Mother’s Day Self-Care: Chiropractic Care for Moms On-the-Go

You remembered the diaper bag, snacks, water bottles, and the sunscreen—but when’s the last time you remembered yourself?

If you’re a mom, chances are your “to-do” list has a longer resume than most CEOs. Between soccer practice, work meetings, carpool lines, and making sure no one eats glitter again (you know who you are, toddlers), it’s easy to push your own well-being to the bottom of the list.

This Mother’s Day, we’re flipping the script. Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s survival. And as a chiropractor trained in the Zone Technique, I want to share how real, restorative care can help moms stay energized, pain-free, and mentally recharged—without adding another thing to your plate (besides maybe cake... definitely keep the cake).

Here are 3 practical, underrated chiropractic self-care tips specifically for moms like you—who are short on time, but big on taking care of everyone else.

1. Check Your “Mom Bag” Posture (Yes, That’s a Thing)

Let’s talk bags. Whether it's a diaper bag, a stylish tote, or a Mary Poppins-esque black hole of juice boxes and snacks, your shoulder is working overtime. But here’s the kicker: carrying a heavy bag on one side throws off your spinal alignment, impacts Zone 1 (the glandular system), and can cause mid-back pain, shoulder strain, and even tension headaches.

Pro Tip: Switch shoulders regularly (every 20–30 minutes if you're walking a lot), and when possible, opt for a backpack style that evenly distributes weight. It’s not glamorous, but your spine will thank you.

2. Practice “Standing Reset” During Screen Time

Whether you're binge-watching a show with your teen or scrolling while waiting in the school pickup line, you’re likely in a forward-head posture. This strains your neck (Zone 3) and can contribute to fatigue, headaches, and mood dips.

Here’s the move: Every 20 minutes, stand up tall, squeeze your shoulder blades together, take 3 deep breaths, and gently tilt your head back. It’s like a mini reboot for your nervous system—and it only takes 30 seconds. (Bonus: your kids will think you’re stretching to spy on them. Win-win.)

3. “Tummy Time” Isn’t Just for Babies—It’s for Moms Too

This one sounds silly, but hear me out. Laying flat on your belly for 3–5 minutes a day (on a firm surface, arms relaxed at your sides) helps decompress your lower back, realign the pelvis, and relieve tension from daily lifting and bending. This simple technique supports Zone 5 (muscular system) and can help reduce low back fatigue common in moms.

Try it: While your kids are doing tummy time or watching TV, join them. You might even get a giggle or two when they try to climb on your back. (Pro tip: that’s not part of the therapy.)

Meet Dr. Kayla: Supporting Moms from Bump to Baby

If you’re expecting—or thinking about it—let me introduce you to someone who’s changing the game for pregnant women in Wichita: Dr. Kayla, our Webster Technique-certified chiropractor.

The Webster Technique is a specialized chiropractic approach that focuses on balancing the pelvis and reducing tension in the surrounding muscles and ligaments. This can lead to more comfort during pregnancy, improved fetal positioning, and even a smoother delivery. Dr. Kayla is passionate about supporting mamas-to-be with gentle, effective care that helps them feel empowered, aligned, and ready for the road ahead (even if it involves more midnight snacks and less sleep).

Natural Energy, Mood & Hormone Support: Smart Supplements for Busy Moms (and Their Kiddos, Too!)

Let’s be honest: the average mom’s energy tank is running closer to “coffee fumes and adrenaline” than “fully charged.” And while it might be tempting to grab another espresso or an over-the-counter fix, we’ve got a better idea—natural support that fuels your body and your family’s wellness long-term.

Here are our top mom-approved supplements, available right here in our office, and ON SALE throughout May:

  • Vitamin D3 + K2 – This powerhouse combo doesn’t just support bone health (although that’s a big deal when you’re constantly carrying kids, car seats, and groceries). It also plays a key role in immune system function and mood regulation—two things every mom could use a boost in. The K2 helps guide calcium to your bones instead of soft tissues, while D3 helps lift those low-energy, cloudy-day moods.

  • B Complex – Think of this as your daily dose of “get stuff done.” B vitamins are essential for turning the food you eat into the energy you need. They also support nervous system function, reduce stress, and help improve focus and stamina—especially helpful when you're multitasking like a magician.

  • FemGuard+Balance – This one’s tailor-made for women. Whether you're managing monthly cycles, postpartum shifts, or just trying to feel like your body isn’t in “rollercoaster mode,” FemGuard provides hormone-balancing support with a blend of herbs, minerals, and nutrients. It promotes steady energy, a clearer mind, and fewer of those “why am I crying over a dog food commercial?” moments.

  • Bariatric Fusion Multivitamin Soft Chews – Surprise! This one’s not just for moms—it’s for the little ones, too. If you’ve got a picky kiddo who gags at the thought of swallowing a pill or you’re having trouble finding quality kids vitamins NOT loaded with artificial junk, this is your new go-to. These soft chews taste amazing (seriously—no weird aftertaste), contain no synthetic sweeteners, and deliver the essential nutrients your child needs to grow strong and healthy. Moms love them for their simplicity. Kids love them because they think they’re candy. Everybody wins.

Grab any of these supplements for 15% off throughout the month of May in honor of our amazing moms!!
