Spring Allergies? Chiropractic Care to Help You Breathe Easier
Mother's Day Special discounts inside!
Don’t forget our Mother’s Day discounts during the month of May!
Here are our top mom-approved supplements, (15% off in May!) available right here in our office:
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 drinks half the gummy vitamins before you blink, this is your new go-to. These soft chews taste amazing (seriously—no weird chalky 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.

Spring Allergies? Chiropractic Care to Help You Breathe Easier
Ahhh, spring… the season of blooming flowers, longer days, and—for many—nonstop sneezing, runny noses, and eyes so itchy you’d trade your favorite coffee mug just for a moment of relief. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. Nearly 1 in 4 Americans wrestle with spring allergies every year, and most turn to over-the-counter meds that often leave them foggy-headed or wired like they drank three espressos on an empty stomach.
But what if you could support your body naturally—without the fog, fatigue, or funky side effects?
As a Master-level chiropractor trained in the Zone Technique, I want to let you in on how chiropractic care goes beyond cracking backs and fixing necks. It’s actually a powerful way to support your immune and sinus health—especially this time of year.
Let’s dive into three lesser-known, practical ways chiropractic care can help you breathe easier this spring—plus a few tips on natural supplements and how our very own Dr. Kayla is helping moms-to-be breathe (and live) better.
🌿 1. Zone 3: Nervous System Balance to Calm Overactive Allergy Responses
Did you know your nervous system plays a major role in how your body reacts to allergens like pollen, dust, and dander?
Zone 3 of the Zone Technique focuses on harmonizing the nervous system. When your nervous system is out of whack, your body can go into overdrive, interpreting harmless things (like flower pollen) as mortal enemies. That’s when the histamines fly and the tissues swell like balloon animals.
A gentle Zone adjustment that targets Zone 3 helps restore calm to your body’s internal alarm system. This makes your allergy responses less intense—and your tissues less puffy. Who knew that an allergy defense strategy could involve your spine and brain, not just tissues and antihistamines?
🧼 2. Lymph Flow and Drainage: The Unsung Hero of Allergy Relief
Here’s a little-known fact: your lymphatic system is like your body’s mop and bucket for clearing out irritants and toxins—including those pesky allergens.
While it’s not something most allergy sufferers think about, chiropractic care (especially Zone-based adjustments) can enhance lymphatic drainage. When your lymph flows freely, your immune system is better able to process and clear allergens. You’ll feel less congested, swollen, and stuffy-headed.
Pro tip? Pair your adjustments with dry brushing or rebounding (light jumping on a mini-trampoline) at home to stimulate lymph flow. And no, you don’t need to bounce like a kangaroo—just a few minutes a day can do wonders. Bonus: it’s surprisingly fun and makes you feel like a kid again.
Dry brushing is a wellness practice where you use a firm, natural-bristle brush on your dry skin, usually before showering, to stimulate the lymphatic system, exfoliate dead skin cells, and increase circulation.
How It Works:
You brush your skin using long, gentle strokes toward the heart, starting from your feet and working upward. The idea is to encourage lymph fluid (which helps remove toxins from the body) to flow properly, supporting your immune system and reducing inflammation—both helpful during allergy season.
Benefits of Dry Brushing:
Boosts lymphatic drainage
Exfoliates dead skin and improves skin tone
Increases blood flow and energy
May help reduce swelling and puffiness
Feels invigorating—like a shot of espresso for your skin
It only takes about 5 minutes, and many people say it leaves them feeling more awake, refreshed, and even less congested.
🍽️ 3. Gut Health & Allergies: A Surprising Connection
Here’s one most people don’t expect: your gut health plays a huge role in allergy severity.
Zone 4 of the Zone Technique targets the digestive system, which has a direct relationship with the immune system. An imbalanced gut can lead to an overactive immune response, making your body more likely to react to allergens. By improving digestive balance, you support immune clarity from the inside out.
Add in chiropractic adjustments that restore digestive zone function, and you’re not just managing symptoms—you’re getting to the root of the problem. Yes, that means fewer flare-ups, less inflammation, and more time outside enjoying spring, not dodging it.
👶 Meet Dr. Kayla: Webster Technique Expert & Allergy Ally for Moms-to-Be

Allergy season can be tough enough. Add pregnancy to the mix, and it’s a whole different game. Luckily, our own Dr. Kayla is trained in the Webster Technique, a specialized chiropractic method that’s safe and incredibly effective for pregnant women.
Dr. Kayla works with moms-to-be to ease sinus pressure, reduce inflammation, and support better breathing—all without medications that may be off-limits during pregnancy.

So if you’re expecting (or know someone who is), send them Dr. Kayla’s way for personalized, gentle care that supports both mom and baby.
🌱 Natural Supplement Support: Skip the Fog, Keep the Relief
Instead of relying on conventional allergy meds that can make you drowsy, jittery, or strangely disconnected from reality, try going the natural route.
Here are a few supplements we recommend that are gentle on your body and effective at allergy relief:
Quercetin & Bromelain – This dynamic duo helps calm histamine responses and reduces inflammation. Think of it as nature’s Claritin—without the brain fog.
Phytofed – a natural, non-drowsy herbal decongestant that helps open up the airways, clear sinuses, and reduce inflammation—all without the side effects of traditional allergy medications.
Vitamin C + Zinc – A classic combo that supports immune defense and helps your body react more rationally to allergens (instead of going full drama queen).
Natural alternatives work with your body—not against it. And while results can take a bit longer than popping a pill, the benefits are longer-lasting and come without the side effects. Your sinuses (and your sleep cycle) will thank you.
