Supporting Your Immune System with Careful Chiropractic Care

May 31, 2023 No Comments

When it comes to our health, it’s important to take a proactive approach, rather than just reacting to symptoms as they arise. One way to do this is by seeking out care that supports and strengthens our immune system, such as chiropractic care. At The Wellery MN, we specialize in providing careful, customized care that promotes overall health and wellness. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the ways that chiropractic care can support your immune system and help you stay healthy.

1. Enhancing nerve function
The nervous system plays a crucial role in the functioning of our immune system, as it helps to regulate the communication between cells and signals the proper immune response. Chiropractic care focuses on ensuring that the spine and nervous system are functioning optimally, which can improve immune function and help the body respond more effectively to stressors and infections.

2. Reducing inflammation
Inflammation is a natural response that the body uses to fight off infection and injury, but it can become chronic when left unchecked, which can lead to a host of health problems. Chiropractic adjustments can help to reduce inflammation by restoring alignment to the spine and reducing the stress placed on surrounding tissues and nerves.

3. Improving circulation
Proper circulation is key to the immune system‘s ability to function effectively and efficiently. Chiropractic adjustments can help to improve blood flow to and from the affected area, which can support both healing and immune function. Additionally, chiropractic adjustments can stimulate the release of immune-boosting hormones, which can enhance the body’s natural defenses.

4. Promoting healthy habits
In addition to the physical benefits of chiropractic care, many patients find that regular appointments help them establish and maintain healthy habits that support their immune systems. This might include nutrition counseling, stress reduction interventions, or other lifestyle changes that can boost immunity and overall wellness.

5. Supporting mental health
Our mental and emotional health plays a significant role in the functioning of our immune system, as stress and anxiety can weaken our body’s ability to fight off infection. Chiropractic care can not only reduce physical stress and tension but also help to promote relaxation and mental well-being, which can support our immune system and overall health.

At The Wellery MN, we believe that true health and wellness are about more than just the absence of symptoms. By taking a comprehensive, holistic approach to care, we strive to promote overall health and well-being for each of our patients. If you’re interested in learning more about how our careful chiropractic care can support your immune system and help you stay healthy, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with our experienced team today. Together, we can work towards a healthier, happier you.

The Wellery in Maple Grove, MN: How Chiropractic Care Fits into a Wellness Lifestyle

May 8, 2023 No Comments

Achieving wellness isn’t just about treating an illness or injury. It’s about taking a holistic approach to health and well-being that involves balancing physical, mental, and emotional health. At The Wellery in Maple Grove, MN, we believe that chiropractic care is an essential part of a wellness lifestyle. Chiropractic care offers numerous benefits that complement other aspects of wellness such as exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at how chiropractic care fits into a wellness lifestyle at The Wellery in Maple Grove, MN.

1. Chiropractic Care for Pain Management

Pain is a common symptom that can be caused by a myriad of health conditions. Chiropractic care is an alternative treatment for pain management that is safe and effective. Our chiropractors at The Wellery in Maple Grove, MN, use gentle adjustments to the spine to realign misaligned vertebrae, alleviate nerve compression and restore proper function. Chiropractic care can help with conditions such as neck pain, back pain, headaches, migraines, sciatica, and fibromyalgia.

2. Chiropractic Care for Improved Joint Function

Chiropractic care isn’t only for those who experience pain or injury. Regular chiropractic adjustments can improve joint function and movement, which is essential for overall mobility and flexibility. As we age, our joints become stiffer, and we lose mobility, which restricts our physical activity and overall quality of life. Chiropractic care can help prevent this decline by addressing joint stiffness, improving range of motion, and addressing any underlying joint dysfunction.

3. Chiropractic Care for Stress Management

Stress is a pervasive issue that can have a significant impact on physical and emotional health. Stress can cause muscle tension, headaches, digestive issues, and sleep disturbances. Chiropractic care is an excellent complement to mindfulness practices such as meditation and yoga. Chiropractic adjustments reduce muscle tension, increase relaxation and improve overall well-being.

