Thriving with Chiropractic

"Mommy! Mommy! Ethan said my name!"Isaac was blown away that his little brother actually said his name. For months now, Ethan would call both of his older brothers, Isaiah. Ethan adores his big brothers and because of that, there are two words he can say the clearest; "Isaiah" and the word "no." The word "no" is usually directed toward Ellen and I, which is often accompanied with aggressive hand-waving and head-shaking.  For example, "Ethan, eat your food"="NO!" or "Ethan, don't climb on the table"= "NO!" or "Ethan, it's time for a nap"= "NO!"Now, Ethan has a new favorite word, "Isaac." Isaac smiles every time he hears his name. Our own name is the most important sound in the human language. It is directly linked to our identity and who we are. For example, what's the question you ask when a pregnant woman reveals the gender of her unborn child? "What is your baby's name?" You had a name before you were even born.In our fast-paced, high-stress, and over-stimulated society we often struggle remembering people's names. This is not due to a lack of care but potentially due to a lack of presence in the moment of introduction. Our minds wander off more often than we would like, even during important events in our lives. My encouragement is to remember and use people's names and watch the joy rise in that person. You had a name and you were loved before you were even born. TWC Out rowAre you or a love one seeking to improve overall health naturally and to decrease pain?

Evan Marshall Mosier is finally here. He is alive and well!However, a few months ago, we didn't think that was the case. While camping on Memorial Day weekend, Ellen thought she was undergoing a miscarriage because of an abnormal amount of blood she was experiencing. We have never been through anything like that before and it was beginning to break our hearts. Despite the abnormal amount of blood, Ellen continued to feel morning sickness as if her pregnancy was still occurring. Her hormones hadn't returned back to "normal", non-pregnant, levels. This was a constant reminder of what she had lost. We made contact with the doctor's office about our sudden loss and with a call back, they asked for her to come into the office to have an ultrasound with a possible D&C. As we arrived to the doctor's office and entered the waiting room, there was a weird feeling as we were surrounded by happy, pregnant couples. Another reminder of our loss.Sometimes in our darkest moments, God shows up and shows off. Our ultrasound tech was unaware of our situation. All of a sudden, the tech casually says, "There's your baby with a heart rate of 154 BPM" as she's staring as the ultrasound monitor. Let's just say we were shocked. Fast forward to today, Evan is well-loved and wants constant cuddles from his big brothers who, of course, fight each other for the opportunity. We had 2 fears going into this 4th child of ours. First being a lack of time or presence from Ellen and I for each boy. We don't want them to grow up fighting for their individual attention with us. The second fear was, do I have enough love in the tank for a 4th boy? The other 3 have it all! However, what I quickly discovered while holding Evan for the first time, is that love is a limitless resource.TWC Out rowAre you or a love one seeking to improve overall health naturally and to decrease pain?

We need a Revolution, not a Resolution!I try not to use profanity in these emails, but we need to talk about a serious topic. The topic is... exercise. I'm sorry for my language. If you're like me, you get an allergic reaction when words of this nature come up. I generally get red in the face, sweat profusely, and even hyperventilate thus an allergic reaction. However, many people at this time of year are ready for a fresh start. All of us have our reasons: unsatisfied with how we look, health concerns, lack of energy, and so on. Regardless of the reason, together we need to make this year the year we stay consistent and stick to our goals. We need a revolution rather than another New Year's resolution. In order to make any serious change, we need to start small and simple. What is the best way to eat an elephant...one bite at a time. The KISS (keep it simple silly) principle will take us much further than we think is possible.  Here is my simple suggestion. Push-ups and squats. No weights or gym memberships are needed. Push-ups and squats cover the majority of the muscle groups and your body provides the resistance needed to challenge yourself for strength and endurance. Here is your exercise prescription (21 days).Day 1: 1 push-up and 1 squat.Day 2: 2 push-ups and 2 squats.Day 3: 3 push-ups and 3 squats... ...Day 21: 21 push-ups and 21 squats. I hope you find this encouraging and something that is easily attainable!

