👶 Chiropractic care isn’t just for grown-ups!

Babies and kids are doing a LOT of growing, learning, falling, climbing, running… and occasionally launching themselves off furniture for absolutely no reason. 😂

Pediatric chiropractic care is designed specifically for their little bodies. Adjustments are gentle, specific, and use much less force than what you may picture with an adult adjustment.

Whether we’re checking a newborn after birth, a toddler who is constantly on the move, or a kiddo involved in sports the goal is simple: help their body move and function the best it can as they grow.

And yes, we’re always happy to show parents exactly what we’re doing and answer ALL the questions. 🙌

Your body is REALLY good at finding a workaround

Tight hip? You may start moving differently through your low back.

Shoulder not moving well? Your neck and upper traps may decide to help out.

One side isn’t doing its job? The other side may quietly start picking up the slack.

Your body will compensate like a champ… until the backup plan starts getting irritated too. 😅

That’s one reason we don’t only look at 👉where👈 you hurt.

At Skelly Chiropractic & Wellness, we want to figure out why that area may be working overtime in the first place and help get things moving better from there.

Movement Monday: Open Book Stretch 📖

The Open Book Stretch is one of our favorite simple mobility exercises for getting a little more movement through the upper back.

It can help improve thoracic rotation, open up tight muscles through the chest, and encourage better movement through the shoulders and upper spine. This makes it a great little movement break if you spend a lot of your day sitting, driving, or working at a desk.

Try 5–8 controlled reps on each side, pausing for 2–3 slow breaths in the open position.

Remember, you don’t need to force your arm all the way to the floor. Keep it smooth, comfortable, and work within the range your body gives you that day.

Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know the word chiropractic comes from Greek words meaning "done by hand”? 🙌

Pretty fitting for a profession that’s all about using our hands to help your body move and function a little better. 😉

Sometimes the best tools are the ones we already have! ✋

🐾 It’s National Dog Day!

Our dogs may not know much about wellness plans… but they definitely have a few things figured out:
get outside, move every day, take plenty of naps, stretch often, and spend time with your favorite people. 🐶🤍

Honestly, not a bad routine.

Give your favorite four-legged family member some extra love today!

A little hip mobility can go a long way 👏

This standing stretch targets the tensor fasciae latae (TFL) — a small muscle on the front/outer part of your hip that helps with hip flexion, abduction, and internal rotation

It also connects into your IT band and helps stabilize the hip and knee during things like walking, running, and standing on one leg.

The TFL can get a little overworked with lots of sitting, running, repetitive hip movement, or when your glutes aren't doing their fair share. You may feel that tightness right around the "front pocket” area of your hip.

Keep the movement slow and gentle, hold for about 30 seconds, and add it into your next stretch break!

Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know it takes 65 muscles to frown… but only 13 muscles to smile?

Why work overtime? 😉

Your body is designed to move, adapt, and function best when you take care of it. So today’s reminder: choose the smile, take a deep breath, move your body, and do something that makes you feel good!

Happy Friday from your friends at Skelly Chiropractic & Wellness

Bonus Fact ✨
BJ Palmer (1882–1961) was one of the pioneers of chiropractic. He helped turn chiropractic from a small idea into a worldwide profession and was a strong believer in the body’s ability to heal and function at its best.

Fun fact: we actually love when you say, “I don’t know how to explain it… it just feels weird.”

You do not have to walk into our office knowing exactly what muscle hurts, what joint is irritated, or what your diagnosis is.

That’s our job.

Tell us:
“it catches when I do this.”
“it feels tight right here.”
“my shoulder just doesn’t move like the other one.”
“something feels off.”

Those little details can tell us a LOT.

So if you’ve been putting off making an appointment because you don’t really know what’s wrong…

That’s a completely acceptable place to start.

Movement Monday!!!

Shoulder pain can make you want to protect your movement… but sometimes gentle motion is exactly what your body needs. 👏

The shoulder pendulum exercise uses gravity and gentle movement to help promote mobility while allowing the muscles around the shoulder to relax.

Think:
⬇️ Arm relaxed
🔄 Small circles
😌 No forcing
💪 Slow & controlled

Your shoulder doesn’t always need more strength, sometimes it needs better movement first.

Your spinal discs are kind of overachievers. 🥇

They don't just "sit there" between your vertebrae.

They're busy:
💥 Absorbing shock
💪 Helping hold your spine together
⚖️ Spreading your body weight evenly so one area doesn't take all the stress

Pretty impressive for something most people never think about!
Give your spine a little love this weekend with some movement, plenty of water, and good posture. Your discs will thank you! 🙌