4. Chiropractic Care for Improved Sleep

Sleep is crucial for overall health and well-being. Poor sleep quality or quantity can lead to a host of health issues such as depression, anxiety, and chronic pain. Chiropractic care can help improve sleep quality by reducing the pain and discomfort caused by underlying musculoskeletal issues. When the spine is aligned properly, the body is better able to relax and enter deep restorative sleep.

5. Chiropractic Care for Overall Wellness

At The Wellery in Maple Grove, MN, we take a holistic approach to wellness, and chiropractic care is an essential part of our wellness philosophy. Chiropractic care is a safe, natural, and effective treatment option that can address many underlying health conditions. Our chiropractors work with patients to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses their individual needs, goals and helps them achieve optimal health and well-being.

Staying Healthy This Winter

April 3, 2023

Staying healthy during the cold, dark winter months is no easy task. We’re cooped up indoors and the bacteria and viruses seem to multiply just as fast as the snow piling up outside. We took a moment to refresh on tips for keeping ourselves and our families in tip top shape. 

  • Get adjusted. Keeping up regular chiropractic adjustments boosts your immune system and helps your body better adapt to the various stressors that come with the harsh winter months.

  • Wash your hands. This seems obvious, but we’re likely not doing it justice. Work up a good lather and take at least 30 seconds. Remember to get under your fingernails. 

  • Stay hydrated. We don’t always have the urge to quench our thirst when it’s cold, but staying hydrated helps get nutrients to our cells and rid our body of the bad stuff. A good rule of thumb is to drink half your weight in ounces each day.

  • Soak up the sunshine. Get yourself and the kids outside on those sunny days, just 10 – 15 minutes of sunshine can elevate moods and help boost vitamin D production. 

  • Practice self-care. Our immune system does not function as optimally under extreme stress. And, when we’re stressed, we don’t always chose the healthy option. Find time to recharge. We can’t take care of others if we don’t first take care of ourselves. 

  • Sleep well. Regular exercise can go a long way in improving sleep and fending off the dreaded winter weight gain. 

  • Increase herbal routines. In addition to the obvious immune boosting properties, natural supplements also help us fight infection. And, they don’t simply suppress symptoms like over the counter medications do.

Meet Chadd, Chiropractor and Owner

April 3, 2023

Q: Tell us how The Wellery came to be.

A: The Wellery became a reality during my 3 years practicing chiropractic in India. Stop in for a coffee and I can fill you in on how India came to be (it’s a long story). Before India, I practiced for 8+ years in Maple Grove, MN where I was increasingly seeing more babies and kids and experiencing firsthand the profound impacts adjustments were having on our little ones for a variety of challenges. The idea was starting to develop, but it wasn’t fully visible. Insert India. Living abroad has a way of taking you out of your comfort zone and seeing things differently. It brought a sense of discovery and clarity I hadn’t experienced before. Living in India helped me decide I would unapologetically cater to this need in the community when moving back stateside. I’ve been working on The Wellery since 2017, and I’m really excited to share it with all of you. 

Q: What are you most excited about?

A: Our purpose statement says it best: helping parents raise healthier kids. The Wellery is chiropractic care and so much more. We’re bringing together a set of expert practitioners to do what they do best, and to enable an environment of continuous learning, collaboration and problem solving. In addition to chiropractic, we offer postpartum counseling. 

Q: How did you build The Wellery team?

A: I felt it was important to anchor these decisions to The Wellery’s purpose and values, and to tap into the network of experts I had previously leveraged in the metro area. I wanted to bring the right set of specialists together to address the vast number of issues families face. I’m an expert in the nervous system, but through my pediatric training, I understand how outcomes can be enhanced when you have the right set of practitioners working together towards a common goal. 

Purpose (Why we exist): Helping parents raise healthier kids. 

Values (How we deliver our purpose): Optimism, Empathy, Trust & Responsibility

Q: What differentiates “The Wellery” from other chiropractic clinics? 

A: Since its inception, every decision has been patient centric, catering to families, babies and kids. From architecture, to design, to process and paperwork, to pricing, everything is in service to making it an exceptional experience. The environment is fresh and fun, and it doesn’t feel like a health clinic. I wanted The Wellery to be a space that inspires us every day. Kids know when they’re going to the doctor and that can be very anxiety inducing, and scary—they won’t see or feel that it in this space. We think you’ll love it, and so will your little ones.