Do you only talk about Yourself?"I got a fire truck for Christmas." -Boy"I baked a mountain of cookies." -Girl"My dog peed on our Christmas tree." -Boy"I don't like green bean casserole." -Girl Have you ever listened to little kids communicate with each other? Often it seems like 2 conversations are happening at the same time. Each kid is eager to have someone listen to them and their story. Usually, this results in them not listening to the other person but waiting for their chance to speak again.  How often do we, as adults, do this? We are stressed and busy, trying to be polite but not actually listening. "I've got bigger problems than to listen to your problems." When we are so focused on ourselves and our problems, we give partial attention to our friends and family. We then become known for our absences. You're known for not being fully present or even worse, you become known for only talking about yourself. For 2025, what do you want to be known for?TWC Out rowAre you or a love one seeking to improve overall health naturally and to decrease pain?

You're a mean one Mrs. GrinchThere is a restaurant that our boys love to go to, but this restaurant makes Ellen and I turn Grinch green...Cracker Barrel! Our boys' love for this place is the same reason we despise it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the food. Actually, the food is quite delicious. My question to the Cracker Barrel owners is, why? Why all the toys? Why does taking the boys out to eat turn into Christmas in July? Yes, I already know what you are going to say. "You don't have to buy them a toy every time you go." You would be correct and that is what a good parent would do. However, the boys have more toys than Walmart (slight exaggeration) because their dad says "yes" a lot.  Late one night, when all the Mosier boys were asleep (including myself), the pregnant Grinch came out to organize and remove unused toys. Let's just say my F-150 was fully loaded down. The pregnant Grinch smiled and waved as she drove off to Goodwill. Lucky for the boys, Christmas is right around the corner and their jolly father will make up for what that mean pregnant Grinch lady did with all the toys (just kidding).  What is more important to the boys is our presence rather than the presents this Christmas. Often, we find ourselves busy with a project or tired from work. We aren't fully present in the moment. We hope during this season you can take time with your friends and family and be present.TWC Out rowAre you or a love one seeking to improve overall health naturally and to decrease pain?

“Apple! Apple!” Ethan pointed for an apple from the counter. What he thought were apples were actually homegrown tomatoes. Ellen sighed knowing it was pointless to argue with a toddler so she handed him a tomato. She glanced back at me and smiled as my jaw hit the floor. The sheer look of disgust on Ethan's face was priceless. Lesson learned, if mom says its a tomato, it's probably a tomato.Life lessons are learned from experiences. This is where wisdom is developed and how we choose to respond to the experience. You have probably heard the old saying, "Our wisdom comes with age but sometimes age comes alone." Our wisdom is developed by how we respond to adversities and challenges that we face. Ethan didn't ask for any more tomato- apples because his 2-year old mind just got a little wiser. What is great about wisdom is that it can be passed down. Majority of us have someone that look up to us. All of us have people we look up to and are inspired by throughout our lives. My encouragement today is simple: share and listen. Often, we are willing to share about a new restaurant or the new local boutique down the street. However, how often do we share the life lessons we have learned? Or maybe some of the adversities/challenges we have overcome? How often do we genuinely listen to the wisdom being given to us even when it's not what we want to hear?"No Ethan, that is not an apple."TWC Out rowAre you or a love one seeking to improve overall health naturally and to decrease pain?

