drink. Right now. 👇💧

And while you're at it, comment with your hydration emoji! We want to see how everyone is doing. 😂

📱 DAILY LIFE TUESDAY: If you spend a good chunk of your day sitting at a desk, staring at a screen, or scrolling on your phone, your posture may be paying the price.

And unfortunately, your body doesn’t care that you’re “just checking one more email.” 😂

Poor posture over time can contribute to:
• Neck and shoulder tension
• Back discomfort
• Reduced mobility
• Muscle imbalances
• Headaches and fatigue

The good news? Posture is something you can work on. Getting up regularly, changing positions, moving throughout the day, strengthening the right muscles, and paying attention to how you sit and stand can all make a difference.

Your daily habits add up, so make sure they’re helping your body, not working against it. 💪And stop ignoring your watch when it tells you to MOVE 🤣⌚

🧊 MYTH MONDAY: “Chiropractic is just for treating back pain.”

Not quite!

Back pain may be one reason someone walks through our door, but chiropractic care isn’t simply about chasing symptoms. At 33/18, we take the time to evaluate how you move, identify areas that may be contributing to the problem, and develop care around the individual, not just the complaint.

Because sometimes the spot that hurts isn’t the whole story.

And just like an iceberg…there may be more going on beneath the surface. 🧊😉

Specific care means looking deeper, not just treating what you feel.