Green death. If you are involved with dirt track racing, you may be familiar with this terminology. Apparently, after chatting with Emily and Kenrick (my future brother-in-law) about their racing dreams and goals, certain engine types cannot be stored and forgotten about during the winter.After eating hamburgers and hotdogs at Ethan's 2nd birthday party, Kenrick told me about how his car sat out for too long and it wouldn't start the other night. He got right to work on the carburetor. (If you are like me and didn't know what a carburetor does, I googled it for us. It's used to mix fuel and air together before sending the mix into the engine cylinders for ignition, powering the vehicle.) Since he is running an alcohol engine, it has the ability to develop an algae mold substance in the carburetor that could tear up the engine.Often, we forget that we are running a really expensive engine...our bodies. Similar to Kenrick's racecar requiring alcohol as fuel, our body needs fuel to run properly. The fuel we put into our body has a direct correlation to our health and performance. Another aspect of this lesson I learned from my racing friend, is that we have to rev up our engines. Sometimes, we have to move our bodies and get our heart rate up. What this does, is increase our immune system and burns off some of that green sludge of death (viruses and bacteria.) You essentially sweat it out. We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family.

"He's blue, why is he blue?" That was my initial thought when Ethan was born, 2 years ago. The first week of his life was spent in the NICCU fighting to breathe. We spent Thanksgiving in the hospital that year. Often, I wondered how I was going to drive home with an empty car seat. During that time, while I was holding him in the middle of the night with wires and tubes everywhere, I made a promise to him and myself that he would never have to see me hooked up to wires and monitors.  At the time I was closer to 400lbs than I was 300lbs. My weight and my health continued to get out of control. Fast forward 2 years, Ethan is walking, talking, and table climbing; a tyrannosaurus of a toddler. Even with my ups and downs, I'm down a little over 50lbs.  For many of us, there is no easy path for our weight loss journey. However, I will give you one tip during your Thanksgiving and even set you up for success in the upcoming weeks. Drink water and lots of it! The rule of thumb is to drink half of your body weight in fluid ounces. Therefore, if you weigh 200lbs, then you should drink 100 ounces of water per day. There are many benefits to drinking water such as increased metabolism, more energy, and satisfied stomach. This simple tip will keep you energetic and from over-eating this Thanksgiving. You will be left with more energy to be present with your loved ones during this season. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for you! TWC Out rowAre you or a love one seeking to improve overall health naturally and to decrease pain?

What is your limiting belief? If you think you can't, you're right "Camper, camper, I see a camper." Isaac can spot a camper a mile away. He loves camping so much that it's always on his 5-year old mind. Our brains focus on what we want to focus on. Take for instance, you get a new car, suddenly you begin to see your make and model of that car everywhere you go. Cars similar to yours have always been on the road, you're just now noticing them. Just like Isaac, your brain filters in what you want to focus on or what you don't.  This process comes from a bundle of nerves in your brainstem called, reticular activating system (RAS). Our brain has to conserve energy and is unable to focus on every single stimulus the brain receives; therefore, the RAS acts as a filter and allows us to focus our attention on specific stimuli. When it comes to mental health, your RAS can work for you or against you. This is where limiting beliefs come in. For example, if you think and tell yourself that you are "stupid" and "dumb," then your RAS will seek and find scenarios that confirm this belief you have of yourself. So, the next time someone asks you a question, and you feel "dumb" your limiting belief is solidified.  Great news! You are not up a creek without a paddle. Affirmations can turn your limiting beliefs around. Our brains only believe what we say about ourselves. Our brains don't care what your close friends say, "you are smart, funny, and great to be around" or what your spouse says, "no honey, your butt doesn't look big in those pants." You will only believe what you tell yourself which is where positive affirmations can change your life.  Do yourself a favor and write down your biggest limiting belief and then write down the opposite of your limiting belief as your affirmation. For the next week, repeat your affirmation 3 times a day.Please reach out and let me know what you experience after the 7 days.

“How many of these pills would I need to take to not wake up?”Migraines are one of the most devastating ailments our society face today. Often it leaves us with brain fog and puts us in an edgy mood. Many times dabilitating migrianes lead to strained relationships due to the constant pounding in our head. Canceling and missing out on family events becomes more common in our day-to-day lives. Priorities shift in a constant moving society causing ourselves to become the prime occupier of the back seat method to solving our own issues. If I don't think about it, then I'm okay and my issues don't exist. Answers are left to our own investigation for hope. Settling for the road mostly traveled of unknown answers and discontent creeps up to be the common grounds for most people with migraines.

 Mosier Family Chiropractic has created a workout group called The Journey. This group is to help support those in the startup of their year and their health. We believe that this is a revolution and not a resolution. We can overcome the fears and the hurdles that face us without falling off track.  We believe it is important to keep up with your health as well as your spinal health too. We all know that going to the gym can be intimidating and demotivating. Here in our facility we have our very own gym that we use that has no judgment or ego carried in. While keeping your body healthy is important, we also know that breathing is important too. It is essential to breathe with your diaphragm, in and out, with your belly. This gives you stability in the lumbar spine, or your low back. We encourage you to try out glute bridges and what we call the “cat-camel.” For glute bridges, all you need to do is lay on the floor with your knees up and bent, and raise your bottom off the floor. This supports and strengthens your lumbar spine. The cat-camel is simple. All you need to do is get down on to your fours, raise your back up and stretch and then lower your stomach and stretch again. This movement gains strength and mobility in the thoracic spine. 

Here at Mosier Family Chiropractic we believe it is so important that our patients know what chiropractic can really do for people. We encourage that everyone finds us on our podcast on both Spotify and Apple Podcasts, our Facebook page, and YouTube to find out more about chiropractic and its benefits. In our office we have a saying that we like to tell our patients and that is, everyone has a story worth sharing. All of our stories are different and everyone should have the chance to be heard. By telling us your story we can help change and impact others lives!

Why do we offer massage therapy? How did we get it started? Before Ellen decided to become a massage therapist, she worked with children with autism in a home. Ellen became interested in trigger point therapy and learned how it can help children with autism with both their behaviors and overall health. She learned that massage therapy was a great way to help with children with autism so she decided to go through the massage schooling to become a therapist to help those who may need it. Later on, both Ellen and Dr. Mosier learned that massage therapy works well alongside chiropractic treatments so when they opened up their office they wanted to include massage therapy in their care for their patients.Massage therapy helps to release the trigger points, or knots, which helps the body to relax and to release the tension in those muscles as well. Massage therapy is for everyone in general, elderly, prenatal, and even athletes. Massage therapy is usually thought of as a relaxing experience that you go out to do. While massage is very relaxing, it's also very therapeutic and healing.

There are many things that you can do at home that will help aid your chiropractic adjustments for optimal healing. Here in our office we have, what we call, a spinal hygiene kit that we encourage our patients to utilize. In the spinal hygiene kit you'll find 3 items; foam rollers, a wobble seat, and a Thera band as well. To use the foam rollers you should lie on a bed and place 1 foam roller under your neck and 1 foam roller under your low back. This will help restore the curve in your spine. For the wobble seat, all you need is a firm chair to place the wobble seat on with the prickly side up. Then sit your bottom on the wobble seat and move your hips to the left, to the right, and then forward and backwards. Once you are comfortable with those hips movements you can move your hips in a circular motion. The wobble seat, when used, pumps fluid into the discs of your spine. This movement properly hydrates the spine. The last item you'll use is the Thera band which is placed behind the head and stretched out in front of you, this helps the curve in your neck and strengthens the neck muscles. Not only is the spinal hygiene kit important, but keeping up with your range of motion exercises, your icing, and even the supplements you take are just as important too. The range of motion exercises, is simply looking down as far as you can, looking up as far as you can, and then tilting the head to the right with your ear to the shoulder, and the same with the left. You'll also want to the same with your waist. Bend down and touch your toes, bend back, and twist to the left and twist to the right. It's important to remember icing your neck and your back 4 times a day for 20 minutes each time. We also encourage our patients' take the Edison packs that we offer here in our office. We have both men's and women's multivitamins with a bone, nerve, and joint supplement. These supplements are great for giving the body its natural nutrients that our bodies need that we don't have in our food that we eat.
